Re-gaining Unconsciousness

I am on one tonight. I don't know what has overcome me. But I'm on a good high.

So, one of my favorite television shows is "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia". I was excited when it wasn't even on air yet. I was excited because it has Danny DeVito in it. I was excited because it was something new, something fresh, and something funny. I liked it before most fools. Anyways, in an older episode two of the characters end up making a song. This short, simple, song has been STUCK in my head, burned into my skull, and I can't stop singing it. As dumb, silly, and annoying as it is, I simply can not stop. Here are the lyrics of "The Nightman":

Dayman (ah-ah-ah)
Fighter of the Nightman (ah-ah-ah)
Champion of the Sun (ah-ah-ah)
You're a Master of Karate
And Friendship
For Everyone


That's it. Well, repeat it 3-5 times, with some slight variations sometimes. Or as many times as you want really. This song is addicting, especially if you've seen them sing it. Which got me thinking a little, just in a sense of some of my favorite songs. I would like to share a list of some of my most favorite songs ever, songs that I can, do, and will always listen to again and again because they are simply amazing. Be it because of the mix of instruments, lyrics, vocals, and everything else. I have also titled my blogs with song names, well all the posts after my poem "Sweet Nothings", I try to find a song that fits my current mood, lyrics and title, for my blog titles.

Haha, that was longer than I expected.(I did end up cheating and pulling most from my IPOD and computer, don't hate me) As you can see though, my musical tastes cover just about everything. I left out a ton of artists. If I had to condense it to a top 15 artists list, meaning ones who have tons of songs that I love and have many of my favorite songs, it might look something like this(in no particular order):

1- Bloc Party
2- The Cars
3- Fleetwood Mac
4- NOFX
5- blink-182
6- Unknown Source
7- DJ Ghostchild
8- The Thermals
9- Sigur Rós
10- Shania Twain
11- Pink Floyd
12- Sonata Arctica
13- RJD2
14- Metallica
15- DJ Mystik

I'm usually on the look-out for fresh new artists, trying to stay ahead of the crowd any possible way. A lot of the bands I like I tried showing to my friends back in the day, and they simply blew me off, then a year after showing them they are all obsessed with them. Gotta stay ahead of the crowd and be the trendsetter. Its funny a lot of bands I have known for years and have loved have finally struck home with some of my friends. Some of the bands will never reach them, I still try to show them stuff but they are so fixated on old bands really, or their favorites. I'm always adding to my favorites, I don't just cling on to the old, I am always searching for new stuff. I've given up on showing them stuff now though, especially one friend. Such a joke. He stated he doesn't listen to music for the lyrics, only the instruments. So sad. He should pretty much just show pencils in his ears for insulting music in such a way. Sure instrumental(only) songs are sweet, if they are good, but to listen to songs(with lyrics) based off instruments only is simply retarded in so many universes and ways that its bloody ridiculous! There are so many songs that wouldn't have made it if not for the lyrics, they are MARVELOUS! And many times beautiful. To just brush them aside and ignore them is just wrong. I wish I had friends that appreciated music like I do, unlike these musical dregs of my little society. I will no longer share with them the treasures I hold and find. I won't let them taint and abuse them any longer.

I'm willing to show any of my favorite songs to those who care, and am always willing to listen to your favorites, so please share! Especially if its one of the same artists listed above, I like to see which songs are other peoples favorites who share the same tastes. Or if its someone completely different. I soak up music. (:

Anyways.......*starts singing "The Nightman" song*
