5 Songs Meme
This is new, 'cos I've adapted it from the music meme on Hannah's Journal. Feel free to take the category headings and post your own five songs for each on your own blog, if you should wish. Don't if you don't. I just found my choices interesting, so thought I'd share.
NOTE: due to this being about "songs" I have not mentioned any classical music. Just makes it easier for me to choose, really. If you wanna add classical stuff in your own lists, that's none of my business.
Five Happy Songs
The following five songs make me happy:
- Groove Is In The Heart by Deee-Lite;
- Walking On Sunshine by Katrina & The Waves;
- Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison;
- Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams;
- Tequila by Terrorvision.
Five Emotional Songs
These songs evoke an emotional response from me, for whatever reason:
- If We Hold On Together by Diana Ross;
- Zombie by the Cranberries;
- Everybody Hurts by REM;
- It Must Have Been Love by Roxette;
- Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel.
Five Romantic Songs
These are songs that to me sum up love and romance:
- Fly Me To The Moon by various people (my favourite is one of the women, can't recall her name);
- Come What May from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack;
- The Anniversary Waltz by Vera Lynn;
- Almost Unreal by Roxette;
- Take My Breath Away by Berlin.
Five Songs I Recommend
If you haven't heard these songs, then go out of your way to do so:
- Get Up by Nik Kershaw;
- Boulevard of Broken Songs by Party Ben;
- Wishing I Was Naive by Headswim;
- Delicious by Catherine Wheel;
- She's A Mystery To Me by Roy Orbison.
Five Songs I Gotta Sing To
As a certain song that only narrowly missed being on this list goes, don't listen to me now:
- Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen;
- Bitch by Meredith Brooks;
- Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf;
- The Fragile by NIN;
- Your Woman by White Town.
Five Songs I Can't Stand
Please don't play any of the following near me:
- The Drugs Don't Work by The Verve;
- Stayin' Alive by The BeeGees;
- Rotterdam by The Beautiful South;
- Barbie Girl by Aqua;
- [Insert any song by Savage Garden here].
Thanks for listening! What would your five songs be for each category?
