Maybe I should've posted this as song # 2 . LOL. Oh well, I didn't think of it soon enough.
This just a fun, get your mood up, immature, party song. Really opposite to yesterdays posts. Well you know what? I need a fun song to get over monday blah blues. I think everyone does.
I've noticed that this is one of the few songs where the singer doesn't change his voice to an american sounding (or Canadian sounding!) accent, it just stays as a British accent. Kinda rare I've noticed. Makes the song even cooler, if you ask me.
Anyways, have fun. Hope your Monday wasn't too bad, I know I'm wishing for the weekend already!

Song 26 - Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjNjJR9jUGo
Another song with many Pearl Jam members? A political message? Anyone else see a theme tonight? LOL.
I didn't do it on purpose, I was just in the mood to listen to these songs. Meh, they're both great songs so who cares?
I have to say I LOVE the combonation of Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder's voices. They fit togehter so well! They have to do a duet with eachother some time soon!
The whole band was put together in order to make an album to comemorate Andrew Wood. To me though, in this particular song I don't hear the influence. I don't know, maybe I'm just being really dumb and not hearing it? If you do hear please comment bellow and explain it to me. I would greatly appreciate. :) Anyways, what I do hear in the song is that they have no problem stealing from the mouths of decadence-the wealthy, greedy, snobs who care about nothing but themselves. In the meantime there are people in the world missing basic necesities, such as food. To stand up agains this they're going on a hunger strike. Inspiring? I think so. Maybe I'll go on a hunger strike sometime soon...

Song 25 - Jeremy by Pearl Jam
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS91knuzoOA
Sorry another double up day. I was sooo tired yesterday, I couldn't do like anything. Anyways...onto le chanson.
I know a lot of people rip on PJ and just say they're Nirvana rip offs. Now I don't think that's true at all, I think there's a clear difference betweem the 2 bands sounds. You have to be nearly def if you can't distinguish between the 2. Not to mention they were rival bands xD Though I do like a few PJ songs (hence this post) I personally think Nirvana IS better.
This song has an important political message. I think this often lost in more modern music, not so many songs with messages. This song also is not just about big headline news. Infact, the very opposite. It's about paying attention to the 'small' tragedies that happen on a daily basis and not just going numb to it simply because we 'see too much of this stuff too often' or because the media doesn't shove it in ou faces.
Sorry for going on a little rant there...I'll end it off on a happier note. Something that kinda ruins the value of the song. I thought the lyrics were "Jeremy's more than class d" ad my lil sis thought it was "Emily's smoke'n weed." I thought hers was too funny. lol.
Onto the next song,

Song 24 - Electric Feel by MGMT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmZexg8sxyk
If you can't tell what the song's about simply by the tittle then just listening for a very short time will give you an idea. xD I love this song though, my favourite MGMT song. (Kids is a very close second) It helps that Andrew's cute, lol. Anyways it's all awesome. The music, the singing, the video. Very...MGMTish? Best chill rockers out there. Great song for a Friday night too. Well have a great weekend!

Song 23 - Headstrong by Trapt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTvu1Yr3Ohk
You have to BLAST this song to really appreciate how awesome it is. It makes you feel so powerful, like you can face anything in the world! That jerk at school/work, your parents yelling at you all the time, who ever! You know they're wrong!
Someone says you're defiant? No - confident, right, headstrong! Keep your head up and do what you have to do. Maybe it's time to do/say what you've wanted to all long! Good luck & believe in yourself!

Song 22 - Bored by Deftones
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WdYo3WlETY&feature=relmfu
lhdlskzfuhy!!! Sorry. I don't know what's up with all my internet problems. I'm trying to get it sorted.
Anyways I put this song up cuz I'm in a "heavy" mood. I find vocally this is not Deftones' heaviest song but the guitar is really killer. So it sorta makes up for it/fills in the gaps. Not to mention the chorus is great.
I also can't help but love this video. I don't know why...punks are appealing to me? The blond guy is pretty cute xD Lol, sorry this is getting totally off track. I'll just hurry and get song 23 up now.

Song 21 - Superstition by Stevie Wonder
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDZFf0pm0SE
OK, I know this song is completely Awol and different from the rest of the songs on this list. I mean it's a jazz/funk song. Sorry for those of you that don't like this drastic difference, it's just a 1 time thing.
I'm learning to play this song in band (alto saxophone) and I can't get it out of my head. It's such an awesome, funky, groovey song. The hardest song I've learnt yet, but still having fun with it.
I hope you can just let loose and enjoy the fun-ness of this song. Try not to bob your head to the tune! There's got to be some variey in the list or it would be soooo boring. The rock/alternative/metal/normal returns tomorrow. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy!
