Fun Music Friday

I’m needing a boost today. I need some music to lift my spirits up. Let’s see what I can find…

Ahhh…nothing brings a smile to my face faster than a cover tune by my favorite Canadian band, Walk Off The Earth. This one-take video is awesome.

I never wanted to like this song. I certainly never wanted to love it. But somehow, this little ditty about plastic drinking cups has turned me into one of the sheep. Oh well…I’ll just have to sing along, I guess.

This was a highlight of last weekend’s Bryan Adams concert for me. The crowd had been enjoying his show up until this song, but then for some reason he got everybody up for this one. Imagine this…almost ten thousand people all jumping up and down at the same time (not just dancing, but jumping) and clapping their hands in unison. I was blown away and every time I hear this song now, a smile comes to my face remembering that moment.

It’s Eddy Grant, people! Is that not enough for you?  How about Eddy Grant LIVE playing on some weird French television show with male dancers and people all dressed up?  Yeah…that’s fun for today.

And finally, you simply can’t go wrong with this classic from The Boss…

There…I’m feeling better already. Have a great weekend, everybody!


Fun Music Fridays!

I don’t know about you, but when I get off work on a Friday afternoon I just can’t wait to jump in the car and crank up some music.

Whether I’m off to pick up The Ankle-Biter for the weekend (as will be the case today) or if I’ve got the weekend to myself, music can totally set me free and get me ready for whatever lay ahead.

After weeks of non-stop rain, we’ve finally had three sunny days in a row.  In fact, today is gonna be absolutely gorgeous outside (29 degrees C / 84 degrees F) so I’m gonna want to really have some karaoke moments on the way from work to the Ankle Biter.

So here are some songs that I’ll probably listen to…

First, an awesome live performance of one of my favorite songs by UB-40 (totally thinking of Sunshine):

Next up is simply one of the funnest “sing-along songs” ever to come out of the 80′s (LOVE this performance, too!!)

Finally, a bit of fun from one of my biggest musical guilty-pleasures.  This was the song/video that made me a fan of Weird Al and I’ve been a die-hard fan ever since:

But regardless of your musical tastes, I hope you have a great weekend!!
