"Theme from "Greatest American Hero" (Believe It or Not)" by Joey Scarbury

Listen on Apple Music

A song from a TV show that you like.

I think this song has outlived the tv show and I think it's wonderful in how it expresses joy.

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air I never thought I could feel so free Flying away on a wing and a prayer Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me

I should set a reminder to listen to this song on a regular basis so that I can think about the things that I'm grateful for.

"Boogie Wonderland (with The Emotions)" by Earth, Wind & Fire

Listen on Apple Music

Share a song that makes you want to dance every time.

I don't think I'm the only one who gets the feeling of toe tapping when I hear this song. The very first verse of the song is literally telling you to dance!

Dance, boogie wonderland, hah, hah Dance, boogie wonderland

The hah is the sound of your heart filling with joy as it gets ready to do it's thing.

Ok. Really quickly. Take less than 2 seconds.

Tell me if a song is playing and what is the song.

A Halloween-themed playlist is displayed on a music streaming app, showing various songs and albums.

A handsome person in a hidden temple.

Just me hanging out before the ritual sacrifice at midnight.

"Hotline Bling" by Drake

Listen on Apple Music

What is a song by an artist you don't usually like?

I'm not saying I didn't like Drake before we all knew that he was not like us. I am saying that there was just something about the music that he was associated with that didn't appeal to me.

Still, there is something about this song. Maybe it's the story of how a Good Guy perceives not ending up with the girl or how people can get caught up in living the fast life.

I feel that the phrase “it’ll get better” should only be used on life and the obstacles we face and not products and services. Those are material and outside of what truly matters.

"Pizza Power" by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Listen on Apple Music

A song from the first gig you went to.

When I was a kid, Pizza Hut had a tie in with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I believe that if you bought a certain amount of pizza you could get a discount on the Coming Out of Their Shells soundtrack.

I don't know what better or worse, this or a McDonald's Happy Meal.

This is a quarter of my dad’s cd collection.

A collection of stacked CDs next to a red flashlight is displayed on wooden shelves.

"Killing In the Name" by Rage Against the Machine

Listen on Apple Music

What's your favorite protest song?

Kind of hard to beat a song that repeatedly says

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
