Song of the Day: "'It Keeps You Runnin'" by Carly Simon

Carly Simon mixed things up after releasing her first "Best of" album, enlisting Ted Templeman to produce "Another Passenger," and releasing a sweet cover -- the Doobie Brothers' "It Keeps You Runnin'" -- as the first single. It didn't pay off -- the song stalled at No. 46 after a string of Top 20 hits -- but it did pave the way for her collaborate two years later with Michael McDonald on "You Belong to Me," which reached No. 6 on the charts (her last Top 10) and ranks as one of her finest singles to date. ("Libby" is the other finest moment of "Another Passenger." btw.)

Song of the Day: "I Keep Forgettin'" by Michael McDonald

I'm not proud of it, but a colleague of mine launched into this -- after another worked "Takin' It to the Streets" into the conversation when she saw I was editing a story about antigovernment protests in Venezuela (talk about an apostrophe fetish!) -- and we had to admit that Michael McDonald is a guilty pleasure for all of us. ("On My Own" with Patti is da bomb, as is "Long Train Running"!) What's YOUR guiltiest pleasure?
