So apparently that small fortune in textbooks I bought off Amazon entitled me to a credit for $3 in free music downloads. I’m not a huge audiophile, but hey, free is free, and I wasn’t about to let it go to waste.
After thinking about how to redeem my whopping $3 credit, I finally decided on two songs I just had to have once I realized they were available. First, I had to have Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain, just because I love the opening :
“You walked into the party, like you were walking onto a yacht.
“Your hat strategically dipped below one eye, your scarf it was apricot.”
I mean, not only do I love that powerful image it conveys, but seriously, what kind of song writing genius does it take to rhyme yacht with apricot? Anyway, I’ve listened to it about a million times since then.
I also got myself the Gilmore Girls theme version of Carole King’s Where You Lead I Will Follow. If you’re not a fan of Gilmore Girls, I just don’t know what to say to you. But, if you also don’t like this song, or don’t think it’s fun and happy and gives you warm fuzzies, well you must be an alien. In case you hadn’t already guessed, I loved the show, and we always had to tune in in time for the theme song so I could sing along (probably very badly) with remote standing in as a mic (looking like a huge dork no doubt). Without a doubt, Gilmore Girls night was always the best night of the week, and singing that theme song was good times. And, if you believe I’ve listened to You’re So Vain a million times, you can easily guess I’ve listened to Where You Lead about a billion. It’s my new talisman +4 against feeling sad.
Can you burn out a track on your MP3 player?
