Old music. Do you like to listen to the classics?



YMCA is one of these well-known songs with a silly move. I encounter this kind of music everywhere, in Germany, in England, USA and even Costa Rican guys know these. Who knows if Lady Gaga will one day move up to one of those. Madonna definitely made it - she sang classics that cross decades.



Which songs do you listen to that you're maybe even ashamed of sometimes? The macarena is probably the most ridiculous song that people (mostly with a bit of alcohol) love to dance. At least English people do. We have a night called "Big Bad Cheese" - it took me a year to figure out that it's an ironic title commenting on the cheesy music they play there. The macarena is a weekly special. YMCA not so much, though I'd have loved to do the moves. I'm lucky though, because it's played quite often in Germany.

First, I want to thank Elizabeth Müller for freeing her awards and giving me the sunshine award. Second, many thanks to Donna Hole for saying I had one of the best blog sites she has ever seen. I really feel honored. I dedicate this to you both today...
Finally I present to you:

My List of Favourites
http://www.favouritemedia.co.uk/

This is the best way to get to know me better. It is an even better way to misjudge me by my preferences. You'll see what I mean. I'd be surprised if I can find one person that does not find at least one thing in here they don't like at all.
But: see for yourself, have fun as always and try to find something.

The Lion King -- The Circle of Life (Disney), Age 8

At the age of eight so many things seemed a lot easier than today. Whenever you see one of these deeply in your mind engraved Disney films, your memory carries you back to the times when you believed that Peter Pan can really fly and Simba watches over you.

The pure fascination of the wide field with antelopes jumping across the dry grass, dancing to the voices of African singers and the lyrics of Elton John. The meaning of “the circle of life” is irrelevant, only the rhythmic pattern and the amazing pictures matter. Now years later, the meaning of the song is obvious, but visiting the musical and letting the play take you back in time, again it all becomes irrelevant, the past years seemingly wiped out. The joy is what counts; your emotions are caught in the moment of childish happiness.
