"Larger Than Life" by Backstreet Boys
A song that reminds you of a particular friend.
This reminds me of a friend I had in high school who would always sing in class. He was not a great singer but I don't think he cared. He would sing this and other songs with the confidence of a rock star. He didn't care if there were 2 or 200 people around him.
And the coolest part is that no one gave him any grief about it. We all just rolled with it.

"Kokomo" by The Beach Boys
A song that reminds you of one of your favorite places.
I don't know if it's "Kokomo" or "The Kokomo", but I do know that I've never been there.
For me, it represents a place that I can just sit back and relax; not worry about the stress of the world.
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take you to Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go? Ooh, I wanna take you down to Kokomo We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow That's where we wanna go, way down in Kokomo
Maybe I'll be able to go down there one day.
At one point, I thought that I would be able to do all the prompts.
Part of me thinks “that’s going to annoy all my readers”, but since I don’t have analytics I wouldn’t know.

"Vacation" by The Go-Go's
A song that reminds you of your last vacation or holiday.
This is the first song that came to mind when I thought about vacation. When I hear the song I think about a commercial for a vacation more than the vacation itself. Either that or a comedy about vacations.
It's weird to me that vacations cause so much stress that I sometimes feel I need an extra day after just to rest and recover.
Sometimes it’s the simple things that do not work.
Lillie likes to chill at the landing.
I’m going to this week’s Homebrew Website Club Europe/London meeting.
I haven’t really done anything to the website in a while, but it’s nice to hear idea that I can put on the list.

"Djobi Djoba" by Gipsy Kings
A song in a language that you don't know.
This is my favorite Gipsy Kings song. It's fast and seems fun and I have know idea what they are saying.
Another day of selecting all email and archiving them.
