The Five Cheesy Songs That Make Me Happy When I'm Working Too Hard:
5. Footloose. It's just so....happy! And it makes me want to arrange a giant flashmob style choreographical thing in the library. However, I never tell anyone when it's on my iPod. It's just too 80s for words.
4. I've Had the Time of my Life. Speaking of the 80s, I haven't watched the movie Dirty Dancing lately. Why does this dose of extreme cheddar make me smile? Because it's so WRONG. This is my sarcastic love song to law school. I want to sing it to DePaul's front doors and then put a true 90s child "PSYCH!!" after it.
3. Independent Women.* Take that boys. Take. That.
2. The Future's So Bright (I've Got to Wear Shades). I understand that this song is supposed to be about some sort of post-apocalyptic future. But really. "Things are going great, and they're only getting better/I'm doing all right, getting good grades/ The future's so bright. I gotta wear shades." Infinitely cool. And geeky. ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
1. "You're My Best Friend." Okay. I admit it, pretty much any song by Queen makes me happy. For all that they were an 80s glam band, their lyrics have a delightfully snarky innocence to them. Seriously Bicycle Race and Crazy Little Thing Called Love? On the other hand, we have Fat-Bottomed Girls. So maybe not so innocent. But still wonderfully cheesy.
It occurs to me that most of my cheesy songs are from the 80s. Oh well. It was a cheesy time. Hmmmm....I need to go watch Patrick Swayze dance. And so do you.
