When Helene announced that she would be hosting a one time linkup I knew I was going to participate, regardless of the topic. I just adore that girl over there, she is the yin to my yang.
I have such an obsessive personality, I find it odd to tell you that I'm actually not a music junkie. I love love love music, and I'd hate to live without it, but I'm not someone able to tell you a singer's birth date or even album name. Heck, I still haven't even seen the Miley Cyrus video from the VMAs!
What I do know about music is that I have some songs that make me feel very strongly... whether that feeling is joy, depression or let's party our faces off right this second. If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time, you know I like to categorize things, so let's DO THIS!
You want to see someone balling their face off? Be sure to play me...
Bagpipes played at my dad's funeral. What a dumb decision that was on my mom and my part. Bagpipes are considered to be joyous and happy musical instruments, but instead, all we associate it with is the worst day of our lives. Same goes for Amazing Grace and Danny Boy. Please never play me these songs. Someone could be playing Gold-digger by Kayne West on bagpipes and I'll start balling hysterically.
Next topic, I'm not done depressing everyone just yet!
Do you have any of those songs that you've shared with a boy you loved, you broke up, and now you'd sooner have a colonoscopy than listen to that song? I have a few of these that were once a song I couldn't stop playing on repeat, now when I hear it I have to go running in the other direction. I thought songs were supposed to get you over a breakup. Not make it worse. Am I the only one with this problem?
Oh wait, did I list just one song? I mean every song this band has ever written. The lyrics they write, the lead singer's raspy voice drifting from word to word, the images I've worked so hard to forget now freshly emblazoned in my mind. Nope, I'll pass, next song. Thanks a lot for that.
Have I thoroughly depressed everyone yet???? That was clearly my goal.
There, how's this for my next topic? Better right?
I could be sitting in my pajamas as 9pm on Saturday night, hear a certain song, and all of a sudden I'm standing in my closet perusing outfit options with a glass of wine in hand.
And finally there are those songs when it comes on you think, "Man, is it my birthday? How did the iPod know this is exactly what I want to hear?" These are the songs that just don't get old. The songs that I could listen to every single day for ever and ever.
I'm assuming you knew this would be on my list sooner or later. I just love it because of how much people hate it who aren't us. I'd play it the whole game if I had a choice.
No idea why. I Just haven't been able to get enough of it since the first day it came out.

Why do I love this song? Shoulders, chest, pants, shoes. That's why. What is the number one song screamed at politely requested by Sarah Webb to every house DJ from Dallas to Knoxville? Wipe me down.
Now it's your turn! I'm going to temporarily host the linkup for Miss Helene until Go Daddy gets their ish together and fixes her blog, fingers crossed it will be asap! I've dealt with hosting issues in the past, not fun at all.
