List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs.

1. War Photographer by Jason Forrest, largely because of the rockin' video. (Check it out at http://www.abacuscreativemanagement.com/artists/trussell/videos/video3.htm --works on Firefox, not so well on Explorer).

2. William Shatner's version of Common People. For lo, it doth rock.

3. Malaguena Salerosa, the Chingon version. I've printed out the lyrics and have half-baked dreams of memorizing them just in case I ever find myself in a karaoke club in a Spanish-speaking country. Because really, you never know.

4. Speaking of karaoke, Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by the Crashtest Dummies is one of those songs that you think will be a good idea until you're on stage and about a third of the way through it, at which point it's too late, FAR too late to stop, and you know you're in for it. You know. One of THOSE songs. But it's still been stuck in my head all week.

5. Tonight You Belong To Me...I know I just mentioned a couple of posts ago, but it's so damn addictive! Ukelele! Hopeless love! Intertwining harmonies!

6. That Chumbawumba song. I realized far too late this morning that I was singing it in the shower. In assorted accents. I'm ashamed.

7. Sailing for Adventure, off Muppet Treasure Island. Because lyrics like "Hoist the sails and sing/sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing" are golden, and need to be sung at the top of one's lungs.

I'll confess: I think that "Shiver My Timbers" off that soundtrack is really an honestly cool pirate song. You could almost take it seriously... if not for the singing tiki heads, anyway.

6. Tubthumping! I had that on the dance playlist at my last party and lo, it got people going.

Another song not to sing at Karaoke: "Here Comes the Rain Again".

I found out the hard way.

William. Shatner. Rocking.

William... Shatner.... Rocking...

Tub thumping in assorted accents? The mind boggles!

...I heard that she made up the lyrics as she recorded it, so you could too, if she hadn't gotten so famous with them first...

"I have an apple doll,
playing with my doll having lots of fun,
playing with the fruit in the bowl at my house.."

...Crashtest Dummies HAVE no other lyrics in that song but HMMM...they keep them in their other songs! What a grim grim discovery to make in public!

My chinchillas do actually type away while I'm asleep. I only find out when I get the credit card bills from shady businesses.

Sneaky chinchillas!
