QOTW:
Is there a song, or a musical genre, that reminds you of high school? Is there a paticular song that you would be fine with never hearing again?
Re: ::Chicago Weekly Check-In::
Hmmm.... songs that remind me of high school include:
The Sign, Ace Of Base
I Swear, All-4-One
I'll Make Love to You, Boyz II Men
The Power of Love, Celine Dion
Hero, Mariah Carey
Stay (I Missed You) , Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories
Breathe Again, Toni Braxton
All for Love, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting
All That She Wants, Ace Of Base
Don't Turn Around, Ace Of Base
Bump N' Grind, R. Kelly
Again, Janet Jackson
Songs that I don't care to hear again... anything from NKOTB. They remind me how crazy I was about NKOTB during that phase. LOL!
The entire Ludarcis - Word of Mouf CD. My best friends car was named Ghetto 2 and we used to jam to this CD to and from school, just about everyday. We even coordinating hand motions to certain songs, lol.
Nelly - Country Grammer
R Kelly - Ignition
Missy Elliott - Pass the dutch, work it and this is for my people
Good Morning! The answers to the QOTW have me laughing! I can actually tell you what year I was in high school when I hear certain songs! The other day I was in the car with DH and we heard "How Do I Live" song by Leann Rimes and I said, "this song came out around the fall of my senior year!" LOL, I am a dork!
And, if I never heard Alanis Morrisets (sp?) album with Ironic and other similar songs, I would be VERY HAPPY!
Awesome QOTW!!!
Is there a song, or a musical genre, that reminds you of high school?
Let's see...
"I'll Never Break Your Heart" by The Backstreet Boys,
"Hit Me Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears,
"Ms. Jackson" by Outkast,
"My All" & "Honey" by Mariah Carey....
I remember coming home from school and watching TRL with Carson Daley. hahaha.....oh the memories. I think I'll have to listen to some of this today at work. :-)
Is there a paticular song that you would be fine with never hearing again?
hmm...oh, I could go without having to listen to that "steal my sunshine" song...
and the song that goes "I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch....chinese food makes me sick"....haha.....
My favorite artists in high school were the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and the like. BSB was the biggie, though... I still love all their hits from that time, especially the Millennium album.
Also, you can add me to team blue! We had our 20wk ultrasound last Friday and found out we're having a little boy!
I'm probably really "dating" myself here but grunge and alternative were very popular when I was in high school. Pearl jam, nirvana, depeche mode, alice in chains, bush, counting crows, blind melon, nine inch nails, no doubt, oasis.
this.
My due date 8/15/2011
Musical Genre - House Music (I'm originally from Chicago) we would go to Medusas for parties. I remember Lil Louis parties at the Bismark Hotel which I think it's the Cadillac Theater now.
No particular song.
Hmm..I would say songs such from those like Vitamin C, Nelly (back when he first came out), Sugar Ray...ah, those were good times. It was also the time when Aerosmith's "Don't wanna miss a thing" was played at every single dance.
Oh and the husband and I just found out that we are on....
TEAM BLUE!
Yay! This is a fun question!
It's a wide range that makes me think of high school: from the first Pearl Jam album (Ten) and Nirvana to that Life is a Highway song and I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. Oh yeah! And Ace of Base too. Yikes I'm old!
Song I could do without ever hearing again? That's difficult because I like so many different genres, but maybe Mmm Bop? I think I could do without that one.
