One woman's search for fame and fortune that does not include beheading or sleeping with men who don't brush their teeth.

MixtapeMixtapeMixtape!
Okay, so this version of Mixtape (does anyone else think this looks like the name of an ancient Aztec city?) is a little different. No theme; instead it's Song Association Mixtape! I'm gonna think of a song, and then one of you guys will post the very first song that comes to mind spurred on by my suggestion, and then somebody else will comment on song #2, and so on and so forth. It'll be fun! C'mon, stop whining. You know this has got to be better than typing random phrases into Wikipedia. Some ground rules: no repeats, since this is hypothetically going to have to listenable, and the songs have to be popular/well-known/recognizable enough that the next person in line can relate to them in some way, shape or form. Otherwise, we stall out, right? Also, I'm naming names: Lacy and Daisy, you guys have to come up with SOMETHING, just cuz I love you and I'm making you do it.
Ready for my first song?
Ready?
Okay, here we go:
Hold On by Wilson Phillips
Three things about this song: 1) Daisy and I listened to this song A LOT in the summer of 1990. 2) I used to really,really, really want to look like Wendy Wilson 3) Chynna Phillips looks like Tasha Yar, which I never noticed until watching this video. And that is your unnecessary ST:TNG reference for today. I thought she died on Vagra II! My mistake, she went on to a mildly successful singing career!
Ok. Honestly?

This song was actually on a mixtape along with "Hold On" that I made in 7th grade from songs taped off the radio.
Yay! People are playing my game!
ReplyDeleteI saw the song before I saw my name, and what a memory blast! I wonder if I still have that tape...
ReplyDeleteVal's song totally made me think of
