Song of the Week

This week’s song of the week is a bit strange… at least, strange for Good Charlotte. Because, well, that’s who sings it. It’s called “Like it’s her birthday” and well, it’s quite something! Take a listen.

So, still in a party music mood! This week is Ke$ha, who, as most of you know, totally has the slut image. But, her music is undeniably catch, and I find myself randomly singing this song!

This week it’s another fun dancing song! I’m in a celebratory mood right now, and it will probably continue!! It’s Adam Lambert’s “If I Had You”

This song is part of my farewell Peoria party weekend! It’s freaking incredible, fun, and a complete blast. It’s Enrique Iglesias featuring Pitbull with “I like it”

This week’s song is a bit unusual for me. In the past I’ve not particularly fancied Eminem’s music. I generally find him crude and immature. However, in his latest album “Recovery” he’s shown a bit of personal growth. Still a touch of immaturity at times in his lyrics, but overall, it’s obvious he’s grown quite a bit. With that, this song it focused on abusive relationships. It very appropriately features Rihanna, who has a history of abuse herself. The song’s theme is how abusive husbands/boyfriends never change, and how often abuse victims end up enjoying the pain in a kind of twisted manner. “Love the Way you Lie” is a powerful song about abuse, and hopefully it will raise the profile of the abused around the nation with its popularity.

This week was one of the hottest weeks I think we’ve had in a little while. So, to honor it… I’ve chosen a mashup of some of the hottest songs of the summer. DJ Earworm does it again with “Like, OMG Baby Summer 2010″.

I’ve been kind of obsessed with this song for the last couple weeks, and it pretty well describes this week at work. Though, I do have to say, going to Indiana was fun. Just the whole crazy work schedule hours thing, yuck.

It’s “Misery” by Maroon 5. I am SO glad that they are back and producing new stuff.

This week’s song of the week is one of those fun bar songs! It’s hilarious, and I can’t help but smile every time I hear it! It’s called “You Look Better When I’m Drunk” By the White Tie Affair.

One Word: Awesome (NSFW)

Lady Gaga has done it again, completely rocked a terrific song by reworking it, and creating a theatrical production. This time, it draws heavily from Madonna, and you can see flavors of it all the way through. I think it’s full of irony that she uses WW2-esque German uniforms for her dancers, considering some of the themes present in the video. My one criticism of Lady GaGa videos though is pretty standard: Girl, put some damn clothes on, it won’t hurt you. She loves making sure her crotch is prominently displayed in many scenes. Seriously, the rumors that you had a, well, not so girlie part down there, were debunked a long time ago. Stop trying to prove the point!!!

I did enjoy the artistic flare as usual… and the production quality was excellent! Check it out

One last thing… pay close attention to the two symbols being carried by the dancers in the marching scene. Let me know what you think they represent… I have some ideas but I’d love to hear yours.

Because I am in just a weird mood, here is a weird song of the week! It’s “Stjerner” by Karpe Diem. It’s Norwegian, if you’re wondering. How did I figure this out? I looked up the lyrics, and Google Chrome let me know what language it was in I love Google!
