I'm the type of person that hears not only a song when it plays but a host of memories that go with it flood my mind. I had so much FuN checking out the billboard charts for each year of my life and choosing my FaVoriTeS. So many memories are evoked as I hear it, and I hope that you will find some JoY in listening to it as well...
Song number one is from 1982, number two is from 1983, etc. There are 28 songs because I've officially begun my 28th year!
Here are some of my memories in the list...can you guess which song goes with which?
- Riding in the car with DaD
- Watching MTV with my brothers....when it actually had music videos :)
- Dancing at my WeDdInG
- FaVoRiTe movies
- Making up dances in my BaSeMenT with my childhood BFF
- The LoVe of my LiFe...DaNieL
- Working my FiRsT JoB and spending most of the money at AbErCrOmBiE
- Dancin' it up in my CaR with one of my most favorite people in the world
- 6th grade end of the year picnic
- spending hours memorizing LyRiCs with a friend
- Working out at CaRdInAL FiTnEsS in the beginning of our marriage
- Mourning the loss of a FriEnD
- SiNgInG my heart out in the car on my way to school
- ChErRy CoTtaGe RoOmMaTeS
I could go on, but for now I will leave you to explore the list. I would love to know if any songs stir up memories for you...and I highly recommend this little activity for anyone who's sickeningly NoStaLgIc or just wants an excuse to put songs you would normally not admit to enjoying on your blog! Enjoy!
If you absolutely DeSpIsE 80s/90s music or pop music...please feel free to press pause at the bottom!

Happy bday! I was a little saddened not to see any songs full of teen angst from the late '90s...
ReplyDeleteHa, ha! You two are too funny...believe me, I had teen angst, but there were so many to choose from! It was tough to pick just one from each year.
ReplyDeleteMar,
You made my day! I love that you're my best blogger buddy. I was thinking the other day that I missed you and how strange it is that we live in a world where I miss a blogger... I will stalk your blog soon...I've been busy with school starting so not as much blog time:(. Anywho...Here are your results my friend:
1. actually I sang We Built this City on Rock and Roll...my dad says he was surprised at how passionately I belted it out!
2. CORRECT :)
3. CORRECT :)....though I was actually thinking Byonce!
4. CORRECT :)
5. Walk Like an Egyptian...and Listen to Your Heart
6. CORRECT :)
7. Absolutely CORRECT :)
8. Wherever, Whenever has been done before...but I was thinking Ghetto Superstar...Devon Krenkel and I LOVED that song!
9. You are so right...Whoomp There It Is...we even had motions
10.ABSOLUTELY CORRECT :)
11. We used to hear "Take a Look at My Girlfriend...Ba, da, da, DAH" at the gym and randomly sing "ba, da, da, dahs" throughout our tiny apartment
12. One Sweet Day helped me through losing a friend.
13. Partially correct :)...Cowboy Take Me Away has been done, but I was thinking Viva la Vida!
14. I added a memory...wherever, whenever reminds me of my college roommates.
So Mar, in conclusion, I'd like to say you really did make my day by taking my silly quiz, and you get a GOLD STAR...I am thrilled that you got so many right! I always knew you were smart :)
oh yay! i'm so glad i got some of these right! it was a great post. kyle and i both really enjoy your blog! it is quite entertaining :)
