The allure of shuffle mode LXXXV

Apparently, iTunes was in a dancing mood this morning.  Sam Cooke's "Twistin' The Night Away" kicked off a shuffle mode session, followed by "What Now My Love" by Richard "Groove" Holmes.  I'd never played those songs back to back before, but hearing them that way made me realize how rhythmically compatible they are.  I also noticed how the central hook of "What Now..." sounds like it's about to mimic "They Can't Take That Away From Me" on the organ before it juts off.

It's difficult to be sour when you hear two full-of-life songs consecutively.
