Oh my god! This is totally my song

Do you ever go to a bar and a song comes on that instantly triggers you to scream out in excitement: "This is totally my song"? Usually this is immediately followed by you singing every word or migrating towards the dance floor.  I have had this happen to me quite a few times and it has gotten me thinking, what is the soundtrack to my life?  Here are some songs I have come up with:

MY THEME SONG

I first heard this song when I lived in Australia, and I was immediately hooked on it. The beat would always get me dancing no matter where I was.  If you haven't heard of Dizzee Rascal you need to check him out.  He is a hip hop artist from the UK and has won statues at:
- Brit Awards
- BET Awards 
- Urban Music Awards
His album Tongue N’ Cheek, was a huge success overseas and is a favourite of mine.
MY PARTY SONG

No matter where I am at a bar I will rush to the dance floor when I hear this song, and yes, I’m that girl rapping every word.  This is an old school jam that always takes me back to the days of Next Friday, Save the Last Dance and when Ice Cube wasn't making family movies.  

Fun Fact
Did you know that Ice Cube created his own social media site back in 2008 called UVNTV?  It's the same sort of idea as YouTube, but the site unfortunately didn't survive. It is nice to know that even gangsta rappers are contributing to Web 2.0. 

MY LOVE SONG


I’m not a hopeless romantic but this song always makes me feel warm and mushy inside.  Neil Young is one of my favourite Canadian artists and at this year’s Juno Awards he is being acknowledged for not only his music but also his humanitarian efforts.  I absolutely love this song; make sure you take a listen.
Hopefully I introduced you guys to some new music or reintroduced to some solid tunes you might have forgotten. I would love to know: what is your theme song? or what songs would be on your soundtrack?

  1. I always love watching girls (especially girls because guys don't do this), scream with excitement when they hear a song come over the speakers of a club. Or better yet, seeing the driver in the car next to you reach over to turn up the volume as their favourite song just came on the radio. It's interesting how many of us will listen to these songs you've posted but all have completely different memories, meanings and associations to them. Props to all those artists out there writing the soundtracks to our lives. Here's one that has stayed with me during my travels http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7mZkt4bP5I
