and... this year, the #1 Billboard Hot 100 song is...
2010 - "Like a G6" - Far East Movement -
which is totally disappointing...(thanks a LOT for the horrible birthday song, BILLBOARD!) I even stuck this on my iPod in an effort to try to "feel its rhythm", or whatever, but IT AIN'T HAPPENIN'. Not even on the treadmill. Which is surprising, because almost anything can keep me moving on the treadmill. This song makes me cringe - worse than Cream by Prince & the NPG.My dear husband, when you read this, I know you're going to want to listen to "Like a G6" and dissect the rhetorical pedagogy that is used in the lyrics. Er.. something. But please... PLEASE spare your wife the mortification. It's horrible! I am ashamed! Kesha is WAY better, just take my word for it!!!
I can honestly say that I enjoy listening to just about every song on my list of birthday #1's... but the top three would have to be Fantasy by miss Mariah, Smooth because I love Rob Thomas a ton and a half, and Gold Digger - not because I can relate or anything, but because I love Kanye West's music!
Last night my hubs and I watched Woody Allen's "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" at the small theatre in town. Tonight, we're going to freeze our faces off at the last Ohio Bobcat home football game of the season. Which will be the last Ohio Bobcat football game I ever attend at Peden Stadium in Athens. I already predict that I will be a little emotional when the game is over! When I moved to Athens, I was a die-hard MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD fan that wanted absolutely nothing to do with the Bobcats. I gave them a chance. And now, I love 'em. I'm gonna miss them! GO CATS!
I hope you all are having a wild and wonderful Friday-eve. Join me on my Birthday tomorrow - I have an extra special post planned, and I definitely want you to stop by!

"No Diggity" is the song that my cousins played for me to teach me how to bob my head and dance to rap music. I thought they were really cool because they knew ghetto music, and they had perms.
Also, still love me some Christina and Mariah!

LOL, this made me laugh so hard. Sadly, there's definitely a steady decline in the quality of music in the last few years. Oh well. Ice Ice Baby is on the list so that's all sorts of awesome :)
