I feel like listing every song I listened to today at
work (except the Prince stuff, it will be here).
All my music on my computer is pretty old but I dig it. Why am I doing
this? Because I'm always looking for a distraction. And because I'm the
only who looks at this site on a regular basis. Also, it seems that when
I listen to the music I've downloaded I get in a horrible mood so I'm
hoping to figure out why. Guilt? Anyway, I have my music player set to
random because it's FUN.
- "Harper Valley PTA", Jeannie C Riley: My mom played
this over the phone. Spawned a movie AND a TV show. Plus it's just a
great song. I like songs that tell stories, and songs that start with
counting (except that U2 song, of course).
- "Sex Shooter", Apollonia 6: I want to start an all
girl cover band that dresses in lingerie and plays only songs by the
Prince proteges. I'll call it Pussy Control.
- "Brimful of Asha", Cornershop: Everybody needs a bosom
for a pillow, unfortunately I can't offer mine for the cause as they
hurt a little.
- "Planet Rock", Afrika Bambaata: I would listen to
music still if even half of it was this kickass.
- "Las Copetonas", Mariachi Cobre: I have no idea how
this song made it to my hard drive but f if I don't love Mariachi music.
Maybe why I loved El Mariachi and Desperado? Except I hated Once Upon
a Time in Mexico, which kills that theory. Antonio Banderas, he's too
sexy.
- Dukes of Hazzard theme Waylon Jennings: When my sister
finally moves her Playstation to my house I will play the Dukes of Hazzard
video game until my eyes fall out.
- Fiore Parfum, Kids in the Hall: Tonight, feel like
a BITCH
- "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground": White Stripes:
My mom digs Jack White but she's never heard a White Stripes song.
- "West End Girls" Pet Shop Boys: I used to know all
the words to this song which is funny, as I've never been a huge PSB
fan. In fact, I am not sure why it's on my playlist?
- "Wicked Game", Mr Bungle: I have nothing to say but
"love".
- "Modern Age", The Strokes: It must be nice to have
a rich daddy.
- "Flirtin With Disaster", Molly Hatchet: This is the
mother of all bowling songs along with "Hold On Loosely" by .38 Special.
Everyone seems to get mad, though, when I play "Red Right Hand" by Nick
Cave and the Bad Seeds at the Pla-Mor. Hey, if it wasn't on the jukebox,
I wouldn't play it. Bitches.
- "Casino Royale", Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass:
I really need to see this movie. It doesn't matter if it's crap, the
soundtrack is fantastic. I mean, "the Look of Love"? How can you resist?
- EPCOT International Gateway Music Loop: Sometimes
the only thing between me and a breakdown is a nice disney park music
loop. It's like an antidepressant, only without the brain chemistry
alteration.
- "The Road To Rhode Island" Family Guy: "Lois? Damn!"
- "Rock the Bells", LL Cool J: LL is a bit of a whore.
I learned that in his book.
- "No Diggity", Blackstreet: I like marionettes.
- "Hold On Loosely", .38 Special: Oh my gosh, you guys,
it's like I'm AT the bowling alley. Except there's no cheese stix. Or
beer. Or Ginger.
- "Girls Like Me", Bonnie Hayes: This song always reminds
me that I once saw Tommy Pickles's boobs.
- "Walk This Way", Aerosmith: This is my ringtone for
my mom. She loves the song, has no idea what the lyrics are.
- "Flamingo", Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass: If
I ever make a movie, this song will be in it. Quick, someone teach me
how to play trumpet!
- "Exciteable Boy", Warren Zevon: Someone told me that
my dog reminded her of this song so I downloaded it and listened to
it. Oh my gosh, my dog has NEVER raped and murdered anyone NOR has he
built a cage from her bones. To the best of my knowledge.
- "Where Eagles Dare", No Fun At All: It would seem
to be ironic remake day.
- "Man of Constant Sorrow", Soggy Bottom Boys: If I
had the time I would watch O Brother, Where Art Thou? every single day.
EVERY DAY.
- "Awnaw", Nappy Roots: I need to hang out with Stevo
more.
- "Walk Like An Egyptian", Bangles: One day I will tell
you all about how my friend Jessica and I used to dress up and lipsynch
to the songs on Different Light. Not today, though.
- "Where The Party At", Jagged Edge feat. Nelly: No,
I honestly don't remember if I was drunk when I downloaded this song.
It is catchy. Boy, I can't stand that Jermaine Dupri.
- "Move Your Feet", Junior Senior: Oh f do I love this
song. It'd be a guilty pleasure if I felt at all guilty about the crap
I listen to.
- "Island in the Sun", Weezer: The 70s were cool.
- "Flagpole Sitta", Harvey Danger: The first time I
heard this was when I went to Memphis to visit Laura. It's catchy as
a mern.
- "Here You Come Again", Dolly Parton: Wonder if she
ever got the reduction?
- "Different Drum", Me First and the Gimme Gimmes: A
band that made a living of off ironic covers. Mike Nesmith rocks. "Snowbird",
Anne Murray: When I was a kid we had a mix tape my parents recorded.
It had all kinds of good early 80s country. It got thrown out and I
miss it terribly. This was on it, by the way.
- "Waterloo", ABBA: Cheese makes everything better.
- "Let's Get It Up", Hayseed Dixie: Irony? HAH! I need
to see them live.
- "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", Dwight Yoakam: This
list is starting to degenerate into a big "hey remember that time?"
kind of thing.
- Star Wars Screen Tests, Saturday Night Live: Christopher
Walken should be in every movie.
- "The Bird", Morris Day and the Time: I'm thinking
it would be hilarious to purify myself in Lake Minnetonka next time
I am in Minneapolis. Also, it would be fun to visit the First Ave. club.
And also to go UPTOWN!
- Remain Seated sound clip from somewhere at Disneyland:
I will, Jack Wagner. Thank you for your concern.
- Unidentified music from some Disney park: Because
otherwise? I'd be bitchcakes
- "Freak Like Me", Adina Howard: I heard Dead Like Me
got cancelled! SUCK!
- "Now You're A Man", DVDA: i drove all the way to Atlanta
to see Orgazmo in the theatre. Ok, I'll stop.
- "Across the Universe", Fiona Apple: Now, normally
I am not a Fiona Apple fan, but I love this song so much and I really
like this version of it.
- "Walk, Don't Run", The Ventures: I think all jobs
should allow for a dance break twice a day.
- "Peaches and Cream", 112
- "Schwetty Weiner", Saturday Night Live: Not near as
funny as "Schwetty Balls", but an acceptable substitute.
- "Ironman", Sir Mix-A-Lot: It's ok if Mix-A-Lot samples
Ozzy but not when Trick Daddy does it.
- "Two Ladies", Cabaret soundtrack (the revival): Man,
I like Alan Cumming so much I even saw The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas.
- A short sound clip from Dinosaur, Animal Kingdom:
I love that they retooled this ride to make it less scary and it still
nearly scared the poo out of me.
- "808 (remix)", Blaque: Yet another reason for mandatory
dance breaks at work.
- "Hash Pipe", Weezer: I want to make out with Rivers
Cuomo so bad that to not do so might cause a chain reaction of catastrophic
events.
- "Sweet Young Thing", The Monkees: MMMMMMMike Nesmith.
- "Seven Nation Army", White Stripes: Third in a series
of songs performed by dudes I would totally make out with. Except Jack
White likes bony chicks, and I'm not down with that.
- "Girls and Boys", Blur: And another.
- "Love Is A Battlefield", Pat Benatar: Ok, string broken.
I don't really want to make out with Pat Benatar. "Feels So Good", Chuck
Mangione: I love it but if you ever hear me humming it? Walk away slowly...
- "Cookiepuss", Beastie Boys: My favorite song about
a Carvel cake.
- "20th Century Boy", T-Rex (I think): I need to listen
to more glam rock.
- "At Seventeen", Janis Ian: There was a time I couldn't
listen to this song without crying my eyes out.
- "There's Got to be a Morning After", Maureeen McGovern:
I was so hungover and in an airport (and later on a plane) when I saw
The Poseidon Adventure for the first time. I nearly needed those vomit
bags. When you've got an early flight and a sinus infection it might
be best not to drink two Abitas, two hand grenades, a tropical itch
and MAYBE another Abita but I'm not real clear on that one.
- "Don't Touch Me", Brak: Adult Swim is not the same
thing as Cartoon Planet no matter what you say.
- "Supernova", Liz Phair: Before she became an older
Hilary Duff
- More Cowbell, Saturday Night Live: Everything needs
more cowbell.
- "Cabaret", Liza Minelli: If having a voice this fantastic
means marrying gay men and a drug and alcohol problem then sign me up!
- "Christmas in Hollis", Run DMC: The best Christmas
song ever. EVER.
- "Holiday Road", Lindsey Buckingham: He spells his
name wrong.
- "Ah Leah", Donnie Iris: I have to admit, as much as
I love Roy Orbison I really don't like the song "Leah". This song is
cheese rock, but I dig it. I am not saying this is better than Roy Orbison,
so don't be hatin.
- "Bad Mamma Jamma", Foxy Brown & Dru Hill: Is Sisqo
still around or does he work the lingerie counter at a department store?
- "Take It Off", The Donnas: I liked them better when
they were still in high school but they can still rock.
- "Roller Girl", Anna Karina: If you've read this far,
je t'aime.
