January

The first day of February is a great time to update my play count for the year. As I was just talking about the movie High Fidelity the other day, I figure a Top Five list is in order.

5. Tik Tok- Ke$ha (9 plays).

I blame this one on iTunes. I had never heard of her until I saw she had something like 3 out of the top five downloaded singles one day last month. This song is kinda like crack when it gets in my head.

Aint got a care in the world
But got plenty of BEER
Aint got no money in my pocket
But I'm already here
And now the dudes are lining up
Cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb
Unless they look like Mick Jagger

I'm talkin bout
Everybody getting crunk (crunk)
Boys try to touch my junk (junk)
Gonna smack em if they gettin too drunk (drunk)
Night night we going till they kick us out (out)
The police shut us down (down)
Police shut us down (down)
Po po shut us (DOWN)

4. Beyond the Sea- Bobby Darin (10 plays).

So this may be a 'WTF?' entry....but I just love this song.

Somewhere beyond the sea
somewhere waiting for me
my lover stands on golden sands
and watches the ships that go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
she's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
then straight to her arms
I'd go sailin'

It's far beyond the stars
it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
my heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
we'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
and never again I'll go sailin'

3. Bad Romance- Lady Gaga (11 plays).

My annual Xmas eve trip to Somerset resulted in this song getting stuck in my head....and me finally succumbing to the Lady Gaga hype.

I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it’s free
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

I want your drama
The touch of your head
I want you leather studed kiss in the scene
I want your love
love-love-love
I want your love

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad
Bad romance

I want your loving
And I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your loving
All your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

I want your horror
I want your design
‘Cause you’re a criminal
As long as your mine
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

I want your psycho
Your vertical stick
Want you in my rear window
baby your sick
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad
Bad romance

2. Can't Escape My Love- Enrique Iglesias (12 plays).

What a difference a few years make. Enrique played the halftime show for the Thanksgiving game at the Silverdome in 2001. I booed him mercilessly while he sang "Hero"....then this song came out and I actually liked it. Dammit.

Soon you'll be finding
You can run, you can hide,
But you can't escape my love

1. Ride to California- Paper Tongues (23 plays).

I simply can't get enough of this song. It's been my top played song since I got it a couple months ago.

Going going going to the man in the back
Cut the line if you feel me
Let me hear you say it one more time
I´ve set mind to break free
Now my body is getting loose
while I´ll sinking like a dancing tree

I've been up but I ain't down
I've been lost but now I´m found
I need to leave this for sure
If you got another seat on the bus
Would you let me go
