Looking for a little mood music for a slow dance with your schmoopy (Seinfeld fans will get the reference). Look no further. Amazon is offering a free download of Marvin Gaye‘s sexy slow groove, “Let’s Get it On” (I wonder if today it would have to be called “Let’s F***”. Making it seem a lot less sexy. Actually, saying let’s get it on, in retrospect, isn’t completely hot either. Huh.)

And see the Obamas take their first presidential dance to Beyonce singing “At Last” by Etta James? Stunning, beautiful moment.

You can get the song here:

At Last

*happy sigh* It was a good day.

I’ve been talking about boinga today on Twitter. It’s my new Zen word. Boinga! If you don’t have small children, it’s unlikely you know what Boinga is, so I’ll share…

The female voice is Alica Keys.

Boinga!

(sorry for the earworm. But not really)

Ear worm alert!

I’m sure many of you remember this Fergie song, London Bridge, since they played it every five minutes on the radio when it first released.

But what you might not have heard is the rock version done by Bowling for Soup. Oh man, LOVE it! I don’t think my husband expected me to like it quite so much when he showed it to me, but now I can’t get it out of my head. Tell me what you think. It’s fun if you watch at least a few seconds of the Fergie one to get a sense of comparison.

A few months ago there was a discussion about children’s songs on my mom’s group. I was in Australia and not really in a position to watch/listen to a lot of the songs but I remembered clicking on this one and thinking it might be fun. So I asked about it again this week so I could hunt it down. My new favorite “children’s” song. If you’re a mom, you’ll probably enjoy it. The group is a Christian acapella children’s group called Go Fish. I bought Party Like A Preschooler and we’re really enjoying it in the car. Though Brianna and Josh say Choo Choo Soul is still their favorite (you’ll recognize that group if you watch Disney Playhouse).

ETA: I suggest those of you with the editing gene not actually watch the video but just listen to the song, because there are a LOT of typos in the video, lolol.

Must share. The new Nickelback CD released today. It’s available for mp3 download right now from Amazon for $4!

Dark Horse

He made me watch this video the other night and now I can’t get this song out of my head

I have to admit, the song is really catchy, and they sounded amazing doing it acoustic, which is kind of impressive, since some musicians require the polish that the studio gives. Not these guys. And his enjoyment and glee in the song? Killer.

Freakin’ Disney. I bought Brianna this Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cd at Amazon (actually I bought the MP3 version for instant gratification) and one of the songs on that cd is now permanently embedded in my brain. “Your Library” by Ludwig Von Drake. Click on the song title to hear a sample (it’s really a catchy song, especially for a bibliophile).
