I say music, you say ____?

For those of you who don't know how important music is to me, consider this: I drove to Nashville today for a little shopping, and the highlight of my trip was listening to my iPod for three hours on the way home.

Most everyone I know has a song attached to them in my mind -- a song they like, an inside joke, something we share. Stargazergirl is Queen's "We Are the Champions." Grrface is Jill Sobule's "Mexican Wrestler." Cheddar FonDrew is The Who's "Real Good Looking Boy," though a close second is the sultry rendition of "Happy, Happy Birthday, Katie (Though I Can't Quite Call You Baby)" that he left on my voicemail on my birthday. Matt of Matt Wins Again is Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World," which, again, was sung to me via voicemail.

... I really like it when people sing songs on my voicemail. I grin for, like, days. Yes, that's a blatant attempt to get more people to call and sing to me. <3

Anyway, surely I'm not the only person who does the song-association bit, which begs the question: What song do you associate with me? For those I didn't list above, my answer is yours for the swapping.

Here's the song I twisted for your benefit:

(Side note: I think it's funny and kinda cool that someone takes the time to tape a record spinning since a video for the song doesn't exist.)

Girl, you opened up a can of worms! I was going to say "We are the Champions," but seeing as you took it already, there is always, "The Three Little Pigs," :) Actually, it's sorta difficult for me to pick just ONE song. That's akin to the "If you could pick ONE SONG for yourself it would be ___" (Funny though, I know what that one is.)

And what do you mean I've never called and sung to you? I did it on the way to work one day, unintentionally. You made fun of my music!!!

Ah, I stand corrected. I'd just never had anyone sing an entire Coldplay album to my voicemail during their commute. [/snark]

Thank God for that little "lock keypad" feature I found on my cell phone after that incident! Hearing me singing Coldplay at 6:30 am can't be pleasant anyway.

I'll make sure to call and sing you some Evanescence since that is my usual these days.
