salright you guys, here is the first part of what i hope can be a weekly feature where we find out what we all listen listen to when the weather gets hotter, the days get longer, and the clothes get breezier. of course i started off with a realllllllllllll easy pick, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's Summertime. just listen to that barbecue ready chorus and sunset inviting beat. oooohhhhhweeee so sweet!
i know this is a song i likely shouldn't like, being a dude and all, but in reality i loved that whole record they call futuresex/lovesounds -- there was a lot of really groundbreaking stuff on that record and this song is time we hear the lethal combo of JT & TI. love the laziness.
i love this song, it might just be the cheeriest thing to have ever been sung by swedes, which is saying something. i love how the band members (at this point there were 29!) just appear out of nowhere and make it a big huge sing along.
i remember in tenth grade when my friend graham used this song in his credits for his flash project on don quixote. before then i could take or leave this song, but its a wicked fun and furious cover of such a smooth song. nearly raunchy bassline, man i love that bassline.
y'all haters need to shush it on that gossip. i really do get pretty happy whenever i hear a new track by missy elliot, her creative presence made rap fun and playful in an era where the genre sure seemed like a lot of people to be going downhill. by the way, them girl dancers, BADASS
this song is simpy too sweet, too perfectly instrumented and too awesome not to love. and i don't know that this is actually a depeche mode song, anyone know for sure?
man i love el guincho, everything he does just feels so lighthearted even at its saddest. kind of like drinking sangria! i think what amazes me is how he almost makes these musical jokes, or at least i think he does. LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAA
honestly, i can't think of a song that has a more perfect chorus to is, its really the perfect summer song, with the perfect summer time escapist story behind it. the song is actually based on an elderly couple from salado texas simply driving away instead of going to a nearby famiy reunion. they never got there, but we instead found in arkansas some days later at the bottom of a canyon. sad, but really kinda really cool don't you think?
this might be the happiest song i've ever thought was happy but was actually kinda sad. it is to be played at my funeral, and i love how the first line is an ode to another summertime classic. enjoy!
