not the good 'ole days because well im not sure if im old enough yet for those...so ive been working at re-cataloging my mp3 collection having required it recently from jason's bedroom and in the process ive come across many a song ive never heard, never wanted to here again, ashamingly know the lyrics to by heart, and well you get the idea...
"crash and burn" by savage garden - remember the slow dances at the 8th grade spring fling or whatever the fuck they called it...half way through the song she puts her head on your shoulders and you try not to pop a boner, god knows thats why you don't dance in middle school, as you whisper sweet nothings into her ear that are lamer than the fact that you borrowed them from the 17 magazine you stole from your sister...
i believe i was in 7th grade when dangerous minds came out, go michelle phifer and coolio's "ganster's paradise", one of my best friends hungout with one of the bigger middle school dealers of our neighborhood and we thought nothing of it, bloods/crypts, red and blue...gansters were fucking the shit for pubescent youth.
"thunderstuck" by ac/dc was introduced to me later in life, i was a senior and still earning my rocks as a cool kid...we'd rented a hotel for the girls volleyball championship tournament in denver, drove the parents van while they were out of the country, and partied up a hotel room...keep in mind i didnt drink back then but that didnt stop everyone else from introducing me to my first drinking game ever...its called take a drink everytime you hear "thunderstruck".
speaking of classics "wad" was his nickname, i can never remember his real name but if you're from holyoke you know who im talking about, got layed into and flew across the dance floor at our junior prom just as the DJ cut the plug to billy idol's "mony mony"...apparently the school principal had required in the contract the song not be played because apparently loud obnoxious high school boys and girls alike enjoy yelling "get laid, get fuck" during the chorus lines...
don't lie, you know the lyrics to afroman's "because i got high" and could still sing them if you heard it, damn stoner you...
first and probably last country song ill admit to still enjoy the sound of, the first one i ever heard played on a jukebox in a backwards restaurant on a family roadtrip somewhere in the middle of the mid-west around the age of 10 or so, but you gotta admit, its about getting booze, women, and cars down yonder on the "chattahoochee" by alan jackson.
i was 18, just barely, but everyone wanted to be avril lavigne's "skater boy", she's was hot, enough said.
still a classic and still a requirement in certain countries but we all had to do it at some point and some of us still do "fight for your right" to party with the beastie boys...
another prom favorite and ive met more girls in my life who knew the lyrics better than any dude ever..."okay back back to the fuckin' basics, you got yours and mine ya want tah taste it, open wide oh no don't 'cha waste it, oh shit all over ya face kid..." the rest are too R-rated for my blog readers...way to go easy e with "gimme dat nut"
this song reminded every boy who played mean tricks with his sisters barbie dolls, whether it was lighting them on fire, burying them outside or just "undress me everywhere", until mother beat the crap out of you, but at least you had fun "come on Barbie, let’s go party"...by Aqua.
and i would be disappoint my stoner friends if i didnt make at least make a reference to sublime and all the crazy shit they wrote but had i been a pothead im sure id have a story to tell about this one time were i "smoked two joints" while wasting away a lunch hour in the school parking lot, hearing the bell ring, dumping a full bottle of visine into my flush blood red eyes, leaving the windows cracked a little as i ran into the school building and grabbed a seat in the back of mr. pittman's psychology class...
there are more but this is way to long and i have over 50gb of music left to sort through so perhaps ill have a part two when im all done with this monkey business...
