Summer Songs 1990-1999
This morning I sat and thought of each summer of the 90's. And then I tried to think of a definitive song from each summer, these came to mind first:
1990: Escapade, Janet Jackson
1991: The Promise of a New Day, Paula Abdul
1992: All I Want, Toad the Wet Sprocket
1993: Hey Jealousy, Gin Blossoms
1994: Gimme Dat Nut, Eazy E
1995: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (a very bizarre summer)
1996: Sentimental Fool, Lloyd Cole
1997: Allentown, Billy Joel
1998: Tubthumping, Chumbawumba (1998 was an off year, I went blank here)
1999: When the Day is Done, The Samples
Each song represents a blog topic in and of itself. Will save those for the cold and blustery winte because winters somehow do not have signature songs for me.
I invite you to share your own summer songs.

Sara Z. - I was at a party and someone put the soundtrack on as a joke, and then, after considerable drinking, I found some of the lyrics really catchy. For the rest of the summer, that soundtrack got played at almost every party that one of my friend's threw. I was determined to learn the colors in order: "red yellow green brown scarlet black ochre peach ruby olive violet . . ."
"I look handsome I look smart, I am walking work of art . . ."
Aunt: The 80's are a whole subject unto themselves. But we've got a few in common.
Slcup: I spent more time figuring out your abbreviations than I did composing my post.
GD Grateful Dead
SRV Stevie Ray Vaughn
And I've not heard of Real Big Fish
RBF is a ska band. That's my pick-me-up CD; I've played it so often it's wearing out. I forget that not everyone is a Guitar God devotee like I am.
