{January 8, 2012} (Repost)Who ordered a Rainy Day, Straight no Chaser?

This is a repost of a post I did around the beginning of last year on a day a lot like today.

It’s been one of those gloomy, rainy days today…the kind where if you have to get out and go somewhere, you drag yourself everywhere wishing you could just curl up in bed with a good book or just sleep in all day. Luckily, since I didn’t HAVE to be anywhere today, I got to sleep in and those are the best rainy days for me. For the people that DID have to go anywhere today, yuck, I feel for you cause looking out the window today, it has been dark and miserable looking for errand running and/or job working.

I have to confess that I don’t have anything big or important to talk about today, but that’s ok because even pro bloggers struggle to come with up truly intriguing, interesting blogs day after day after day. So today is just a blog about the rainy day outside with a little treat added.

On this skating special on TV today, I had the pleasure of hearing this acapello group called, “Straight no Chaser” and they are awesome and I think EVERYONE should at least give them at least one listen. If they are not for you, that’s fine, but at least you had a new experience, right?

Here’s a video of them doing a medley of “I’m yours” by Jason Mraz and the classic “Somewhere over the Rainbow”…which is very fitting for today because you can’t have a rainbow without a rainy day….like we have today.

{October 30, 2011} Halloween Jams

I just thought I would share some great Halloween tunes to get you in the Halloween spirit tomorrow. Some of these are spooky and ooky and others will just make you laugh! Enjoy!

1) Monster Mash-Can you have Halloween without this song? Seriously? An oldie but goodie!

2)Thriller by Michael Jackson-Another obvious song to pick! Great song and creepy video, I remember watching this as a little girl and being entranced by it! This is a super long music video, by the way, at over 13 minutes….they don’t make many videos like THIS anymore! If you have never seen this video, you really MUST watch it at least once!

3.)House of 1000 Corpses Theme Song-Creepy music here!

4.)Ghostbusters Theme Song-This is a fun and kid safe song!

5.)Walking Zero by Sneaker Pimps-This is a song by a band from way back in 1997…I admit to being a fan of their music and sound and I still love the album this song came off of…While I’m not sure if it can rightfully be called a creepy song, the mood is somber throughout but a very “catching” beat…and I have yet to figure out why there is “blood on my shoes”

6.)Tubular Bells by Robert Miles…Better known as the Exorcist Theme Song-One of the MOST creepiest movies ever, in my opinion AND one of my favorite horror movies

7.)The Howling by Within Temptation-One of my favorite bands of all time…I was going to put this anyways but apparently there’s a newer version of the video that works for this even more, so yay! I dare you to check this out!

8.)Calling all the monsters by China Anne McClain-Ok, I admit here and now I still watch Disney shows AND I’m not a parent so make fun of me all you want! For those with kids that love Disney, you may or may not have heard this song from the star of the Disney Show A.N.T. Farm….This is a family friendly, fun Halloween song

9.)Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie-Cool black and white movie effects in the video with a zombie girl, what’s more Halloween than that? And actually, 95% of his songs could probably fit in the Halloween, spooky category

10.)”This is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas

11.No one Lives Forever by Oingo Boingo-The video with this has Disney Halloween scenes

And that’s all, folks! I know there are other more popular and well known ones I could have picked, but I tried to pick some lesser known songs. Hope this put you in a Halloween spirit!

{September 13, 2011} 10 Songs I Love

I’m doing something a little different today. Here are 10 songs that I love that I wanted to share with you. Not THE favorites of all time, just simply 10 random songs I love. Hope you enjoy!

There’s an instrumental part at the beginning you have to wait through, but it’s worth it. Jem has a beautiful voice and this song has such inspiring lyrics.

1) Down to Earth by Jem

This next one is another very inspirational song for me and many others. A huge anthem against bullying.

2) Hero by Superchick

A song from one of my favorite bands. I love how haunting their music is. At first glimpse, it’s possible for one to get the wrong impression of what kind of band they are….but once you listen, you’ll see it’s really NOT about the cover.

3)Goodnight by The Birthday Massacre

Some of you might recognize this song from your childhood. It’s just a fun, silly, feel good song!

4)Forevermore by Katie Herzig

I’ve been addicted to this song since I first heard it on Syfy’s FaceOff where they had zombies dancing to it. Zombies…enough said.

5)Zombie-Natalia Kills

This song rocks because it celebrates the woman form in a way most don’t. Big girl, you ARE beautiful!

6)Big girl, you are beautiful-Mika

One of my favorite songs of 2011!

7) Rocketeer by Far East Movement

One of THE best songs lyrically I have ever heard that describes what unrequited love is like.

8) Grenade-Bruno Mars

Still love her music even after all these years since she was the first American Idol winner…and not just cause she is from Texas. This is one of her songs off her first album. Very bluesy R&B feeling song.

9)Trouble with Love-Kelly Clarkson

This last one is actually a compilation of various songs. If you’ve ever heard of the video, “Evolution of Dance”…this is the sequel. Very funny and entertaining!

10)Evolution of Dance 2 by Judson Laipply

I hope you enjoyed the 10 songs I chose to share with you.

(I went back and added the names of the song titles and artists for those that read my blog on a phone and might be unable to access the videos.)

{August 2, 2011} A Musical Anniversary a day late…

Yesterday was MTV’s 30th Anniversary on the air and as a special tribute, one of the many things VH1 Classic showcased was playing the ORIGINAL first hour of MTV, including the commercials and technical difficulties. I grew up watching MTV and dancing around in front of the television but MTV aired 2 years and almost 2 months before I came into the world so I had never seen the first hour. My knowledge of the beginnings of MTV were basically that the first video played was “Video killed the radio star”. If you play any trivia games with Music questions, you tend to learn that fact pretty quickly. Other than that, I just knew there was a time when MTV was ALL Music, all the time versus now when there are more shows than actual music. Luckily, it WAS still like that when I watched as a little girl and danced my little feet off until I got too tired of dancing and switched to cartoons……Back then, the cartoons were so much better also, in my opinion, but that’s rather off topic, I suppose.

So I DVR’d the very first hour of MTV. How funny that I am now able to record, rewind, pause, and fast forward something that aired back on August 1st, 1981. It seems very surreal, doesn’t it?

I was confused at the beginning where they were showing a space shuttle lift off from 11 minutes beforehand…..I sat watching for a couple minutes, bored to death, thinking REALLY? This is how MTV started?! So I fast forwarded a bit until the 10,9,8, etc. countdown where the shuttle blasted off and you see the opening on the “moon” and a welcome to rock and roll television. Then I watched the first music video ever played on MTV and wondered what people must have thought that were watching THEN. Music Videos were not as accessible then as they are now…..I can imagine being very excited to have all this music suddenly available to you but that’s about it…it’s just imagining because I can’t even pretend to actually know what that’s like. Music has always BEEN for me and for kids in the future, music will always BE for them…even more so than it was for me in the beginning. It’s everywhere now. Sites like Youtube made MTV obsolete as an all music, all the time channel. Why wait for your favorite video to play when you can search for it online and get almost instant gratification?

At least I can remember back to a time before I personally had a computer. A time when I would wait patiently or IMpatiently for MTV to play the video I had been waiting for or for the radio to play my favorite song. As soon as I got my first boombox with a tape recorder, I would ask my mom for cassette tapes so I could try to record all my favorites to play over and over. Call it an old school version of Napster and Limewire before people illegally downloaded songs online. I remember getting a thrill out of having all my favorite songs for free, or almost free, except for the cost of the tape.

Later in the first hour, I heard one of the Video Jockeys or VJ’s, which are now nonexistent on MTV, mention calling your cable company and “stereoizing” your television. He also mentioned getting an MTV sticker to mark on your stereo dial where to find the channel. I must admit I still have no clue as to what they were referring to. Could you not hear the music if you didn’t do this? I don’t remember noticing this “Stereoize” option when I watched, but MTV had been out for a few years before I was old enough to watch it and remember. I guess this option is something taken for granted now….You just buy a television and the stereo is there.

As I kept watching, I was astonished to see how many differences there had been in 30 years……but it doesn’t seem THAT long ago! I, myself, will turn 30 in a couple of years. Has there really been so many changes?

Like the Mountain Dew commercial with a song and ditty unfamiliar to my ears in which I pointed out the cans to my husband and said, “Look, they look like the Throwback cans they have now.” When I had thought of those Throwback cans before, I was thinking it had been much longer than just 30 years…..

And an old commercial about Atari or rather a mother complaining about her son and husband being addicted. I played an Atari as a kid….yet I didn’t remember how different the graphics were! And a sugarfree gum called Chewel, said to be better than Carefree gum, yet I have heard of Carefree but this was a first for this Chewel gum! What a name, right?

Some of the differences like the technical difficulties, I am so glad to be without as much of, but then there are aspects I wish back…..I wish MTV was ALL music, ALL the time again. I really do…even with the Internet, there was just something nostalgic about it. And the MTV sign that would change colors and designs…I miss it, too.

But most of all, I think I miss the memories of my childhood that watching the old videos and old commercials brings to mind. For a moment, I am transported back in time when I had the energy of the Energizer bunny and could boogie for hours without needing a rest. A time when life was so much less drama and my worries were few. A time when I was free to have fun and not have to worry about bills and politics. My job was just to be a kid. MTV is a part of my childhood and a part of me aches to know that my kid won’t have the same experience with it as I do.

Happy 30th Anniversary, MTV! I had fun growing up with you!

{July 25, 2011} Breaking it down from 1983 to now

I came up with an idea to showcase the top song of each year from the year I was born-1983 up until now as a list and give you my take on each. This is all completely my own opinion and you can take it or leave it. I just thought it would be something fun and different. I got the top songs by year from this site, just to let you know where it came from.

1983-“Every Breath you take” by The Police (Great song, good beat, but the lyrics feel a little stalkerish, don’t you think? “Every move you make, I’ll be watching you?” Dude…what if I just wanted to use the bathroom? Can you say, Clingy???

1984-“When Doves Cry”-Prince (My only issue with this song was as a child when I didn’t get the metaphors…..I never quite understood how doves crying sounded like people screaming at each other…..Now I understand the metaphor and actually like this song. On the other hand, I still do not get his fashion style or the need to change names….oh well….)

1985- “Careless Whisper”-Wham (Good lesson in the words of this song….Rumors and gossip can ruin friendships)

1986- “That’s what friends are for”-Dionne Warwick ( For some reason, I never liked the flow of this song and I’m not sure why…..it’s got good lyrics, I just always thought the song was majorly cheesy but I’m thinking in ’85 people were big on rumors and in 86′ they must have mended friendships so this ended up being their big anthem. I’m not sure because I was only 3….)

1987-‘Walk like an Egyptian”-Bangles (OK…this music video played a lot when I was a little girl and I loved it. I remember doing the egyptian dance as a tiny tyke and singing along. Adults at this time might have considered it cheesy like the Locomotion(which I also loved) or The Macarena(that came in later years) but for a 4 yr. old, this song was awesome!)

1988-“Faith” by George Michael-(From a hit about gossip to a hit about having faith in a relationship where the girl plays the same games as HE plays…..hmmm, opening up your diary, George? This was a very catchy tune, one that I catch myself singing along with to this day, so I can’t really hate on it)

1989- “Look Away”-Chicago(I had never heard this song until now. I searched it online to listen for this post, I love many other songs by this group and this song sounds like the Chicago I love. Sad lyrics about letting go of someone you love because they don’t feel the same but it hurts to just be friends…so you’d rather they look away. I can remember times from the past where these lyrics would have fit so well)

1990- “Hold on”-Wilson Phillips (I have to admit that I’m not familiar with Wilson Phillips…sorry to those that may be thinking I possibly don’t know good music. In fact, I wasn’t sure I even had heard of this song until I looked it up and then I had a flash! NOW I remember this song! I always thought it had a good beat but never paid attention to the lyrics, now that I read the lyrics…it sounds very inspirational.

Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day

1991-“Everything I do(I do it for you)-Bryan Adams (One of my absolute favorite love songs…what can I say? )

1992- “End of the Road”-Boyz II Men (Ah, the group responsible for making young girls misspell the word Boys….and making them giddy with their irresistible harmonies. At 9 years old, I had older friends obsessed with this group and while I was never obsessed with them, I couldn’t help but love their songs. This one was no exception.)

1993- “I will always love you”-Whitney Houston (Back when Whitney wasn’t on drugs(or at least not to my knowledge) and her voice was at its best….Did anyone NOT love this song?)

1994- “The Sign”-Ace of Base (Is it OK to admit I was obsessed with this song? It was just so upbeat and peppy and made you want to dance. Now that I am older, I have to say the beat is still so much fun but the lyrics are definitely not the best….”No one’s gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong”…I am still confused as to what the message here is, surely it’s not meaning the light at the end of the tunnel? I mean, I have been mad at some guys, but that’s a little much! And let’s face it…with lyrics like “Under the pale moon, where I see a lot of stars”….no one’s winning any lyric awards)

1995- “Gangsta’s Paradise”-Coolio (One of the very few rap songs that I know all the lyrics to….There’s very few rap songs that I am a fan of and this one happened to come out when I was a pre teen obsessed with the music on the radio and I just picked up on all the lyrics. Really sad song…)

1996- “Macarena”-Los Del Rio(OMG…..Was there really nothing better in music in 1996? Seriously? I mean, I knew the little dance…it’s not as if you needed to be a genius, there were 2 year olds to 99 year olds dancing the Macarena, but great music? No….The Macarena gives me nightmares…..)

1997- “Candle in the Wind”-Elton John(Tribute to Princess Diana….beautiful song, talented singer/songwriter…I can’t possibly say anything bad)

1998- “Too Close”-Next (Great beat…When I first heard this song, I loved it, but I wasn’t thinking about how naughty the lyrics were….definitely not appropriate for young kids)

1999- “Believe”-Cher (“Do you believe in life after love?” Yes, I do…and this song came at a time in my life as a teen when I needed to believe so for that reason I liked and still like this song)

2000- “Breathe”-Faith Hill (For someone like me who has never been a fan of country music, this was just one of the many cross overs that I grew to love and think of as pop instead of country)

2001- “Lady Marmalade”-Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Pink and Mya (I was already a big fan of Christina, Pink AND Mya so no surprise that I loved this song….oh and still do!)

2002- “A thousand miles”-Vanessa Carlton (I would sing this song but I never LOVED it…..maybe it was because I could never picture myself walking a thousand miles….)

2003- “Crazy in Love”-Beyonce ft. Jay-Z (When you’re in love, you DO tend to go crazy…and look it…I have found that out….and when someone sings that they are crazy in love with such a happy dance beat and is so proud of the fact, how can you rain on their parade?)

2004- “The Reason”-Hoobastank (Besides the simple fact that the name of this band makes me think of things that stink….This song far from stinks….in fact, I think it’s an amazing song and shows that people CAN truly change)

2005- “We belong together”-Mariah Carey (Finally she makes this list! I’ve always loved her and apart from the movie “Glitter” she made that flopped, she can’t go wrong in my eyes)

2006- “Bad Day”-Daniel Powter (I remember this song being the original Goodbye song for American Idol…..maybe I could blame that for being the reason I have always hated this song…..but I think the truth is I would have hated it regardless…sorry)

2007- “Irreplaceable”-Beyonce (Awesome woman’s anthem to her man letting him know that he better treat her right cause he is NOT irreplaceable) Note to my husband: Disregard last statement

2008- ‘Low”-Flo-rida (He took his home state and made it his name by splitting it into two and then made a club anthem that people still are singing…..smooth move)

2009- “Boom Boom Pow”-Black Eyed Peas (I danced to this song with 2 of my nieces at my Bachelorette Party. Very fun song!)

2010- “Telephone”-Lady Gaga (The Madonna of this new generation singing about being too busy partying and having fun to answer that darn phone. Well, sometimes I don’t feel like answering the phone even when I’m not having fun so sing on, girl! Here’s to ignoring the phone when you’ve just had enough of the phone calls!)

2011- ? Well….since 2011 hasn’t finished yet, who knows what the top song will be for this year. I have my guesses….one guess would be ‘Firework” by Katy Perry…which I like but I think it’s been overplayed. What song do YOU think will be the top song of 2011? What song would YOU pick if you were the judge? And lastly, did you enjoy my music post? If you did, please let me know. Any suggestions on other music posts you would like to see me do if you liked this one?

{May 4, 2011} Music from the year I was born

First of all, one of the blogs I came across not too long ago is doing 31 days of Blogging Honesty in May. I considered doing it too but I decided I didn’t want to be tied down to HAVING to answer a certain question everyday. BUT I’ve been reading what his answers are and today he did day 3 which was Favorite song from the year you were born. Since I’ve been lacking inspiration lately, this really intrigued me and I decided to take that question and turn it into a post! It just sounded really fun to look up what songs came out the year I was born and which ones I really liked. So thank you to Tom Baker for doing your 31 days of Blogging Honesty and I hope you don’t mind that I used your Day 3 as a prompt for a post!

Here’s the link to HIS day 3:

31 Days Of Blogging Honesty: Day 03 « Morning Erection. <—Don’t let the name scare you away, the post is G rated and a lot of his posts are nothing like what you might perceive from his blog name….by which I mean the “Erection” part. He DOES have some more NSFW (Not safe for work) things on there every once in awhile but he warns you, so don’t be afraid to check out his page!

Now on to my favorite songs from the year I was born!

1983!

OK…don’t laugh…my first FAV. going down the list HAS to be “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler. I actually heard a remake before the original and fell into like with it so of course I also like the original!

My second fav. on the list…”Up where we belong” by Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes….I know, I know…totally cheesy 80′s love song but it reminds me of when I was a kid at home with my mom while she was watching the cheesy soap operas that ALWAYS used to play this song among others. And it doesn’t hurt that I used a song that came from either the 80′s or 90′s at my wedding. The song was “Baby, you’re my destiny” and it was ALSO by Joe Cocker…and some other female singer. The song lyrics are just beautiful and so is the song.

Ok…next, ssshhh, don’t tell my momma! ‘Sexual Healing” by Marvin Gaye…Need I say more?!

And lastly….”Tonight I celebrate my love for you” by Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack….another cheesy love song from the 80′s that also was on a soap opera….Do I have a pattern going here? The 80′s had some good cheesy love songs, what can I say?!

Here’s some other honorable mentions that I also like from 1983 but I didn’t choose as a favorite.

“Every breath you take”-Police

“Billie Jean”-Michael Jackson

“Sweet Dreams(are made of this)”-Eurythmics

“Hungry like the wolf”-Duran Duran

“Mickey”-Toni Basil

“Always something there to remind me”-Naked Eyes

Did you know there were 5 Michael Jackson songs on the Billboard Hot 100 for 1983? WOW! Just thought that was an interesting fact.

What’s your favorite song or songs from the year YOU were born? I would love to hear!

{January 27, 2011} My Ode to Music

Me with my first true love

Me and Music go way back. We are like long lost siblings that mesh together so well. I can’t remember a time when music wasn’t a part of my life. As soon as I was old enough to control a TV remote, I found MTV and music videos. Everywhere I heard music, I couldn’t help but be intrigued and have a huge smile on my face. I have just always loved music and music has always been there for me.

I remember holidays as a child when I would grab a stool, set it in front on the TV, stand up on it and sing out for everyone to hear. Looking back, I am sure it annoyed the men who wanted to watch their football games but I didn’t care. Music was something I loved and singing was my way of sharing music with others. If I was in the car, I was pretending to be a radio DJ AND doing my own made up songs as well. If I was in the grocery store, I was in the cart banging on the front like a piano and singing out for the whole store to hear. I still have old fashioned cassette tapes where I recorded myself being a DJ, singing and announcing songs that I taped from the radio.

As I grew up, I kept more to myself and didn’t sing out in public all the time. I mean, people tend to look at you like you should be in a mental hospital if you do. Honestly though, my confidence in sharing my love of music through singing dropped as I got older as well. It’s funny how when you’re a kid you just don’t care so much what people think. As you age though, you learn that people are judgmental and you tend to become so yourself. So I don’t sing all the time around everyone anymore but my love for music is still there.

There was a dance song when I was younger that was called, “I’ve got the power”. There’s a line in it that says “Music is my life”. I’ve always related to that line. I don’t know where I would be right now if it wasn’t for music. Music has gotten me through some of the worst moments in my life. It has lifted me up when I was down, became a proverbial shoulder for me to cry on. It has made me laugh, allowed me to express myself in a way that nothing else ever has. Sometimes I feel like all the answers to life’s problems can be found in lyrics.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. ~Victor Hugo

When words leave off, music begins. ~Heinrich Heine

The discovery of song and the creation of musical instruments both owed their origin to a human impulse which lies much deeper than conscious intention: the need for rhythm in life… the need is a deep one, transcending thought, and disregarded at our peril. ~Richard Baker

A Musical Joke now?

A tourist is sightseeing in a European city. She comes upon the tomb of Beethoven, and begins reading the commerative plaque, only to be distracted by a low scratching noise, as if something was rubbing against a piece of paper.

She collars a passing native and asks what the scratching sound is.

The local person replies, “Oh, that is Beethoven. He’s decomposing.”
