The letters VW, my friends! The Alphabet Music Meme draws ever nearer to its end! Alas! This has been so much fun!

Sep. 13th, 2007 01:18 amI cannot figure out why the Us were so hard. Hey, whatever! An excuse to use my new icon!
( The Alphabet Music Meme continues! )
Blah, that was so boring. And full of "un"s. Sorry. I'm sure I'll make it up with the Vs. This'll learn me...something, probably.

Sep. 10th, 2007 07:47 pmMore Alphabet Music Meme goodness for youse all. Previous installments here. ( And T beneath this cut )
I still feel guilty about cutting "The Touch" by Stan Bush from this list. I'm a total sucker for all the sons from the animated Transformers movie. Oh well.

ABC Music Meme
Nov. 21st, 2006 12:36 amI've gotten as far as D, and even though others doing this meme ( ::coughcough![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
deepredbellecoughcough:: ) have already passed me, I'm fairly proud of that accomplishment. Especially with the scattered nature of my music collection right now.
D is for...
1. Darling Nikki - The Foo Fighters
(D is for "Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, sweeeeeeet")
Originally covered by Prince, but made much hotter and sluttier by Dave Grohl and Company. The unapologetic sexuality of the titular heroine is so much fun, it surprises me that this ever made it on the air. Because most sexualized pop maivens succeed by selling themselves as the sexual object, not as the sexual person. Very refreshing.
"Thank you for a funky time...Call me up whenever you want to grind"
2. Drive - Melissa Ferrick
(D is for "doing it")
Add this to your list of songs to bump and grind to, folkses. Lovely story about making a man absolutely crazy with how fucking sensual his girl is. Melissa Ferrick wins at life for this song.
"And your head is bent back, your back is arched...My hand is under there, holding you up"
3. Drinking Song - The Kingsmen
(D is for "drinking"!)
It means more if you're a Columbia grad, but the sentiment is fairly priceless no matter what your alma mater. Sung by a fairly infamous a cappella group from that school, "Drinking Song" is a celebration of the joys of being young and irresponsible with your four, short years of college. What else is college for, really?
"Drink drink drink and then throw up, then get up and drink some more! And if I ever think that I've had too much to drink, well, then I'm probably passed out on the floor!"
4. Driving Lesson - Garbage
(D is for "driven" as in "being driven")
Probably my favorite Garbage B-side ever. Another fairly sexual one, seeing as it makes mostly the same metaphorical reference as the Melissa Ferrick song. But who doesn't get a sexual vibe from Shirley Manson? She totally makes love to everyone when she sings. Britney, take note: she sounds like what breathy singing ought to be, you know, with the actual singing involved. Yeah, I'd do her.
"I can make an honest man of you...I can make you clean if you want me to"
5. Dissolved Girl - Massive Attack
(D is for "downloaded")
Ah, takes me back to 1999. The world was still all a-feared of Y2K, I was still in high school, and The Matrix had not yet been sullied by the sequels. I listened to the soundtrack a hundred times over and scoured the internet to find out what the hell this song was. I knew it as the one "that made Keanu look even cuter while he was sleeping." You shall know it and love it if you do not already.
"Fade, made to fade...Passion's overrated anyway"
Thus ends this installment of the Alphabet Music Meme and its mostly raunchy selections. Feel free to break it up with craziness from Richard Cheese's cover of Down with the Sickness. I've linked to it a hundred times, but I'm just making sure no one goes without--last time I link it, promise. Or, if you're one of those "geeks," you might like a trancy cover by Orbital of the theme to Doctor Who. Either or both, just as you chose.
