Salt-N-Pepa - Push It

Hey folks!

I don't think I quite recovered from a trip to memory lane, so how about another dance song for tonight? I should pick us up for this mid-week low.

Wake up folks! It is two more days 'til Friday! :)

Featured song: "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa [1987] (Freestyle, Contemporary RnB)




If you have not heard this song, then I declare that you have been under a rock all of your life! Yes, I am dead serious. Come on! Lots of movies have used this single at some point, and even some TV shows have also featured this song. There have also been a lot airplay both on radio and other media, so you really do not have any excuse not to have heard this song.

Do not be fooled by the line, "This dance ain't for everybody, only the sexy people," because that's just a reference to something. I do find this song particularly nice to dance around to - and I am not sexy! - so let's dance, people!

Oh, the song is by Salt-N-Pepa, featuring DJ Spinderella, too! You may have heard their other song, "The Showstopper." :)


Cameo - Word Up!

Hehehehe Oh me, oh my! I am a neglectful blogger. So many blackouts and Internet problems as of late. And even some computer problems so... well, patience dear friends. I do have something for this marvelous Friday.

Featured song: "Word Up!" by Cameo [1986] (R&B, Funk)







Word Up! is an awesome song to kick off Friday, IMHO. Makes you wanna dance, actually. Hrhrhr

I remember listening to this song when I was younger. However, I forgot about this song until last year when during my dance classes, my teacher featured this in the line up of songs. It is indeed fun to dance to. Yes?

This song contributed to much of the fame of Cameo, although other bands have made covers of this song, even the nu metal band, Korn! Other artists/bands who did covers of this song include Gun, Willis, The BossHoss, Cochino, Digital Alkemist, and Jan Delay.

I hope you enjoy it!

Jordin Sparks - One Step at a Time

Just a quick post for all of you, especially to somebody who I hope is okay today. This song goes out to that "maot" person who may not be feeling soo well today.

Featured song: "One Step at a Time" by Jordin Sparks [2007] (Pop/RnB)







While I am not familiar with all of Jordin Sparks' songs, I do know some of her songs, which I happen to like as well. Her song "No Air" is one of my favorite songs by Jordin Sparks. "One Step at a Time" is the song that comes a close next. :)

Like I said, this is just a quick post, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I hope that this also cheers up my friend who knows this is the song I have dedicated to her. Hrhrhrhrhr..

Part of the lyrics which I think applies the most to my friend:

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

Dararaah humm darah,
Dararaah darumdarah.

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew



Timbaland ft. Katy Perry - If We Ever Meet Again

Are there times during the day when sleepiness hits you? You know, when you feel drowsy and sluggish? For me, its 4-5 pm almost every single afternoon. It's like I'm just going going going gone... *yawn*

I also just ate 2 mug of ice cream, palabok, chips, and Mt. Dew. Yeahp, attack of the stomach. Anyway, I think that played a huge part of my drowsiness, so I need a huge pick-me-up that does not have coffee connected to it. Why not dance or force myself to move, yes? Here we go...

Featured song: "If We Ever Meet Again" by Timbaland ft. Katy Perry [2010] (RnB, Dance-pop)






I kinda fell in love with the song because it is upbeat and a little bit happy. Plus, doesn't it make you feel like dancing? :) I know I do.

This song is said to be inspired by the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling," and if you think about it, it does have a bit of that flavor going on, yes? :) I love the music video, and Katy Perry does look rather cute, right? The music itself is catchy, and I keep on playing it in my head, especially in moments where I feel like launching off to snoozeland.

Anyway, I still feel like sleeping. I guess I shall have to get that cuppa coffee now. Talk to you laterz!!


Dancing in the Street

I feel like dancing today, even though the sun is barely up, I would like to start off my day with a *BANG!*

Featured song: "Dancing in the Street" by Martha and The Vandellas [1964] (Motown)



The first time I came across this song was in Whoopi Goldberg's movie, Sister Act 2. Although I heard the altered version first, I love the original one a wee bit more.

The song is known as the signature song of Martha and The Vandellas, and has been covered by many famous artists such as Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Dusty Springfield, The Kinks, Grateful Dead, Human Nature, and more. Even Van Halen and Little Richard has their own version of the song, which is really cool because it has survived many decades, and is still awesome to listen to.

Whose version have you heard? I have not listened to all of the versions of this song, but I am very content with it. Did you know that some people thought this song was "a call to riot"? LOL well, they had their reasons.

Now shall we dance?
