I’d love to hear what any of these songs mean to anybody reading out there, and to see how YOUR list turns out!
Tony Caselli 
I love those songs…esp. Walk like an egyptian…go BANGLES!!! And funky town…so tony, does that mean you’re a funky egyptian????
Deb
Well, I’m a funky italian, but I do like the Bangles! Prince wrote a couple songs for them, in fact, including Manic Monday – he dated the lead chick with the big eyes for a while – can’t remember her name…
Man, how could YOU not bold up Bruce Willis-Respect Yourself. I have memories of you playing the Air Harmonica, standing on top of the coffee table in the living room…
Dom
Omigod, I’d forgotten about that! Yeah, for awhile I dug that song…I guess after I’d realized that it was Bruce Willis doing his Bruce Willis thing, I got turned off by it a bit…still, I like his movies! And he does play a good harmonica! But it’s not one of my FAV’s, so no bolding.
