I love throwing parties. I sure do!
Today is the day of the Big Solar Eclipse, and since I can't be at home, partying like a rockstar, then I'm just going to make do with where I am, and my resources here.
I brought in:
- Sunkist soda (regular and diet)
- Moon Pies (banana, but that I found them at all is fantastic)
- Little Debbie Star Crunch Snack Cakes
- Fun Size Milky Ways
- Sun Chips
- Eclipse Gum
Now, onto important matters. My hypothetical playlist for the Eclipse of the Century Party:
- Sunshine; Jonathan Edwards
- Blue Moon; The Marcels
- Moonlight (Feels Right); Starbuck
- Night and Day; Fred Astaire
- Moondance; Van Morrison
- All Night Long; Lionel Richie
- Celebrate; Kool and the Gang
- In the Year 2525; Zager and Evans
- Red Rubber Ball; The Cyrkle
- Dancing in the Moonlight; King Harvest
- It's the End of the World as We Know It: REM
- Total Eclipse of the Heart; Bonnie Tyler (I first remarked on this 2 weeks ago. Trendsetter!)
- Sunshine, Lollipops; Leslie Gore
- Hot, Hot, Hot; Buster Poindexter
- Afternoon Delight; Starland Vocal Band
- Blister in the Sun; Violet Femmes
- Ain't No Sunshine; Bill Withers
- Hot Fun in the Summertime; Sly and the Family Stone
- Blue Moon of Kentucky; Bill Monroe
- Doctor My Eyes; Jackson Browne
- Monday, Monday - The Mamas and the Papas
- So Long It's Been Good to Know Ya; The Weavers/Woody Guthrie
- Summertime, Summertime; The Jamies
- See You In September; The Happenings
- Hello, Goodbye; The Beatles (Here Comes the Sun was a little too spot-on)
- Love Shack; B-52s (this isn't part of the theme, it just never fails to get people out on the dance floor)
- Walking After Midnight; Patsy Cline
Feel free to add anything you think I'm missing. I know, I know Moonlight Sonata, Dark Side of the Moon. Dig deeper.

Better to rock with the B-52s and, hey, "Hallucinating Pluto" has the astronomical theme.
Save this playlist. It'll be good in almost five hundred years. Or less if you're inclined to travel.
