On my way to work today I was going through every single station I have programmed in my car and I stopped when I heard a familiar song. Cheap Trick's "I Want You To Want Me" was playing and I was automatically taken back to a date I had about two years ago. We went to a local bar (har har another bar) and he gave me a dollar and told me to go pick some songs on the juke box. I happily (drunkingly?) obliged. I remember walking up to the juke box with so much confidence. I wanted to play fun songs, songs that other people in the bar would recognize and know. Soon that confidence went away because I realized that I didn't know what to pick. My "go-tos" had already been played. I was stumped! I quickly made decisions and figured, "Ehh whatever." I go back to my spot near him at the bar and eventually my songs come on. First was Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit" - WHY DID I PICK THAT?! He laughed at me and asked me the same thing. Then Cheap Trick's song blasted. He turned to me and said, "Is this a hint?" I was immediately embarrassed because it wasn't my intention at all! I did manage to get a kiss out of the whole deal... but I digress!
I laughed when I heard the song this morning and happily (for real this time) sang along. That boy is long gone - good riddance I may add. However, this song continues to put a pep in my step every time I hear it!
What song gets you going in the morning?

I like to listen to really chill music first thing in the morning, like jack johnson or g love, and then after i'm really awake, i like something more upbeat, like the gossip, sons and daughters, alicia keys, the babyshambles... :)
ReplyDeletei agree above with katherine- that song totally makes me think of 10 things i hate about you, lol!
