Okay. So... wow. I am way behind on this whole music challenge thing. I guess that can happen when you spread yourself thin. Started in April and I'm not even a third of the way through. That's just sad. Anyway, without further ado...
A song that I know all the words to. Hmm... well, I know all the words to a lot of songs. So this one was particularly difficult to come up with. However, I'll give you one that I find more entertaining than some. Start the video at about 0:17, I couldn't find a better video than this. My apologies. Enjoy anyway.
Day 08 - A Song That You Know All The Words To
Aside from the lyrics of this song being particularly, er... blunt and hilarious, the thing that makes it even more entertaining (to me) is that I have been singing this song since I was 12. Yeah, you heard me. I was 12 years old, and I was singing about tits and ass. And then I turned 14 and grew some. And my mother loved it. I have a sick family...

A journey down the rabbit hole to find out why a raven is like a writing desk...

Music Challenge - Day Seven
Greetings Wonderers!!
I know it's been a while, but now that I have returned from the Promised Land (Israel, for those who are uninformed) with a bazillion pictures, some souvenirs, and a gaggle of new friends, I shall return to the blogosphere and continue to tell of my adventures in Wonderland.
Clearly this music challenge thing is going to take me exponentially longer than 30 days... but whatever, I'm doing it.
I would like you to know that I have been saving this particular challenge day for a reason. I had a funny feeling that I'd come back from Israel with a song that reminded me of my Taglit-Birthright trip. Congratulations to me, I get a gold star for being correct!
Day 07 - A Song That Reminds You of a Certain Event:
For those of you who don't read, speak, or understand Hebrew (and I'm assuming most of you don't, because, well... I don't) this song is called "Salaam" (or "Sallam" depending on where you find it) by a guy named Mosh Ben Ari (or Sheva, according to this video and iTunes.) It's a song about peace. And it's fun.
Basically, we listened to this song A LOT on this trip. Enough, in fact, that by the end of the trip, we all knew the words (yeah, it's basically like three lines) We even had a group sing-a-long (lead, on guitar, by one of our group members who we lovingly refer to as our Cruise Director) on our way to the airport to go home.
Other contenders included "Hallelujah" (By Leonard Cohen) which I was lucky enough to lead with Cruise Director during a jam session on our last night in Jerusalem, and a song called "Jessica" by a group called Ethnix. Oh, and the entire soundtrack of The Lion King. Which we also listened to (and sang along with) on the bus. Our group is awesome like that. Shout out to RT 24-125!!!
