"Our Song"

Henderson, NV is a strange town. For some reason, it doesn't pick up radio transmission very well, especially indoors. As a result, I get only two stations on my radio alarm clock. EXTREME Radio 107.5 or Sunny 106.5, The Soft Music Station. There is nothing EXTREME about 6 a.m., so I opt to keep my alarm set to the soft music station. Starting Thanksgiving day though, they trade in their adult contemperary for "your favorite holiday hits." While my favorite holiday hits do NOT include songs by Clay Aiken, Kenny Rogers, Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, or Back Street Boys, they do manage to slip in a song every now and then that I love. Any Christmas song from the Carpenters, Bing Crosby, or Frank Sinatra is always nice to hear. This morning, however I was treated to my all time favorite Christmas song of all time. Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time." I am not lying when I say as soon as I heard the first note of this beloved song, I sprung from my bed with a smile on my face and began dancing a tiny Christmas jig in my Curios George jammies. This song is one of me and Charise's songs. As I danced, it got me thinking about "Our Songs." Charise and I actually have several "Our Songs," all of which I will list now.
"Wonderful Christmas Time" Paul McCartney
"How Deep is Your Love?" The Bee Gees
That one Soundgarden song we always heard on the way to school.
"Today Was a Good Day," Ice Cube?
"Shot in the Arm" Wilco
"Slow Hands" (Brit Daniels Remix) Interpol
"We have a Piano Of Carse" by...I don't know who that one is by. Charise?
Have I left any out??? We have lots of songs...
Oh ya! "Trial of the Century" French Kicks

Nik- you and I have a few songs too.

"My Stoney Baby" 311
"Cinderella Undercover" Oingo Boingo

Hmmm...that is all I can think of. We need more.

  • Too true, ahh...too many songs to name.

    I still think of Mr. Bojangles for some reason and that one song that we turned into "Hey you, drowning in my oatmeal."

    Or remember how funny it was when we called Zuccini Bikini??
