I'm pretty sure "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen and both "Stray Cat Strut" and "Rock This Town" by The Stray Cats were on there, too. They may have gotten lost in the transition from 90 minute cassette to 80 minute CD — or maybe they were part of a "Next Perfect Mix" I was working on... «Shrug»

* Interesting footnote: I named it my "Near Perfect" mix because the cassette tape(!) on which it was recorded actually ran out just before the very last note of the very last song!
