Sing, Sing a DLS Song

My husband knows four songs - really just four.

They are in no particular order:

1) The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
He sings this in the style of Bob Dylan.

2) Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Once, when I returned from a trip AE and I had the following exchange:

Mom: How did things go when Mommy was gone?
AE: Fine.
Mom: Did daddy sing you goodnight?
AE: Yes.
Mom: Really? What did he sing to you?

She paused and began to sing, "She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean..."

Nice.

3) Oh, Tannebaum
Only in German. Go figure.

4) This little tune...

All I will say is that it has been a long 17 years, think it is about time to get him some new tunes. I sure hope his song retention does not portend any serious issues which will arise when we are in our 80s.

I feel your pain. Jamie's favorite holiday song, the one he sings all the time is: Melakaliki Maka is the thing to say on a bright Hawaian Christmas Day..."

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

What's your playlist?

Over the holidays I began the task of cleaning out my iPod. Some of the music I am proud to say I listen to and then there are the cringe worthy tunes I am too embarrassed to admit. In all there are 2,789 songs on my iPod (down from 3,643). I am amazed, how could I possibly listen to or know nearly 4,000 songs? Obviously the iPod has taken on a life of its own. While scrolling through the bazillion songs I began to think about all of these Celebrity playlists out on iTunes which are supposed to define who the person is in song and how the music shaped their lives. Some of the lists are lame and try to make the person sound more interesting and deeper than who they really are. Other lists have introduced me to music I would have never listened to before which I love, plus they sometimes give you a glimpse to moments in their lives. I am going to give my non-celebrity, hopefully non-lame playlist a shot. Thanks for letting me indulge. Here is my life (so far) in song: Dancing Queen - AB
