Final days of the challenge

I know, I know... I'm working ahead, but that is what I do. After registering for classes this morning, I am very happy and anxious to get some things done. So here are the final days of the challenge.

Day 25: A song your parents played at parties.

When I was young (and even now), mom and dad didn't really throw parties. So this is from when they were in High School.

Day 26: A song you love to sing in the shower.

This is a strange question to ask, and here is my answer. I think of this song because of my first year of Girl's Camp when we did a Disney theme for each level. One of the levels chose "The Lion King" and one of their ditties was "Oh I just can't wait to be CLEAN!"

Day 27: Song by the first band you saw in concert.

I love Lady Antebellum! I was able to see them and meet them when they came to Boise last summer (2010)!

Day 28: Favorite Oldie (song grew up thinking of as an oldie).

I think of this as an "oldie" but in reality, it is just a classic.

Day 29: Song with chord changes that really thrill you.

I'm not quite sure if this is a correct response, but the guitar solo really gets me :)

Day 30: Favorite Vocal Performance

I love both of these. The top one is a fairly familiar one (a lip sync to a song by MooseButter) and the second is a recent one that I was introduced to. Both are really good! :)

Day 24

I am lovin' Rexburg right now! The sun is continuing to shine and the weather is staying nice and warm!!!! YAY!

Day 24: Last song that got stuck in your head:

For a lip-sync FHE activity, I participated in this song with my friends. We had a blast, and ever since I have had a hard time getting it out of my head. Lol! I have included the original music video and a fan-made one :)

Days 22 and 23

Today was GORGEOUS here in Rexburg! The sun was shining and was warm with just the right amount of a breeze! a sign that summer is on her way!

Day 22: A song by an artist you used to love, but are now ashamed of (because either you or they changed).

I remember when Britney Spears was big and was awesome! I used to go into my aunt's bathroom and turn on the red heat light with the regular white light and say I was Britney Spears (I saw that she had pink in her hair) cause my hair would have a pink tint to it. Now, I am apalled with her and how she acts now!

Day 23: A song that infuriates you

I had to think about this one. I settled for this one... Need I explain much more?

Days 11-21

Wow! I am way behind. Oh well! Lol!
Day 11: A song that makes you think you love everybody (even temporarily)

I know it's kinda childish, but this is all I could think of. The message is great: we are all in the journey of life and there are others around us whether we like it or not.

Day 12: A Song that is incredibly deep no matter how many times you hear it

It is so sad that many of us just settle. We need to take off and "defy gravity" to the best of our abilities! :)

Day 13: A song you love, but can't bring yourself to listen to

This song is a funny song, but my brother played it soooooo many times that it drove me crazy (much like most of the songs played on Z 103.3)

Day 14: A song you put on everyone's mix tape:

It is a random/stupid one, but it is so addicting/catchy!

Day 15: Favorite duet/collaboration between two artists you love (or maybe you only love one of them).
 

I usually very much dislike Justin Bieber, but I love Rascal Flatts. It is called "That Should Be Me"

Day 16: A song you love from a genre/artist you usually dislike

I have included 2 versions of the song: Live and a music vid made by someone else. Both are pretty good. I don't care much for Aqua, but this one is really good.

Day 17: Biggest musical theatre song by an artist you usually adore.
 

I adore Andrew Lloyd Webber! I couldn't identify a one song that I love, but I love Phantom of the Opera and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Day 18: A song you like recorded by an artist who was under 18 at the time of recording?
 

I usually don't like the changed versions of classic songs, but this one I actually do. I don't know if the Jonas brothers were under 18 when they did the other song, but I like it as well.

Day 19: A song from the first album you ever bought with your own money (extra credit if you rode a spider bike to Woolworth's to make the purchase) or first 45 if you're old enough to know what that is.

I honestly don't remember my first purchased album. I did buy a Disney Villains album when I was younger and these were on there.

Day 20: First song you ever illegally downloaded

Two different videos of the same song. I have downloaded this one...


Day 21: A song I clean house to.

I really don't have a specific one, but these are some of the more recent ones. I use the Cha Cha slide for dusting :)

Day 10

Well, the sunshine was wonderful while it lasted. The forecast for the next couple of days is rainy and kinda cold. Welcome to Idaho... land of the ever-changing/moody weather. I honestly think that Idaho must be female...

Anyways.... Day 10 of the song challenge. Today it is supposed to be a song that I first heard live and have really liked ever since.
I again have multiple for this one. I had the opportunity to go to Boise and see Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw in concert last summer. The opening band was one by the name of Love and Theft. I didn't know who they were, but when they played these two songs, I fell in love with their music (at least these two songs). I hope you enjoy them as well. :)
1. Runaway

2. Dancing in Circles

Day 9

FINALLY!!!!!!!!! Some sunshine and warmth reached little Rexburg! I certainly hope it lasts for a while, though the forecast isn't so hopeful. Better enjoy it while we have it. I love spring/summer time here in Idaho. It may be strange weather, but still is very pretty.

On to Day 9 of the song challenge.
Today, it is: A song that shocked you the first time you heard it.

I don't know any song more shocking for a new listener than "A Little Priest" from Sweeney Todd. Before I had watched the movie, I was introduced to this song by a dear friend of mine. As I was listening to it, I was appalled at what I was listening to and couldn't believe that this sweet young woman would listen to stuff like this! I do enjoy the movie/musical now (wish it wasn't so gory but I can't really control that too much), especially with Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp acting together.
