The top 10 most embarrassing songs on my iPod

    1. Sonny & Cher – I Got You Babe – The Wayne’s World of 1965. Cher almost looks normal 30 years ago.
    2. Hanson – Mmm Bop – I keep this one on my iPod Shuffle for when I jog on the treadmill. I have no idea what they are saying.
    3. Adam Ant – Goody Two Shoes – Everyone wore make-up in the 80’s. I thought he was pretty cool during his day.
    4. Tommy Tutone – 867-5309 Jenny – My friends would call this number all the time. In fact, I might call it a few times tonight. Impossible to get out of your head.
    5. Tone Loc – Funky Cold Medina – I have no idea what this song is about and I don’t want to know.
    6. Martika – Toy Solders – I couldn’t decide between this or 99 Luftballons. I don’t think this is such a bad song, but I wouldn’t want my friends to know that.
    7. Backstreet Boys – I Want it That Way – I have no excuse. Sugar-coated to the max. But I sing along anyway.
    8. Eminem – The Real Slim Shady – Yes, that’s Kathy Griffin in the nurse outfit. His lyrics are wacky, but the beat is……catchy?
    9. Spice Girls – 2 Become 1 – Kim has teased me about this more than any other. I actually bought the single! I need help.
    10. Warren G – Regulate – Wow…I don’t know what to say about this one except to blame it on Kim who brought the CD into our marriage. “MOUNT UP!”

My Favorite Schoolhouse Rock Song

I love the Schoolhouse Rock songs. When they were released on DVD a few years ago, I bought them and have watched them over and over with our kids. 

My favorite of all them is “Three is a Magic Number”. The tune is so catchy and I love the lyrics like this:

Somewhere in the ancient mystic trinity….you get three…as a magic number

The songs brings back such good memories of waking up early on Saturday mornings and watching Hong Kong Phooey, Scooby Doo and Superfriends.

Apple still attacking Vista

Apple is still rolling out the anti-Vista ads. Vista has certainly had its share of problems but I’m hearing more and more complaints about Apple’s new Leopard operating system. Isn’t Apple supposed to be the company that makes stuff that “just works”? Scoble calls it the “brand promise” and he does a better job than I do of explaining it. Maybe the days of the major OS upgrade are over given these two giants can’t create an operating system that’s worth upgrading to.

If were Microsoft I’d go on the offensive and call out Apple and their problems with Leopard instead of sitting back and creating marketing crap like this. Yes, you’ll be speechless alright! Speechless to the point of frustration.

Hey Apple, that desktop background looks like someone went to WinCustomize and chose the worst rated background. Man, that’s bad.

Bono sings Wave of Sorrow

U2’s, the Joshua Tree, is one of my favorite albums of all time. Probably top three. From what I can gather, this song was written back in 1987 for the Joshua Tree  but wasn’t included because Bono felt like it wasn’t quite finished. But it will be included on the upcoming, remastered 20th Anniversary Edition of the Joshua Tree that will be released on November 20th. I don’t know if other unreleased tracks will be included.

I like the song quite a bit. But the best part of this video is watching Bono try to recall lyrics he wrote 20 years ago. He also provides backdrop and context for the song, sometimes during the song!

I’m not sure how many times I’ve bought the Joshua Tree but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve bought it three or four times. I wore out two cassettes before moving to CD. The only album I’ve purchased more is probably Pink Floyd’s, Dark Side of the Moon, my favorite album of all-time.
