Hello! While I am nursing a rather sore head and dreaming about getting my hands on a Big Mac, I thought I would post some more Sunday Songs.

♥ Greenskeepers  - Lotion
Whenever the weather gets colder, I have this urge to have scary movie marathons and I recently rewatched Silence of the Lambs. This song's based on the "It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again" lines from the book, and is so insanely creepy and cool and freaky. But I love it.

♥ The Vines - Gimme Love
I'm quite looking forward to reviewing The Vines this coming Wednesday (it was meant to be last Wednesday but was delayed because of the stupid ash cloud) and I love their video for the first track from their new album, with its whole Scott Pilgrim vibe and everything. Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is in my top five favourite movies, have I mentioned that enough yet? Anyway. Very cool video for a very cool song.


♥ Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel
This weekend marks two years since Michael Jackson died, isn't that crazy? Lately my concept of time has been way out of whack. My friend and I actually had a minor freak out when we realised it was ten years since we started high school. I swear ten years ago I was still in primary school and watching cartoons on Saturday morning. So I'm not good at maths, whatever. ANYWAY, I used to be obsessed with this song and had a cassette tape especially dedicated to taping this song whenever it came on the radio. It was just The Way You Make Me Feel, over and over, on both sides of the tape.

Also, can I just say how awesome the news out of New York is? Hooray for equality! I loved this picture I found on tumblr, from the Michael Kors store:

I've spent the last three days in bed with an awful flu. I think the worst of it is over but I still feel quite horrible! At least it's given me plenty of time to download some new music and get some Sunday Songs inspiration.


♥ Weezer - Keep Fishin'
For some reason the other night, I really felt like watching the Weezer video for Buddy Holly. Then it went into a bit of an impromptu Weezer video marathon, because quite a few of their videos are pretty spectacular. I couldn't go past this one though, as it looks like basically the happiest music video on earth. Additionally, any Rivers Cuomo lookalikes out there, um, hello, I like you.

♥ Salt n Pepa - Whatta Man
For some reason I have been on a massive Salt n Pepa kick this week. Why?! Anyway, I had forgotten how awesome and just, well, fun this song is, even if I do find some of the lines kind of hilarious. I think I have found my new karaoke song.

♥ John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Give Peace A Chance
I read on Twitter that John & Yoko were married on the 20th of March, 1969, and so I thought I would throw in a little Lennon love. I used to love this song when I was younger - I mean, I still do - I am very glad I was brought up in a house where the Beatles (and their solo stuff, obviously) were mandatory listening! That could have more to do with my dad being from Liverpool, but still.

♥ The Beatles - Happy Birthday
And speaking of my dad, it was his birthday yesterday. Happy birthday Papa Lloyd! This song doesn't really count, because, well, everyone knows how Happy Birthday goes, and also the Beatles are singing "Happy Birthday, Saturday Club!" but still. Anyway, without my dad there would be no Sunday Songs posts, since he was the one who got me so into music. Well, I guess I SHOULD say, there would be Sunday Songs posts but they would be ultra lame and definitely not as rad. So much love to my dad. 

♥ The Beatles - I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends
And this is also dedicated to my dad AND my beautiful friend Renae, who also had a birthday yesterday. She is also quite lovely and deserves a mention! Coincidentally, who is your favourite Beatle? I have to say I'm a big George fan. He's gorgeous. Swoon.


♥ Whip My Hair - Neil Young & Bruce Springsteen
And to stop this edition of Sunday Songs from getting too mushy, a cover of "Whip My Hair" that one of my friends sent me. It took me about a minute into the song to realise that this was not, in fact, Neil Young and made me love Jimmy Fallon a little bit more. Along with "Friday" (ARRRRRGHHHHH) this song has been stuck in my head all week and may have been the star of a late-night St Patrick's Day singalong. Plus, Bruce Springsteen. Need I say more?

Happy Sunday!

It has been a really, really weird week. I found out I have to start moving my stuff pretty much straightaway (long story, but I am basically moving into my grandparent's old house), one of the girls at work quit unexpectedly, so there's only two of us now, and it has just felt like this insane madhouse! So, this week's choices are a little bit random.

♥ Kanye West - Runaway
You know, I don't even like Kanye West. I really don't. I really have never gotten the hype (except for Gold Digger, of course - can't deny the damn catchiness of that song). But this song just sounds so dark and weird and kind of beautiful, in a way. And yes, it is damn catchy as well. And at least he's admitting he's a douchebag, for once. Is he? I assume so. I kind of get distracted by all the ballerinas to pay that much close attention to the lyrics.


♥ The Drums - Saddest Summer Ever
This song is so irresistible to jump around and dance all crazy-like. I really like it! I wasn't wowed by any of The Drums albums, but I will always blast this song as high as it can go on my iPod and turn into a one woman dance party.


♥ Christina Aguilera - Candyman
So, maybe the loose theme for this week is "Yeah, I'm not really a fan of theirs, but I like this particular song". I am planning to see Burlesque at some point - for Cher, obviously, not Christina BITCH PLEASE - but I love, love, love this video. The Andrews Sisters melodies! The bobby socks! The sailor girl outfits! It's so deliciously cheesy that you have to appreciate it. Except for the awful "makes the panties drop" line. Panties is one of my most hated word. Along with moist. UGH. Anyway.


♥ Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode
So, disregard the loose theme I just mentioned. I love Chuck Berry. The last time I was in Melbourne I found a Chuck Berry Greatest Hits album on vinyl and it was pretty happy. I do love all the go go dancing going on in this clip as well. Especially when Chuck joins in. HOW COOL IS HE?!


Happy Sunday!
