myLot Discussions| Music on a Sunday | | [b]Music on a Sunday[/b](not intentionally an indie title...)I was driving home from making a quick errand this Sunday afternoon when I heard a song that I really liked on the radio. I quickly roll the volume dial to the right. I could tell that I[i]really[/i] liked the song because at that moment, I had become something quite similar to a dashboard bobblehead doll, into the beat, completely carefree, and totally unconcerned about my ridiculousness. Due to my foolish behavior, I undoubtedly appeared slightly insane to any fellow drivers on their weekend outing, restlessly waiting for the traffic light to change; however, the oversized, annular sunglasses I was wearing, along with my showy faux fur hooded jacket, probably helped altar their perception a bit, making me appear like an overexposed, D-lister celebrity recording a 99 cent album while driving in a rental that was,[i]unfortunately[/i], the only rental available upon notice in this humdrum town. I could've just said I looked like Paris Hilton, but that wouldn't have been any fun... (plus I have a word limit to reach here)Anyway, I was singing along to this song, filling in the unknown parts with hums,... | |
| | What's your all-time favorite "feel good" song? | | The one song that's guaranteed to lift your spirits no matter what. The song that, no matter what you're doing, you turn up the volume, sing along, roll down the windows of the car. You know....the one song that just makes you FEEL GOOD. For me, none other than the awesome Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke". Love it! I know every lyric, every riff. I pump up the volume and belt it out. What's yours? | |
| | Mainstream compliments & phrases that can TOTALLY blow up in your face..... | | There are a number of well know compliments and phrases we would all use from time to time and we would usually do so with little or no negative consequences. But what about those times when we use a standard term and then have it totally misread or blow up in our face?For example, If you were to look Stephen Hawking in the eyes after a fierse debate about the Big Bang Theory and say - "Well Stephen, you talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?"[em]confused[/em] I would consider this to be something that is likely to be taken the wrong way!Or if you're having a conversation with a hearing impaired person and say - "I hear ya buddy! True that!" or "Listen up, this is VERY important!" Are these actually potentially offensive things to say? Or turning to Stevie Wonder and saying - "Lookin' good Stevie!" or "I see..... Really?" Is this dangerous ground?[em]confused[/em]Can you think of any more situations where a common term could be completely taken the wrong way? (And no I am not trying to offend anyone, this is all in fun so calm the heck down any wowsers out there!) | |
| | Is there any musical era you want BACK? | | Music's a lot like fashion: they're trends that come and go.I had my musical mind up and about circa Backstreet Boys, when I was starting in Grade School. I listened[and watched] as Backstreet Boys became N*SYNC, A1, Westlife[my personal favorite], and then evolve into Blue. Blue began the era that led us to today, wherein music is a lot more like noise and the lyrics don't make any sense.It's common knowledge today that our music sucks. Just admit it, people. It sucks so bad, sometime's we'd rather opt to go back to the classics. Aerosmith's a good choice, no matter how screamish it got.Is there any musical era you want to go back into style again?I want the 'boy band' era back, because back then everything wasn't as complicated as this. And Stevie Wonder! He's been up and about long before I was actually born, but his music is simply likeable, you just can't NOT hate it. And we know you sang Ma Cherie Amor in the shower. So don't lie.:DTell me what you think. | |
| | Just Can't Get Enough! | | I am a really big Stevie Wonder fan. I love all of his music. I am summarily opposed to other artists remaking his songs. They just can't do them justice....well that's how I felt until I came across this little nugget on Rhapsody. John Legend remade Stevie's[b]Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing[/b]and it is awesome!! I have been listening to it almost nonstop for the past 2 days. Have you ever fallen in love with a song and just couldn't stop listening to it? | |
| | Next Season | | I heard on the radio they were saying there are a lot of people considering participating in next season's Dancing With The Stars, and one of the people who may be on the show will be Stevie Wonder!I would love to see that. If he is on the show I will probably end up rooting for him all the way. Have you heard of anyone else who may be on next season's show?Who would you most like to see on the show next year?I would love to see some more members of Nsync, lol! At least Chris and JC, we know Justin is too busy. | |
