When I Think About Music, I Tag Myself

by Leslie

My good pal Gunfighter was tagged for an awesome music meme in which he was supposed to share 7 songs he is currently into right now and then tag 7 people. He tagged 7, including my husband. Then, he tagged two more. I was not one of those 7 9 people, so I’ve decided to tag myself. Ha!

Here are 7 songs that I can’t get enough of right now, in no particular order.

1. Herman’s Hermits - I’m Into Something Good This is one of the hap-hap-happiest feel-good songs you’ll ever hear. How can you resist it? YouTube video.

2. Dire Straits - Walk Of Life This is THE song. It’s the one I go for first in the car and will repeat again and again until someone cracks and forces me to change it. YouTube video.

3. The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun The Beatles are always in my rotation. This is one of my favorites. If I had to choose a song to describe how it felt to become a mother, it would be this one. YouTube Video.

4. Joe Satriani - Always With Me, Always With You When guitar sounds this good, you don’t need any words. YouTube Video.

5. Sum 41 - Fat Lip I’m crazy about this song thanks to Guitar Hero. I have my own version of what I thought the lyrics were before I got the real song. Either way, this one has really grown on me. YouTube Video.

6. Smoking Popes - Lucky Day This has been a daily listen for years. I love it, love it, love it. And then I love it some more. I couldn’t find a YouTube video for it, so be sure to click on that Amazon link and scroll for the song samples. Listen to it. You’ll love it, too.

7. Cheap Trick - If You Want My Love I love me some Cheap Trick. And I love you. I play this and think of you. I know, I know. You’re sitting there thinking, “Who me? She can’t mean me.” Yes. You. It’s all about you. And me. And me thinking about you. YouTube Video.

Since I’m an illegal participant in this meme, I won’t tag anyone. If you want to play, go for it! Then, tell me. I’d love to know what you’re listening to now.

I had almost forgotten about Joe Satriani. When I was a kid my dad played all of this stuff and had the tapes. When I linked over to the youtube video it reminded me so much of my childhood and my dad playing these songs just as good as this man does. I’ll have to write about this sometime. I love music like this and it’s because of my dad.

Cool list, Leslie… and just so you know, when I saw your comment about not being tagged, I tagged you anyway!
