100 Day Song Challenge Day Fourteen
Day 14: A song with a good video.
Christopher Walken. Enough said.

Day 13: A favourite cover song. (do you know who sang the original?)
Sorry! I was without internet for a few days! I will pick up where I left off.
Wish You Were Here is, without a doubt, my favorite Pink Floyd album. I also love Primus, so when I stumbled upon this cover, I was completely and utterly pleased with myself.

Day 12: A song from any dead artist.
I have had this bizarre obsession with John Lennon since I was 14. This is a good song.

Day 11: A song from an artist you are attracted to.
I will never forget the first time I saw Robert Smith. I was planted in front of MTV, as I was wont to do as a kid, when the video for Friday I'm In Love came on. INSTANT LOVE!!! This silly man with crazy hair and smeared makeup, dancing around gleefully. . . This is a crush I have never quite gotten over. For a long time, I would lust after boys who had the Robert Smith look, if only because they vaguely reminded me of him. I do not think my crush will ever fade. He is such a pretty, pretty man. And his voice is so full of longing. . . Oh, lawsy, I'm getting flushed just thinking about it. Anyway, here's my favorite Cure song. Enjoy!

Day 10: A song from one of your favourite albums. (what is the album?)
Born To Die is an amazing album. That is all.

Day 09: A childhood memory T.V. theme tune.
Like most little girls growing up in the U.S. in the 80s, nothing fascinated me more than watching a half hour long television show about a bunch of retired old women living in a beach house. To this day, I don't understand the phenomenon. I swear, the viewing audience had to be 90% children. Anyway, my favorite was Rose. I'm so hipster, I liked Betty White before she was cool.

Day 08: A song you used to like but now hate.
I CLEARLY remember loving the hell out of this song as a child. I didn't know what new wave was, but, in retrospect, I adored anything even remotely new wave. I am sorry. I am about to lose some Child Of The Eighties Cred here, but I just can not deal with this song now. I can't, I can't, I can't. And the worst thing about it is even THINKING of it will give me a major ear worm. I am trying, as we speak, to prepare myself for days and days of "Don't. . . don't you want me?" Just that part. Over and over again.
