A couple of days ago I was tagged by DJ Black Adam and charged with completing the following meme: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what they are. They must be songs you are presently enjoying. Being that I’m scared of cool with DJ BA I figured I’d do it, with a twist. I’m going to list my boy’s favorite songs as well as my own.
Devil:Â Â Â Â
- Ice Box by Omarion - He likes to say the line “I’m so cold, I’m so cold, I’m so cold.” He also enjoys performing Lyrical style dance to this song, which is a damn hoot to see.
- Irreplaceable by Beyonce – There’s lots of repetition in this song, and little kids (and apparently adults) love repetition.
- Bad Day by Daniel Powter – If you know my son then the irony is not wasted on you.
- Ordinary People by John Legend – Devil is not into the new Legend CD, but he can still belt out this soulful R&B song. His favorite line “take it [snow], oh,oh oh ooooooh.”
- Hakuna Matata – I purchased the “Lion King” DVD a few years ago before I started my Disney DVD/children’s clothes boycott. The boy dug it out a few weeks ago and has been threatening to kill us all, just like Scar and the hyenas, ever since.
- Believe by Josh Grobin – Christmas is year around in my house as we are forced to read “The Polar Express” and listen to this depressing holiday song.
- Love Supreme by John Colrane – I make him listen to this. I don’t care if he likes it or not.
Keith
- Throw Some Ds by Rich Boy – This may be the catchiest song of the year, kind of in the same league as Young Dro’s Shoulder Lean from last summer
- Diamonds on My Damn Chain by Fabolous and Young Jeezy – When the girl singing the chorus exclaims “I like you, but I really like your damn chain” my wife and I can’t help but laugh. Anything that makes us laugh is a good thing.
- I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For by U2 – I never get tired of hearing this sappy rock classic. Favorite line: “I have kissed honey lips; Felt the healing in her fingertips; It burned like fire; This burning desire.”  Who says crap like that these days?
- I’m a Flirt by R. Kelly – The R is doing big things right now. He’s innocent until proven guilty. In the meantime he should get the girls from off the ground in the video for this song.Â
- Sweet Dreams
