Songs Meme
(*this is me dancing, in a kitchen, in Monaghan, I thought I would show you me again!!) (all different, but all the same)
- A track from your early childhood
?Guilty? by Bananrama, I used to dance around my kitchen to it as a small girl and it?s the first song I knew all the words to - A track that you associate with your first love
?RX queen? by Deftones, ?cause you?re me girl and that?s alright, if you sting me I wont mind? aw! - A track that reminds you of a holiday trip
?Hotel California? by The Eagles, Girona 04, me and Keelin listened to it everyday that I was there - A track that you like but wouldn?t want to be associated with in public
Oh god, any of my 80?s cheesy tastic ones, em possible Rock the Boat, or Germaine Stewart ?we don?t have to take our clothes off, to have a good time? (terrible but I secretly love it ? shhh!) - A track that accompanied you when you were lovesick
?Lover you should have come over? Jeff Buckley / ?I hope that I don?t fall in love with you? Tom Waits - A track that you have probably listened to most often
?Ugly Girl? Fiona Apple, the ultimate break up song really, but I love it for other occasions too! The lyrics are just genius!! And the music is all upbeat and funky so it puts you in a good mood as well, and no?I am not bitter!! - A track that is your favourite instrumental
"McBride?s" by Moving Hearts. - A track that represents one of your favourite bands
I don?t really have a favourite band so to speak, there?s far too many, so here goes: T-Rex ?cosmic dancer?, Beastie Boys ?sabotage?, Deftones ?passenger?, Blondie ?fade away and radiate?, Bjork ?Joga?, Bob Marley and the Wailers ?Redemption Song?, Rage against the machine ?responsible for genocide?, Suzanne Vega ?Marlene on the wall?, Jimi Hendrix ?all along the watchtower?, Tears For Fears ?head over heels?, The Ramones ?Pet Cemetery?, CCR ?Suzie Q?, The Carpenters ?The Masquerade?. - A track which represents yourself best
?Teenage Kicks? The Undertones for defo! - A track that reminds you of a special occasion (which one?)
?Simply the Best? Tina Turner, me, my Mam, and my Sister danced to this at my sisters wedding, and we always sing it with alternative words - A track that you can relax to
Well if I am doing the Yoga at home (ultimate relaxation) or if I can?t sleep I listen to Air?s ?Moon Safari? album, its so chilled out, but cant pick one track, cause then once you are relaxed you?d have to get up and out something else on, and that just defeats the purpose! - A track that stands for a really good time in your life
?The Way young lovers do? Van Morrison, reminds me of 2 summers ago (2004) when I was introducing my foreign mates to Irish musicians, and we used to sit in the garden and do beer tastings and climb onto the roof of the shed and pick the cherries off the tree in Neal?s garden, and dance in the grass in our bare feet, it was a cool time! - A track that is currently your favourite
?Oh my God? Kaiser Chiefs, (brilliant for driving to) or ?Hounds of Love? The Futureheads, one of the few covers that do the original justice, brilliant track!! - A track that you?d dedicate to your best friend
The Pixies ?Debaser? or The Foo Fighters ?My Hero? - A track that you think nobody but you likes
?The Frog Chorus? Paul McCartney, ah them were the days!! - A track that you like especially for its lyrics
?Dream Brother? Jeff Buckley, makes me tingle, I know, bent but hey, that?s me! - A track that you like that?s neither English nor German
Les Tentations ?Il fait chaud?, French rap, I was introduced to this by my Parisian friend Stefane, its brilliant, its defo on my recommended list! - A track that lets you release tension best
?All along the Watchtower? Jimi Hendrix, it makes me dance, even when I don?t want to - A track that you want to be played on your funeral
?Hurt? Johnnie Cash (originally by NIN but this one is SO much better, ?What have I become, my sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away, in the end
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
I will let you down, I will make you hurtIf I could start again, a million miles away, I would keep myself
I would find a way?The music is brilliant in it as well, makes me tingle
- A track that you?d nominate for the ?best of all times? category
?Teenage Kicks? The Undertones, I love it, it also makes me dance, and I have loved it since I first heard it, in Donegal when I was about 9 and my Dad?s mate John was playing the music on the guitar and he asked me had I ever heard it and I said no and then he played it for me and I just fell in love with it straight away, I love the way Sharkey?s accent is true in his singing voice.

"We don?t have to take our clothes off, to have a good time"... Oh . My . Goodness!
(I used to love that song, too! But please keep it under your hat. Probably something to do with spending my weekends often with a mobile 80's disco a few years back...)

Its the funniest line ever from a song, I love it, bopping away!! And the worst thing about it is that I was only born in 1983 so I havent even got the excuse of dancing in a disco to it, I have to go to "special" 80's nights to dance to it!!!

Some of us feel rather old now.
Posted by: Adrian | July 31, 2006 11:05 AM
ha-ha!!!
Posted by: Babs | July 31, 2006 11:12 AM
Agreed, Adrian. I suddenly feel very old too (and somewhat embarrassed...)
Posted by: SharkyUK | July 31, 2006 1:59 PM
Ah no don't, I am just VERY young no??
Posted by: Babs | July 31, 2006 2:09 PM
I did this meme a while ago, and I think it's very interesting that we both chose 'McBrides' as our favourite instrumental.
But then again, the Hearts DO rock.

Podcast version, pleeze.

Podcast version? Are you mad? You might be waiting a while!

It took me like two hours. You have the song, you have the comments about them...COMBINE!
Posted by: Destructor | August 2, 2006 7:34 PM
Combine? With what? The power of magic?
Although... I DO have Audacity, I could probably get it together, if I had a clue.
Posted by: Matt | August 2, 2006 7:56 PM
Audacity is absolutely perfect for this project. It'll be fun for all involved.
Posted by: Destructor | August 2, 2006 8:40 PM
But would anyone even listen to it...?
It's be fun for Babs, but a nightmare for me (with possible fun with the finished product). I haven't recorded anything since I was about 11.
And I sound gay on tape (although, it shouldn't really be me, since it was Babs memeing this time)..
Mostly, I've been using Audacity to make cool ringtomes.
Posted by: Matt | August 3, 2006 3:56 PM
i would do it...if I had the time, you are talking to a 3 jobber at the moment you know, what with that...and all the yoga, I just dont know, also, I would even sing all of the songs, I know that I definately DON'T sound gay on tape or whatever, or so I am told anyway!! oooh the excitement!
Posted by: Babs | August 4, 2006 8:50 AM
Ooh. Like, the excitement (or something).
Doing it would probably actually be really easy. All we'd have to do is get them all on MP3, and record the in-betweeny bits. Getting the two of us to sit down and record it for 2 or 3 hours might be very hard though.
