i'm sensing a new playlist in the making

why hello folks!!

ya know those songs that were so popular back in the day? like, early 2000's? remember those? well, i recently heard one of those songs, and it sparked a revolution in my brain. and now i must list them.

BLUE (da ba dee) - Eiffel 65: this has literally been one of my favourite songs since i heard it almost 8 years ago. it makes me think of fun, carefree times. just hearing the chorus makes me smile. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc)

WALKING ON SUNSHINE - Aly & A.J.: one of those disney channel hits that you never quite get over. this song always makes me think of summer, friends, laughter, and good times. i want to jump up and down like a little kid when i hear this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gC8wZqnmdo)

A THOUSAND MILES - Vanessa Carlton: hearing that piano intro transports me to the spring and summer of 2002. long car rides with the windows down, hand riding on the air rushing by my face. listening to this song has always made me think of bright colours. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwkej79U3ek)

HEY JULIET - LMNT: i don't know what it is about this song, but despite the terrible cheesiness of it, it's embedded in my brain as one of the ground breaking song of my childhood. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVzXe6kr9rA)

ABSOLUTELY (Story of a Girl) - Nine Days: this is one of those song that i'll never forget. i would sing the chorus over and over again till my whole family hated me. classic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3jx9Wl04sw)

COMPLICATED - Avril Lavigne: everyone's favourite skater girl. such a classic. i never could sing the chorus of this song though. i got fall, crawl, get, what? mixed up EVERY time i tried to sing it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGXYAJoDWCk)

UNWELL - Matchbox 20: the almost haunting quality of this song has always intrigued me, even when i didn't understand what it meant. when i did realize what it was talking about, i fell in love all over again. this song is a piece of art that few have surpassed. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_TL9YFemic)

THE HAMSTER DANCE - Hampton the Hamster: you knew THIS one was gunna be on the list. so many impromptu dance parties by myself in my room when it came on the radio. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3G5IXn0K7A)

ISLAND IN THE SUN - Weezer: one of the best summertime songs out there. reminds me of running around with friends on an summer evening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C3zgYW_FAM)

HANGING BY A MOMENT - Lifehouse: this song has been one of my favourites for a long, long time. the message, the tune, everything about this song makes me happy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-SVDQ6A-Ps&feature=related)

HEY YA - OutKast: there are no words for this song. it's just so good. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw)

WITH YOU - Jessica Simpson: hate on me if you want. i love this song. it makes me think happy thoughts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWl7WjAtBME)

GET THE PARTY STARTED - P!nk: this song has such an infectious beat. and she talks about her mercedes. this one was also featured at my first paw sox game, ergo good memories. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKUs6UoKspA&feature=related)

CHA CHA SLIDE - MC Lyte: i've danced to this song tons of times and it's still as great as it always was. memories associated = block parties. every year we wrapped it up with this song. so awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSnvf7a8YMI

SOAK UP THE SUN - Sheryl Crow: definitely one of the best songs of this era. this is a timeless classic. which expired years ago. but i'll still love it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIYiGA_rIls)


there's definitely a song i can't remember the name of, but rest assured, "i'll think of it"

this has been a pleasant trip down memory lane. what did i leave out? (for the record, pop has gone nowhere but down)


in other news, i'm completely obsessed with psych. it's kind of an issue.
