Janet Jackson – "Doesn't Really Matter" (2000)
2010/08/25
This is probably my favorite Janet Jackson song (and it is all G's fault :). It has some quirkly lyrics and musical bits. I like that.

Lady Gaga (feat. Beyoncé Knowles) – "Telephone" (2009)
2010/08/22I don't know as though I have intentionally played this song on its own ever before today. I didn't need to. It is pervasive (much like the insulation now in my lungs).
I blame G mostly, who loves the song enough to learn the dance (shown in the diner dancing scene). She hurt her knee in the process, so she had "Telephone Knee" as we called it. Then after spending copious time on the actual phone, her elbow hurt, so she had "Telephone Elbow". Every minor cut or scrape was "Telephone Something". I think she had "Telephone Foot" for a day.
It is all very funny to me because for months G resisted liking Lady Gaga but now loves her. As I said before, "Approve or disapprove, original or not, good or bad there is something entertaining and bizarre, appealing and repulsive about Lady Gaga." Love her or hate her, Lady Gaga is here to stay.
If you want the song, without the story line or the Pussy Wagon (Kill Bill!), here you go:
For those who love her or hate her, and have seen the "Telephone" video, this parody by barelydigital.com is a hoot!
I totally cracked at "Rub-a-dub-dub three nuns in a tub, and they're doing it with a garden gnome". And if you're wondering about the "lotion in the basket" reference, you need to listen to this.
And for those who also want to develop a case of "telephone knee"…
I think I'll pass though.

Justin Timberlake (feat. Timbaland) – "SexyBack" (2006)
2010/06/16
G finally played me SexyBack one too many times. I now not only like it, it is stuck in my head. Like so many before me, I can resist Justin no longer. *sigh*
If you "men" out there can't handle it, perhaps watching this video will sway your opinion…

Britney Spears – "Circus" (2008)
2010/04/24
I have this personal rule that if a song is stuck in my head in the morning, it is immediately the song of the day, unless I already posted the song or that artist recently. Today the song is Britney Spear's "Circus". I can't seem to get it out of my head either despite playing other music. So I bow to my crazy brain, the universe, G's playlist, or whatever is making this song go around and around in my head like a Merry-Go-Round, or maybe a Round Up. (Love that ride.) Seems more like an amusement park than a circus though.
And as for whether Britney is a "guilty pleasure" or not, I will quote myself from a comment I put on yesterday's song, London Bridge" by Fergie…
"I've been wondering about the "guilty pleasure". If you like some kind of music, why should you feel guilty about it? Why should certain types of music be off limits to anyone? So what if we like Fergie, Britney Spears, or even Hannah Montana? It is all just art. If we like it and feel guilty about it, then are we ashamed of part of our personality? Are we guilty because we are not conforming to what society deems we should like and dislike. Screw that! It just doesn't seem right. I deem all my guilty pleasures to be guilty pleasures no longer."
You should too. Otherwise aren't you just lying to yourself about yourself?
