Tag: 365 day song challenge

(35/365) Your favorite cover song: There is no better cover out there of anything. Greatest of all time. Right here.

(34/365) A song that you try to get stuck in your head to replace the one that’s currently stuck there: This was a no brainer. Oh, yeah, it’s my birthday and stuff.

(33/365) A song that you can’t even think of without it getting stuck in your head. This song is so addicting. The best part is at about 9 hours and 59 minutes in.

(32/365) A song that plays to your inner hopeless-romantic: I remember the first time I heard this song, I was at a skating rink, skating (duh). It was one of my first eargasms. For a kid in 1987, it was an amazing song unlike anything I had ever heard before, and if the planets align just right, I still can get a glimmer of the feeling that I had when I heard it the first time. I think my subconscious made the sentiment of this song a goal to achieve, which I eventually reached when I married my wife. So whether or not this song had anything to do with it, I will always hold it in a special place in my heart.

(31/365) Your class song (or what you want your class song to be): I was shocked to find this on YouTube. When I went to school, no one actually sang the alma mater, and it wasn’t a part of football games either. I know, because I was in the band for every home game. I don’t think out team ever dominated a game like this one, though.

(30/365) A song from a band/artist that you are planning to see in the next 6 months: I am writing this about 2 weeks ago, and right now I am planning to see Fu Manchu, which when this is posted will be in the past. Since I probably am not going to any more concerts in 2015, this will have to do.

(29/365) A song that describes a friendship: Is there a better song that fits this category? I think not.

(28/365) A song you change the words to when you sing it:When I was in Montana for geology field camp in the summer of 2002, I came up with a full blown set of alternate lyrics for this song, but I can only remember one line. It just takes some time to walk all the way to the Middle Lime.

(27/365) A song you like to blast on your car stereo when it comes on: This is a fine song at full blast. Go ahead, CRANK IT.

(26/365) One of the top songs that was released the year you were born: This song was released two days before I was born and became the hit of the summer of 1979 in a landscape of disco and cheese. It’s not punk, it’s just regular rock music that clocks in at over 5 minutes, but the middle section solo is indispensable or it would have gotten old with the main riff. Good stuff.
