The Beginning of the End

Dude. August. Countdown to the start of school or end of summer. Same thing. Once you start to worry about school supplies, you may as well kiss your days of freedom goodbye my friend. In keeping with that theme, I have compiled your Complete Playlist to Usher in the Last Days of Summer/Start of School. Trust me. This will make all those end of Summer activities even sweeter and that school prep less onerous.

1. Metallica-Fuel

Because you can't start anything properly unless you have ROCKED! What are you thinking?

2.Rupert Holmes-The Pina Colada Song

Cheesy? Yes. Summery and Irresistible? Hell Yes. So, get off your high horse and listen to it and go drink a Pina Colada .

3. Amy Winehouse-Rehab

Nobody should die that young and it's a great song and well, you wish she woulda gone until it stuck.

4. Beastie Boys-Make Some Noise

It's the Beastie Boys. Duh. And this song would make the Pope feel the need to get funky.

5. Wham-Freedom

Try not giggle when George Michael sings "Girl all I want right now is you". I don't think so. Unless he wants some bail money and a ride to his boyfriend's house.

6. Eric Clapton-I've got a Rock N Roll Heart

You've got to cleanse your palate with something and Hello?!? it's Clapton.

7.Rob Zombie-What

Prove you've got a rock n roll heart in the weirdest way possible.

8. Chris Isaak-Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing

Just hearing him say it once will convince you that you still have time to squeeze in a bad thing or two before it's all said and done.

9.Zac Brown Band-Free

Take a breather(preferably in a hammock or the like) and let the violins and Zac Brown's mellow vocals in this one get you ready for the next volley.

10. Pit Bull-Shake Senora

Yeah. He's a little dirty. But if you can hear "move that ___ like chitty chitty bang bang" and not shake your moneymaker, you're probably dead. Or my mother.

11. Jackyl-The Lumberjack

I know. Another blast from the past but I have one thing to say. Chainsaw baby. 'Nuff said.

12. Adele-Rumour Has It

Yes. I spelled it right. She's British, dummy. Also the best song off of one of the best albums of the year. You'll hand clap your way through all of those dressing rooms with the kids.

13. Enrique Iglesias-Dirty Dancer

I don't care how old you are. This song will make you realize two things. 1-anyone can be a dirty dancer if they listen to the right song and 2-yum.

14. LMFAO-Party Rock Anthem

If this one doesn't make you shake your groove thing until it falls off, well, you need to just take your toys and go home. Now.

15. Foo Fighters-Rope

Go out the ONLY way there is to go. Air guitar and yelling "Yeow" at the top of your lungs along with Dave Grohl. 

Now don't you feel better? All I can say now is, Rinse and Repeat.
