Mandaris"Holiday" by Madonna
A song that reminds you of your last vacation or holiday.
I like to think of the version from The Wedding Singer where Adam Sandler's character is completely miserable while singing it.
Hopefully, I'll be able to make it somewhere nice.
"Makeba" by Jain
A song in a language that you don't know.
I don't remember where or when I came across this song, but I'm happy that I did. I tried listening to other songs but it feels like a different style. I'll try doing a listening session tomorrow to see if I feel the same way.
"It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M.
If today were a genre, what would it be? Pick a matching song.
Just kidding, but this does remind me that I should watch "Don't look up".
"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.
