Day 83: A song with good artwork on the single/album cover sleeve. (if album, what album?)Both the song and the album it's from are called "Save My Soul." The cover art is interesting, but I also love the art on the pages in the little booklet because each one is a compilation of random little things associated with a band member, including ( Read more... )

Day 82: The National Anthem should be changed to this song.

I started to take this prompt seriously, but then I thought, "Why start now? Besides, the meme made you cry once--screw it!"

Thus, I'm going to go with this song. I think at least some of the founding fathers would approve.

Day 81: An 80's pop song by an artist who thinks he's/she's really cool.

Uh... Isn't that every 80s pop artist? XD

No, really.

Day 80: An ABBA song.

I'm not a huge ABBA fan, so I picked one I'm familiar with at random.

Day 79: A song from an artist/band that has a weird dress sense.

Malice Mizer is all about the look. It's like gothic classical or something. *shrug* I just know that the guy in the blue dress and blonde wig is a little disturbingly pretty...

Day 78: A song that was number one from the same year you were 10.

Ah maaaan... Why did I already use Meatloaf?

I guess we'll go with this. I remember everyone always making a big deal about her "incredible vocal range," and all I could ever think was, "... Isn't she just squeaking? In tune?" :P

Day 77: A song by an artsit born or lives close to where you live. (where do you live?)

Well, here's the probably only well-known song of Eugene, Oregon's own Cherry Poppin' Daddies.

Day 76: A wierd song.

No one will ever be able to convince me that this is not a song about a drug trip. The Beatles were definitely on drugs most of the 60s some of the time. I defy you to sit through more than 20 minutes of "Magical Mystery Tour" without thinking, "Holy crap, these guys are stoned out of their minds!"

Seriously.

Day 75: A good duo song.

I almost went with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong because that's pretty epic, but then I was like, "What's this? Dancing in roller skates?" Fred and Ginger won. The video with actual singing had embedding disabled. Alas!

Day 74: A song from a genre of music you don't know much about? (what genre?)

I'm not a big fan of country music, so I don't know very much about closely related genres, such as bluegrass. 'Tis not my cup of tea, so I've never bothered much. Here's a random bluegrass song:
