Songs We All Know
When I was went to visit Lizzie in the UK last year we made a list of songs that people our age know all the words to; those songs that can be played in confidence that people who were in high school in the 90s probably know all or part of. This is not a complete list, feel free to add more. It's just funny to think about. And Leslie wanted to know what we came up with, so really this is just for her.

Here are three small additions:
Baby Got Back by Sir Mix A Lot
Life is a highway-Tom Cochrane
With Arms Wide Open-Creed
I refuse to add Creed, simply on principle. Creed was like a bad Pearl Jam cover band. Stricken from the record I say.
say what you will, it is your blog-but I know that you know EVERY SINGLE WORD to Arms Wide Open. I know this. This, I KNOW.
You are wrong my friend, totally wrong. I don't think I have ever voluntarily listened to the entire song, and I don't think I even know the whole chorus. The only line I know for certain is "With arms wide open" and then I throw up a little in my mouth. But what I do know all of is "Shoop". And "Like a Prayer"
you have beaten me again Sinsai. I will let you know, however that this has now become an all consuming game. I will see you in a few with the lesbian dog.
thought you'd be happy to know that the 10pound hail mary speakers are still kicking around my car and have been the only source of music in poor Sancho since last January. i love that i get to tell the story of our adventures whenever people are like, 'Seriously? This is how you listen to music?'
'Yes, yes it is. Funny story...'
the only thing missing from my glove box now is cloves...
okay, here is the reality...in 1990 we had
opposites attract-paula abdul
Pump up the Jam-technotronic
U can't touch this-MC Hammer
Ice Ice Baby-Vanilla Ice
All Around the World-Lisa Stansfield
Release Me-Wilson Phillips
Unskinny Bop-Poison
Yes, 1990 and yes, I know every word to every one of those songs.
Well done my friend, well done. Wilson Phillips? Awesome. I had that TAPE. Can you name all three members of Wilson Phillips off the top of your head, miss smarty pants? ehh? This list just gets more and more amazing.
