the rose-bette midler--this song is always sung on pref night.....can't make it one time hearing it without sobbing my eyes out...double meaning of my beautiful sisters, and luke......
i'm a hustler-jay-z--when me and one of my best friends/sorority sisters/BEST FRIENDS took a road trip to memphis, we played this song about a billion times....know every word....and she has minimal rhythm, so it's hysterical!
whisper my name-randy travis--yes, it's a randy travis song....but the video is beautiful and it makes me think of my daddy........really sweet

My Turn
 

Don't laugh, I'm an 80s kid!

"Crazy for You" - Madonna: major high school crush. Not saying any more. <eg>

"This Could Be the Night" -Loverboy. Senior Prom song.

"The Song Remembers When" - Trisha Yearwood. Reminds me of another great love I *thought* I had for a few years, but felt better when I dumped his cheating ass. Really spells out the contrast between wonderful memories of good times and moving on w/ your life to bigger and better things.

"Just the Way You Are" -Billy Joel First dance with my husband at our wedding.

"Somewhere in the World - Wayne Watson Father/daughter dance at my wedding. He wrote the song as a prayer for the little girl who would some day grow up and be his son's wife. I'm getting misty right now at the foresight of that....

"Crystal Ball" -Styx. The ex-wife of the guy who wrote the song is a good friend of mine. She had some family-type stories that were connected to it. (No, I'm not spilling them.) For me, hearing this song reminds me of those tangible things that were behind the "showbiz" front that musicians put on. It's like walking out of a dream and finding aspects of it are real and you can touch them. Odd feeling.

Next? ;)

:D

two of my girls sung this during our pref rounds as well... always ended up balling, especially last year... made me remember how much all those girls meant to me throughout the years!

"Hang" by Matchbox 20: because the ending lyrics-
"and we always say
it would be good to go away someday,
but if there's nothing there to make things change,
if it's the same for you i'll just hang;
if it's the same for you i'll always hang.
well we always say,
it would be good to go away...
but if things don't work out like we think,
and there's nothing there to ease this ache,
and if there's nothing there to make things change,
if it's the same for you i'll just hang..."
make me cry...

These bring back memories of awesome dance routines:
"I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders
"Annie's Song" by John Denver
"Jessie" by Joshua Kadison
"Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Poison
"November Rain" by Guns 'n' Roses
"Return to Innocence" by Enigma (for those of you who don't know it off the top of your head it's most widely known from that early 90s new age cd "Pure Moods" as the one with the random native american guy chanting at various points throughout)

"Brick" by Ben Folds Five reminds me of a friend from High School that always sang/played it on the piano after theater class and made all the girls swoon...he was awesome though

Songs the casts of musicals and shows I've been in cerimoniously sang before/after each performance:
"New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra
"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
"Baby Got Back" by Sir-Mix-Alot
"Theme from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" by Will Smith
"On Broadway" *showtune*

wow...my list is kind of long....i could go on about this forever....really i could hehehe

don't you forget about me-it was the song that my high school ex and i always listened to. when we broke up right before i left for college, we played it when we were in the car and just started crying.
forever young-i don't know why... it was always a prom theme when i was in high school. and the saturn commercial that plays it brought back memories.
freaks of the industry-sorority family song... i didn't pick it but it's just hella funny every time they play it at formals.
baby got back-sorority theme song.
just the two of us-lyrics were changed and it became our pledge class song.
time of my life-dirty dancing-senior prom theme.
bohemian rapsody-always a car ride classic
isn't it midnight?-fleetwood mac-childhood favorite
it's my life-bon jovi-my latest ex played this song everytime he was getting ready for a hockey game.

bump!

"Sweet Child of Mine"--good ol G& R--song from from my TKE bf in college--this was our song that he dedicated to me the night he lavaliered me
"Always and Forever"--song that bf above dedicated to me when he asked me to marry him the night he took me to the University of Alabama so that I could meet his brother
"What Did You Think I Would Do at This Moment?" Billy Vera and the Beaters--song after above bf and I broke it off my senior year
"Friends"--Michael W. Smith---last song my best gfs and I played together when the first one of our group got married our senior year
"Luck Be A Lady Tonight"--great jazz favorite that some good musician friends of ours played the night that DH asked me to marry him
"Somewhere In Time" theme song--this is mine and DH song; we played it for our dance at our wedding
"There She Goes"-Sixpence None the Richer--I always think of my 4 year old little girl when I hear this song

"Let's Get Married - the remix" - Jagged Edge - This is the roommate song! I had the best 3 roommates ever and anytime this song came on we'd get out in the living room dance our lil' tales off. Last summer at one of the roommates wedding this was the first dance song that was played and my roomie goes "I'm sorry but if you're not a roommate you can not dance to this song".....so like 150 people watched the 3 of us dance! :p It was great!!

"Oops.....I Did It Again" - Britney Spears - This is the song I listen too before I go out. It gives me the confidence that its okay to break hearts.

"Like I love you? " - Justin Timberlake - I can't think of the name of the song, but it was his first single "late at night I talk to you". My current roomie was in a really bad mood and crying - I played it really loud and lip synced too it. So now that's "our song" lol

BOY MUSIC

"Knights in White Satin" - Moody Blues - This is a ex-bf Phil song. But I have a feeling it will be adapted to next boy I dance with.
"I don't want to Miss a thing" - Aerosmith - OMG another Phil song. This is is me/phil/senior prom!!
"Angel" - Aerosmith - Another Phil song....I still to this day can not stop smiling when I hear this song.

Songs That I love that Boys have not tapped into yet:

"Drive" - THe Cars
"Best of My Love" - The Eagles
"Careless Whisper" - George Michaels
