I think the theme here is pretty obvious. Although, after I made it, I thought of a ton more songs I could put on it. I guess I'll have to make a second volume someday.

Nice selection. Similar feel to my 'eyes in wonder' mix.

Nice mix. You could always use "We're a Happy Family" by the Ramones (the whole "gabba gabba hey" bit was inspired by the movie Freaks) on volume 2.
