I’m all in favour. I think all Thursdays should be days off and then Fridays would all be one-day-weeks. Today’s Friday Five is rather related to that other list:
1. Name one song you hate to admit you like.
Oops, I Did it Again w/Britney Spears, apart from that freaky bit with the guy at the end.
Uhm. Did I say that out loud?
2. Name two songs that always make you cry.
One Moment in Time – Whitney Houston
Teddybjørnens vise – Prøysen
(OK, “always” is overstating it a bit, “frequently” might be a better word)
3. Name three songs that turn you on.
Tricky. Not sure I’d say I ever get “turned on” by songs. The bit of “Red & Black” from Les Mis when Marious sings: “Red – I feel my soul on fire. Black – My world if she’s not there. Red – The colour of desire. Black – The colour of despair” send shivers down my spine. In fact, I get a tingly feeling just thinking about it, so I suppose that’s a good one. Will try to think of two more.
4. Name four songs that always make you feel good.
Juba Juba – Knutsen & Ludvigsen
Fin frokost – Lillebjørn Nilsen
Mary’s Wedding – Van Morrison & The Chieftains
Supercalifragilisticexpialidoscious – Julie Andrews & Dick van Dyke
5. Name five songs you couldn’t ever do without.
You Win Again – The Bee Gees
Only Lonely – Melissa Etheridge (in fact, that whole album. In certain moods nothing else will do.)
The Moon is Mine – Fairground Attraction
Öppna landskap – Ulf Lundell
Pretty much all of Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette.
