I'm putting together a playlist of songs that just make you feel completely cool. I'm referring to it as my "Dark Sunglasses" playlist, inspired by the Beastie Boys' song "Off the Grid" (which I first heard about here). Song just made me feel like I should be walking around in slow motion with dark sunglasses and a thin tie. Looking for other Songs/Artists/Albums that would make good additions.
Things I've already thought of include things like:
Most anything by Booker T and the MG's, especially "Green Onions" and "Time is Tight"
Beck "Where It's At"
Gorillaz "Clint Eastwood"
Herbie Hancock "Cantaloupe"
So what songs would you include that just make you feel like they should be played while you walk in slow motion entering a crowded room?

Believe it or not, if you can get past the bullE36 M3 meaning, Lil' Waynes' Lollipop has a helluva down beat to it.... I don't even hear the words when I listen to it.
Gino Vanelli "Black Cars" ?
If you are going with Herbie Hancock "Cantaloupe" , do you want the 1993 remake by US3 titled Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)

The bridge on ZZTop's Cheap Sunglasses makes me bob my head every time.

Oh yes. There is definitely some Cake in there.
As for "Cantaloupe"... I'll probably stick in both versions. The original is just more head-bobbing cool. The US3 is more dance-y.
almost anything from Link Wray

Awww yeah!
Totally the feeling I'm going for. Like, near the beginning of Reservoir dogs where they're all just walking down the street in slow motion.
Something that could be played in the background then. Totally.
