SONG #5 = A SONG THAT IS OFTEN STUCK IN YOUR HEAD.

Well, I'm not sure that this song has forever been stuck in my head, but ever since I've heard it (about a week and a half), it has been a constant ear worm for me. The rhythm of my walking pace makes me think of this song and it drives me crazy. The video replays in my mind and I'm practically drowning in the failure of it all. At the same time though, the mere thought of the video will make me smile. Perhaps I'm finally going crazy, but now the song is associated with happiness, because it's difficult for me to listen to this song when I'm unhappy.

The sheer and utter horror that accompanies it negates any and all feelings of negativity. If only it wasn't so damn catchy, then everything would be okay. What sucks worse than just having the song stuck in my head is the fact that it doesn't only apply to Fridays - it's every day. Every. single. day.

I'm not coherent, because of this song. Btw, I've never seen a single Youtube video with more dislikes than this one.

All of you better listen to it too. I didn't post this for my own enjoyment. #deathglare

SONG #4 = A SONG THAT CALMS YOU DOWN.

[I was *this* close to putting a different song, but it applies better to a different category. I'm sure other people have these issues, as well, when it comes to this music challenge, or that's what I'll keep telling myself.]

Anyway, I picked this song because it has all the elements that truly calm me down - a beautiful piano playing in the background, soft singing, focus on the instrumentals, and gorgeous lyrics. I like the fact that the lyrics don't overpower the song, but rather complement them. It's really difficult for me to be angry when this song is playing and it's probably one of the most "hipster" songs I enjoy :P

Obviously my favorite lines are the last two in the song, and I realize it's a 7 minute long song, but I strongly suggest you listen to the whole thing without skipping the instrumental sections <3

SONG #3 = A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF ONE OR BOTH OF YOUR PARENTS

Oh boy, where to begin? Apparently my father courted my mom to this song, which pissed her off, because normally being called any variation of fat isn't a compliment. Needless to say, they didn't get together right away, due to other reasons besides the fact he would sing this to her, but clearly it all worked out! Sometimes my dad will still sing it to her, but she gets just as pissed off as she used to, but this song is rather fitting for how my dad is as a person; this song is a double whammy :P

Complete Unadulterated Joy

You know that feeling you get deep inside you where you're extremely happy for someone even though you aren't the reason for their happiness? Where even though you have no involvement whatsoever, you still feel accomplished?

It's such a complicated feeling to describe, but I was creeping on the interwebz and stumbled upon something that gave me those feelings and admittedly, I teared up a bit. I stopped before the waterworks actually broke, but it's such an amazing feeling and knowing that other people are experiencing such positive emotions makes me feel like it's possible for everyone to find something or someone to be passionate about. Some people can even find that passion in both facets and it's incredibly sweet to be able to see. I want to so badly just start squealing with delight, but I'd definitely be overstepping my boundaries =P

If you have a hunch as to what I'm talking about, most likely you're right. This chick knows her way around the internet :D

SONG #2 = A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF YOUR MOST RECENT EX.

This was fucking difficult. Truthfully there are a lot of songs that apply, because we listened to music together a lot. So I decided to go for this song, which just reminds me of when we met.

I had been introduced to him previously at a homecoming game, but he had went to a different school, so thus I didn't think I'd ever see him again. Lo and behold, a few weeks later, he transferred to Verot and was in my Acting 1 class. His first day of class was when we were going on a field trip, in which, Melanie & I were SCREAMING this song obnoxiously because we were going to see Romeo & Juliet at the Florida Rep.

Well, when I sing songs, I get really into it and move my hands, which is completely normal. He happened to walk passed me though while I was singing the chorus and he had this confused look on his face. It was completely understandable though; I'd be freaked out if someone pointed at me and said, "I think you're fine!! you really blow my mind! ... I just want you to know I wanna be your Romeo!!" Considering we had just met for the second time and I'm already serenading him and saying he's the Juliet to my Romeo, I've clearly always been a socially awkward penguin.

SONG #1 = A SONG FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD



There were honestly so many songs I could have picked for this category that I really had to sit down to think about it. I was always singing when I was younger, even if I couldn't hit a single note correctly. It was just something I always enjoyed and I still do now, but this song in particular has the most memories that I can actually remember attached to it.

My dad used to sing this song EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it ever came on the radio when I was little, which was quite often. Every single time he would get to, "A little bit of Jessica, here I am!" I would scowl. I didn't like the fact my name was in a song, because I thought my name was unique and I especially did not like that he would always yell that line no matter where he was. Yes, I was easily embarrassed as a small child and he would make a giant scene for the Jessica line, just to spite me. I'm sure it also had to deal with my scrunchy face as well. One day I'll have to post my angry faced picture from when I was 6 or 7 :P

What Can I Say? I'm a Follower :P

I will also be partaking in this 25 days of songs challenge! Looking at the range of song titles, it's going to be INCREDIBLY difficult to not repeat the same ones, because truthfully, my musical taste is not that vast and I have a lot of songs that overlap. Like I have one song that encompasses both favorite, summer song, sing a long, dance song, etc. I'll try my best to actually follow the rules for once though and show my music taste :P

NEVERMIND. YOUTUBE IS ACTING VERY DUMB RIGHT NOW AND WON'T PLAY ANY VIDEO :C

I shall try again later :C
