Tunes to MOVE by. Literally...

I've been listening to a few CD's slapped into my discman tucked into my shorts while packing, moving and otherwise feeling like one of the most disorganized people on the planet. Our apartment is in total chaos, and split between two locations.

Lets put it this way. Breakfast today, consisted of a Bounty chocolate bar.

1. Much Dance 90's (2 disc set)
(MuchMusic Compilation,Various Artists, 2003, Sony Music)

Okay, okay, have I dated myself enough? Yes, yes I have. It's all the dance music hits from when I was in early highschool, but it fucking rocks. I mean, "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice?! (I can actually rap the whole damned thing. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I just know I can.) Or "Mr. Vain?!" Or "Hip Hop Hooray" by Naughty by Nature?! I have to love a song with the line, "She's as hot as a baker, 'cuz we're Naughty by Nature." Seriously! Awesome.

I mean, how dorky am I, when my cell phone ringer right now is "Bust A Move" by Young MC. (That, or "Safety Dance" by Men without Hats, or "Hey-Ya" by Outkast.)

2. Pulp Fiction Soundtrack
(Various Artists)

Old movie. Older music. Classic Motown, Funk. Gorgeous. As much personality as Quentin Tarantino puts into his character dialogue, I usually skip past the talking parts. This is the CD I first heard "Son of A Preacher" by Dusty Springfield on, about 10 years ago, that I do at Karaoke, which has earned me the title of "Mizz Motown." (That, and "Respect" by Aretha Franklin.)

3. Great Big Sea, "Up"
(Warner Music, 1995)

Good ol' Newfie tunes. Classic Canadiana. And it reminds me of my Grandpa. Fun to belt along with, Fun to bounce around the apartment to, and even more fun to drink to at the Blarney Stone.

4. Be What You Are.
(Various Artists)

A Christmas present from Devin. Some great tunes. Check out his Blog, he's got a listing of what's on there in the "Be What You Are" link. Or, just click that one right there cuz' I had to do some searching to find it.

5. Madonna, Greatest hits, Volume 2.
(Maverick Recording Company, 2001)

Mostly Madge's new stuff, but the GOOD new stuff. I'm a big Madonna fan, I blame my mother for that. Even if I can't sing "Like a Virgin" at Karaoke with a straight face. (Touched for the very first time! *Hah!* First time?! Oh, like a vir-er-er-er-gin....)

It has my all time Fave madonna song, "Music." It usually makes me ride the barstool at the club one hand gripping the seat between my thighs like a pommel, and one circling over my head with an imaginary lasso in slow motion. Yeah. It's a hot song.

6. Massive 2002
(Various Artists)

A collection of dance/trance/hip-hop/pop on one cd that I borrowed from Crystal D. Has everything on it from "Sandstorm" by Darude, to a remake of "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran but sung by a woman, some dance versions of Salsa tunes, and the song "The Summer." (I don't know who does that one, but I LOVE it.) This was the CD that we popped into her CD player in her Ford Escort Z2X, and zipped about Vancouver in two summers in a row. It Rawks.

Good songs to move by.

You can dance, you can dance. Everybody take off your pants... (And yeah, I know the lyrics arent actually that. It's just way funnier that way.)
