Disco, much?

I was inspired by the drive back from school to write this post... Since I turned off the GPS for the first time--can I get a whoot whoooot!!--and navigated home all on my own, I actually turned up the radio and jammed out, tuned into some Dutch radio. And let me tell you, they music they play is eclectic, to say the least...

Flipping through the stations, I came across hits such as these:

--Anything catchy, but never in it's life-span too poular with a disco feel. No matter what day it has been, I have always caught a good jive'n'boogie song!

--The whitest rap I have ever heard in my life. Think New Kids on the Block meets Marky Mark and then lays down some lyrics over Madonna's "Holiday". It was literally to tune of "Holiday", but never made it to the top of the charts (if I had to guess). I am not even from the streets of Compton, but I can tell you that the lyrics were whack... Pretty much what I gathered from the song was "My name is Mike and I rock the Mic..." and "My name is Ted, that's what I said"*. Oh, and to top off the clever lyrics was the keyboard on the "Doo Doo" setting that followed. (You know what I am talking about if you've ever owned or even played a keyboard? That one setting you can choice that will play a different "Doo Doo" note for every key there is...)
*Not the actual lyric, but VERY, VERY close.

--"Walking in Memphis". But not the version we all now and love. Instead, I am 98% certain it was remade by Cher.

--And heard multiple times since I have been here, "Rosanna, (Rosanna)" by the classic band Toto. "Meet you all the way.... Rosanna! Rosanna!" That's one that gets stuck in your head!!

--On a sadder note, "She's Like the Wind" came on. You know, the one from Dirty Dancing sang by Patrick Swayze. RIP* Patrick.
*Added to annoy Faith.

So as you can tell, I am getting my feel for jams of the past. (Or at least that is what we will pretend they are.) But in defense of the Dutch radio system, I have also heard some (actually) good songs. Can we say Elton John?! "Don't let the sun go down on me...." And also, there is one certain song that I have heard at least three times but I cannot figure out who it is or what it is called. But I love it! It is sort of like Adele meets Joss Stone, and I think it is new... Hopefully I can figure soon and add it to my iTunes. Until, I will just have "Rosanna" stuck in my head!
