Really, you don't have to read this one. This is just something I was thinking about on the way home tonight: the soundtrack of my life. Not necessarily songs that represent me, but songs I love enough to have played at my funeral. Or maybe just before, at the pre-funeral party (so I'm alive for it). Those songs that get turned up really loud in the car and make me miss my exit.
But like every mix tape I've ever made anyone, this is like maturbation. It's really just fun for me, so you don't have to watch. Er, I mean...read. :blush
Hmm...Becky Mix. Ok.
Bring Me Some Water...Melissa Etheridge (good times...)
Wild Thing...Tone Loc (shut the hell up, you weren't supposed to read this far anyway)
Kiss Off...Violent Femmes (yummy middle school crushes)
There's a Tear in My Beer...Hank Williams (nod to redneck heritage)
The Safety Dance...Men Without Hats (yay, the 80s!)
Total Eclipse of the Heart...Bonnie Tyler (yay, the 80s!)
I Hate Myself for Loving You...Joan Jett & The Blackhearts (ok, ok, stop with the 80s)
Flower...Liz Phair (perfect for the time in my life that I found it)
She's In Love With the Boy...Trisha Yearwood (country is my little guilty pleasure)
I Build This Garden for Us...Lenny Kravitz (I could live in this song)
7...Prince (If you haven't seen Ike dance to this, you haven't lived)
I Am a Rock...Simon & Garfunkel (I sang this to Jake as a lullaby when he was a newborn...)
I'm Good At Being Bad...TLC (I only wish I was that cool)
Last Dance...Cure (a nod to slow songs)
My Baby Just Cares for Me...Nina Simone
Ok, that's a good length for a soundtrack, I guess. It doesn't include everything, of course, but it's getting later and later. Hmm...just like a mix tape. Staying up all night for something no one will appreciate but me.
