Harder To Breathe
Maroon 5
A song from college or early adulthood.
I distinctly remember having an opportunity to see these guys in concert for free.
I chose to hang out with some friends and those plans fell through.
I kick myself on a regular basis because of it.
Achy Breaky Heart
Billy Ray Cyrus
What's a song that you like but most of your friends don't.
I'm just going on a limb here. In all honesty, I don't talk to my friends about music that they don't like.
I like this song it's fun and light. I think there's also a line dance as well.
Somebody's Watching Me (Single Version)
Rockwell
A song from the 1980s that you like or means something to you.
Tis the season! I like this song more because I know some of the history behind it. Rockwellwas actually the son of Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown and used this name to get signed.
Michael Jackson sings the chorus but isn't credited and I like to think of it as the Halloween Michael Jackson song that isn't Michael Jackson.

Ain't No Sunshine
Bill Withers
A song from the 1970s that you like or means something to you.
I like this song because my wife likes it when I sing it to her.
She deserves every love song and more.

Limbo Rock
Chubby Checker
A song from the 1960s that you like or means something to you.
This is the song that my local skating rink would play when it was time to do limbo. Everyone who wanted to participate would get into a line to have a turn to try and skate under the limbo bar.
I keep remembering lines like Don't move that Limbo Bar
and How low can you go?
I never won, but it was always fun to try new styles to get under the bar.
It wasn't until years later that I learned that other people limbo without skates.
Rock Around the Clock
Bill Haley and His Comets
A song from the 1950s that you like or means something to you.
This song means a lot to me because it was used repeatedly when I was learning how to swing dance. I had no rhythm so I had to learn the anticipate the beats in the music. For someone learning, having a regular beat is very, very important.
Even now, I do not actually hear the words when this song plays. I hear 1 and 2, 3 and 4
.
Theme from "Greatest American Hero" (Believe It or Not)
Joey Scarbury
A song from a TV show that you like.
I think this song has outlived the tv show and I think it's wonderful in how it expresses joy.
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me
I should set a reminder to listen to this song on a regular basis so that I can think about the things that I'm grateful for.
What is a song by an artist you don't usually like?
I'm not saying I didn't like Drake before we all knew that he was not like us. I am saying that there was just something about the music that he was associated with that didn't appeal to me.
Still, there is something about this song. Maybe it's the story of how a Good Guy
perceives not ending up with the girl or how people can get caught up in living the fast life.
Pizza Power
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A song from the first gig you went to.
When I was a kid, Pizza Hut had a tie in with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I believe that if you bought a certain amount of pizza you could get a discount on the Coming Out of Their Shells soundtrack.
I don't know what better or worse, this or a McDonald's Happy Meal.
Killing In the Name
Rage Against the Machine
What's your favorite protest song?
Kind of hard to beat a song that repeatedly says
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
