Becky of This Mom’s Journey tagged me for the music meme. I am supposed to list 7 songs I am currently into, but since I sometimes tend to be a non-conformist, I am going to tweak this and list 13 
!!
I like a wide variety of music – soundtracks, eighties, instrumental, current rock and pop – but right now I am into my new tiny green iPod shuffle which I use when I workout at the gym. All these songs are upbeat, they get me moving and they make me smile.
1. Black Horse and The Cherry Tree by KT Tunstall
2. Conga by Gloria Estefan
3. Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles
4. Asereje (The Ketchup Song) by Las Ketchup (No I don’t like this group just because of their name. This is a great running song!)
5. Tubthumping by Chumbawamba
6. Informer by Snow
7. We Belong by Pat Benatar
8. Holding Out For A Hero by Bonnie Tyler
9. Mambo No. 5 by Lou Bega
10. Take On Me by A-ha
11. The Promise by When In Rome
12. Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira
13. Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield – I love how these lyrics invite you to experience life and live it personally!
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
If you haven’t been tagged for this meme yet and you want to play along, consider yourself now “it.” Make sure you leave me a comment so I can come visit your list of seven or thirteen … or whatever number you decide to choose!

I have a “Pump it up” playlist with a few of these songs. I would like to check out the few I don’t. Listening to music does make the time fly by while exercising!

What a great bunch of songs! I particularly like Mambo No. 5, so cute!
March 28, 2007 at 7:06 PM
I haven’t heard any of your songs.
I will have to look for some of them.
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
My TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT’ing!

We use Mambo #5 all the time at school for various things.

Great list! And a few I’m not familiar with as well. Have you played around at Pandora.com yet? ‘Tis fabulous!

Holding out for a Hero is one of my favorite songs in life. Written by the great Jim Steinman!
Mines up!

I don’t know any of those songs, but then again I live in the past when it comes to music. My TT is about favorite songs from my past.

I love that N.B. song! It always helps my perspective…
Here’s one to add to your ‘gym’ list — Grace Kelley by Mika.

My pump it up songs include: “Never”, by Heart; most of madonna’s newest album especially “Sorry;” SOS, by Rihanna and many more.
Someone said they haven’t heard any of your songs and I am in shock!! Conga, Walk like an Egyptian, Take on Me– all these are classics!! I have heard just about all of them tho! =)
March 28, 2007 at 9:08 PM
OK, I haven’t thought of A-ha in a long time!! I love that song too, just my era!! Thanks for the TT.
March 28, 2007 at 9:39 PM
Fun list. You sassy lady, you!! My 4yo can sing along to the Natasha Bedingfield song. I play it often.
March 28, 2007 at 11:58 PM
Great list! Now I’ve got several of them stuck in my head, competing for attention.
Seriously, it’s a great mix of classic and new. I’ll have to take note the next time I download.

Love the list, particularly Mambo no.5. A holiday favourite for my girls!

We used to use Unwritten as a cool-down track in Spinning class. I must list some of my fave exercise track sometime…
Happy TT.

I always love music TT’s and yours is a great workout list. I especially like “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” and “Unwritten”.
Happy TT!

Informer!? That’s great! I actually had (probably still have) that tape– 12 Inches of Snow. Ah, the memories.
I have a musical TT this week too.

I’ve been tagged for this meme. However, I share an ipod with my hubby. And I would hate to include all his frightening Metallica on the list…

Nice! My roomate in college and I used to sing “Informer …ya know blah blah blah blah blah blah blah” – can ANYONE actually understand him? Is that english?
