Sing... sing a song...

[tzikeh]

Name one song you hate to admit you like.
"Dancing Queen" by ABBA.

Name two songs that always make you cry.
"1,000 Candles, 1,000 Cranes" by Small Potatoes
"Puff the Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul, and Mary (and shut up)

Name three songs that turn you on.
Music itself never turns me on sexually - it can be a side-dish, but it's never the main course.

Name four songs that always make you feel good.
"Sweet Home Chicago" by the Blues Brothers
"As Cool as I Am" by Dar Williams
"Fish Heads" by Barnes and Barnes
"Loup Garou" by Tangelfoot

Name five songs you couldn't ever do without.
"History Repeating" by the Propellerheads
"May I Suggest" by Susan Werner
"The 3 Dreams of J. Robert Oppenheimer" by Suzanne McDermott
"The Mountain" by Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer
"Love Shack" by the B-52s

ETA: It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that on a different day, I might have chosen different songs. And if you want to hear any of these, drop me a line.

::outing self as enormous geek, like that will surprise anyone:: You don't cry when you listen to "The Rainbow Connection"?

Rainbow Connection

Ah, Rainbow Connection --

I'll tell you. Well, first of all, obviously, the list is in no way complete - I mean, it asks for two songs that always make me cry. Those were the two I chose. BUT - Rainbow Connection. Tom Smith wrote a song called "A Boy and His Frog" which is about Jim Henson's death from Kermit's point of view. And it RIPS ME TO SHREDS. That's the song I always cry at, not RC. He says he can no longer perform it without segueing immediately into Rainbow Connection so that the audience can sing along and feel happier.

And I cannot listen to it on the Loop soundtrack without moving into deep, dark, take-me-now-Lord depression.

It's gorgeous, but DAMN.

And why would I mock you for "Puff?" You mean everyone doesn't cry at "Puff?"

Have you heard Dar Williams' "Playing to the Firmament"? It's kind of Dancing Queen-esque without being ... well, Dancing Queen-esque. I love it. It's my #1 happy song.

I have the complete Dar oevre, yes, and that's a great song. ;)

Ah, Susan Werner! Okay, speaking of songs that make one cry: "Like Bonsai." AUGH.
