possibly the greatest theme party mix of all time

I couldn't sleep tonight so I got back out of bed and decided to do a little work on the ol' blog. So, here I am and a rerun of Alias was on while I was flipping through all of our six channels and it made me realize: this used to be a great show. It's an early episode from season 2, when the mom showed up and SD6 was still around, and dang, it's good. They should have stopped after season 3 and moved on. Like I did.
We had Ella's birthday party tonight. What a blast. A bunch of babies were crawling around and we had some great cake and girly party food. Both my and Alison's parents came to town, as did my brother and his wife. We had a great time with our family and our friends, and Ella had on the cutest little polka dot dress. This having a little kid thing just keeps getting better and better. AND I got to make a great mix CD of songs with the word "One" in the title. Here was my stunningly amazing themed party soundtrack...
ONE - U2
you're the ONE I want - Grease
holy ONE - Caedmon's (why not?)
the lucky ONE - Alison Krauss
ONE way or another - Blondie
2 become ONE - Spice Girls
ONE more night - Phil Collins
still the ONE - Shania Twain
The ONE I Love - R.E.M.
ONE love - Bob Marley
all for ONE, all for love - Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting
this ONE's for the girls - Martina McBride
ONE is the loneliest number - Aimee Mann
Feel free to use this for your one-year old's party and if you have any other songs you think I should have added, leave it as a comment. And I took off the Metallica song cause it just seemed a bit too, um, Metallica, for a baby's party, so don't worry about that one...
She's getting baptized in the morning at church and I'm excited. I'll let you know how it went tomorrow. Sleep well.

you forgot ONE by creed. come on dude.. i know Scott Stapp is your favorite.
ONE is the Loneliest Number should be by Three Dog Night.
And I'd add Your Are My Only ONE by James Taylor.
Ooh! Ooh! I forgot the old McDonald's jingle (the one written by Barry Manilow): "You, you're the one / You are the only reason..."
Hello AO,
A quick scan of my itunes uncovered some real gems. Not all party-type songs, mind you, but dandies just the same. Here's a stab at any next 1st birthday mix tape songs you might need. Cheers!

You are so right. From the post-Super Bowl episode on, Alias went downhill fast. My dad and I watched the entire first season straight through one day on ABC Family just before the second season started. We never missed an episode after that until that fateful Super Bowl episode.
