Mix Tape: Put On Your Sunglasses
For a while there, I loved asking people what would be the opening song for their life movie. When I first heard Brenton Wood’s “Oogum Boogum,” it was one of the first sunny days of spring, and I was walking in my neighborhood in sunglasses and a cute outfit. It was the perfect opening credits song: jaunty, full of sass, and utterly irresistible. (Plus, it includes the lyric, “Go on now with your bad self.”) And so I pass it on as the opening of this very sunny, let’s-jump-in-the-car-and-get-out-of-here mix. May you walk in the sunshine, in a good outfit, your hair looking lovely. Happy weekend! What are you most looking forward to?
