Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event
"Hoedown Throwdown" by Miley Cyrus
One year I taught my mom's Thespian inductees the "hoedown throwdown" for their initiation. I spent a whole night teaching myself the dance and after I got it down I was extremely proud of myself. I can still do the whole dance. :)
So this picture always reminds me of the thespian induction that year...watching all my kids do the dance...even if they all hated it.
There's the words and the song!
And if you want to learn the dance... :)

medium rare with mustard 'be nice
Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere
"Cheeseburger in Paradise" by Jimmy Buffett
I think it was the summer between my 4th and 5th grade years that I went on a trip to Colorado with Kelsey and her family. Almost the whole way there Mr. Durham played Jimmy Buffett. Kelsey and I always jammed out to this song! Every time I hear about it I think of Colorado and the great trip we had there!
Kelsey can still sing this song word for word!!!
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
Made it nearly seventy days
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays
But at night I'd had these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini, fettucini or Bulgar wheat
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
Not too particular not too precise (paradise)
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
Heard about the old time sailor men
They eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Well it reminds me of the menu at a holiday inn
Times have changed for sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed
Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Medium rare with mustard 'be nice (paradise)
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good god almighty which way do I steer for my
Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)
To get a cheeseburger in paradise
To be a cheeseburger in paradise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
Coda:
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good god almighty which way do I steer for my

Bartender, pour me somethin' strong
Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone
"Brokenheartsville" by Joe Nichols
This needs no explanation. Everyone is bound to know who it's about.
He wore that cowboy hat to cover up his horns.
Sweet-talkin' forked tongue haf a temptin' charm.
Before I turned around, that girl was gone.
All I can say is: "Bartender, pour me somethin' strong."
Here's to the past, they can kiss my glass.
I hope she's happy with him.
Here's to the girl, who wrecked my world,
That angel who did me in.
I think the devil drives a Coupe de Ville.
I watched 'em drive away over the hill,
Not against her will, an' I've got time to kill,
Down in Brokenheartsville.
It was long on chrome, sittin' in the lot.
An' fire engine red, that thing was hot.
He revved it up, she waved goodbye.
Well, love's gone to hell and so have I.
Here's to the past, they can kiss my glass.
I hope she's happy with him.
Here's to the girl, who wrecked my world,
That angel who did me in.
I think the devil drives a Coupe de Ville.
I watched 'em drive away over the hill,
Not against her will, an' I've got time to kill,
Down in Brokenheartsville.
Here's to the past, they can kiss my glass.
I hope she's happy with him.
Here's to the girl, who wrecked my world,
That angel who did me in.
I think the devil drives a Coupe de Ville.
I watched 'em drive away over the hill,
Not against her will, an' I've got time to kill,
Down in Brokenheartsville.

We may be 1000 miles apart.
Day 04 - A song that makes you sad:
"I'm Already There" by Lonestar
There are a million and one songs that make me cry/sad. I am a very emotional person. But when I have to think of the one song that makes me the saddest it would have to be this one. Even if you have never been in a situation like this it is sad, but it reminds me of when my dad was in Iraq. I remember one night shortly after he had made the decision to go over seas this song came on the radio while we were in the car and I just started bawling. Every time I hear it I'm reminded of that night and how difficult it was with him gone for so long. Unlike some other unfortunate families, we got our daddy back, so there is a happy ending to this sad story.
:)
He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said "Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his mind
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already
There

I got my first real six-string...
Day 03 - A song that makes you happy
So many songs make me happy. But a song that always puts a little "pep in my step" when I'm walking to class is "Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams. This is definitely one of the best songs ever and I don't know a single soul that can hear this song and not bob their head just a little bit. Anytime I hear it I am instantly happy. If you don't have it on your iPod...get it there
Too bad I can't quite relate...my mom was born in the fall of '68...so I definitely wasn't around...
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shualda known we'd never get far
Oh when I lock back now
That was seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
(CHORUS)
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
And that's when I met you
Standin on a mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was no or never
Those were the best days of my life
(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on a mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
(Chorus) Back in summer of '69

two x 2
Day twoooo:::
My current least favorite song: "Baby" -Justin Bieber
I'm not going to post the lyrics or the video because I just really hate it and I don't think anyone should be subjected to it's torture.
I really just don't like him or his voice at all. I can't say it's because he's 16 because I'm a fan of Nick Jonas and have been for a while. I just really, really don't like him.
Maybe one of these days he'll improve...but until then I'll stay far away from him and his songs.

My current favorite song: "Kiss Me When I'm Down" -Gary Allan
His new cd just came out last month, so it's basically all I've been listening to. And this is by far my favorite song on the new cd.
Here's the lyricsss!!!
It’s been a year since last weekend
when you swung by with an old friend
Carried out our future box by box
Stack of mail a tube of toothpaste
An empty zeppelin three cd case
Still a few things here that you forgot
They’re just a bad excuse
Just something I can use
To call you
Come on over
Drink my wine
Waste my candles
Waste my time
Tell me lies I won’t believe
Just don’t wake me when you leave
Come on over
Kick me to the ground
Kiss me when I’m down
The bar you’re in sounds like it’s crowded
People laughin’ people shouting
Where you gonna go at closing time
Just pay your tab
And I’ll pay your cab
If you want to
Come on over
Drink my wine
Waste my candles
Waste my time
Tell me lies I won’t believe
Just don’t wake me when you leave
Come on over
Kick me to the ground
Kiss me when I’m down
Just an hour or two
Is better than none of you
I miss you
Come on over
Drink my wine
Waste my candles
Waste my time
Tell me lies I won’t believe
Just don’t wake me when you leave
Come on over
Kick me to the ground
Kiss me when I’m down
Kiss me when I’m down
Here's a video of him performing it!!! :)
Other than Gary's amazing voice, the reason I love this song right now is that it reminds me so much of things I have gone through in the past and currently. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has felt like this. You break up with someone, you think everything is over, but you just can't stay away from them. You know it's a bad idea to talk to them, to be with them, to kiss them, but you do it every time and you always get hurt.
And then there's the fact that I LOVE Gary Allan. :))
