Sooo there was this song I always loved – one of the first videos I ever saw on MTV. As time went on I forgot who sang it but every time I watched Sixteen Candles (OMG I love that movie), I heard it. Just barely. That scene where Samantha is passing the sex survey to her sleeping friend in study hall and the hot Jake Ryan grabs it instead? Yeah that song is playing faintly in the background. (it’s so sad I can describe that scene like that. A testament to how many times I’ve seen it)
It’s called Happy Birthday. And you could’ve knocked me over with a feather when I heard it on the kids show Yo Gabba Gabba.
Redone by the Ting Tings no less! Unbelievable! So I searched around and figured out who sang the original. Altered Images.
And here they are:
This video is SO FREAKING 80′S. I love it. I want to go watch Sixteen Candles. Now. Long live Long Duck Dong!
ps — Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Have a green beer for me…

Robin Thicke does it for me again. Damn I love this song.
My favorite line is: “I would just drive my big old car, and everything would be alright…”

Now I have a sore throat and it hurts like a mother. So I’m laying low and just chillin’ (cos I’m illin’ – and I’m a poet and I didn’t know it). But I have stuff to do – things to plan for my daughter’s upcoming birthday party (next Saturday – ack!). Sigh…
Good news is I just signed a new contract with Samhain for a short novella I wrote called Jesse’s Girl. Yep, it’s a story based a little bit on the song. Yay! It should come out sometime around August? Hopefully?
Here’s Rick Springfield singing Jesse’s Girl. Love this song…

I noticed just about every other Tuesday I post a video. Hmm, a pattern…
So I’ve been listening to a lot of old Tori Amos lately. And that made me have to go to YouTube and look up the videos because I can remember them vaguely but it’s been so long ya know?
Hell Crucify is from 1992!!! My gaahd! I was 22 and living elsewhere and working retail and just…such a different life then. I was having fun though. Most of the time. I believe this song was out when we went through our gambling stage. We’d always go to Reno and gamble. Me and a bunch of people from my work. Yeah we were broke already and then we were going gambling? Go figure.
Here’s Crucify:
I forgot how crazy Tori would play the piano. I listen to the words of this song and think to myself, “I wish I’d written that.” Great words. Great song.

I’m going to admit this – and it’s embarrassing. Don’t laugh. Don’t make fun of me. But I love this song.
I can’t help it. I loved this song when it first came out and I still do. Yeah. I do. And I think the video is cool too. So sue me.
On another note, my book So Lucky received a 5 heart review from TRS which means…it’s up for the 5 Heart Sweetheart of the Week! Go vote for me. If you want to…
