Cordelia ,'Storyteller'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
My two sisters in the room next to mine would play Billy Joel's The Stranger, Queen's News of the World, and Supertramp's Breakfast in America over and over and over again. I don't think they had any other albums.
No wait, they had Led Zeppelin IV, but the only track they would play was "Stairway to Heaven". Repeatedly.

Wait, are we related? That was ME!
I inherited my sister's 45s which included "Mony Mony" by Tommy James and A Question of Temperature by The Balloon Farm (awesomecakes song!)
My dad liked big band music but rarely played it. He talked about Harry James a lot. My mom liked choogling around the living room to CCR, but I was basically on my own and found music by reading Creem magazine from an early (14ish?) age.
Oft-heard music around my parents' house: The Clancy Brothers, ABBA, Creedence Clearwater Revival, BOB MOTHERFUCKING SEGER, Heart, the "Flashdance" soundtrack, and many, many musicals. So many musicals. But, my mom was also an aerobics instructor, so she ended up buying a lot of singles on 45 to develop new routines for, which made me hear a lot of Top 40 rock & pop. (Never mind that she thought that Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like A Lady" was "Do The Funky Lady", and got frustrated when she couldn't find that in the bins.)
And in other news:
I am making a Bad playlist - so far I have:
Cory Branan, "A Bad Man Might Do You Good"
Cobra Starship, "I Make Good Girls Go Bad"
Pink, "Bad Influence"
Joan Jett, "Bad Reputation"
David Allan Coe, "Need A Little Time Off For Bad Behavior"
George Thorogood, "Bad To The Bone"
What else should I put on? I don't want songs like "Bad Moon Rising" - that's more of a passive thing, and I want Instigator/Trickster songs. Thoughts?
"I Wanna Do Bad Things with You" - can't remember the name of the artist, but it's used as the theme music for True Blood.
"They Did a Bad Bad Thing" - Chris Isaak. Not really trickster/instigator, but about those types.
"Bad Bad Leroy Brown"
I suggested that, and bad boys by Wham!, but got snerked at.
It was more the Wham! than anything else. It's an instinctual reaction! I can't help it!
uh huh
