I'm Coming Out


Don't Panic mom ! I simply would like to take a moment to say that we all have skeletons in our closets. The skeletons of which I speak of are those songs and artists that we may not be so eager to admit that we listen to or like.

I have decided to disclose this personal information about myself because I truly believe we all have someone we listen to that others find silly, outdated, or just downright repulsive.

So here is a list of artists and songs that I like and maybe a little sentimental reason behind why I am so loyal.

First and foremost Michael Jackson. He's creepy and strange with less than one percent of his original face left ( and the rest detachable) but gosh darn it , I just want to bust a move every time I hear his old school stuff.. what can I say.

Lenny Kravits ( If he ever shows up at my door and asks me to run off with him, I told Alex, he will just have to understand.)

Billy Idol - White wedding ( if you say you don't like Billy .. you are lying)
Bobby Brown - ahh junior high school
Cake - Short skirt long jacket/ every girl wants to be like the one described in this song ( with fingernails that shine like justice)
Black eyed Peas- my kids get psychotic when I sing their songs
Boyz 11 Men - oh baby !
The Carrs - okay when I was a kid they had a video on MTV and he was a fly, after that I was hooked
Kool and the Gang - She's Fresh ( that song is so fresh)
Pet Shop Boys - Eastern Boys Western Girls .. so hot
Wyclef Jean - sometimes I just want to move to Port Au Prince, make my hair into dreads and strum my guitar on the beach.
Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf
Tom Petty - a little demented .. which is just how I like it
Sting/Police - Don't stand so close to me - The theme song of every good looking male high school teacher
Toto - Africa
Toni Tony Tone - I got nothin here
Flock Of Seagulls - I ran ( when one feels like running )
Rolling stones ( table dance!)
Wang Chung ( eighties party song yeah!)
New Edition
Earth Wind and Fire ( great for romantic moments .. which people my age no longer experience)
George Michael ( I liked him before he came out okay? Besides after he did his music just wasn't that good anymore anyways. )

I think I've embarrassed myself enough .. your turn.

It's not the age that is stopping the romantic moments, it is those 10 beautiful children of yours. I still can't figure out how you got the 10th!

Cheryl said...

There must be more romance than you realize!

Barry Manilow rocks! I used to love The Captain and Tenille, The Carpenters, Bread, Simon and Garfunkel, The Turtles.......

Does this age me??

Jillee Brown said...

Ambie said...

Really Jill? hmm which song ? Thriller no doubt, or maybe smooth criminal.

Cheryl age is nothing but a number ..er.... who is the captain and Tenille? I guess that was before I was born.

Copacabana is one of my all time favorite songs. I know I will get hell for this but....NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK BABY!!! I've loved them forever!!!!

Ambie said...

I love New Kids and Mili Vanili too.. or whoever the REAL singer was

Cheryl said...

I really feel old now. Captian and Tenille is a pop group from the 70's. You are right, it was probably before you were born. They sang, "Love will keep us together" and my favorite, "Muskrat Love."

Two words:
Country Music

You know you love it Ambie, no need to stay in the closet, or the corral, on that one.

My all-time favorite country music verse:

I got drunk the night that mama got out of prison.
I went to pick her up in the rain.
But before I could reach her in my pick up truck,
she got run over by a train.


I just don't see how anyone can't like country music. There's a tear in my beer, y'all.
