Laurie said...

This is AWESOME! I so agree with this list.

For the record, the only one on the list that I own is You're Beautiful.

I'm partially copying Steven's list.
1. Happy Birthday, Jesus
2. The Christmas Shoes
3. Achy Breaky Heart
4. The Chicken Dance
5. Your Body is a Wonderland

1) definitely "Happy Birthday Jesus" (I think we've already had this discussion!!
2)Crazy by Gnarls Barkley (which I don't get the name of that group at all)
3) MMMBop by Hanson
4) Peaches by Presidents of the United States
5) I don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith

(I hope I didn't repeat any, I didn't double-check the list)

and I don't have any of these in my iPod :-)

Steven and Amanda said...

In the interest of full disclosure, I do have "Crazy" on my iPod.

And, I have Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" but only because it was for a playlist for Amanda. I also have the Shirley Q. Liquor version, which I prefer over Celine.

Finally, I must confess that I have 'NSYNC's "Bye, Bye, Bye," too -- and not just the song. The video. I had to learn a few moves.

My 5 are annoying to me, but also songs over sung (SOS). Happy Birthday Jesus would be on my list, but since it annoys Steven so much it is now one of my favs.

1.Friends are Friends Forever
2.It's a Small World After All
3.Butterfly Kisses
4.From way back...The Family of God by The Gaithers
5.I Will Always Love You (from the Body Guard and Dolly Parton) Whitney Houston

The Bride said...

I'm a complete cheese I guess! I actually get excited to hear several of the songs on the list! AND for full disclosure, Steven, I STILL cry at Christmas Shoes and Butterfly Kisses nearly every time I hear them, there I said it!

I have "My humps" on an iPod stolen from an old co-workers CD. I think it's about my mom's mashed potato recipe.

My additional five:
1)Don't Take the Girl (Tim McGraw)
2)Take Another Little Piece of My Heart (version by Faith Hill) [no hard feelings Tim & Faith!]
3)Hillary Duff's whole CD
4)Pour Some Sugar on Me (Def Leopard)
5)Lips of an Angel

I've got "Crazy" on my iPOD as well as "My Humps."

(21) "Can't Touch This" MC Hammer
(22) That Six Flags song I thought would go away once AstroWorld closed (but apparently I forgot about the Fiesta Texas commercials)
(23) "Ice Ice Baby" Vanilla Ice
(24) "I Believe I Can Fly" R. Kelly
(25) "Umbrella" Rhianna

I admit that many of these songs are anoying, but the key is dumb songs that are getting lots of air play right now.

1. Ticks
2. Shackles
3. anything by JT
4. fore she was mama
5. Buttons

Steven and Amanda said...

Arshunda ... don't hate me for having the Six Flags song on my iPod.

And, you would have been annoyed on our mission trip to Belize. One of your songs became one of our anthems: "I Belize I can fly ..."

FitzandMolly said...

I must agree with "My Humps."

I would add:
Sexy Back (or whatever it is) by JT
Merry Christmas, Darling by the Carpenters

oooh! and the terrible Christmas song by the Beatles that I cannot remember the title of.

susannah said...

I've got Celine's greatest hits, Livin' La Vida Loca and You're Beautiful.

AyDubb said...

"I Belize I Can Fly"...wow. That's all I got.

Sassy Shae said...

None of those songs are on my MP3 player. Thank goodness!

I'd add:
1) "I... Will Always Love You" - any incarnation, Whitney or Dolly
2) "Major Tom" - Peter Schilling
3) "99 Luft Balloons" - in German or English
4) "Just a Gigolo" - David Lee Roth
5) "Mickey" - Tony Basil
