Old Music Tuesday: Heaven, Angels, and Samantha Mumba

So many songs from the 90s that I never knew who sung them-obviously anyone older than me likely knows who sings all of these songs.  But here is some classic Old Music Tuesday.

Robbie Williams - Angels:  And through it allllll she offers me protection a lot of love and affection whether I'm right or wronggg.  I will stop singing for you now, see below for my audio recording.  -Calm down, I was kidding.  Apparently he was HUGE in the UK but this song is huge in my heart...

Samantha Mumba - Gotta Tell You: This song is also moving, but in a different way-in the shake that on the dance floor kind of way.  Gotta love a good chair dance that leads to floor humping.

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss: I guess I'm going back to this heaven theme by accident.  I had no idea this song was by Pearl Jam...probably because it isn't...it was written by Wayne Cochran but covered by my 11th grade English teacher's favorite band.  He would put quotes from Eddie Vedder on the top of all our major assignments.  Anyways here is a a picture of clouds with the song's audio...

Old Music Tuesday: Presidents & Garbage

Okay so I am a tad too distracted by The Voice the debates to spend the time Old Music Tuesday deserves.  So I wanted to leave you with all the garbage these presidential candidates be bringing (that is a joke based on the two songs I have selected).  Anyways I just really wanted to post these two songs and that was all I had time for...


Presidents of the United States - Peaches: Movin to the country gonna eat a lot of peaches....  Yeah.  This is what the presidential debates should focus on: whether or not peaches should be free..

Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid:  Such a good grunge, maybe I will put her in my binders full of women.  Just playing, I'm too paranoid..

Sorry for the weaksauce post tonight.  I didn't want to leave you without some old music Tuesday and it is getting down to the wire.







I don't find any presidents all that sexy.  They're not very rock'n'roll.  - Carmen Electra

Old Music Tuesday: BREAKUP SONGS

All my single ladies (and gents) put your hands up!  It feels like the right time to look back to the 90s (and early 2000s) for some classic and/or ridiculous breakup songs.  So fasten your seatbelts and let us fast forward to the end of a relationship (or rewind to the 90s).


2ge+her - The Hardest Part of Breaking Up: ..is getting back your stuff.  One of the best 90s boy bands wasn't even real--created for a MTV movie then a TV show and had some of the greatest slash cheesiest songs.  So check out one of the best of their songs (don't worry I promise to return to them in another post and talk about the adorable QT).

Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know:  Where else can you go but Alanis for the best breakup shouting.  Aww Joey from Full House...well he thinks the song is about him but Alanis may never tell.

Hilary Duff - So Yesterday:  Not the angriest of songs but leave it to Lizzie McGuire to tell it like it is.  If you're over me I'm already over you.  No shame, I am singing along right now.

Ben Folds Five - Song for the Dumped:  Give me money back you bitch...  this one really hits home for a friend of mine...  So anyways Ben Folds always knows how to capture a moment.  He is also a judge on the Sing-Off --just like Shawn Stockman who was on last Tuesday's post.

Blu Cantrell - Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops):  I wanted to start and end with THE BEST SONGS EVER.  Kay so at least the best songs for this post--you may have forgotten about this greatness but please take a listen.  You will remember it and get up and sing along.

Hope you enjoyed getting your breakup on.





There is one thing I would break up over, and that is if she caught me with another woman.  I won't stand for that. - Steve Martin

Thursday Radio Roundup: No Rain, Freshmen & Candy

This week is so 90s alt rock you'll whip out your flannel.  I found a new radio station on my little corner (armpit) of the world (New Jersey) that plays the best combo of 90s alt rock and current indie rock AKA heaven.  Which is why this Thursday Radio Roundup actually has good tunes.

The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen: We were merely freshmen, such a downer.  Starting off sad because it can only get happier.  Well I can't think of too many happy and exciting 90s alt rocks so I guess it'll have to stay at this level.

Blind Melon - No Rain:  The bumble bee.  I was a bumble bee for Halloween once...it did not look like that.  Such a classic song slightly overrated and underrated all at the same time.

Marcy Playground - Sex & Candy:  Best descriptions ever: disco superfly.  This music video surely is a dream--it is literally a nightmare but definitely a favorite song. It is really putting me in the mood....for some candy... smarties anyone?

I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness.  I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain. - Audrey Hepburn

Old Music Tuesday: DUETS

I know you've been desperately checking this blog the past few Tuesdays...and now Thursdays and I am very sorry to have disappointed you!  To make it up to you I was going to give you double the music but I'm lazy so instead I will give you twice the artists.  So let us DO IT (DU-ET...DUET...get it yet??).




Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men - One Sweet Day:  Too many Mariah Carey duets to choose from.  I miss the days when she sang incredibly poweful songs.  And hellooo Shawn Stockman one of the great judges on The Sing-Off, which I obviously love (see old posts).

Salt-N-Pepa & En Vogue - Whatta Man:  This is more like a groupet then a duet but I couldn't leave it out. I think I'm obsessed with SnP  When asking my friend if she could think of a mighty good man, she suggested Colbert & Lincoln...  So if you know any good men that dig 90s music...we apparently need help.

Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey - When You Believe:  Sorry but Mariah just kills it in so many duets--you can't fight it!  This song was in the Prince of Egypt but most importantly two of the greatest voices ever came together to just shut the place down (not sure what place..my room maybe?).

Brandy & Monica - The Boy is Mine:  Saved the best for last of course!  I did a lip sync to this song back in middle school with a good friend (who also took part in the Spice Girls dance cause you were obviously wondering).  Can you guess if I was Brandy or Monica?

Also fun fact: one of the former members of Dream Street auditioned for The Voice..check out an Old Music Tuesday post with Dream Street here.
