The winner of my favorite blog is Wendi Aarons of wendi-aarons.blogspot.com. This is the woman who wrote the famous letter to Proctor & Gamble, thanking them for giving Always maxi pads wings. This woman is too funny. Check her out!
And now, back to our original blog…
I was going through my fabulous iPod Nano (in orange no less) and the following idea hit me:
Ahem. Songs you will never see people singing to audition for American Idol:
- Louie Louie – I believe it’s a rule that if you don’t know the lyrics, Simon gets angry. You won’t like him when he’s angry. Or is that the Hulk? I get them mixed up.
- Convoy – C.W. McCall – Great song but try to audition with it keeping a straight face saying, “This here’s the Rubber Duck. We gonna let them truckers roll, 10-4!” It is impossible and defies the laws of physics.
- The Ballad of the Green Berets – Sgt. Barry Sadler – Such a corny song I’d almost pay someone to try it.
- Run, Joey Run, Joey Run – “Daddy please don’t! It wasn’t his fault! He means so much to me! Daddy please don’t! We’re gonna get married! Just you wait and see!” Ahhh…a timeless classic.
- Godzilla – Blue Oyster Cult – Can be achieved if actually dressed as Godzilla stomping on a model of Tokyo.
- 99 Luftballoons – Nena – Come on, I know you thought about it. “Noneenon shooshtluft balones…” Or something like it.
- I Wanna Be A Cowboy – Boys Don’t Cry – “Riding on the chuckwagon…following my man. His name is Ted…do you believe that?” Sheer poetry on a stick.
- One Step Beyond – Madness – These three words are the only lyrics but this is a salute to one of the very first videos on MTV.
- Day-O – Harry Belafonte – To do this right, you have to do the actions as seen in Beetlejuice.
- In a Gadda Devita – Iron Butterfly – See Louie Louie. Same rule applies. No exceptions.
- King Tut – Steve Martin – Not only is this on my iPod, I know all the words.
- Mah Nah, Mah Nah – Some Muppets – This is my favorite. Nuff said.
I have a small confession. Not only are all these songs really on my iPod, I actually know all the words to all of them.
Don’t judge me. What’s on your iPod?
