Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Music Monday

April 4, 2011

This will be a little different because it’s not about any specific music, but the fact that my music seems to follow me everywhere I go. I know you think it’s crazy, but my older kids have witnessed this so they know what I am talking about. Let me explain.

I go into a store, say Hastings, and I’m browsing the books and what do I hear? One of my favorite songs! What makes it really creepy is when that song is followed by another of my favorites and usually these are together on one of my homemade cd mixes. Even creepier? Every store you go in that day is playing those songs!! Yes, this has really happened! I’m not talking about a one off here, it happens A LOT. Matt even said that when he was in college (1500 miles away), he’d go into a store and what would the music be? Something of mine! It drove him crazy – hehe.

Here’s another example. Matt and I were out shopping on Saturday and went into Ci-Ci’s for pizza. We paid our money and sat down and then I noticed the music – “Some Like it Hot” by Power Station – now that is NEVER played anymore so only us “old” people would recognize it. What song was next? “She Blinded Me With Science” by Thomas Dolby – that’s when I knew it was happening again!! Then, “Planet Earth” by Duran Duran!! Both Matt and I were ecstatic and practically yelled, “YES!” at the same time!! And on and on it went – one great 80’s tune after another. I really wanted to ask the manager sitting at the table across from us if it was his collection although he was much younger than me. :-) At any rate I’m sure he thought I was crazy. BTW – here’s the rundown:

“Some Like It Hot” – Power Station (RIP Robert Palmer)

“She Blinded Me With Science” – Thomas Dolby

“Planet Earth” – Duran Duran

“Eyes Without A Face” – Billy Idol

“Look of Love” – ABC

“Sexy and 17” – Stray Cats

Now that’s a lineup I can love! So, next time you hang with me in a store or the mall, guess what music they’re probably going to play?? Just warning ya!

Ugh... your stupid songs even followed me all the way out to Florida. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to kill myself when I would be at McDonald's and some Madonna song would start playing.
But, yes, Planet Earth was a very welcome surprise :)
