When I am not preparing for finals I think of things like music, and what my all-time favorite songs are. I've also been prompted into thinking about this by an unknowing friend who recently commented on my great musical taste. So here it is. SOME of the best songs that I feel exist on this planet. Songs that, when they come up on iTunes/Spotify/Marge(my iPod) I usually repeat them at least once.
1. Advice from Them - Aaron Espe
This might be the best bad day song everrrrrrr.
2. In Caelum Fero - Adiemus
My dance studio did an epic pointe dance to this when I was younger. Epic.
3. If All She Has is You - Anuna
This is a recent love. I don't know why I love it. I'm not even sure what it means. My poetic senses don't exist. Is he sad? Is he a jerk? Did she do something? No idea.
4. I Want it All/A Night to Remember/High School Musical - High School Musical 3
:)
5. You're the Top - Barbara Streisand
Love Barbara. Love this movie (What's up Doc?). LOVE this song.
6. Old Joe Clark - Barrage
Just because it brings back wonderful European tour memories.
I may or may not wake up to this song every morning. It never gets old. Infectious Bubble Gum Pop.
8. American Wake (Nova Scotia Set) - Riverdance
My studio also did a pointe dance to this. Of course now that I know Irish I have no idea how they accomplished it...
9. Ain't no Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant
You should all buy this song now. This song will be a wicked dance one day. It looks pretty great in my head.
10. I'll Make a Man Out of You - Mulan
Okay, this is just a classic. I always listen to it at least like 5 times in a row.
11. Viva la Vida and Strawberry Swing - Coldplay
I will never stop saying that this is just about the best album ever to exist on the planet.
12. For You - Duncan Sheik
Fantastic love song. Men, take note. (For all girls in general not just me sillies)
13. Stiff Jazz - Dzihan and Kamien
I can't describe this song to you. At all. Not in real words at least.
14. Let's Groove - Earth, Wind and Fire
There is nothing better than a good disco song.
15. Best of My Love - The Emotions
Disco & love? Two of my favorite things.
16. At Last - Etta James
This requires no explanation
17. Club Can't Handle Me - Flo Rida
Mostly because of this video. And it makes me think about graduating. And they made it for last year's class which I was kind of supposed to be in technically...so really...they made it for me.
18. Christ the Lord is Ris'n Today - Geslison & Groberg arrangement
I played this a lot in the last year with the beautiful Alina Geslison and Ashlee Carroll, and the arrangement is so gorgeous.
19. Don't Stand so Close to Me/Young Girl - Glee Cast
Partially because I have a slight fear of this general situation happening to me as a young/single teacher. And because these songs are awesome.
20. We Could Love - Goot
"If we could just free up the laws that bind our lives then we could love."
21. Ice Cream Freeze (Let's Chill) - Hannah Montana
It's better than the Hoedown Throwdown. Promise.
22. Your Biggest Fan - Nick Jonas
From the delightful and short lived Jonas L.A. I love those boys.
23. Divide Me - Kalai
24. Stronger - Kanye West
I can't stand Kanye. But man this song is fantastic.
25. Love Today - Mika
Is this a music video yet? It needs to be one. If it isn't one, I'll gladly choreograph it.
26. This Will be An Everlasting Love - Natalie Cole
Oh hey guess what, also a dance number from my studio. And it was also amazing. Two of the three of three girls who were in it are now Utah Jazz Dancers.
27. Young - Nickel Creek
There is nothing better than good bluegrass.
28. High of 75 - Relient K
This dance is almost completely choreographed in my head. One day...
29. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh - Say Hi
I may have missed some oh's.
I never told you when this list was going to end did I? Sucka's!
30. Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) - Shakira
Also because of a Divine Comedy skit
31. Dora the Female Explorer - Stackridge
You guys. This song is so good. I can never decide if these people are for real or not. Like, is this song bad-good? Or good-good?
32. That's Not my Name - The Ting Tings
I flipping love these ladies. This is such a great girl power song.
33. We No Speak Americano - Yolanda Be Cool & DCup
Another choreographed-in-my-head dance. And isn't it required for folk dancers to love this song? I think it might be.
34. Come Get it - Aaron Carter
Admit it. You love it too.
PHEW. You made it. And I didn't even look at my Spotify playlists.
Oh wait. 35. Can't Touch This - MC Hammer.
You know why Lar'n. You know why.

I love you. Lots. And I'm glad I introduced you to a couple of these songs. :D
Hmm...Out of these, I like 'Club Can't Handle Me', and 'Can't Touch This.'
