Repeater Songs: 2009-12-10
03:30 PM: You know, soon after we installed the gat heaters in 2008, [Emmy] discovered that it feels wonderful to pull up an old rocker that we have down there, and sit in front of the heater as it hisses and blazes. So I tried that today, with my iPod, and she’s right. I really enjoyed the warmth and now, I understand why Dad used to spend so much time in front of the coal furnace, when we had one here, back in the late 1980s and 1990s. When it’s cold outside, there’s little that comforts more than planting one’s self close to a heat source of abundance like those heaters we have today, and then watching the wind and snow rage on outside while feeling so warm that the sweat breaks out. It makes you just want to stick your tongue out at the weather.
However, I discovered no repeater songs today in my iPod jaunt. But several great songs that gave me pause were:
- Crazy by Britney Spears
- Electric Funeral by Black Sabbath
- Precious Love by Bob Welch
- Two Pina Coladas by Garth Brooks
- Without Me by Eminem
Actually, these hits have been repeaters in years past: Crazy in 1998, Electric Funeral back in 1972, Precious Love in 1979, Two Pina Coladas in 1992, and Without Me in 2002. But today, none inspired me to press that repeat button, though I did listen to each of them all the way through once anyhow. I suppose I’ve not gotten so tired of them yet, that I hate to listen to them at all. Or, perhaps I just was not in a repeater mood. I dunno.
