For Track 2, I've chosen "Boom! Shake the Room" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. The story as to why I have chosen this track can be seen after the link below - you can read it whilst you listen to this 90's classic.
Pump it up Prince!

So the reason for this tune is continuing the theme from Track 1 relating to family. This is a track that was playing when my son was born. Unfortunately, it wasn't the first track (how cool would that have been?!), it was the second (Liam Gallacher - Universal Gleam was first and will no doubt feature at some point), but it seems so totally appropriate to accompany a fresh, screaming baby into the world with lyrics that start;
Yo back up now and give a brother room
The fuse is lit and I'm about to go boom!
Along with...
Work the body, work work the body
Just as amusingly, my son was 2 weeks late and really didn't want to come out...
Well yo are y'all ready for me yet
We most certainly were!! Although having said that, you're never ready for your first born!!
This track also brings back memories of my early teens since I also owned it on cassette, in the "Smash hits '93" album. Unfortunately, I got rid of all of my cassettes some time ago but was fortunate enough to find it 2nd hand on CD so can reminisce when I please.
The full lyrics are available here - in French if you wish.
