Top Five Songs in My head today

1. Baby It's Cold Outside

Wonderful ditty sung by Ray Charles and Betty Carter. This song became known to our generation thanks to TV sitcom "A Different World". Dwayne Wayne and Whitley lipsync this tune in one of the sweetest married couple scenes on television. As I sit in front of my computer, I can't help but wonder if my band will ever cover the song (the band that I will one day be part of).

2. Uhh Ahh

Yeah, that's right. You all remember this tune from the newbies from Philly. To all the Boyz II Men haters in the crowd, I've seen your cd collections. You own CooleyHighHarmony and Jagged Little Pill and refuse to sell them for ciagarettes. I was thinking of this song walking home from the L train. Yup, add Get Laid to my "To Do" list.

3. Who Wants To Live Forever

Who can forget this memorable number from Queen's "It's A Kind of Magic"? I mean, hello! I wanted to BE the Highlander. Yeah, two things put this song in my head. One, I just recently found out that I share a birthday with Brain May, the coolest guitarist in my favorite band in the whole world. Yeah, Queen rocks my world. Two, I had this cool daydream today where Nancy and I were fighting in front of her big glass office window and I cut her head off. Then when the Quickening happened, electricity struck Emily as she was passing by. Yeah, it ruled.

4. Gandhi

Whenever life gets too hectic, I think of this track off Patti Smith's latest album. I get worked up about fixing the world and forget about all the little details that get me down. Incidently, i still don't have a date for the New Year's Eve show. :(

5. Whoever You Are

Love the Geggy Tah folks! Sacred Cow is not only the coolest title for an album but its helluh fun listening. So, this morning I was on my way to work with my new roomate (who I won't name because there are spies everywhere) and I felt so calm. It reminded me of the old days when I would hang out with my high school friends and we did dumb things but we felt safe because we had each other. Yeah, my new roomie makes me feel safe.

Yeah, those were the top 5 songs in my head today.

Honorable Mentions:
Beautiful People
Sister Christian
Cream
Sandford and Son theme (given, because it's always in my head)
