TV Music: Friends

Well, I have to make a Friends post. So here are two songs that stuck out to me in the series.

Wicked Game - Chris Isaak


I could only find the scene in Friends in another language, but here it is... Also, Siobhan Magnus sang it on American Idol, 2 seasons ago???


Trouble With Boys - Loreta

Well, this song was hard to find, and I could only find it in videos that could not be embedded, so here you go: Ross and Monica's dance routine.

Edit:




POST WITHIN A POST

I'm an Artist Pusher: Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow)


I highly encourage Lisa Kudrow to continue her music career. Every one of her songs, however short, and instant classics.


Movie Music: What's Your Number

So I was watching What's Your Number today and wanted to post two songs that stuck out to me.

Wicked Way - Ben Taylor


The lyrics made me chuckle a little. Not the best song, but it's chill.


Holding A Heart - Girl Named Toby


At first I thought the beginning of this song reminded me of Breathe Me, by Sia. Then it somehow reminded me of Green, by Brendan James... Maybe a little of Adele's Hometown Glory? It must have just been the feeling it gave me... who knows?


Neon Lights - Natasha Bedingfield


Pretty catchy tune to bring the movie to a close.

Let's Be Happy! Part 2

Alright With Me - Kris Allen


One of the two songs I like by Kris Allen. See also Before We Come Undone - not very happy sounding though...


Next Thing You Know - Matthew West


Now I don't usually like christian music, but this is just too catchy to pass up. Another christian band song I like is Turkish Delight, by David Crowder Band (boy, that link was a pain to find...)


Lollipop - Mika


Um... cartoons and lollipops... Need I say more?


Pata Pata - Mirian Makeba


You better be swaying when you listen to this song. Ok, that's all for now!

Let's Be Happy! Part 1

So I've been posting a lot of slow songs and wanted to cheer this blog up. Here we go!

R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. - John Mellencamp


I love John Mellencamp! I listen to him all the time, especially when I have to do chores or pack stuff. I also love his song, Hurts So Good.


Shakin' It For Daddy - Robin Thicke featuring Nicki Minaj


Nicki Minaj says "testicles." 'Nuff said.


Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema


I found this band a few weeks ago. I listened to their whole album and they are pretty awesome. Check them out!


Along Came Jones - The Coasters


This is an amazing song to sing along to!!! Especially the deep voice part. How low can you go?
And thennnnn? And THENNNNNN???!!!


Don't Stop Me Now - Queen


Cause we're having a good time listening to these songs, right? Well there's no stopping me! On to part 2!

I'm an Artist Pusher: Janis Ian

Here are a couple of songs from Janis Ian that I find to be amzing. I'll make a post right after this when I find some upbeat songs. My posts have been a tad depressing I think...

At Seventeen




Society's Child




See y'all soon!

Baroque Pop

About a year ago I went through a serious Baroque Pop phase in my musical life. The Beatles and the Beach Boys are examples of popular Baroque Pop bands, but imma show you a couple songs I don't think get enough credit in the minds of today.

Walk Away Renee - The Left Banke


I heard this song while I was watching Ally McBeal. In the show, Vonda Shepard sings it. Of course, The Left Banke's version is so much better.

Another note-worthy song by The Left Banke is Pretty Ballerina. I find this song a little creepy, but I like creepy.


My World Fell Down - Sagittarius


HOLY CRAP I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I can't tell you how happy I am to have heard this song come on my iTunes shuffle. After hearing this song, I needed to make this Baroque Pop post. You're very welcome.


P.S.

Little Bird, Little Bird - Elizabeth Mitchell


Haha, I first heard this song while watching a quite touching scene in S06E06 of Futurama. But this music video... strange... I regret posting this.

not.

I'm an Artist Pusher: Joshua Radin

I gotta just post something about Joshua Radin. I'm not sure how many of you know about him, so I'm gonna push him on you. Puns? What are those?

Vegetable Car


This is my favorite song by him, so I posted it first. Feel free to make it your favorite as well.


I'd Rather Be With You



Brand New Day



Sundrenched World


This song was used for a routine for Kent and Allison in So You Think You Can Dance, which is where I first heard of Joshua Radin. Thanks SYTYCD!

Sky ft. Ingrid Michaelson



You Got Growin' Up To Do



I hope you enjoy Josh Radin's work! See ya layta!
