A Fine '09: Winter 2009

This playlist is long overdue, and for that I apologize. I realize y'all have been songless for the past two months, but the wait is over (I like to imagine there's a ton of y'all out there eagerly awaiting my seasonal compilations with anticipation). Here's a soundtrack to help you get through all of the broken New Year's resolutions, all of the winter chills and all of the economy-related stress.

Sealed and approved by yours truly:

1. "Girl Next Door" by Darin - Get past the "Just Dance" rip-off and imagine the whole thing choregraphed at a senior prom in a number that would make HSM3 look like a cheesy theme park attraction. Listen HERE.

2. "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson

3. "Give It To Me Right" by Melanie Fiona

4. "Kiss You All Over" by Danny:



5. "Halo" by Beyonce
