The Great Eight - July 18th

There are songs that stick in your head, stay there for a while, and repeat over and over again until you find yourself humming, buzzing, or all-out singing them aloud in front of strangers. The following are a few songs I have maybe, probably engaged in these activities . . . but man are they worth it! Some are older songs, and a couple are fresher to the scene, but as it goes with sing-a-longs, we can't choose our favorites, our favorites choose us. Enjoy!


Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control
~ Live performance from Cochella 2006 provided by my friend at 1,2,3 . . . Calabaza!

The Bird and The Bee - Polite Dance Song
~ I've posted a link to this song before but it really benefits from a bad ass video!

The Flaming Lips - She Don't Use Jelly
~ Classic song no one can resist singing, while using magazines . . .

Muse - Time Is Running Out
~ Glad to be an Entourage fan; first heard this tune on out credits after an episode and have been hooked on the band since!

Kings of Leon - Fans
~ "Homegrown . . . Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio". If you don't, you're dead inside!

Rilo Kiley - Silver Lining
~ What happens when the girl gets over the guy's BS? She writes this song.

Born Ruffians - Badonkadonkey
~ Song is much more than the name. It makes you get up and groove.

Miniature Tigers - The Wolf
~ "Everybody's looking at you like they wanna go home with you". What more do you need to know? (link is to the band's MySpace, and yes I just blogged about this song but it's stuck in my head!)
