Happy Barry White Day

Happy Valentine's Day, folks.

Rather than indulge in yet another online mash note to Mrs. Chase, I thought I'd toss out a question for you to chew on: What romance/love/down 'n' dirty song(s) would be on your fantasy mix CD?

If I had to limit it to 10, here would be my picks, in no particular order:

The Cure, "Close to Me"
Marvin Gaye, "Let's Get It On"
Terence Trent D'Arby, "Wet Your Lips"
Eels, "Fresh Feeling"
Frank Sinatra, "Fly Me to the Moon"
Robbie Robertson, "Somewhere Down that Crazy River"
U2, "Lemon"
Semisonic, "Secret Smile"
The Beatles, "Here, There and Everywhere"
Van Morrison, "Moondance"

The Dallas Morning News is among the newspapers today offering its nifty take on the best-of mood music.
