Your One Stop Shop For Bad Grammer!
I stole this one from Zoot, from whom I seem to be getting all of my good ideas lately. The Key Of Me Pick A Song That... Reminds you of your youth... “I Saw The Sign” ~ Ace of Base Yeah, I know I’m not the only one. Play this song (or “All The She Wants” or “Don’t Turn Around”) and every single person in my age range who is within hearing distance will totally start lipsynching. I loved this song though, I had a whole dance routine worked out to it. My friends and I practiced every day on the field. Shut up. We were way cool. Gives you the chills... “Hallelujah” ~ Rufus Wainwright Heard this for the first time my freshman year of college and was instantly hooked. I could not stop listening. It got to the point where my long suffering roommate had to ask me to just shut it off already. It’s just ... that voice, the lyrics ... shiver “Remember when I moved in you? Makes you want to bang your head... “Nobody’s Listening” ~ Linkin Park This is about as close as I ever get to head banging and I can’t even do it right. I’m like half way between the white-boy-head-bob (TM) and a demented chicken. I’m definitely better at the booty dancing. Love the song though. Is this even a head banging song? I don’t know anything about music. Sheesh. You wish you knew the lyrics to... “One Week” ~ Barenaked Ladies “Canna maka breaka likea stinkan naka cashkink achin... Wait, damn.... vanilla it’s the finest of the flavors“ No matter how often I look these lyrics up on line I never get them right. Steven Page has my infinite admiration. Makes you so upset you turn it off... “Brick” ~ Ben Folds Five I alternately get obsessed with this song and need to listen to it over and over or am so upset by it that I have to turn it off. It reminds me very much of a really hard situation I went through a while back. Even when I do like to listen to it it’s kind of a schaden-own-freude thing. Joy in my own pain. Was/is 'your song' with someone else... “Iris” ~ Goo Goo Dolls Well, not officially, but it was the one I had the hardest time with after the break-up. Funny how something like that can ruin a song, isn’t it? Now all I hear are the sad lyrics. “And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Makes you want to dance... “Thong Song” ~ Cisco Ok, there’s a lot of songs that would fit this category (“Rock Your Body,” I’m looking at you) but I picked the most embarrassing and dated one for your personal amusement. I love this song. Way, way after everyone was over it and complaining that it was “like, so overplayed” I would turn it up, shout for silence in the car, and butt shimmy my way down the highway. Helps you heal after a breakup... “How’s It Going To Be” ~ Third Eye Blind “Like this,” *sob* “Oh god, it’s going to be like this!” Surprisingly therapeutic when administered with ice cream. Your parents made you listen to... “One Fine Day” ~ Carol King I wouldn’t say “made“ because I like it too. In fact I like it so much that mom and I do the duet thing. My mom is a cool woman, she lets me take the melody while she harmonizes. We rock the car with this one. We are totally the next Judds. Ignites a specific memory... “Complicated” ~ Avril Lavigne I know, I know, she’s a poseur. This song though, the first time I ever heard it was on my drive home from college for the summer after my freshman year. It was sunny, I was happy, I was careening along the 5, and totally free. Then I got caught in traffic, four hours of standstill traffic. But I was still happy. It was an adventure. A peeing-in-a-strange-camper adventure, but an adventure none-the-less. That summer turned out to be one of the best (if not the best) times of my life, and that song is inextricably bound up in it. Sue me. You've dedicated to someone... “Whip It” ~ Devo This one is, and always shall be, dedicated to my BFF (squee!) Liza and her socks, for reasons that are better left unexplained. You identify with... “Landslide” ~ Dixie Chicks I don’t know why exactly, except that it was the first song that came to mind when I saw this question and I couldn’t think of anything that fit better. So a song about a mid-life crisis (or something) fits me pretty well, I’m not worried. The lyrics speak for themselves. “Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? 9:57 a.m. April 30, 2004
