Top of the Top

To pick my top 5 favorite songs is hard….here’s my best shot (with the exception of the first, the order is irrelevant):


1: Baby Got Back Sir Mix A lot
This is by far, without doubt, my number one favorite song! As embarrassing as that may be to some, I am not ashamed. I know every word to it and it always makes me want to dance. There are so many memories that go along with this song as well. It also makes me laugh every time I watch the music video….it’s just awful!

2: Smack That Akon
This song never gets old to me. This is one of the good old rap songs that I never forget about. It always makes me want to dance no matter what the situation is. Sure it’s old and there are definitely better songs out there but to me, it’s as timeless as Christmas!

3: Stand Rascal Flatts
This song is one of those ones about life. Not the yeah yeah life is great or it’s so hard, but a really life is what you make it (and it’s sung by mature people who know what they are talking about). One of my favorite lines in this song is “Life’s like a novel with the end ripped out”. This to me is so true; for a good part of life the story is written, it’s what you do with what is handed to you that matters. This song also has a really sweet melody to it.

4: Pink Tux to the Prom Reliant K
So not only is this band pretty wicked, but this song is awesome as well. There background beat kind of reminds me of the ‘80s (ironic because this time frame is mentioned in the song). I had actually asked my prom date to wear a pink tux….he said yes but I quickly changed my mind!! The song tells a brief story about some people and it is just different.

5: The Boxer Simon & Garfunkel
Ok so this one is the hardest one to do for several reasons. First there are several possible songs that I want to put in the top 5 but there just simply isn’t room. Second, while I really like Simon & Garfunkel, I am not sure this is a good representation. This particular song is a bit sad in the sense that the narrator does not have control over his life. It is also a great homesick song, and while I am far from home it sometimes helps me when (and this is rarely) I get homesick.


So there it is. Probably a bad representation but it is the best I can do.
