30 Day Music Meme: Day Twenty Seven

Day 27- A song you wish you could play

Today’s song came so so SO close to being Day 20’s song (A song you listen to when you’re angry). But I decided to hold off for today’s one. As I would LOVE to play this on the violin.

Vivaldi’s Winter (especially the first movement) is probably my favourite piece of classical music. I just look the fierceness of this piece, the staccato notes add urgency and it really does invoke visions of winter, iciness and blizzards for me. I could just listen to this all day every day.

For the videos, I have chosen two versions. The first is closest to the version I have on my iPod and the second I found while scouring through so many different videos to find the first one!

Day 26- A song you can play on an instrument

Like most Irish children, I learned to play the tin whistle in primary school. In first class, the year before we started lessons in class, I picked up my cousin’s tin whistle and taught myself to play the chorus to Turn on the Sun by Nana Mouskouri. First song I learned to play in lessons was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I continued playing traditional Irish music on the tin whistle for another seven years, including in my Junior Certificate Music Exam.

I have a relatively good musical ear. Not great, but I picked up my friend’s guitar and taught myself today’s song. Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. Granted, not the hardest thing, but I have always been interested in learning how to play the guitar. Interested but not motivated. Story of my life.

Day 25- A song that makes you laugh

This one I have found tough, as although I knew what band I wanted to write about, there’s so many songs to choose from. The Goldie Lookin Chain are a comedy rap group from Wales. They’re lyrics are funny, though often rude and very offensive! Today’s song is no different. Word of warning, it’s VERY rude and VERY offensive!

Your Mother’s Got a Penis. Ya, the title itself makes me laugh (and at the same time cringe at how offensive it is!). Give it a listen, if you dare. Don’t blame me though if you find it horribly offensive, I am giving you plenty of warning!

Day 24- A song you want to play at your funeral

While I can be particularly morbid in my thoughts at times, thinking about my funeral isn’t something that has popped into my head that often. Right now, I’m not particularly concerned what music is played at my funeral, I’m sure my loved ones would choose appropriate songs. I had thought of picking a more religious song, like Amazing Grace, but seeing as I’m not sure where I stand when it comes to religion, I couldn’t really do that. Besides, I don’t think I’d like a song to forever be associated with a sad occasion (because no matter how much it is a celebration of someone’s life, it’s always going to be sad).

I’ve seen or heard this topic be discussed on numerous occasions, with a lot of people saying they’d like play metal at their funeral. I wonder how many of these actually go through with this and put it in their will? And how many of those wishes get followed through, would you have the balls to play something like that if your loved one requested it?

So I can’t pick a song I’d like to play. At a push, maybe The Farewell Waltz by Chopin. The title is adapt and while the song has tinges of sadness, I think it’s still a beautiful mellow song.

Day 23- A song that you want to play at your wedding

When I think back to all the weddings I’ve been to, I honestly can’t remember any of the first dance songs. Not one of them. I’m sure they were all lovely and very romantic and suiting, but my mind has gone blank. I tend to enjoy weddings more for the cheesy bad songs that are played. So for that reason I’ll include two songs today, one for the more romantic side of a wedding and the other for the disco part.

8 Days a Week is a lovely, simple but utterly romantic song by The Beatles. And one that I think would be beautiful to dance to at a wedding. Though that’s not to say I would pick it as my first dance song (if I ever should get married that is!).

On the completely opposite side of it, is the Grease Mega Mix from the film Grease. Music for a wedding should always get people on their feet and this song is certainly a (cheesy) crowd pleaser!

Day 22- A song you listen to when you’re sad

I tried to break the cycle, I really did! I tried to pick a song that wasn’t from the 80s, but gosh darn I’m drawn to that decade like a magnet! Today’s song is Total Eclipse of the Heart, the 1983 hit from Welsh warbler Bonnie Tyler.

What can be sadder than a total eclipse of the heart?! It’s the perfect song to listen to when I’m sad (except maybe a bit of Coldplay, as discussed on Day 4). This song is made for wallowing in your own self pity and sadness. Except when watching the ‘Literal Video’ version on YouTube. That cracks me up! Watch it if you haven’t already!

Day 21- A song you listen to when you’re happy

If you’ve been following me on this journey through my (bad) musical tastes, you’d be right in guessing today’s song is of course an 80s song. It was one I considered for Day 3 and Day 9, as it makes me happy and want to dance. It’s one I always put on when I’m feeling happy.

Wake Me Up by Wham! just makes me happy. I don’t ever remember listening to it and feeling sad. It has so many happy memories attached with it. It is one of the first songs I ever remember hearing. Well, not the Wham! version exactly. Growing up, I had a small keyboard and this was the demo song on. It features in one of my favourite films, Zoolander. And I’ve sang for karaoke on a number of occasions. I also love the video with the UV paint and fabulous 80s fashion! Makes me want to own a Choose Life t-shirt.

Day 20- A song you listen to when you’re angry

When you’re angry, the only music that really works is rock. And sometimes classical music (for the more cultured amongst us). Ideally, it should be a song you can scream to, express your rage. Kelis’ Caught Out There is a perfect one in that situation, screaming ‘I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!’ can be very therapeutic. But in reality, being able to scream like that every time you’re angry isn’t going to happen. More than likely you’re going to have to seethe in silence while blasting music through some earphones.

In my moody teenage years, I often turned First It Giveth by Queens of the Stone Age on when I was angry. It had the ability to melt away my anger for some reason.  I still turn it on when I need to defuse some anger from my body!

Day 19- A song from your favourite album

I hate when these posts ask for favourite X, because I can never pick my one and only truly favourite anything. But one album that does come to mind the The Pulp Fiction Soundtrack. I love it as Quentin Tarantino does a good job of picking songs that fit in so well with his films (not just Pulp Fiction) but also because there is a great mix of different songs. In general, I’m not a huge fan of listening to whole albums (I’d rather mix it up a bit) but this is one of the exceptions.

My favourite song from the album is probably the opening song, Misirlou by Dick Dale and his Del-Tones. It is instantly recognizable as ‘that song from Pulp Fiction’. I was surprised to learn that the song is originally a Greek folk song, but I love the surf rock Dick Dale’s version, it’s so happy and dancey. It has a great beat to it, which shown again in the Black Eyed Peas’ song Pump It, which used to be my second most played song on my iPod before the Great iPod Wipe of 2010. Though it seems a lot of people don’t enjoy that version of the song!

The version on the album comes complete with the Pumpkin/Honey Bunny dialogue between Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer, which can also be found on YouTube, but since yesterday’s song was all about the expletives, I’ve gone for a clean version for today!

Day 18- A song that you wish you heard on the radio

So this is going to be a few hours late, but that’s because I went to see the new Harry Potter film!

I’m sure there are loads of songs that I’d like to hear on the radio but I think I’m going to again keep with recent songs. Cee Lo Green’s Fuck You is very popular. But rather it is the radio edit Forget You that is played. I’m not hugely annoyed by the changing of the words, but it would be nice to hear the original of this, and all other censored songs, after the watershed or something. I think it would be a good compromise!

I love the video too, so if you haven’t seen it it’s well worth it. But word of warning, it IS the original so there is cursing!

Day 17- A song you hear often on the radio

I don’t listen to the radio that often. I used to listen to it all the time but then I got an iPod so there was no need. But since I’ve started driving, I never bring my iPod, so I’ve recently been listening to the radio quite a bit. And there’s one song that I just keep on hearing these days: Hollywood by Michael Bublé!

I do love a bit of Bublé, I love the jazzy, Big Band vibe from his songs. This song is one of his own and is really catchy, I can’t help but sing along!

Day 16- A song you used to love but now hate
Make no mistake, I never loved this song but I did enjoy listening to it and sometimes singing along to it. It is a great anthem to sing along to. It was featured in Scrubs when it first was brought to my attention. But then it got used as the final song in The Sopranos and suddenly it was all over the place. The song of is, of course, Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey.
It has become so overplayed these days, especially since Glee covered it in their first episode. It’s such a well loved song that when I say I don’t like it, people look at me like I’ve just said I enjoy killing puppies. It’s a great anthem but when it’s played so much on the radio, there’s only so much I can take. But I’d rather it played every hour on the radio than in a nightclub. You can not dance to it! Or jump around to it like other 80s anthems. When it’s played on a night out (and it’s nearly always played), I take it as time to go get another drink. And pray that it isn’t played a second time later on.

30 Day Music Meme: Day Fifteen

Day 15- A song that describes me

Can just one song perfectly describe someone? I don’t think so. I can’t even think of one song that somewhat describes me. I asked my boyfriend, he first said Firestarter by The Prodigy cos of my fiesty nature. Then he changed his mind and said Lean On Me by Bill Withers as I’m kind and always willing to listen and give advice. I asked my brother and he said Gangsta’s Paradise by Coolio, just because! All valid  choices (except maybe Coolio) but I think one I finally came up with is the best.

One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces by Ben Folds Five is the best I can think of to sum me up. In fact, it was once added to a mixed cd made for me and I was asked not to be offended by it as it perfectly described me. I suppose in a way it does, all my life people have loved to point out how short I am, sometimes in jest, sometimes in a bullying way. I remember going home in tears one day after school when I was nine or ten to my Mum about this and she told me what to say in reply the next day: All good things come in small packages. It actually worked to shut the bullies up. Pity it didn’t work later in life when I was bullied again but that’s where the angry bit comes in and I vowed one day I’d be in a better position to tell them to kiss my ass. Which is what this song is all about!

Day 14- A song that no one would expect you to love

I’ve already confessed my love for 80s music in yesterday’s post, the cheesier the better for me! One iconic piece of 80s pop is Tainted Love by Soft Cell. And while this version has me bopping along to it and clicking my fingers like I was in West Side Story, I prefer Marilyn Manson’s version!

I’m not sure why I like it better, Soft Cell’s version (not the original by the way!) really seems like my ‘thing’. Maybe I prefer Manson’s version as it has much more angst and anger, the way I think a song about tainted love should be sung.

I’m not sure if admitting I like this song (or any of the other Manson songs I like) is truly shocking to people!

While watching this video, I discovered that the actress that plays Lexi Grey in Grey’s Anatomy is in here!

Day 13- A song that is a guilty pleasure

Let it be said that I have no guilty pleasures. At least when it comes to music. I love my music taste, very diverse. I know that is it full of ‘guilty pleasures’. 80s music is one of my favourite genres, I think that says a lot!

I Googled guilty pleasures before writing this and I liked most songs that came up in the search! I think I might start a music post after I’m finished this meme called ‘Songs I like that I shouldn’t’. When watching X Factor’s Guilty Pleasure night a couple of weeks ago, I was amazed at the lack of guilty pleasures! Not enough cheese for my liking. Though one artist that was featured is going to be my guilty pleasure for this post.

Ricky Martin. Oh god do I love his songs! So catchy, so dancey, so cheesy. She Bangs is probably my favourite but Livin’ La Vida Loca is definitely a song from my childhood. I remember my friend had the single and we used to dance around her room to it. I still do that to this day! And the music video with all the dancing is awesome!

Here’s double the guilty pleasure, a live version of Kylie singing with Ricky!

Day 12- A song from a band you hate

The Killers. There, I said it, I don’t like them. That song All These Things That I’ve Done drives me nuts. ‘I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier’, what does it mean?! Bill Bailey does a sketch on this in Tinsel Worm, sums it up much better than I do and tells us the only thing this song is good for is changing those lyrics, his being ‘I’ve got ham but I’m not a hamster’. My current favourite being ‘I’ve got toast but I’m not a toaster’. And that Human song? Don’t get me started!

Anyway, today is about trying to find the positive in this. And while looking through my iPod, I found I have one Killer’s song in there! It being Somebody Told Me. It is a good song to dance to, lots of energy in it!

30 Day Music Meme: Day Eleven

Day 11- A song from your favourite band

I don’t think I could name a favourite band but I’m sure if you asked several of my friends what my favourite is, they would say The Beatles. There are so many songs I love of theirs, the first one I remember listening to was Hey Jude, my first favourite was Can’t Buy Me Love, I played Michelle on repeat until it was played over hundred times, In My Life has a tendency to make me cry, I love the violins on Eleanor Rigby, Piggies reminds me of the second time I went to Prague with my second year college house mates, Rocky Racoon and I Am the Walrus are just fun songs and Yesterday and Blackbird are such simple but utterly beautiful songs. I could go on!

But Twist and Shout brings back such fun memories. It plays a big part in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and one summer’s day, about 3-4 years ago, I was at my friend Cillian’s house, watching this film. When the Twist and Shout scene came on, we got up and danced. And then rewound the scene several times to dance some more. His brother came into the room at one point and walked out shaking his head at how uncool we were! Even if I didn’t have this memory to attach to the song, I would still love it this much. The raspy screaming voice, the way it makes me want to dance and the Liverpudlian accent creeping out slightly from some of the words. Awesome!

Day 10- A song that makes you fall asleep

Under the right conditions, even the most energetic song will make me fall asleep. Over the past four years of travelling to and from college, I have fallen asleep to all sorts of music. I’m not sure if today’s song is supposed to be one that’s so boring it makes you fall asleep or one that genuinely lulls you into sleep. I’m going to choose the latter.

The Amélie Soundtrack by Yann Tiersen is a particularly soothing album. I especially love Soir de fête. It’s a beautiful waltz, almost in round form, with a different instrument coming in as the verse begins again and adding new texture to the verse, making it richer in sounds. It starts with bells and clapping, with the introduction of mandolins, accordions and low whistling sounds and ends beautifully with the music fading to a musical box tinkling Zip-a-dee-doo-dah (from the Disney film ‘Songs of the South’). The song reminds me of childhood, probably because of the musical box and the handclapping. It is such a relaxing and calming song, I have often listened to it, along with the rest of the album, to help empty my mind and aid me to the Land of Nod.

Day 9- A song you can dance to
I love to dance, though as we established on Day 3, I sometimes look ridiculous. It never stops me from dancing, whether on out painting the town red or in my room (and sometimes on the bus, seat dancing is a special talent of mine). And what better to dance to than a bit of disco music. Specifically Blame it on the Boogie by The Jacksons.
I think I first came across this version of the song while going through a cd I got free in a newspaper. I had previously heard it a year before in an amusements arcade. I don’t know what it is, I guess just like Rockin’ Robin and most other songs by The Jackson, it has that magical ability to instantly make me want to dance. I can listen to it on repeat for hours and still want to dance. I suppose if I ever do end up doing that and it makes me late for something, at least I have a good excuse to blame it on the boogie! Badumtish!
This video is awesome by the way!

30 Day Music Meme: Day Eight

Day 8- A song that you know all the words to

Ah, learning the words to songs was just one of those rights of passage as a kid. Getting a new cd, whacking it on full blast and taking out the album sleeve to learn the lyrics. If you were lucky, cd singles would also have the lyrics (I remember one song had both the lyrics AND dance moves too! That was exciting!). It would only take a few plays to know the lyrics by heart. I often wondered why it was easier to learn the words to songs than to retain school work. And that homework should have been in song form to be easier to remember!

These days I’m more likely to search online to figure out tricky lyrics to a song. Which is what I probably did when Gold Digger by Kanye West came out five years ago (was it really five years ago?!How time flies). It came in handy, as it gave me the glorious opportunity to correct a hard core Kanye fan when his lyrics to this were off! It’s the small things that amuse me really.

 

(Also, I was going to write this entry on that Duck Sauce song Barbara Streisand but thought it would be showing off seeing as they’re difficult lyrics to remember)

30 Day Music Meme: Day Seven

Day 7- A song that reminds you of an event

The wonderful thing about music is that it has the incredible power to remind you of someone, some event or some time of your life, just by hearing the first few seconds of that song. That quality therefore makes this another difficult choice to make, when there are so many songs that take me back to a specific event in my life. Seeing as the last two posts weren’t the most cheerful, I decided to pick a song from my youth (in other words, when I was 18).

Man Eater by Nelly Furtado doesn’t really seem like a huge memory song. But it brings me back to the summer of 2006, the year I finished secondary school and finished my Leaving Cert. And more importantly it reminds me of my debs. A debs, for anyone that doesn’t know, is Ireland’s equivalent to the prom. So essentially a night of fancy dresses, suits, dinners, dancing and drinking! The dance floor was busy enough just before this started playing but within 3 seconds of it starting, the floor was mobbed. Mainly by my guy friends dragging this one particular lad up onto the dance floor as it was ‘his song’. I think I stood there in amazement to see boys excited about this song, when I think of it more of a girly song! Plenty of other songs remind me of this night but this song shines out!

30 Day Music Meme: Day Six

Day 6- A song that reminds you of somewhere

This is has been the hardest so far, not because I have so many songs to choose from but because I can’t think a place and a song that I associate with it. One off events are coming to mind instead (so much so that I already have tomorrow’s post finished). At last though, I found something that fits!

When I was in TY (Transition Year), we went on a school tour to Prague. Big song at the time was Toxic by Britney Spears. When I hear the song, I remember the snow, the beautiful old buildings, the castle, the history, the dramas, everything about that trip comes flooding back. Especially the dancing in the hotel rooms to the music video on the TV. Well, it was either watch that or else watch The Simpson in German!

Day 5 – A song that reminds you of someone

Again, this is a hard one to pick. So many songs remind me of people. But tying in with yesterday’s sad theme, I’m going to choose a song that reminds me of someone who’s passed away.

Israel "IZ" KaÊ»anoÊ»i KamakawiwoÊ»ole’s version of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ was played at my cousin’s funeral three years ago and I still tear up to this day when I hear it. I found it hard to listen to while writing this, it’s still so raw. It was used in a lot of advertisements on TV in the past year or so and every time I heard one come on, I had to turn it over. But when I do stop to think about the lyrics, the happy images remind me of my cousin. The song is beautiful too, the gentle strumming of ukulele and Israel’s soft gentle voice. The song should really be a happy one but I’ve always found it sad, even when listening Judy Garland’s version.

30 Day Music Meme: Day Four

Day 4- A song that makes you sad

So many songs make me. Some are because I associate it with a person in my life that has died. Some are just because the music or lyrics describe how I feel better than I can myself. So it was hard to pick one song for this day.

Clocks by Coldplay makes me sad as the music is so haunting, like many Coldplay songs. I think I enjoy listening to Coldplay when I’m in a melancholy mood. I’m of the belief that it’s ok to feel sad sometimes, it’s a natural emotion. I don’t think it’s healthy to dwell on it for too long though, just like most emotions really. But the music or lyrics isn’t just why I chose this song. It’s also because it reminds me of my grandmother. I had bought the single on CD and used to play it on loop on my Discman when going to visit her in a hospice, just before she died in 2003. So this song holds many bittersweet memories for me.

According to an article on MTV, the song is about the ‘helplessness of being in a dysfunctional relationship that you don’t necessarily want to escape’. And that’s kinda how I feel when listening to this song. It can be painful to remember the sad memories connected to this but at the same time I don’t want to stop listening. It’s such a beautiful song and I love the lyrics. The title even serves to remind me that as time goes on, so must life. The good and the bad.

 

(As of posting this, the playcount of this video alone is near 15 million. Just goes to prove how good a song it is!)

30 Day Music Meme: Day Three

Day 3- A song that makes you happy

There’s a few songs that always make me happy. Rockin’ Robin by Michael Jackson is one of them. It just makes me so happy, it’s infectiously cheerful or something. I think it’s because it’s seems like such a great song to jive to. The second it starts playing it makes me bob my head, clap my hands, click my fingers and shrug my shoulders. Sometimes it makes me tuck my hands under my armpits and a do a ‘chicken dance’ move. And it always makes me smile.

I played the song before writing this blog entry, to get a feel for it and started doing the dance moves. Which made my boyfriend laugh at how ridiculous I look. Ya, I knew before then that I looked ridiculous but who looks good doing the chicken dance?! It’s a good thing it makes me so happy that I don’t care how I look

Day 2- Your Least Favourite Song

When I first started writing this entry, I thought ‘Well, if I don’t have a favourite song, then surely I don’t have a least favourite?’. There’s songs that annoy me but I try not to dwell on those, for the good of my health. I couldn’t turn to my iPod to find a least favourite. If I can’t stand it, there’s no way it’s going on my iPod. I tried thinking of songs my Mum used to play in the car that I hated. And while I’m sure there’s loads, I think I’ve managed to block out those traumatic memories. After wracking my brain for hours, I finally thought of one.

San Diego Song by The Coronas. It’s like nails on a chalk board. Jagged nails on a dusty chalk board. Thinking about it makes me shudder. While I can block out songs that annoy me or ignore them, this one makes me angry. It makes me want to punch someone. I don’t know why. Their style music, whiny indie rock, is something I don’t really enjoy listening to. They’re good singers and talented but this song just really gets on my goat. When I was on work placement, my housemate would drive us to work and play this every now and again. And I used to sit in silence clenching my fists and jaw, praying for the song to be over. I think I need to stop thinking about this or else I might have heart attack from the rage building up! Now you can see why I don’t tend to dwell on songs I don’t like!

30 Day Music Meme: Day One

Day 1- Your Favourite Song

I’m not sure I have a favourite favourite song. It all depends on the mood I’m in. I could have a favourite that lasts a few days, then the next song that becomes my favourite could be it for months. I like so many styles of music I don’t even know if I could pick my favourite genre. Again, it all depends on my current mood.

When I first looked at the list of categories for this meme a month or so ago, I thought I’d go by iPod play counts to try help me choose songs. But then remembered that due to my old laptop crashing and having to reload all my songs onto the new laptop, my play counts had been wiped. I don’t remember many of my top played song, but I do remember the top played song. And it’s the one I’m going to choose. Could It Be Magic by Take That. I know the original is by Barry Manilow, but it just doesn’t do it for me. The Take That one though, it always makes me happy when I hear it. I could listen to it on repeat without ever getting bored. In fact, I have done that, which probably contributed to it it being played over 700 times on my iPod.

I don’t know why I love this song so much, probably because it reminds me of my childhood. I was just old enough to remember Take That when I was younger, but I remember more the later days, just before they broke up. I heard this song years later though and it, along with other Take That songs I had forgotten, just flooded my mind with childhood memories. Not specific memories, more just general childhood feelings.

I had to put this on while writing this. And I can’t help but dance in my seat! And while I’m not particularly partial to the Barry Manilow version, I am keen on the version Leona Lewis sang on The X Factor. She sings it with so much emotion, but it still makes me want to dance. I enjoy this version so much that it was also in my Top 5 Most Played on iTunes. Maybe it is my most favourite favourite song ever then!
