Music Bitch

It’s been awhile since I posted one of these lists. I have discovered my new hobby is to track down various songs while watching bad b-roll at the job. So many new songs—and several people who make multiple appearances.

Maps- The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I had this on the computer before the bad crash from last year. I didn’t realize it was missing till a few days ago.

Goodies- Ciara. Because I should have already owned this song. Serious.

Everybody Knows- Leonard Cohen. I actually prefer the Concrete Blonde cover from ‘Pump Up the Volume’ but figure its best to go old school on this classic.

Joey- Concrete Blonde. The song is depressing but haunting in its own way. And the video sticks with me to this day.

Delta Dawn- Tanya Tucker. This is totally from working on ‘Tuckerville’ and having it played everyday for almost 7 months.

Let Me Talk to You/My Love- Justin Timberlake w/ T.I. This is the first of three appearances and the runner up to gayest music on the list. But this song makes me smile and dance which is quite good depending on who you ask.

FutureSexLoveSound- Justin Timberlake. I just find this song very captivating. I just a fan of people who experiment with sounds.

Sexy Back- Justin Timberlake. Just because the video makes me hot.

Wind It Up- Gwen Stefani. I know this song makes some people crazy and if you told me a dance hit based off ‘Sound of Music’ would make me ‘get into it’ like this has… I would have called your crazy but I think this single proves that crazy is Gwen’s job.

The Actor- Robbie Williams. This song just makes me laugh my ass off. All the funny actor quotes are so true even if the lyrics don’t make sense.

Fergilous- Fergie. It’s totally a rip off of ‘Super Sonic’ and I used to worship that song. For some reason the line 'I be up in the gym just working on my fitness’ cracks me like no other lyric as of late. The gayest song on the list.

London Bridge- Fergie. I used to hate this song. But hearing it everyday in my office has made me get more into. Even if I don’t respect it.

You and Me- Rie Sinclair. Yeah it’s country light and the love theme of Jason and Sam from ‘General Hospital’. That being said—I really like the lyrics—even if I hate Jason and Sam on ‘GH’.

Le Disko- Shiny Toy Guns. Just so different and cool. Yeah—this one was suggested by Perez Hilton but it’s very worthy.

Irreplaceable– Beyonce. I saw the TRL performance and just really got into the sound. I always love a ballad that’s really a ‘get out of my life, I’m over you’ song.

Beware of the Dog- Jamelia. This is that ‘SOS’ song’s British cousin and lift the hook from ‘Personal Jesus’ so it’s really not that clever. But I like it. Judge me.

Love Today- Mika. You don’t know this song most likely. But you will after this holiday season since it’s in a huge ad campaign. And it is very worthy of the honor.

Grace Kelly- Mika. This song grabbed me the first time I heard it via myspace. I love his voice, his lyrics, his samples and it stayed with me for days after one listen. It’s that good.

Blue Bayou- Linda Ronstadt. I don’t know why I have such a sentimental attachment to this song. I suspect someone in my family used to listen to it a lot.

When Will I Be Loved- Linda Ronstadt. I have always loved this song. And I always forget that it’s Miss Linda. I am so going to karaoke this one.

Bossy- Kelis. It’s nasty, rude and mean but I have been into since I first heard my current monsters play it on one of our show’s tapes. Kelis grows in love every single I get my hands on.

I Don’t Feel Like Dancing- Scissors Sisters. I love irony in music—not Alanis style-so this song caught me with the upbeat sound and downbeat lyrics.

Do You Realize?- The Flaming Lips. I have always loved this song and lost it in the Great Crash of 2005. Now it’s back and just in time.

Spider Web- No Doubt. This was my voice mail greeting in college and still gets me jumping today. I just love the ska sound.

I’m Just a Girl- No Doubt. Another classic lost and found. I really needed a copy of this on the soundtrack for Samuel’s birthday party.

Little Less Conversation- Elvis Presley. Because he’s the king and it makes me feel like one too.

Why Do You Love Me- Garbage. This song is just so unlike the band but so great. Just a list of why someone isn’t lovable and wonders how you can love them with all the faults. Perfect.

Are U that Somebody- The Gossip. It’s a cover of the Alliyah song that works. I love when a cover is all about a new sound and new interoperation of the lyrics. Soulfully yet rocking too.
