I can't believe I'm thinking of doing this.
I already went this route with Bailey.
Dueling musicals.
I think we bandied back and forth our knowledge of the lyrics to songs from Finian's Rainbow and Paint Your Wagon. Did we do the Sound of Music too? I don't remember.
What I DO remember is what a hoot it was.
The old show tunes are songs that stick with you and in various times in your life, you find yourself humming them. They drag you back into a point in your life that usually is pleasant. Most music is equated with positive things .... if your old EX was a jerk - the break up song was still positive - you escaped with your pride intact, right?
I cannot relate because the only guy I was actually ever serious about and who had the power to affect me is the guy I married. So, music for me is all good.
Everyone has music for the themes in their life:
Music to drive by -
music by Hair is good, Austin Powers *gg*, The old TV themes are great too , Magnum PI comes to mind, Starsky and Hutch, Hawaii 5-O , SWAT, Mod Squad - man those bring back memories, .
Inspirational -
Sound of Music, Paint your Wagon, The King and I, Meet me in St. Louis, Wizard of Oz, Xanadu, Oklahoma
Goofy -
Thoroughly Modern Millie, Finian's Rainbow, Singing in the Rain, Wizard of Oz
So, along the lines of music being a fun thing in your life, I thought of doing a crazy thing.
I Challenge you to name some song titles to match these headings:
Mine are:
