I filched this from Tracey ~ a friend who has exquisite taste in music.
Today begins my 30-day challenge...a SONG challenge, at that! I do believe this is perfect for me :)
And here we go...!
day 01 (3.09) - your favorite song - Sweet Sweet Baby by Lone Justice
day 02 (3.10) - your least favorite song - Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles
day 03 (3.11) - a song that makes you happy - Roll with the Changes by REO Speedwagon
day 04 (3.12) - a song that makes you sad - At Seventeen by Janis Ian
day 05 (3.13) - a song that reminds you of someone - What a Fool Believes by the Doobie Bros. (there are loads of these...the problem was how to choose just one...went with the one that elicited the strongest feeling & memory)
day 06 (3.14) - a song that reminds you of somewhere - Highway 5 by the Blessing
day 07 (3.15) - a song that reminds you of a certain event - I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys (as performed by Robin Wilson of the Gin Blossoms)
day 08 (3.16) - a song that you know all the words to - oh, not to brag, but the list of songs I know all the words to is quite long. So, I'm listing 2: Rapper's Delight by Sugar Hill Gang ~ the first song I remember learning all the words to. Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC ~ totally bragging because I know this song in sign language, too. Performed this with the ASL class I taught at Birmingham HS in Van Nuys.
day 09 (3.17) - a song that you can dance to - Geez! This, like day 08, could be a 30-day list unto itself. How in the world am I going to choose just one? Whenever I think of dancing, my first thought is the 2nd Friday Night Dances in Orange County with my girls from the tall club. We had some great times and forged wonderful relationships. So, for today, a song I can dance to: Dance With Me by Peter Brown, Dancing Queen by ABBA and Black Velvet by Alannah Miles.
