Thursday for Knowledge
I spend most of my time "telling" things about myself, telling stories, ranting about current events or issues that I might encounter on a daily basis.
Maybe today would be a good time to "ask" you guys something and get your input... well I guess it still involves a little bit of "telling", since i'll give you my opinion on it as well.
Today found me contemplating music, and although there are unlimited topics and resources to discuss about music, I found myself thinking about the most depressing songs that I could remember hearing. Then of course there are songs that are so uplifting they make you wanna change your life, or at least take you sailing through the day with a good feeling.
Then there are the ones that are so annoying that you cannot even abide listening to them for a minute (in which case I flip channels or put in a CD).
So here goes... and list as many as you feel like.
What is the most Depressing song you've ever heard?
What's the most Uplifting or "feel good" song for you?
What's the most annoying song you've ever heard?
What's the best comical tune?
Best "Get Busy" sexy love song?
All around favorite song?
My answers are-
Depressing: "Time in A Bottle" by Jim Croce and "Cat's In The Cradle" by Harry Chapin
Uplifting/feel good: "She Sells Sanctuary" the Cult
Annoying: "Fergalicious" (lately that is) by Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas
Comical: Anything by Weird Al Yankovic
'Get Busy': "These Arms of Mine" by Otis Redding or the whole "R. Kelly" album.
I might think of more...
