"Just One Breath" - Mulberry Lane

As 'Edgy' as I get (sorry, it's not very)
"Somebody Help Me" - Full Blown Rose
"That's Not Me" - Bianca Ryan

"I Can't Decide" - Scissor Sisters
"I Look Up When I Walk" - Kyu Sakamoto (Ok, a bit of a joke, but I do love it...)
Spider-Man - Michael Buble (Always makes me laugh.  I prefer the Junkie XL remix, but I don't think the quality is as good.)
"I Got Me Some Friends" - Susan Greenbaum (Live recording of an independent artist. I love this song and "Looks Good".  You can download professional clips from her website, or listen to a bit of this song on CDBaby.)

...and I need to stop. Please be warned, these videos are mostly crap. I just tried to find good quality versions of the songs.

Woooow, you just brought up some memories, LOL! I remember listening to "Sunny Came Home" when I was a teenager and I had completely forgotten about it.

Fun times. :D I still know the words, hahaha (as I belt them out and my kids don't even look at me oddly 'cause they're used to it). ;)

I hope you find some more stuff to enjoy in that list!
