Why, the Time Warp, of course!

I wish I could answer with "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" -- actually, that's not quite right.  I think I do know all the words to that song, I just can't quite get them all out in time, so the end result is the (fairly standard, if the people I know are any kind of sample set) "mumble mumble mumble BIRTHDAY PARTY ( Read more... )

I entered high school in 1993, and I went to a brand-new high school, so it didn't make sense to have Homecoming events that first year.  However, my boyfriend at the time, Greg, went to a different school, and so our group of friends went to the Homecoming dance at his school.  Greg refused to dance to anything except the slow songs--during the ( Read more... )

1999 was the year Lit released their big album, A Place in the Sun, and it was also the last time I went home from college for the summer, between my sophomore and junior years.  As a result, the whole album--but especially the big single, "My Own Worst Enemy"--reminds me of summer in SoCal.

It's fairly safe to say that just about every song reminds me of someone, even if it's just the artist who sings it, so the possibilities are nearly endless here.  However, I thought of something that might make aevs  smile, and I think she could use some extra smiles.

A dear friend of mine from college was a man named Seth, a nearly-bald-by-his-early- ( Read more... )

It almost feels like cheating to use a song from a musical, but it was the best thing I could come up with (the alternatives that came to mind were largely in the category of "songs I can't listen to because I find them kinda triggering," a la Ani DiFranco's "Gratitude"): "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" from RENT.  I couldn't find a video with good ( Read more... )

Lots of possibilities here (as usual, it's becoming clear!), but today I have to go with Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al."  Love, love, love the horns; love, love, love that bass lick!

I could take this in a variety of directions, but the place my brain decided to settle was Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You."

Now, perhaps there are some of you out there who now believe I have no soul, but hear me out.

I had three jobs over the summer of 2006, and one of them was waiting tables at this great pizza place.  One of the few ( Read more... )

Aack, they started with a hard one!  Or one that I'm prone to spend way too much time thinking about, at any rate.  I tend to go through phases where I listen to the same song over and over, and the song that would qualify as my #1 favorite/most listened to song varies week by week.  Two standbys that immediately come to mind, though, are Dar ( Read more... )

I decided to hold off on beginning the 30 Days of Music meme I'm yoinking from strangemodegirl  until September began, just because I liked the idea of starting it with a new month.  I'm also yoinking her idea of posting YouTube videos with each song.  :D  I'll get started officially in a little while; for now, here's the list:
