Lionel Richie's new song-don't remember the title
Lionel is billed on the Sirius display as "Nicole Richie's Dad!"
*grabs gun and heads for Sirius headquarters*
The Chordettes-Lollipop
This is my first time really listening to the lyrics. After the mention
of "huckleberry, cherry or lime", I suddenly have the urge to raid my
Lifesavers stash for some juicy red goodness.
The Drifters- There Goes My Baby
Does anyone realize how wonderfully smooth Ben E King's voice really
is? He's seriously up there with Otis Redding in my book.
The Platters- Only You
Classic makeout song from 1955. I totally want to grab the next person
that walks by and plant one on them. Maybe not. I don't want a sexual
harassment case brought against me. Can you imagine? I'd blame the
Platters for my actions. It would go down in history like those cases
brought against Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne. While I was listening to
this song, I looked up the group's bio and read that their manager's name
was Buck Ram. If that doesn't sound like a porn star name, I don't know
what does.
Wu-Tang Clan- C.R.E.A.M.
Cash Rules Everything Around Me. Indeed.
Ice Cube/DAS EFX- Check Yo Self
Ha. I just wrote Ice Cub by accident. That'd be like the kid's cartoon
version of Cube. He'd be a gangster polar bear. OK that was just
terrible. Pretend you didn't read that.
Harry Chapin - Taxi
This song reminds me of my childhood, sitting in the backseat of our
red Toyota Celica on long road trips. Man this song is a downer. Even as
a kid I knew this song was depressing. Between this song and "Cats in
the Cradle" playing constantly during my impressionable years, Chapin
probably contributed to my jaded outlook on life now. Thanks for that
Harry. Thanks for pointing out how much life can suck to a 6 year old.
Take your 30,000 tons of bananas and go home.
Pussycat Dolls- Loosen Up My Buttons
This act sings the anthems of Spring Break Whores everywhere. What does
that say about me that I like this song? Do I have an internal Spring
Break Whore waiting to break out?! I think I just scared myself.
Christina Aguilera- Ain't No Other Man
I was a hater for many years. Almost 7 now. But somewhere along the way
I decided to cave in and admit that I like her. I still don't like the previous
incarnation "XTina" though. Anyhow, the arrangement for this is great. I just
said that to sound musically intelligent.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Gold Lion
This song has such a hot swagger to it, it makes me want to quit my job
and be a rock star. But for now, the only audience I'm comfortable
performing in front of are my two dogs. And frankly, I think they feel
completely awkward with the situation.
Papa Roach - To Be Loved
*sigh* Sooo catchy and sooo hot. I'm going to jump all of them when
they play this in concert. For real. And they'll like it.
