OK kids....I was actually inspired to blog today...thanks to a friend!!!!! As I was reading his blog, of a similar title, I started thinking of my own guilty pleasure songs, and boy....did I take a siesta to the past!!! This was kind of fun! Hope you enjoy!!!
Keep in mind, these are in no particular order:
1. After the Rain- Nelson: Don't know if it was the music or the hair, but these boys made me swoon!!!
2. Pour Some Sugar On Me- Def Leppard: This song was played in our Jr. High choir class one day...we were doing some sort of "current top hit songs" that week. It was hilarious for our petite choir teacher to even play this song...I'd never heard it before, but loved the song! Of course, living in the household that I did, never got to buy the CD. But my hubby has it!!!
3. Danger Zone- Kenny Loggins: From the movie Top Gun no less!!! All I'm saying, Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer...shirtless volleyball scene!!! *sigh*
4. Coming to America- Neil Diamond: Yeah I know!!! But it's what I grew up on! Purely here for nostalgic purposes...My dad would BLAST this song through the whole house...many times on Saturday mornings to wake us all up, if we weren't already. I'd get sooooo ticked!!! Then, we had to do the Neil Diamond concert, as a family (yeah, I know) and I have to confess, it was rather impressive in a live setting! But don't come looking for his albums in my house, because you won't find any!
5. One More Night- Phil Collins: Sr. Prom Theme! Yup, wore this song out thinking about "that special boy"!
6. You Got It (The Right Stuff)- New Kids on the Block: NKOTB was like an era for me and my friends in Jr. High. Sad but true! We knew the dance, we knew the outfits, we adored the hair! I believe the box of pictures and magazines and posters are still under my bed at mom and dad's!
7. Close Every Door to Me- Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat soundtrack: We did this musical my sophomore year of high school...had SO much fun doing that show! This was my favorite song, because the hot senior with amazing pipes did the solo on it! Can we say swoonage??? YES!!!! BUT...the song is really good even when Matt's not singing it :) Really!!!!
8. Baby Baby- Amy Grant: Yeah, I was a big fan! Knew every lyric on this album I'm pretty sure!
9. Blaze of Glory- Bon Jovi: You had to know there was going to be a Bon Jovi song on my list! I would sneak peeks on MTV waiting for this video...my parents were not so fond of the station...my depraved childhood! I was reminded how much I liked this song during American Idol this past season (2007)...Phil kicked it pretty good!!!
10. Seize the Day- Newsies Soundtrack: My bff Tami and I wore this movie out!!! Christian Bale was a cutie back then too! I still pull it out and watch it from time to time....thanks to my awesome brother for my Christmas present!
