Got a request for Christmas Island. Since they didn't specify which one, I chose this. Slightly different from the Ella tune
Rofflestomp

You said requests? I have one I was saving Dan. Not my cup of tea to ask requests, but Code Blue - Face To Face is on my personal I would play this if I was a DJ. Just sayin'
