OK, admit it. You have some real cheesy songs on your iPOD (or Zune or other MP3 player of your choice). You know, those songs you only sing in the car when you are by yourself or maybe in the shower.
To say that my taste in music is eclectic is quite the understatement. I enjoy music - plain and simple. If it evokes an emotional response in me or if I can relate to the lyrics in some way, it will most likely find its way onto my play lists - no matter the genre. I have songs on my iPOD ranging from hardcore heavy metal to classical. It's not about liking just one style of music, its about gravitating towards a certain rhythm or reminiscing about a song from your childhood. And that can come in many, many forms and styles of music.
So as Anna Nalick sings in 'Breath (2 AM)' -- which is on my iPOD -- "And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd / Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud / And I know that you'll use them, however you want to" -- I challenge you to list the top 5 songs on your MP3 player that you'd simply prefer to keep to yourself lest you reap the harassment of friends and family . . . and why they are on there.
I'll start. Here goes (deep breath) . . .
1. Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler) - That smokey, raspy voice just conjures up memories of 80's music that I grew up on. Maybe the original "power ballad". I crank this one up to 11.
2. Les Mis Soundtrack - Possibly the best musical ever performed (well, at least for the soundtrack). Do you hear the people sing?
3. Glamorous / Fergalicious / Big Girls Don't Cry (Fergie) - Maybe another 80's connection for me. You remember Stacey Ferguson from "Kids, Inc." don't you? Seriously, how can you top lyrics like "I'll be up in the gym just working on my fitness"? All I can say, is that it's "D to the E to the L-I-C-I-O-U-S!
4. Celestial Soda Pop (Ray Lynch) - Completely new age and totally synthesized, this instrumental has a hauntingly catchy beat. I would nearly wager my next paycheck that no one has ever heard this song, let alone has it on their iPOD.
5. Forever Young (Alphaville) - If you are a bit of a romantic and went to high school in the 80's or 90's, then you are probably familiar with this tune. You maybe even slow-danced to it at a mixer. Ah . . . what fond memories of being rejected by members of the opposite sex!
Now, let the tagging begin. Let's see. Jeff, Nic, and Amy. You're it!

Wow! Deep Breakfast! I went through two different copies of that cassette in the 90s.
Total Eclipse of the Heart? Yuck. I will participate, but I got nothing but quality on my iPod. It is only a 2gb Nano - so there is no space wasted.
well i dont have a ipod or mp3 player.. i guess iam out of the loop. but i love your choice of music. i saw les mis in new york and i love that soundtrack!
My parents got me an iPod for my birthday. Can you believe that all I have on it are the Signing Time cd's?
I soooo need to get a life, lol!
Wait. What hardcore heavy metal do you have? What did you do with my brother?
Laughing at the people's responses to you. :) I'll play. Thanks for thinking of me....and yes.....your blogging has been way too infrequent over the summer. :) Give Abby a hug from KY. Nicole
OK- I seriously did not think ANYONE was as into Les Mis as I was, lolololol!! We could do the Singing Bee and tie, I'm sure ;)
