The iTen Commandmentunes

Ten tunes to live your life by, courtesy of my iPod.
  1. Don't give up the fight
  2. Don't mug yourself
  3. Don't smoke in bed
  4. Don't rain on my parade
  5. Don't look back in anger
  6. Don't bring me down
  7. Don't change your plans
  8. Don't ask me why
  9. Don't let's start
  10. Don't cry for me, Argentina
Wise words, I think you'll agree.

Not the definitive list though, it needs your suggestions from your collections! :-)

Blogger Pete Johns  Wise words, but all far too negative for the 21st Century!
