Jukebox VII

I have added a few songs to my iPhone this week. I broke down and got the Darius Rucker CD - it is just ok. I downloaded Flo Rida's hit Right Round after his performance on American Idol. I finally ripped my Alabama CDs - these guys are amazing. Anyway, a few of these songs made it into my Jukebox this week.

1. Right Round - Flo Rida

Ok, I have no idea what he is saying, BUT using the Puff Daddy way of remixing songs that were popular is ingenius. Every one knows You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive, therefore, Flo's song already has mass appeal. Don't hate on him P. Diddy made an entire empire based on this strategy.

2. 'N Dey Say - Nelly

I am all about the hip hop this week - and I am all about the songs that bite off others songs. Nelly borrowed a little from Spandau Ballet's True for this song...no idea why it wasn't a bigger hit in America - I love it.

3. Here Comes Goodbye - Rascal Flatts

Chris Sligh co-wrote this song for RF - he was on American Idol a few seasons ago. The song is awesome...

4. The Long Goodbye - Brooks & Dunn

I know they say if you love somebody you should set them free, but it sure is hard to do, it sure is hard to do. I know they say if they don't come back again then it's meant to be, those words don't pull me through. Cause I'm still in love with you. I spend each day here waiting for a miracle, but it's just you and me goin' through the mill, climbin' up a hill.

5. Amarillo Sky - Jason Aldean

I am becoming a huge fan of Jason Aldean. I have heard a lot of his songs, but She's Country really stuck with me...which caused me to give him another look...and I really like his music.

6. White Horse - Taylor Swift

I have reason why I like this song...maybe because I like ballads, maybe because I like songs full of emotion...and most of her songs are bubbling with emotion. Oh, don't look at me like that for liking Taylor Swift...her concert at Staples Center sold out in less than 60 seconds. I am not the only one who likes her. I may be the only male over 30...man that sucks!

7. I Get Around - Tupac Shakur

Songs remind me of places and times...and this song is high school with my buddy Daniel. I think this song came out right after 'Pac left Digital Underground...anyway...the song is tight. Oh, and I had to butch this post up a bit after #6.

8. It's Not Over - Daughtry

I have no idea how - holy cow I can't remember the guys name - won American Idol. [He was the old guy with gray hair...somehow beat Katharine McPhee...ahhhh, when I used to like AI...I digress] Daughtry was clearly the best singer from that season...which also featured Chicken Little (the kid who looked like the cartoon). Oh, also Kellie Pickler and Bucky Covington (both of whom have had moderate success since Idol - PS...Kellie attaching to Taylor Swift was a stroke a genius...not necessarily for Taylor, but definitely for Kellie). I still remember Chris rocking out to Bon Jovi early in that season...and thinking this guy is awesome. My second favorite Idol performance of all time...only behind that beat boxing guy. I should really google this stuff before I post...but I won't.

NEW REPO LISTS WILL BE POSTED TOMORROW!!!!
