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

...Baby One More Time
Bowling for Soup
A song you'd like to hear covered by someone else. Which artist?
At first, I thought that was a weird and borderline rude question to say that you would be listening to a song and think I wish someone else was singing it.
But, those are some of the best covers.
I picked this song because I've heard a couple covers of it and I think having someone like Barry White sing it might be an interesting twist.

A song from the last gig you went to.
The last gig
that I went to was for an up and coming singer named Madonna.
Unfortunately it wasn't that great because the energy just wasn't there. The first couple of rows were filled with people just sitting there with their arms folded.
COME ON PEOPLE!!! THIS IS MADONNA!!!
I miss the other local stadium that was torn down.

I'm Still Standing
Taron Egerton
A song that you discovered on a film soundtrack.
This is my favorite song on the album. At this point, I knew of Elton John but only knew of Candle in the Wind
and Can you feel the love tonight
.
I missed one!
Caribbean Queen (No More Love On the Run)
Billy Ocean
A song you'd do at karaoke?
I do not consider myself as having a deep voice but this is the song that calls to me to sing. My family probably would have thought that I would do something from Michael Jackson. Maybe it's because I'm such a fan of Michael Jackson that I don't want to do one of his songs.
This one has very simple lyrics and a chance to breath before you belt out the next verse.
