Week 22:: Easy Listening

Sometimes, you just want to enjoy the sound of music, and while that seems ridiculously simplistic, it is nonetheless equally true and just as often overlooked.  There is much to be said for music that makes you think, inspires creativity, and touches upon the hem of brilliance.  Still, there's something to be said for fluffy pop music as well.  

This week, we search for a happy medium, compositions and performances you can hum (or at least snap) along with, but retain that healthy, wholesome, goodness.

I ask for funk and you give me 'easy'?

I take it back, you're no Spike Spiegel, you're Ein.

Indeed, I am a genetically-engineered super genius. I just don't look (much) like a Corgi.
