7. Hy-Five: Songs For Walking Into A Room

Everybody likes to make a grand entrance, whether it's a planned event or just a spontaneous occurance. Most of us don't have many opportunities for the former, but we all have chances to pretend to be super-cool when walking into a room of friends and acquaintances. The music playing is a crucial element to the coolness projected by you, and can make or break your entrance.

The following is a list of five songs that will propel you from "oh" to "OHHH!!!" The beats are funky but not spastic, and the tempos are perfect, ensuring even the squares won't be able to resist feeling them. If this can be properly timed, prepare to dazzle. If you hear one of these songs playing in another room, immediately head for the doorway. Or, just play these while you're walking with your Ipod and strut away. You know you're bad.
