January 5, 2015: Skanky Panky

No, it's not the name of a game or a dance. Skanky Panky is a fun track from Canadian DJ Kid Koala (Wikipedia entry) and my very first introduction to the song was on a compilation album, Revive the Soul. The CD classifies the song as "lounge," or maybe "downtempo," or even "nu jazz," but I'm going to list it under the "really fun to listen to" category. Seriously, give Skanky Panky a shot . . . and then visit the official Kid Koala website for more great music.
