Celebration (Kool & the Gang) + Daybreak (Barry Manilow) are the first two songs on my playlist ...

... that I want to have ready to play on "the day IT happens". I'll open the windows and crank it up to eleven... no matter what time of day or night.

What other songs should I add?

Do you have a "He's Dead At Last, Thank God Almighty He's Dead At Last" playlist? What songs do you have ready to go?
