Almost Gold Star: "Born To Run" by Bruce Springsteen. See below:

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
Well run till we drop, baby well never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`cause baby Im just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real

Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybodys out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
Together wendy well live with the sadness
Ill love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when were gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and well walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run

Hidden Gem : "Blue Eyes" by Cary Brothers


Best Lyrics of the day: "I Can Make You Feel It" by Home Video.

She said she doesn't like it here, left everything back home
She was lost and bitter, broken and alone
She said she drinks too much, to make the nights go by
She was barely conscious, breathing through a straw
She held my hand and kissed my lips
She begged me to help her feel
And I said
I can make you feel it

She said she was a person before they brought her down
She was better than this dark relentless town
She had another lover who kept her in a cage
She had sold her future and buried who she was
And I said
I can make you feel it

Oh to touch the people, to really feel them

I can make you feel it


Redemption award: "Half Of My Heart" by John Mayer & Taylor Swift. I kind of hated this song when i first heard Mayer's new album. But today, today i kind of like it. A lot. Well done John. Redeemed.


90's tune of the day: "If You Could Only See" by Tonic


Totally random unrelated news update: I just found out through wikipedia that Jamie Lee Curtis is Jake Gyllenhaal's godmother. RANDOM. And fantastic. Because it means when i finally chase down Jake and marry him Jamie Lee will be my Fairy Godmother-in-law. Win.

Pre indoor plumbing award: "Jack and Jill" by Kim Richey. This one is sweet. Hear it here.

Seriously Guys? award: "Muskrat Love" by America. Okay.... hang on.... MUSKRATS? really? wow. ive always hated this song because its about FUCKING MUSKRATS, but thought it might be a metaphor or have a fun back story. I googled it. i wiki-ed it. it doesnt. It really is a song about two muskrats in love. Stupid... so stupid...

"Muskrat, muskrat candlelight (what exactly is muskrat candlelight?)
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam (Sam as in Samantha? nice.)
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny (anerexia is nothing to joke about America. come on)

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango (Jango Fett, bounty hunter featured in Star Wars: Episode II and father of Boba Fett??)
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese (high cholesterol. very unhealthy. But Sam's just gonna puke it up later)
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?" (they must live in CT, MA, VT, NH, or IO)
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy (dirty)
Rubbin' her toes (kinky)
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes (freaky)
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle (this is wildly inappropriate and disturbing)

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love" (im angry)

yeah, i posted the entire song. just because i needed you to see what i mean when i ask WHAT THE FUCK America?? Wtf.


My heart's theme song of the day: "Criminal" by Fiona Apple. So as i was typing this post i started to realize how badass a name like "Fiona Apple" is. I decided it couldnt be real. Turns out i was half right - her full name is Fiona Apple McAfee Maggart. It was a good call to drop the Maggart, but she could have had fun with McAfee. Like, Fiona Apple-Mac, or Mac Mamma Apple, or any combination of Apple and Mac. I think she really missed out on possible Apple Computer endorsements. Anyway, the song is breathtakingly honest. Lyrics here.


Turn it up (to drown out my attempts at Dion greatness) song of the day: "Taking Chances" by Glee. I had never really listened to the Celine Dion version of this song. When i heard Lea Michelle do it on Glee i fell in love. I already wanted to bone Rachel, but this song sealed the deal. Mmmm. MMMM.



Gold Star: "The Two Of Us" by 'N Sync. I love the whole Celebrity ablum, but this might be one of my top 4 tracks from it. It is so effing cute!!! Plus it has amazing vocals and a phat beat. Check it. (right click and chose "save target as" or "download linked file")

"Girl when we started baby we were friends
But that's not how this fairy tale is gonna end
See I was thinking then it clicked one day
That no one else has ever made me feel this way
The next time I saw you girl I knew I had to try
To tell you everything that I was feeling deep inside
And listen good cause what I say is from my heart
So if you're ready"

read the rest here.


Bionic Man gone wrong award: "Heart Of Glass" by Blondie. Okay so im not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but one day while jamming to this Mia Nicole Taylor and i realized we had NO FUCKING CLUE what the lyrics were (sans "Heart of Glass"). We thought about looking it up but realized it was more fun that way. So every time i hear the chorus i sing something like "Somme sah roe, melet roe be gad.... sum cho nah.... my heart of glass" Im pretty sure its pretty accurate.

Hidden Gem: "The Cold, the Dark & the Silence" by Sea Wolf. Amazing. You need to hear this.


Please don't lie, don't lie to me
that you're not afraid, my love.
I know you well enough to know
you can't be alone.

If you were to roll, to roll down your window
you'd find the wind, the ice, the trees
that sway like skeletons outside.

But when the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it's like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs.


Golden oldie song of the day: "Mr.Sandman" by The Chordettes. Ahhh! i love it! its such a classic. Great 3 part female harmony. Fun concept. Im into it. I actually was 1/3 of a trio of girls who sang this in my junior high choir's christmas concert. Yeah. I know you already read about it on my IMDB page but i was just reminding you.


Statutory award: "Barely Legal" by The Strokes. I love this whole CD. The title reminds me that in 9 days i turn 21. WTF? It seems like just yesterday i was embedding music videos from HSM, Good Burger, and Doug into my blog. Oh wait...


Beautiful in every way song of the day: "Delicate" by Damien Rice. The guitar, the strings, the lyrics, the vocals, the meaning. Beautiful.

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known?
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you?
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known?
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you?
Why do you sing with me at all?



Annoying TV Show theme song award: "I'll Be There For You" by The Rembrandts. OH EM GEE! Its the theme song for Friends! That show about a group of friends! Hahaha! YAY! lets be unrealistically attractive and witty and typecasted and go dance around in fountains. YAY. fun. blaaaah.


Pregaming song of the day: "After Midnight" by Eric Clapton. I used to play this song as i was getting ready to go out in culinary school. I was such a hippie. Who else gets ready for parties to Eric Clapton?

Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


Nickelodeon Award: "Killer Tofu" by The Beets. Who doesnt love "The Beets," a spoof band from the hit kid's show Doug? Check out the song here. And for something even more amazing, i give you....




Inappropriate song for a gambling addiction hot line commercial: "Bet On It" by Troy. Okay so confession time - i love this song (shocking). My sister and i found this spoof and its totally ruined the seriousness of the scene for me. Enjoy:

Disco Jam of the day: "Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston.


Three pink floyd songs in one day... im feeling kinda tripped out.


I miss missmarciemassacre song of the day: "Guess God Thinks I'm Abel" by Oasis. This was our song :( i miss you girl.

I could be your lover,
You could be all mine.
We go on for ever,
'Till the end of time.
You could be my best friend
Stay up all night long
You could be my railroad
We go on and on.

Let's get along
Theres nothing here to do
Let's go find a Rainbow
I could be wrong
But what am i to do
I guess god thinks i'm Abel.


Overplayed on the radio song of the day: "I Dare You" by Shinedown. You know, i still really like this song even though it was overdone.


Life's hard when you are half african-american, half limestone award: "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" by The Temptations. Get it? He is half limestone... cuz his papa was a rolling stone.... haha? no? just me? k.


Gold Star: "Days Go By" by Dirty Vegas. This is a dance song from the 2001 with some seriously powerful lyrics. Download it if you cant remember it. And try out this acoustic version, which is nice but i miss the bass beat of the original. I can play this on repeat for a long time and not even notice.

You are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin

You leave me when I'm at my worst
Feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you
Without you

Old school throwback song of the day (here's a little old school for ya- it goes a little somethin like this) (that was for you Schen): "Fill Me In" by Craig David. I love this song. It seemed so clever to me as a kid.... sigh. Oh youth haha.


Genius song lyrics of the day: "Ishq Grindin' (RDB mix)" by Lehmber Hussainpuri. The first line?

"Whats the size of them rims on that car n**ger ahhhh? It dont get more ghetto than this"

genius.


Gold Star: "Can I Have This Dance?" by High School Musical 3. Okay, okay, this may be a shock because i am so COOL, but i am a huge HSM fan. I saw the third movie in theatres and sort of maybe cried to this song. Just a little. After that i was hooked. See adorable slash ridiculously unrealistic scene below:


FUCK YOU VANESSA


So good RIGHT??!?! right!? total gold star.


Thanks Bailee award: "Paper Planes"by M.I.A. She introduced me to this song on a car ride to state AGES ago. I was cracking up at her little baby Bailee hands making guns and ka-ching signs. Then a few months later i heard it on the radio and knew all the words. I seemed cool. It is one of the few times i liked a new song or artist BEFORE they went viral. Thanks Bails for helping keep my rep up yo!


Almost Gold Star: "The Kill (live)" by 30 Seconds to Mars. It may have won gold star, but its just sooooo emo. Especially since its the live acoustic version. listen here. (HOW HOT IS JARED LETO????? omg. He gets my heart's gold star of today... mmmm)


Summer jam '09 song of the day: "Ghost Town" by Shiny Toy Guns. This was the first song i heard on my kick ass car stereo... It sounded like it would blow out the speakers. If you like anything loud and awesome download this track.

My theme song of the day: "Good Girls Go Bad" by Cobra Starship feat. Leighton Meester. Leighton Meester plays Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl (for those of you who arent 14 year old high school students like me). AKA she is my dream crush of the month. Ahhh Blair. This song has lyrics that i can finally identify with you know?

I Know Your Type
Your Daddy’s Little Girl
Just Take A Bite (One Bite)
Let Me Shake Up Your World
Cause Just One Night,
Couldn’t Be So Wrong
I’m Gonna Make You Lose Control

She Was So Shy
Till I Drove Her Wild
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad
You were hanging In the corner with your five best friends
You heard that i was trouble but you couldn't resist
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad

Moral of the story? See my MTV special "True Life: Im a playa." Word.


Welcome To Good Burger Award: "We're All Dudes" by Less Than Jake featuring Kel Mitchell. DUDES! its the Im a Dude song! From Good Burger! The spin-off of the fantastic All That skit! WOO HOO!! Fun fact - i once sat in our dumbwaiter-turned-small-closet in the dark for over an hour listening to this song on repeat. Singing along, Smooshed against dresses and coats. For an hour. And this was seen as normal Erica behavior (still is lol).




Gold Star: "When the Stars Go Blue" by Tim McGraw. I once read that the stars going blue is a metaphor for when the world will end. This is one of my favorite love songs because of that.


Ughhh we get it already award: "Gotta Serve Somebody" by Bob Dylan. This one is a little repetitive. He is very insistant that you are going to have to serve somebody. He says it 21 times in 5 minutes. Excessive much?

Prop 8 song of the day: "California On My Mind" by Wild Light. The beginning of this song sums up my PP8D (post-Prop 8 depression) pretty well:

Give me a lake that I can dive into
Bury my head in the shit at the bottom
Fuck today
Fuck San Francisco
Fuck California

This was a regular on the rotation of music at 1921 Restaurant. (I made the kitchen mix CDs). Mandi and i loved this one, usually on the days that werent going so well. I also want someone to make a montage of horrible "The O.C."a clips to this song. Lemme know when its finished and ill post it on here yeah? Cool.

My theme song of the day: "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry. I love this song and all of its side-of-the-road glory. Its trashy. AKA sexy. And i love it.


Not too bad award: "No Souvenirs" by Melissa Etheridge. Another surprising win from Ms. Etheridge. How about some of these lines?

But if you want me you can call me
In the night you know where I'll be
Broken lover you can touch me
In the dark the innocent can't see
You lock it up now hide the key
It would mean surrender to let me see
Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover
You fell alone like no other lover
Burn the pictures break the records
Run far away to a northern town
Sell your fear and leave me standing here
With no souvenirs

I kinda dig it - nice job kid.


Office Supplies song of the day: "Evident Utensil" by Chairlift. Its none other than a pencil. But when i see the name all i can think is... are you a fork, knife, or spoon?



Gold Star: "Please Forgive Me" by David Gray. I used to listen to this song every night when i laid down to sleep. Even now when the first verse starts i can feel tears grow. The lyrics are so gut-wrenching, so easily sympathized with. Every word is one i long to say to someone somewhere. Read them here, and i recommend downloading this one. It may come in handy someday.


Cream my jeans award: "That's The Way Love Goes" by 'N Sync. Um... this is a sexy ass song and video. They covered Janet Jackson's hit for a tribute back in 2001. Ive had the track since then and never get tired of it. Make sure to watch Justin's face during "Oh sugar don't you hurry." AAAAAND cream. Sigh. Me mucho gusto, Senor Timberlake. Mucho. (shhh i didnt pay attention is high school spanish so i know that is probably horribly wrong. Just go with it).


Goodbye Asheville Anthem: "Orion Town 2" by Frontier Ruckus. First line? "Im going home im smoking my last cigarette." This was the first track on a Goodbye North Carolina mix i made for the long haul home. I put in the disc and had this blasting right as we pulled out of Parkway Crossing. R.I.P. Asheville memories.


Listen to this at least once before you die song of the day: "Riot, Please" by Snow Patrol. I love the polite song title. Its fun to use good manners beside a verb like "riot". Listen here.



Yay for ceramics song of the day: "Porcelain" by Moby. Great song. The video is definitely something to watch while tripping on acid. Like seriously, what the fuck moby? see below:




Surprisingly Emotive Justin Timberlake song of the day: "Never Again" by Justin Timberlake. Once you get past the bad stock room melody and overdone falsetto, its kind of an okay song. Kind of being the key word.

Wonder Years Award: "With A Little Help From My Friends" by Joe Cocker



Great country song of the day: "Summertime" by Kenny Chesney. Did you know its a smile, a kiss, and a sip of wine? True story.


Amazing lyrics of the day: "Visions Of Johanna" by Bob Dylan
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bobdylan/visionsofjohanna.html

Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles


Bad song to have as the on-hold music of a plastic surgeon's office: "Scar That Never Heals" by Jeremy Fisher. This song is great!! i put it on peoples mixes a lot because i love the opening few chords. It makes a great first song. Plus it has some seriously dark sentimentality mingled in with all the doo-wap soft rock harmonies.

I done too much damage
Got nothing left to feel
My self is broke and bandaged
Her love is a scar that never heals

Why you wanna save me?
Lord my soul is shaken
Why you wanna save me?
Lord my soul is taken


Gold Star: "I'm Bound to Pack it Up" by The White Stripes. This is my favorite White Stripes song. I always have been a sucker for strings sections and acoustic guitars. I think i used to identify with this song in the past moreso than i do now. But the sentiment is a hard one, because it can feel so true. Enjoy.

Slushie Award: "Push It" by Glee.


Gold Star: "Eye to Eye" by Goofy Movie. Remember this one? they sing it at the end with the famous singer guy This song is actually amazing

Got myself a notion.
One I know that you'll understand
Set the world in motion
By reaching out for each other's hands

Maybe we'll discover
What we should've known all along(Yeah)
One way or another
Together's where we both belong.

If we listen to each other's hearts.
We'll find we're never too far apart.
And maybe love is the reason why,
for the 1st time ever we're seeing it eye to eye.


fantastic yeah?


Super badass award: "Danger ! High Voltage" by Electric Six. So i heard this on the Charlie's Angels 2 soundtrack and fell in love. Jack White plays on this track, so mega bonus. Its about a desire so strong it starts fires with its shockwaves. Sexy.

"Danger Danger, High Voltage
When we touch, when we kiss, when we touch"


Turn it up and cry while driving in the rain song of the day: "Timothy" by JET. Its depressing. But so good.

Throwback award: "Ride Wit Me" by Nelly. Where they at? Nelly is MY BOY. See below:

In the club on the late night, feelin right
Lookin tryin to spot somethin real nice
Lookin for a little shorty hot and horny so that I can take home
(I can take home)
She can be 18 (18) wit an attitude
or 19 kinda snotty actin real rude
Boo, as long as you a thicky thicky thick girl you know that it's on
(Know that it's on)
I peep something comin towards me up the dance floor
Sexy and real slow (hey)
Sayin she was peepin and I dig the last video
So when Nelly, can we go; how could I tell her no?
Her measurements were 36-25-34
Yellin I like the way you brush your hair
And I like those stylish clothes you wear
I like the way the light hit the ice and glare
And I can see you moving way over there

yeah. ya heard? uh. word.


Best song to listen to while breaking a diet song of the day: "Sugar Never Tasted So Good" by The White Stripes.


Gold Star: "Because" by The Beatles. This wins the gold star because it is the a capella version from The Beatles Anthology disc 3. At the end of my funeral service, right before they take my coffin out of the church, i want this song to be blasted in its entirety. I just want everyone to sit still and quiet and take in this track. Right that down and totally make it happen for me, yeah? Alright cool. thanks. There is a great inside story to my love of this song too.... ask me about it in person and ill tell it lol

Ballad of the day: "That's Where It Is" by Carrie Underwood. I hate that i love this.

In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is,
That's where it is


Rooted in history song of the day: "Shankill Butchers" by The Decemberists. Its a neat story.... about a murderous gang in Ireland. Sweet right? Its told as though its a bedtime lullaby warning children to

mind their mother's words

. I wiki-ed the song title and check it out:

The Shankill Butchers is the name given to a loyalist gang, many of whom were members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF). The gang conducted paramilitary activities in Belfast, Northern Ireland during the 1970s. It was most notorious for its late-night abduction, torture and murder (by throat slashing) of random Catholic civilians. The Shankill Butchers killed at least 30 people (including a significant number of Protestants) in sectarian attacks, paramilitary feuds, personal grudges and bombing raids. Despite extensive police resources being channelled towards the capture of those responsible, a wall of silence, created by a mixture of fear and respect in the Shankill community, provided few leads that could be followed.

There you go. History lesson of the day, with musical accompaniment to boot. I know, im pretty cool.


Best combo of the day: "The Clicker (For The Maggie Fans)" by Kathy Griffin and "Oprah's Favorite Things" by Kathy Griffin. She effing cracks me up. Hahaha Ugg boots in Macon, Georgia. Oprah is fucking crazy.


Hidden Gem: "Smoke and Mirrors" by The Audition. I just found this one and already love it. Im gonna blast it in my car all day long. check it out.


Coolest video of the day: "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia. I cant decide what i love more - the lyrics, the clothes, or natalie. mmmm. please enjoy this flashback moment with me:


Wheres the part where she lies naked on the floor dammit?!


Gold Star: "A Praise Chorus" by Jimmy Eat World. This song pretty much gets the gold for sampling from "Crimson and Clover." I know Joan Jett didnt do the original but her version is my favorite. I posted the whole thing below because its THAT good.

Are you going to live your life wondering
Standing in the back, looking around
Are you going to waste your time thinking
How you've grown up or how you missed out
Things are never going be the way you want
Where's it going to get you acting serious
Things are never going to be quite what you want
Even at twenty-five you got to start sometime

I'm on my feet
I'm on the floor
I'm good to go
And all I need is just to hear a song I know
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I wanna fall in love tonight

Are you going to live your life
Standing in the back, looking around
Are you going to waste your time
Oughta make a move or you'll miss out

Someone's going to ask you what it's all about
Stick around, nostalgia won't let you down
Someone's going to ask you what it's all about
What are you going to have to say for yourself

I'm on my feet
I'm on the floor
I'm good to go
And all I need is just to hear a song I know
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I wanna fall in love tonight

Crimson and clover
Over and over
Crimson and clover
Over and over

Our house in the middle of the street
Why did we ever meet
Started my rock 'n' roll fantasy
Don't don't, don't let's start
Why did we ever part
Kick start my rock 'n' rollin' heart

I'm on my feet
I'm on the floor
I'm good to go
So come on Davey, sing me something that I know
I want to always feel like part of this was mine
I want to fall in love tonight
You don't know
I wanna fall in love tonight
You don't know
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I wanna fall in love tonight
I wanna fall in love tonight
I wanna fall in love tonight

Cuteness award: "Come On Get Higher" by Matt Nathanson


Pass me that dictionary over there song of the day:: "When The War Came" by The Decemberists. I like the song a lot and think there are some great metaphors but.... uh...

We mae made our oath to Vavilov
We'd not betray the solanum
The acres of asteraceae
To our own pangs of starvation

Really? We get it, you know big words. Thanks Decemberists.


Hidden Gem: "Camilo" by State Radio


Moulin Rougue wannabe video awrad: "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers. I mean, come on:



Right? right.


Wow... long song award: "American Pie" by Don McLean. I saw him do this song!!! For real! He came to the State Theatre during arts fest '07. Totally went by myself since i was already over there with my rents and they wanted to see a movie. (WOW, im cool). He did this as his encore and you could tell he HATED it haha. He was actually kind of an asshole. Im not surprised. I found a website explaining this song line by line, and while im tempted to link it, im not going to. Because it ruined the song for me. The mystery is gone. Santa Claus is dead. Its for your own good.


Pour my heart out lyrically song of the day: "Here Is Gone" by Goo Goo Dolls.

And I want to get free
Talk to me
I can fear you falling
And I won't tempt to be
All you need
Somehow here is gone


Gold Star: "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver. You need to download this song. Its tragic (in a good way). Hands down gold star, which is saying something considering all the five stars i had. Good job Bon Iver slash good job mallo.

Hidden Gem: "Carolina" by Matt Wertz. Its super cute.


Cover of the day: "Time After Time" by Quietdrive. LOVE IT!


OMG lets dance! award: "Hung Up" by Madonna. OOOOKAAY. So i went to Mamma Mia at the Eishenhower and have had "Gimme Gimme Gimme" stuck in my head since. Its a great disco song by Abba. Well i realized that Madonna sampled it for "Hung Up." It is weird that this comes up on my playlist 2 days later right? right.


Gold Star: "Dancing In The Dark" by Bruce Springsteen. These lyrics are some of the best ive ever had the privledge to sing along to. It expresses such a relatable sentiment. Its worth reading them without the blaring cheesy 80's synth in the background. I think the meaning is sometimes lost in the music. Check them out:

I get up in the evening
and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
even if we're just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
come on baby this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
come on now baby gimme just one look

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey baby


Best 90's Dance Pop Hit Ever of the day: "Another Night" by Real McCoy. Im having a TON of 90's song come up today and i like it. This is one you might not remember by name, but in the first 4 piano notes you will remember it. fantastic.


Loved it even before Glee award: "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones. I used to find comfort in this song during my classic rock music phase. Then Glee did a great job with it and renewed my love for the original. Plus im a sucker for rock songs backed by choirs.




More to come tomorrow.

Cute Country song of the day: "Little Moments" by Brad Paisley. I know its sweet how Brad handles his train wreck woman, but if bitch burnt a cake on the same day she fucked up my car it would not be okay with me. You know me and my anger issues though... Me and Chris Brown like our women obedient.


Gold star: "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit. This is the one that starts with the fire alarm guitar riff. Dont remember it? Refresh your memory here. And the crowd goes "ooooooh, THAT song!" haha it was a main jam at the restaurant for a while, me and Cody would blast it. Because it is basically the story of our lives:


Can we forget about the things I said
When I was drunk
I didn't mean to call you that
I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me
Please tell me, please tell me Why
My car is in the front yard,
And I'm Sleeping with my clothes on
Came in through the window last night
And your gone
Gone

LIFE. STORY.

Best song title of the day song of the day: "Ann Coulter's Snatch" by Hamell on Trial. Hahahaha. Snatch.


Gold Star: "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" by Bill Withers. I love this song, but i think i prefer Kris Allen's version (gasp!). No matter which one i hear though it pulls at me. There is such a deep remorse and sense of hopelessness in his voice... its haunting and beautiful. I feel like this would be fun to pair up against "Total Eclipse of the Heart" haha. Get it? Cuz the sunshine is gone? no? not funny? k. moving on....


Old School Bus jam of the day slash Brave New Word award: "Soma" by The Strokes. I used to jame to The Strokes' self titled debut on my morning bus rides to high school. This was a fav. Then we read Brave New World in AP English and the drug they all take is Soma. I basically had this song stuck in my head for the entire 3 weeks we covered the novel, It was awesome lol.


Thanks mallo! award: "Hair " by The Early November. SUCH a good song! This should be everyone's hidden gem today. Listen here, download here, and lemme know what you think!
