Added a favorite "Jump" song but removed it as, spoiler, we'll hear it from Tahlvin in due time.
Want to tailor a song for the youth? Make it about something they can relate to.
Both these Jump songs were huge, because we could relate, we like to jump!

Ah yes... Jack Be Nimble. My favorite classic pop song about jumping.

I'm partial to Hey Diddle Diddle, that cow's jump more impressive than jumping over a tiny flame.

Curse you, Pete! When will I learn that I can't compete with you on anything music related?

This one is special for me. When our oldest was born, to get them to sleep we would sometimes take them for a drive in the car. We'd play the 80's radio station and this song seemed to be on regular rotation, so this is one of the songs I remember singer to them to get them to sleep.

Yes, still on 1984. The following is #24. Trying to decide if I'm going to do the top 30 or 35 for that year, since there are some good ones.

My brother-in-law's name is Matthew Wilder. Different person, but same name...
Yes. That's what he was arrested for a year ago... He banged her with a chair. A dispute over some money he hadn't paid her. Wow.
Still like the song.

Classic pop/r&b/country triple crossover. A rarity, like early Elvis or Old Town Road 10/10

Is it a Journey song? Then it's a cheesy song. Still love 'em!

Darn, I missed one. That’s what I get for doing this on my iPad instead of my laptop. Elton was #33, Madonna was #35, and this should have been in between.
