Pop Musicology - "The Second Drummer Drowned"

US songstress Katy Perry has taken the music charts by storm with her worldwide no.1 smash hit single "I Kissed A Girl", a seriously infectious and catchy number that deals with sexual orientation and to a certain extent, promiscuity as well.

Deemed controversial by some for the nature of the song's lyrics, the controversy has only heightened the song and Perry's popularity in countries such as the US, Canada and Australia with "I Kissed A Girl" topping the local charts respectively.

The song is the second hit single to appear on Perry's sophomore album One Of The Boys (Perry's first studio album featured Christian songs only) and eclipses the success of her debut single "Ur So Gay" which has been hailed by some, including Madonna, while frowned upon by those who conclude the song has homophobic connotations.

Other recommended tracks include the album's third single "Hot N Cold", "Mannequin," and "Thinking Of You".

One Of The Boys Track Listing:

1. One Of The Boys
2. I Kissed A Girl
3. Waking Up In Vegas
4. Thinking Of You
5. Mannequin
6. Ur So Gay
7. Hot N Cold
8. If You Can Afford Me
9. Lost
10. Self Inflicted
11. I'm Still Breathing
12. Fingerprints

Swallowing a microphone

July 15th 2008 02:06

While it might seem like a good idea to have the microphone on a stand, there are all kinds of microphone-related accidents that can happen. This is a bizarre, hilarious video of a wedding singer getting a big surprise.

It's probably better to hire a DJ... there's no way a DJ could swallow a record or a turntable. Even safer would be a mime, but the silence at your wedding would probably irritate the guests into mime-directed violence.

I had a friend that picked up a little wedding DJ work, but he had to quit because it was making him nauseous. All those requests, the soap opera fits, the drunkenness... it's too much for a person to take.

One time, the groom put on an Ice Cube song, and the bride's family, pure country & western, did not like that one bit.

Still, a little bit of irritation is a small price to pay to keep your throat microphone-free!

Mamma Mia: Movie (Soundtrack)

July 11th 2008 01:25

Many of the hugely popular and addictive Abba songs like their signature Dancing Queen (the group's biggest ever hit), Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, Honey Honey, Mamma Mia, and more are all featured in the movie soundtrack.

As it turns out, not only is multiple Academy Award winner Meryl Streep a fantastic actress, she can also belt out a mean tune with her delightful solo rendition of 'Mamma Mia' and 'The Winner Takes It All' as well as featuring in other songs such as 'Money, Money, Money', and 'Dancing Queen'.
