Sweet Music for the New Biz

I’ve decided that I need a music playlist for the hours, days and months I’ll be pouring into my new business and to double as fun background music for events I’m at. (My booth will be rocking!)What I’m looking for are songs that have the words “sugar” or “sweet” in them (honey won’t cut it, but other words might), preferably as a key part of the song or as the chorus. It has to be listen-able, which doesn’t mean much, except that I get to veto anything that I can’t stand.I need your help!

Here’s what I’ve got so far–a huge thank you to Kris Sperry, Shasta Sperry, Krista Jones, Renee Hopkins, Kris Maxwell, Ann Sumner, Kris Breton, Amber and Mason Ward, and Paul Bartel! (What is up with Krises and Kristas being so music-inclined?? Awesome!)
