Ah, okay. Once again, I find I wasnā€™t clear in my OP, sorry! I actually wanted yā€™all to pretend you were an actual Italian Mafia Don (Think Don Corleone, etc.) and tell us what tunes youā€™d hear in your limo or on your iPod. ---

I would play the same must I listen to now. Beatles, Springsteen, Social Distortion, Johnny Cash, Kanye West and Jay Z. I think Kanye and Jay would see heavy rotation. I might skip over some of the songs from the **Glee** soundtrack though. ---

I think the musical part of the ā€œRat Packā€ loved ā€œDinoā€ as well as ā€œThe Chairmanā€ and Sammy Davis, Jr. Probably most of the headliners in Vegas appealed to the ā€œMobā€, dontcha reckon?

Something like [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrX6RE2fQ3M) Iā€™d imagine. There is lots of stuff like this around. Someone did a CD compilation of it which was very popular in Holland and Germany about five years or so ago. Living in Italy, it cuts too close to the bone. I quite like the style, but I couldnā€™t listen to it or use it as background to a dinner part as we used to do in Holland. ---

My experience says, yes, a lot of the rat packā€¦ but a surprising amount of 70s mellow music. The newer generation has ditched that for mostly rap and cheap pop crap. ---
