Mandaris"Walk This Way (feat. Aerosmith)" by Run-DMC
What’s a remix or cover you like more than the original?
There's something about this that just rocks! 🤘🏾
I love hear about how Run-DMC wanted to change the lyrics, but kept them the same in order to really bring home how rock and rap have similarities.
"Tumba" by Angélique Kidjo
What’s a hidden gem or underrated song you love?
I heard this song ages ago and still love it. The whole album is really good and worth multiple listening sessions.
"Jort Storm (Radio Edit)" by Slimecicle
What’s a song that grew on you over time?
My daughter introduced me to this song. At first, I was just listening to it to have something in common, but I can see myself adding it to a playlist or two.
"Beautiful (You Are)" by IMx
What’s your favorite deep cut from an album?
It's hard to beat the influence of the music that you listened to in high school and in your 20s. I thought this group was going to be the NEXT BIG THING.
This one goes out to all the love birds out there!
"What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes
What song makes you feel like you're in a different country?
Seriously.
I was briefly thinking about using something from Rage Against the Machine, but this is the song that called to me.
"More Bounce to the Ounce" by Zapp & Roger
Share a song you feel was ahead of its time.
This song predates all the autotune that you hear nowadays. But honestly, I didn't know what was being said at the time until someone told me what the title of the song was.
"Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior
What’s the last song you discovered and loved instantly?
I've already mentioned a couple during other prompts, but this one needs a moment to shine. This song was originally on the groups demo track and was strong enough that they got a record deal. I know they have at least two albums but I only remember this song.
There's a really good remake of it in the first Trolls movie that I prefer a little more because they add other songs in the mix.
"Candy Rain" by Soul for Real
What’s a lyric that resonates deeply with you and why?
The song starts off incredibly strong and I find myself singing it every once in a while.
My love, do you ever dream of Candy-coated raindrops? You're the same, my candy rain
My family tends to tease me about the fact that it's a love song that heavily features a 15 year old boy. Hey! We should be so lucky as to find love!
"It's the Hard-Knock Life" by Andrea McArdle & The Orphans from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of "Annie"
If your life were a movie, what would its theme song be?
Based on current events.
Part of me knows I should be grateful that it's not worse. It's just hard to have so many obstacles in life.
"My Little Pony Theme Song (Extended Version)" by Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack & My Little Pony
A song from a genre you didn’t think you’d like—what changed?
I didn't think that I would like the music that my children listened to when they were small. Now, I like to sprinkle the soundtrack in a playlist when I know that the girls are going to be listening.
