If you have an mp3 player with a standard audio jack, a car with a radio, and a cigarette lighter adapter, you can make a commuter playlist. I can hook you up with the missing pieces.

Oh I know I could. I'm just too lazy to figure out all of the tracks...because I'm also a bit nitpicky about things like making the playlist match the average length of my commute and then having a secondary playlist I could tap into if traffic sucked worse than usual and I needed more run time. So much effort for something just to make me giggle...

If it's just muzak to make you laugh, I could gather up all the funny, punny stuff I've collected over the years and make and mail you a disc that you could load up...

Fair warning, no beverages during commute, because they will be abused.

Well the commute playlist would make me giggle simply because I'd make it ridiculously epic...like Ride of the Valkyries when I'm leaving my neighborhood...and Also Sprach Zarathustra for when I'm pulling into the parking garage at work...that kind of epic is just absurdly amusing to me when it's applied as the soundtrack for a morning commute to a relatively boring desk job.

ROFLMAO

Oh dear God, Miss Julie, I thought I was the only one that made playlists so warped for mundane tasks.

My commute when I worked for a large insurance company started with "In the Hall of the Mountain King". I was there just as the last note faded.

My long road trip playlist begins with Boots Randolph's, "Yakety Sax" and ends with Queen's "I Want it All".

My son has made me some ridiculous playlists for cleaning that has some of the worst earworms...
Next time I'm in the Dallas area, I must have a "Girl's day out"(though my son has to tag along...though you know, he'll just flirt with you the whole time telling me to look the other way...) with you. It'll be ridiculously fun.

Yes please! And I'd insist on meeting him anyhow, so by all means bring him along.

Epic, eh? then might I suggest tossing in A Fistful of Nickels? The album it's from (download link in the description) is free and has a wide variety of music on it ranging from epic western to electro-funk. OverClocked ReMix doesn't really classify stuff by genre (just by game, artist, and album), so it's a bit of a hunt.

For a more orchestral epic, the StarCraft II has some pretty epic stuff. 'Wings of Liberty' soundtrack, 'Heart of the Swarm' soundtrack. I also recommend watching the cinematics for both. (Seriously, Blizzard, why not just animate the missions and release these as movies?)

You can also try something such as washing dishes or sorting laundry to the fourth section of Dvorak's 9th Symphony. You have to do it with absurdly grandiloquent dramatic motions, however, for it to be proper.

Yesterday we did that to Queen's "Princes of the Universe" complete with epic chopstick sword fighting.
Last time I attempted laundry, he played "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", and left a broom and bucket nearby.
