Music Makes the People Come Together

Some thoughts on what's randomly playing on my MP3 Player from my as yet unnamed playlist...

  1. Stand Back (Stevie Nicks): i can't stand her, but i love this song. i have no idea what she's saying; it sounds like she's stuck in a wood-chipper.
  2. the Tide is High (Blondie): honestly, before their "comeback" Blondie could do no wrong. this song really is golden.
  3. Heart of Glass (Blondie): see #2
  4. I Would Die for You (Prince): i've always liked Prince, but Shithead was a majorly psychotic fan. it was terribly disturbing. i still listen to him now and again and thank Cher i'm with Stephen. :)
  5. Edge of Seventeen (Stevie Nicks): see #1 (i think it's just the chorus i like about this song; all the rest is unintelligible)
  6. Immature (Bjork): the lyrics to this song are awesome: "how could i be so immature to think that he could replace the missing elements in me? how extremely lazy of me!" say what you want about her, the bitch has a point.
  7. the Queen is Dead (the Smiths): ah the angst of Morrissey. whatever happened to him?
  8. She Bop (Cyndi Lauper): this was one of the very 1st albums i ever owned (on cassette!). i played it so much it wore out. it wasn't till, like 5 years ago that i realized what this song was about. that Cyndi! she was so naughty!
  9. Frankly, Mr Shankly (the Smiths): this song is SO f'n snotty and peppy!
  10. Take a Chance (ABBA): in college, Jenn and i used to sit in her car and she'd chant the "take a chance" part over and over again during this song. we always cracked up!
  11. Blue Monday (New Order): holy '80's Batman.
  12. Ask (the Smiths): *sigh* ah to be a buck-tooth girl in Luxemburg.
  13. Shine (Cyndi Lauper): the 1st time i heard this song was live, when she opened for Cher during the "Farewell Tour". i still get chills when i hear it. love her!
  14. No More (Jason Walker): holy crap. this song's lyrics are phenomonal and it was produced by Dynamix AND it was covered by Kristine W! the next time someone needs a Break-Up Mix or Anti-Valentines Day mix: this song is totally going on it.
  15. Because of You (Kelly Clarkson): ok i admit it, i jumped on the KC bandwagon. this song is so gut-wrenchingly well-done, with her plaintive and desperate sounding voice, that it's hard to resist. i still won't watch American Idol though.
  16. Everything She Wants (Wham!): yup i own Wham!, and i'm not ashamed. i love this song. she's a greedy bitch George! leave her and go back into the bushes!
  17. Voulez Vous (ABBA): this song is so campy and so fabulous.
  18. Paradise is Here [Junior's radio edit] (Cher): Cher and Junior is like chocolate and peanut-butter: fantastic separate, and mind-numbingly fabulous together.
  19. Love is a Groove (Cher): it's that noise at the begining of song that really gets me. it sound like she's playing bottles filled with water. i live for that noise. then she says "Kathmandu", and i know that she can do no wrong.
  20. Girlfriend in a Coma (the Smiths): (see #7) c'mon, who else could've written this song?
  21. the Sodom and Gomorrah Show (the Pet Shop Boys): this song is like a Vegas production number. i *heart* Neil Tennant.
  22. Faithfully [Valentin radio edit](Judy Torres): i usually hate covers, especially when i really like the original, but this one is phenomonal. she really makes it her own; incidentally, it's also a pretty kick-ass mix.
  23. Regret (New Order): i absolutely love the opening bars of this song. wow, New Order; where are they now?
  24. Mama Mia (ABBA): (see#17)
  25. How Soon Is Now? (the Smiths): this song is deffinitely in my top 5 for all time favorites.
  26. I Knew You Were Waiting for Me (George Michael and Aretha Franklin): this is the butchest i've ever heard him sound.
  27. Gloria (Laura Branigan): poor Laura; dead. yet, her song lives on and on and on
  28. Barracuda (Heart): this song always takes me back to Wednesdays at Barracuda; where we'd see the notoriously fabulous drag-queen: Shasta Cola. she tore the place up with this song.
  29. I Wanna Have Some Fun (Samantha Fox): so trashy, so slutty, such a one-hit-wonder that somehow had five.

ok, i'm mad busy now. there's no way i'll be able to post more. until tomorrow!

Alright, I definitely laughed out loud at a few of these (Cher and Junior lolol) but just so you're always correct in your info:

No More - Jason Walker: This song originated as an aside. It was specially written as the intro to Junior's mix of Kristine's "Sweet Mercy Me". Jason covered it. Not Kristine.

But I still love you lol!
