100 Songs You Need on Your IPod because I said so . . .


Having the following songs on your playlist will be helpful should you find yourself the following situations:


at a West Virginia football game
during the 7th inning stretch
Karaoke night
after the elderly relatives have left the Wedding Reception
when someone makes clever cultural references
if you’re ever a contestant on Jeopardy
when you’re watching Forrest Gump
just in case you find yourself at a Fraternity Party
when you’re watching Glee
during Saturday Night Live skits
