Billy Don't Be a Hero
Love!
Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head.
Love! (and have particularly lovely childhood memories of this one, too)
This Guy's In Love With You
Love! (Sorry, JZ)
Crimson and Clover
Love! The use of this song on VM did as much to make me 'ship V/L as their first kiss (and the associated song) and the dance in season 2 (and Sway).
American Pie
Love!
Matilda: Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack."
Well, it's no Paxilback, but it'll do.
Put a little Seratonin in me.
Well, Emmett has the same birthday as John Coltrane, Ray Charles and Bruce Springsteen, so he was due for some birthday musical dorkiness to even the score.
I guess.
I dunno about "completely" -- have you heard the Macarena lately? Its dorkly evil-fu remains shockingly strong, even a decade later.
Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head.
Love! (and have particularly lovely childhood memories of this one, too)
I do, too! Except, for some reason, according to my mom I sang it "Raindrops keep falling on my HIP..."
I love "Billy, Don't Be a Hero," too. I have it on my incredibly dorky 70s tape! That and "Brandy" and "Undercover Angel" and "Thunder Island" and "Shannon" and (of course, I mean really) "Seasons in the Sun."
And I'm not even ashamed a little bit.
Oh, Scott had
She Loves You.
I think our Beatles/Stones combo may make us the couple to beat, in the birth music coolness sweeps. Now I have to see if I even recognize the songs for my kids' birthdays:
Ben (poor little lamb): One Sweet Day Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men
Julia (like the artist, can't remember the song): Doo Wop (That Thing) Lauryn Hill
Chris (for the win): Maria Maria Santana featuring The Product G&B
cereal...
Amy, I don't recognize "Thunder Island" and "Shannon" but am madly in love with the rest of the songs.
I keep waiting to see who had
The Night Chicago Died.
Oh, "The Night Chicago Died" is on my tape, too!
You know "Thunder Island," or you would if you heard it. "...making love, OUT on THUNDER island...da da DA da da DA, DADA..."
"Shannon" was the song about the dog who died. "...she drifted off to sea..." Sappy, absurd, and EXCELLENT.
Let's see:
Jake -- "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," Bryan Adams
Ben -- "Un-Break My Heart," Toni Braxton
Sara -- "Baby Boy," Beyonce featuring Sean Paul
Stephen -- "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter," Herman's Hermits
I broke down and told him, he hasn't broken out in song yet but he's very pleased.
I don't recognise the songs for my niece or nephew at all - R. Kelly and Celine Dion did a duet together? Mom had White Christmas and Dad had Green Eyes. My brother got When a Man Loves a Woman. Nice.
Billy Don't Be a Hero
Love!
I'm questioning the sanity of two people here. "Billy Don't Be a Hero" is on the Top 40 in hell.
You know "Thunder Island," or you would if you heard it. "...making love, OUT on THUNDER island...da da DA da da DA, DADA..."
Oh, yes. I do know it. Who did that?
Stephen -- "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter," Herman's Hermits
Adorable.

We were six or seven years old when it came out. We loved it, then. It stuck.
And when he started to go, she said, "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow..."
