It’s September, the start of a new month. Well, in mid-August, half a month too late, I came across one of those internet challenges. Being a music nut, I’m willing to take my chances with the data mining assholes and participate. For the month of September (plus October 1), I’m going to answer each of these with a blog post. Here’s the challenge:

Day 10: Favorite Song from the 80s

Being that it’s my favorite song in any genre from any decade, I have to go with this. Thankfully, I already was able to post about my other favorite band yesterday, so I don’t feel bad leaving them out here.

Unsurprisingly, I never want to be famous.

Day 9: Favorite Song from the 70s

I already mentioned this one, but here it is again.

This could have qualified for day 6, but no regrets.

Day 8: Song That Crosses

I have no idea what this means. Crosses what? Genres? Christian music? I’m going to interpret it as a song with a pronounced key change (i.e., crosses from one key to another). Here’s one of millions that do.

Remember: Modulation is key.

That’s a musical dad joke.

Day 7: Song About Walking

I choose this one because it’s funny. Back in high school and even college, I’d watch soap operas. My soaps were All My Children, One Life to Live, and (especially) General Hospital. Watching Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) happily and proudly walk down the street to this song is a memory that stuck with me.

On another funny note, General Hospital came up again not so long ago when I accidentally interacted with one of the cast members that still on the show today.

Good for him for being able to carve out a life-long career in a field where people often fade away.

Day 6: Song That Moves You

This category of song should produce results that others will find weird. That’s because songs, even those that aren’t particularly moving per se, can be strongly associated with events that move someone. I’ve already explained this one. Here it is again.

Still hurts.

Day 5: Song with a Color in It

Recently, I saw a Rush cover band. Leading up to the concert, I told my two friends that also attended that I really wanted to hear music off of my favorite Rush album, Grace Under Pressure, and one of Rush’s more underrated albums (even by the band itself!), Presto. The band played The Enemy Within early in their first set, but in the second set, they played the worst song on Presto, Scars, followed immediately by the worst song on Grace Under Pressure (though neither are bad songs). Here’s the latter.

When you make a wish, try to be more specific than I was.

Day 4: Song About Animals

Honestly, I was having a mental block thinking of a single song about animals. I thought, “What about the Heart album, Bad Animals?” Posting a YouTube video of the entire album would be cheating. Even worse, as humans are animals (at times, not any better than apes flinging poo), I could have chosen any song at all (except perhaps some Rush songs). Clearly, I was overthinking, and then this one popped into my head. It’s an obscure song from the early 70s. Clearly, lyrics weren’t the songwriter’s strong suit. This is one of two hits by this band with only six words in the lyrics.

They won’t all be this obscure.

Day 3: Song About Coffee

I don’t think this is what was intended, but I’m sticking to it.

I don’t even drink coffee.

Day 2: Song for Dirty Dancing

This seems a bit counterintuitive — it’s about “flying solo” — but it’s such a dirty song and has the right rhythm, so I’m going with this.

Seriously, what do I know about this sort of thing?

Day 1: Song for Champions

The low hanging fruit on this one would be We Are the Champions by Queen, but I’m not even going to link to it. I’m better than that. I’m going with a song I love that appears on my 1st Edition AD&D playlist.

I remember this song being played after the St. Louis Cardinals won the 1982 World Series.

I hate the St. Louis Cardinals.
