What songs do you want to hear for today's coffee break?

If you're lucky to be working only a three-day week this week (and our hearts go out to all those working on Thanksgiving and/or Black Friday), then admit it, you might not be planning to put in a whole lot of effort at your job over the next three days. So how about an "easy" coffee break? (Annette from St. Paul also backed us up on the idea of "easy").

So, for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, we're looking for songs that feature the word "easy" in the title or prominently in the lyrics.

Songs played

Frank Sinatra "Nice n' Easy"

Gotye "Easy Way Out"

Drive-By Truckers "Easy on Yourself"

The Commodores "Easy"

Ryan Adams and the Cardinals "Easy Plateau"

Linda Ronstadt "It's so Easy"
