100 songs: 3/100 - Uptown Funk
Song Three: "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Call the police and the fireman
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Make a dragon wanna retire, man
So "Uptown Funk" won Record of the Year at the Grammy's last night. This song reminds me of my summer Canadian Road Trip.
In August, Thad and I drove 9 hours from Detroit to visit my mum in Gatineau, Quebec. We usually make the drive for American Thanksgiving, but we were on a mission to drive to my dad's to retrieve a box of fragile items. So from mum's house, with my mum, my brother Kevin, Thad, and I in my step-dad's vehicle, we drove 13 hours to Fredericton, New-Brunswick. From my dad's, we drove 6 hours to my grandparents in Matane, Quebec. Then it was a 9 hour drive back to mum's, then 9 hours back home.
That's A LOT of radio listening. It's also a lot of the same songs over and over again each time to change station once you lose the other one.
Thad and I usually listen to Rock stations, but my mum listens to Rock, Alternative, Pop, Dance, etc. So it was a lot of songs I'd never heard before, on some strange kind of repeat where you eventually have heard the songs so many times you can sing along.
A few weeks after I returned home, I actually asked mum what some of the songs we had listened to were, so that I could download them.
She listed this one, amongst others. (And this song introduced me to Bruno Mars and his "Lazy Song"... which is a song for another day)
Enjoy!
