By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 2nd 2010 12:15PM

When PopEater's staff of music fanatics heard about Dane Cook's new greatest hits album, 'I Did My Best: Greatest Hits,' we started wondering what the comedian's picks for musical greatest hits were -- and he delivered. While the album features 10 minutes of new Cook humor in addition to the best of his previously released material, we challenged the funny guy to choose a 15-track playlist for a quirky selection of life's activities: polishing a platinum comedy album, road tripping, shower singing, making out, dying ... and more.

After you've had a laugh at what he had to say about each song and you've checked out his new release, enter to win a Seagate hard drive loaded with Cook's entire catalog of five comedy albums. To enter, follow @PopEater and retweet our announcement of the giveaway by Dec. 15. A winner will be chosen at random at the end of the contest. Read the official rules here.
