Summer Playlist

Surprise. I lied to you again.

So I'm 2 days late.

Anyway, this is my post about what I've been listening to this summer. It's really been a little bit of everything. I'm going to put a bit of a description by the links with hopes that at least someone will read it, but worst case scenario, they're there in case you listen to a song, and go "What the heck was that?" It's kind of like my rationale for liking that song. Anyway, onwards.

Without You- David Guetta ft. Usher

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOTD_y-4Zyo

I usually like David Guetta's songs because I tend to enjoy dance-y songs, and I'm starting to be more of a fan of Usher as well. I really like the variety this song has in terms of sound.

Sugar, We're Going Down- Fall Out Boy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhG-vLZrb-g&ob=av2e

I remember this song being really popular when I was in something like 5th grade, and for some reason I stumbled upon it and just kept listening to it. For like a month straight nonstop. So much love for this song. Although, I did have to look up the lyrics because I had no idea what they were saying.

Motivation- Kelly Rowland ft. Lil Wayne

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1XozsBN5Z4

Again with the dance music. Ignore the completely sexual lyrics. I try to.

Yes- LMFAO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxPZ3yplwR0

This is easily one of the stupidest songs ever, but it's just so upbeat and funny that I find it enjoyable to listen to. Don't judge me.

Hello- Martin Solveig and Dragonette

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK42LZqO0wA

I guess it kind of has a unique sound? I don't know, I just like it.

21 Guns- Greenday

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r00ikilDxW4&ob=av2e

I actually like a lot of Greenday's songs . Basically all of the popular ones; American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday, Wake Me Up When September Ends (that's Greenday, right?).

I Can Transform Ya- Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kta9If-sP4s&ob=av2n

like 99% of Chris Brown's songs are really douche-y, but really catchy to me. This is no exception. He is a bomb.com dancer though.

Hot- Avril Lavigne

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzb75m8NuMQ&ob=av2e

I think this is a fairly old song, but I found it kind of recently. The lyrics are borderline creepy, but ignore that. Again.

Glamorous- Fergie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0SyUgw98tE&ob=av2e

This song never gets old. I just love it. I just realized, though, while I'm listening to it, that she really spells out words a lot in her songs. G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S. D to the E to the L-I-C-I-O-U-S.

Look At Me Now- Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes

Most douche-y song of the year, but it makes me feel gangster while I'm attempting to rap it and dance to it alone in my room. Yea, picture that and have yourself a nice little laugh.

Do The John Wall- Troop 41

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ2kYoMDw8E&ob=av2n

This is actually more of a joke from camp, but I still listen to it from time to time. And do the dance every time without fail.

Knockout- Lil Wayne ft. Nicki Minaj

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfYcOYMNuXM

You may have noticed that I also like Lil Wayne a fair bit. Not always, but this song is especially good and uncharacteristic for him.

What Makes You Beautiful- One Direction

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJO3ROT-A4E&ob=av2e

(Thanks to Ellie for this one and the next) 3 words. British. Boy. Band. These three words together can't NOT equal heaven. And some decent alliteration. But really. Really fun, summer-y song.

Pursuit of Happiness- Kid Cudi ft. MGMT and Ratatat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xzU9Qqdqww&ob=av2e

Major stoner song, but for some reason it was really catchy to me. Not cause I'm a stoner, don't take it that way, but it just has something kind of unique.

I Want You to Want Me- KSM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pUXAyTc26U&ob=av2n

I know this was originally sung by Cheap Trick (is it sad that I know that because of the movie "John Tucker Must Die"? Yes.) But I like KSM's cover a lot as well. And they're an all-girl band, so rock on, feminists.

There have been plenty of others of course, but these were mostly the only ones I kept bookmarked on my i-Pod. Hopefully everyone that reads this can find something they at least mildly liked, cause I tried to put some variety here.

Also, ANYTHING ELLIE GOULDING. My love for her music has hit a new high. I have yet to get tired of listening to a single song on her album. I also found this unreleased (I think that's the right word) song on youtube, and, of course, I love it.

The End- Ellie Goulding

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mhVynE8nEY

If you have heard anything you think I might like, chances are, I will so please tell me about it! Unless it's country. Then keep it to yourself. Sorry. Not really.

Thanks so much for reading, and have the best last day of summer anyone could ever have, for my sake if nothing else :)

* Goodnight *

p.s. is that asterisk thing with the closing ok? Or mega-douchey and too mainstream?I feel like I need at least a bit of continuity with my posts, because I have absolutely not done that.
