Horribleness

If you know me, you know that I love horrible things. From horrible movies (like The Room), to horrible tv shows (like Covert Affairs), to horrible Harry Potter fanfiction (like My Immortal), I love it all. The worse it is, the funnier it is. There's just something so adorable about people trying so hard to be good at something and failing at it.

One of the last horrible events that occurred in 2012 before the calendar tipped over to 2013 was Taylor Swift's performance in Times Square on ABC. You should give it as listen:



So horribly out of tune. I loved it. Just check out this horrified spectator's face right before the station cut away from her:


Happy New Year's, friends. May 2013 bring forth just as much horribleness as 2012.

Here it is! Number one!

The moment you've been waiting for is finally here! It's time for number one!

#1 - That Old Pair of Jeans by Fatboy Slim

I. love. this. song. Seriously, I will never be in a bad mood after I hear it.

Also, this video is actually what got me really into juggling. I mean, I've been able to juggle since third grade-ish, but that was just like 3 balls, whatever. Then I saw this video around eighth grade (I think, I don't remember exactly) and was like "I NEED TO LEARN THAT."

So I did.



So that's that. My favorite 21 songs of my first 21 years. Maybe I'll do another countdown 21 years from now? Who knows.

Numbers 3 and 2!

 #3 - Hips Don't Lie by Shakira


I might be slightly obsessed with every song Shakira has ever made, nbd.

Asi es perfecto.

Also, honorable mention by Shakira: Waka Waka.

#2 - Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel


I love how this song starts out slow, then the pace picks up, then -- killer piano solo! -- even faster! Then calms back down. It's like it's actually telling a story.

I'm good at this

Because I've done such a good job at doing a post a day, here are numbers eight through four!

#8 - Amor Fati by Washed Out
I don't think I've found a Washed Out song that I don't like yet.


#7 - Nexus by Dan Fogelberg
My mom is obsessed with this dude. She always has him blasting around the house. So naturally, he became one of my favorite musicians too.


#6 - Runnin' With a Gun by Slightly Stoopid
I usually can't stand Slightly Stoopid, but this is one catchy tune.


#5 - Theme from The Magnificent Seven by Elmer Bernstein
Best. western. soundtrack. ever.


#4 - Ummm... every single song by John Williams
I knew I wanted to get a John Williams song on this list, but just like Owl City, I knew I could fill the entire list with his songs. So I guess I'll just pick out one favorite. I've always loved Victory Celebration/End Title from Star Wars VI... Is it even possible to not get chills when the End Title begins at 2:23? Pretty sure the answer is "nope."
