on sundays we make lists no. 1
This is week one for my new series, on sundays we make lists, a fun project designed for fellow list lovers like myself.
this week's list is all about music: your favorite songs, to be exact.
I was a little shocked to see just how many cheesy pop songs are on my list. But not embarrassed. Baby by Justin Beiber (before he started mooning people and being carried up the Great Wall of China) may not be a masterpiece, but I still love it. (The end of the song? When he sings, "yeah, yeah, yeah" on a loop? The best part of the song. Have a listen if you don't believe me.)
I kept my list to the songs that, if they came on the radio, I would immediately turn up the volume and sing along.
Here's my list:
Alarm Call, Bjork
Dirrty, Christina Aguilera
Hello, Good Morning, Diddy, Nikki Minaj & Rick Ross
Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Michael Jackson
el Taxi, Osmani Garcia
Digital Witness, St. Vincent

One thing I've realized? I like either non-offensive pop songs or wayyyyyy dirty hip hop. Nothing in between. Huh. And while I was compiling the above list, I realized I only listen to the music on youtube...I don't watch them. Jeez, there's an awful lot of booty shaking in some of those videos.
For my challenge, I've decided to try to expand my horizons into folk music and old-school show tunes. Any suggestions on where I should start?
