Soda makers Mountain Dew have launched a web-only music site, Green Label Sound. The site is still in its infancy, but it already boasts a pretty good exclusive track by the Cool Kids, dubbed "Delivery Man." The song is available as a free download. The site also promises an exclusive song soon from indie duo Matt & Kim, as well as two more artists coming in the fall. We're not sure if this is some kind of promotion for an ad campaign or Mountain Dew's attempt to enter the blogosphere, but so far the tunes are better than Code Red.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
