Looking for suggestions for a "shopping" themed compilation

My wife and daughter are taking a road trip to Mall of America, and I've been asked to put together a cd full of shopping themed songs.

Looking for suggestions, obscure or otherwise (preferably no rap or metal).

some I have so far.......

It may be hard to find but "Go Shopping -> More Shopping" by Bran Van 3000. It's on their 2001 album Discosis...never released in the US because they were signed to Grand Royal (the Beastie Boys' label), which went under right before the disc came out). It was pretty popular in Canada though.

You beat me to it.




Fountains of Wayne's second album, Utopia Parkway, has a song that would be perfect: "The Valley of Malls." It's about driving and shopping.

There's a song called "King of the Food Court" by the group King Radio, the album is called 'Mr. K Is Dead, Go Home'.
