(according to the number of times I've played them, as recorded by iTunes, which probably isn't correct since I've moved files to a new disk recently ... in other words, some of these are really odd):
- "Here's Your Future" by The Thermals (heard at the end of a Weeds episode)
- "Girl Anachronism" by The Dresden Dolls (again, another Weeds song)
- "Get Over It" by OK Go (First heard this playing in the background of an internet video of an ... alternative? ... nature)
- "Debonair" by Afghan Whigs (A song I have always truly loved since the day it was released)
- "Work It" by Missy Elliott (what??? ... OK, I like the backwards part, and this song is DIRTY AS HELL if you really listen to it)
- "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse (huh??? Not sure why I listen to this)
- "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie (amazingly good, but first heard this done on youtube by the girl who won that Doritos Superbowl ad and her sisters, who actually do it better)
- "Misunderstanding" by Genesis (embarrassing! My first two concerts -- Phil Collins solo, and then Genesis)
- "Megalomaniac" by Incubus (Bought it thinking it was something else, and liked it)
- "Dreams" by Van Halen (Laurel and I both had this in our heads one day and both bought it on iTunes. I then listened to it enough to permanently blast it from my head.)
Update!: The list above didn't include videos ... so actually "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira comes in between "Work It" and "Rehab" ... the whole list is bogus, though, because I know I've played "Cigaro" by System of a Down more times than any of the above combined, but the iTunes playcount says 0.
Further update: I realized after Laurel read this list that a) I probably spent two weeks of non-contiguous lifetime making playcounts work in Windows Media Player 7, only to end up using this iTunes thing where they obviously didn't give a twist if it worked or not, and b) her list of randomly top songs is even more embarrassing, as it includes Celine Dion. At least mine are cool. Ish. Except for Genesis.
