I just wanted to write a random blog and nothing more random than what songs I currently consider MY JAM which, when played in a bar or club setting, watch out for my drink spilling on you because I AM GONNA BUST A MOVE (or something).
But probably mainly just spill my drink because I can’t dance. Enthusiasm counts for something.
Far East Movement feat. the Cataracs – Like a G6
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4s6H4ku6ZY]
If I had a soundtrack to my life, which I really wish I did, this song would be played in every single life moment where I need to get pumped up (for a lack of a better term). And yeah, the song is about popping bottles in the ice… like a blizzard… and sober girls acting drunk, but I can’t help but feel a bit better when I hear it.
Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic]
Sure, this song is OVERPLAYED to the max and there are a bajillion lip dubs/parody videos on the net made to this song, but it is like ear crack. The lyrics suck and I’m not even sure how sensical the song is but I can’t stop listening to it.
Flo Rida feat. David Guetta – Club Can’t Handle Me
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgM3r8xKfGE]
I especially like playing this song at the gym, but substituting the word “club” for “gym” and it totally pumps me up.
Foster the People – Pumped up Kicks (Skeet Skeet remix)
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFA1VZl1mQ8]
The original might not be the best song to dance to (I still love Foster the People) but this remix is one of the best. Ever.
Calvin Harris – Feel so Close
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGghkjpNCQ8]
As the song starts with the piano chords, you’re like “meh” but when the beat picks up, you gotta bust a move! Plus, I heard it so many times when I was in Thailand that I can’t help but associate it with good times.
Avicii – Levels
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ovdm2yX4MA]
Similar to Feel so Close, this has a similar effect and similar nostalgia.
Michel Teló – Ai Se Eu Te Pego
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcm55lU9knw]
On my recent Italy/Greece trip, this was our tour song. I like it mostly because of that but also the catchiness and the accordion. Really, who would’ve thought that adding an accordion to the mix would make a song so much better? Plus there’s a dance that goes along with the song and it’s like the macarena, pretty easy to pick up.
Gusttavo Lima – Balada Boa
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYhF56heGxw]
Continuing on in the “songs I don’t understand because they are in Portuguese and have an accordion” is this song. I don’t know how to sing along, nor would I attempt to (I can KIND of sing along to Ai Se Eu Te Pego, definitely not this) and the chorus sounds like it’s just a weird stutter, but it’s still freakin’ catchy.
Super Junior – Mr.Simple
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6TwzSGYycM]
Next in my “I have no idea what the lyrics are but I like this” song list is Mr. Simple from humongous Korean boyband, Super Junior. The only part I can sing along to is when they say ALL RIGHT, BLOW YOUR MIND and the occasional parts when they repeat “simple” a couple times. The rest of the time I just make random sound effects.
PSY – GANGNAM STYLE
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0]
Same category of “I have no idea what the lyrics mean” and in this case, the music video is a giant WTF but regardless of that, is this catchy or what? If you don’t think this is catchy, I question your entire life.
