stolen from melissa because i'm bored.
no work and no all-sing make angela a very bored girl.
so, here's my musical autobiography. it's stupid and kind of long.
aerosmith - sweet emotions
my mom tells me this was my first favorite song. when i was really little, i used to run around the house singing the chorus over and over again.
shakin' stevens - green door
when i was little, my sister and i used to go over to mema's house and she would put on old records and this was my favorite song. she'd be silly and get on the couches with us and dance around. she taught us how to do the peppermint twist, the mashed potato, and other various food-related dances.
rolling stones - angie
it's a sad song, i know, but my mom used to sing it to me when i was sad. she'd always try to sound exactly like mick jagger to make me laugh. my favorite part was when she'd sing " oh, angie don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet." because she'd make this painful face. man, it was so funny.
judy garland - over the rainbow
my all-time favorite movie as a child was the wizard of oz. if anyone ever wanted me out of their hair, all they had to do was put this movie on. for some reason, everytime she'd sing "someday i'll wish upon a star..." i'd start singing "twinkle, twinkle, little star..." i loved this movie even though the wicked witch scared the bananas out of me.
the bangles - walk like an egyptian
my sister and i LOVED this song. we went nuts for it. we made up our own dance routine and performed it for our family. don't think we didn't have our arms COVERED in stupid, plastic bangles. anytime i hear this song, i think of us in our room practicing.
alanis morissette - forgiven
the first line of this song said it all. "you know how us catholic girls can be." i can remember going to confession and wondering why i was there. i didn't want to be there, but my mom made me. i was only 10 or 11 when her album came out, but i remember hearing this song and thinking, "YES, YES, YES." god, now, it's like an anthem.
the beatles - in my life/across the universe
i've never been able to decide which is my favorite beatles' song. i remember waking up at odd hours of the night because i could hear music coming from my dad's headphones in the living room. it was ALWAYS the beatles. my dad used to tell me that these songs made him feel infinite. i didn't understand what he meant then. i get it now. plus, these songs mean more and more to me as time passes.
jeff buckley - the entire grace album
the first time i heard this album all the way through, i was in tears. it was one of those albums that i could never really explain to anyone. i'm pretty sure jeff buckley got me through high school.
oasis - champagne supernova
seriously, where were you? ha.
dmb - crash into me
"hike up your skirt a little more, show your world to me." i was too young and naive to even begin to know what the song was really talking about, but this song makes me think of dancing outside of the auditorium at night with everyone in drama. after rehearsals, someone would inevitable pull their car around and throw in this cd. we were so special.
tracy chapman - fast car
when i first started driving, i somehow managed to always find a radio station playing this song. i remember driving at night and the street lights were a blur passing me by, and i really felt like i could fly. everytime i heard this song, i knew that i had to get out of here.
john mayer - no such thing
if you ever wondered where my username came from, this is it. i was a huge fan before anyone really knew who he was... god, that's been more than 5 years now. boo, i'm old. this song always put me in a good mood and hey, sometimes, i just feel invincible.
bon jovi - livin' on a prayer
this is completely for amber. this goes way back to high school. i don't remember how it started, but anytime we'd mention something about being almost done, or nearly complete... ANYTHING, she'd bust out with "oh, halfway there, OOOOOH, livin' on a prayer." i can't hear this song and not think of her.
eric clapton - wonderful tonight
makes me think of him. every time.
peanut butter jelly song
if ever a song made me laugh or think of being ridiculously goofy with good friends, this is it. this song completed my college experience.
so, here's my musical autobiography. it's stupid and kind of long.
