Oh right. A subject. Boo's challenge met!
A week ago, badjujuboo made a post in which she challenged her peeps to come up with their favorite ten songs. I just finished my list and here it is. It is not profound or classy or impressive or really anything but silly (like me!).

One of my happy-happy songs! One of those dance-til-you-fall-over songs.

Birdhouse is one of my favourites ever ever ever and omfg Laid by James!! And Livin On A Prayer, of course, oh my god, I want to put so many of these on my list. Just when I thought I'd started narrowing it down!
Good to see someone else still smarts about the end of The Sopranos (and that someone else associates that song with The Sopranos and not Glee haha).

I'll admit I do own the Glee version of Don't Stop Believin', but only because I really love the song. I never got into the show.
And yeah... my husband had all the boxed sets of the Sopranos DVDs, and after that episode aired, he dumped the DVDs in with mine and hasn't looked at them again. He won't even acknowledge the show existed. It's like it never was. LOL. I still love it, though, even with that ending. Goddamn David Chase.

Ahaha oh totally, I didn't mean that to sound like boooo Glee. I never got into it either, I just spaz out when I hear it on the telly, and it's inevitably an ad for Glee instead of The Sopranos. It confuses my poor wee brain.
HA. That's classic. I have had some of the nerdiest conversations of my life about the ending of The Sopranos and the possible implications of who the camera pans to on which line of the song (some will win - Carmella, some will lose - Tony, some were born to sing the blues - AJ, if I remember rightly), what it might mean the Meadow's eyes seem to widen slightly as she comes in, what the number of people who pass their table into the toilets might mean. JEEZ, this wouldn't need to happen if Chase had just GIVEN US A DAMN ENDING. *sulks in the corner* Still totally not over it, in case you hadn't guessed ;)

Yeah, the whole thing would have been forgivable, I think, the non-ending, if they hadn't filmed it with such obvious INTENT and MEANING, like you described. All the camera cuts, the bloody choreography, Meadow and the car, the whole thing. We were both on the edge of our seats, all stressed out and waiting to see what would happen as the music played, and then NOTHING. LITERALLY NOTHING. I get (I guess) that Chase was going for some sort of "life goes on" sort of thing, but THAT was REALLY the best way to do it?? REALLY?! GRRRRR.
And yeah, I have a feeling this might be one of those things from which you never recover! LOL.
