It really should be a naughty euphamism. So you know, let your mind wander…
Thanks to @JeffQuestad I got to read all about McCain’s vaguely disturbing predilection for ABBA. I’m not that disturbed about his enjoyment of Neil Diamon because, when push comes to shove, which one of us wouldn’t say they loved Neil Diamond? I have very fond junior high memories of our show choir singing “America.”
Which of course got me thinking, if I were going to list my ten favorite songs, what would they be? This could also have something to do with the fact that I just bought New Kids On Block “Greatest Hits” and would have chosen at least two of those songs had you asked me this question in 1990. And a Guns ‘N Roses song or two, I’m sure. Lest you think I’m a total freak.
Therefore, my top 10 songs of right-damn-now-which-are-available-at-the-iTunes-music-store-for-you-to-sample but in no particular order:
- Jellyfish’s “Brighter Day”
- Justin Timberlake’s “What Goes Around Comes Around”
- Mos Def’s “Hip Hop”
- Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five”
- The White Stripes’s “Seven Nation Army”
- No Doubt’s “Sunday Morning”
- Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me To The Moon”
- Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back”
- Ani Difranco’s “Untouchable Face”
- Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova’s “When Your Mind’s Made Up”
