1990-1950

It Don't Mean A Thang(1931) - Duke Ellington

As old music goes, this son is pretty good. I actually kinda like it. I have loved Swing Dance ever since I heard it existed and thought swing music was pretty good. Its got a good swing to it. Its a nice and catchy song. It has gotten stuck in my head many times and I like it. This song is pretty popular still. For me, when I think about swing music, this is the first song that comes into my hea, and it is decades old.

Give My Regards To Broaway(1904) - George M. Cohan

This song is from an old musical. The song is ok. I wouldn't download it onto my Ipod, but I wouldn't have the need to change the channel if he song came on(unlike Justin Bieber). The song is mostly more like taking a song, not as much singing. I perfer songs that are actually people singing the songs and not really ones where they talk them, it doesn't show much talent.

Autumn Leaves (Les Feuilles Mortes) (1947) - Music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert

I don't like this song at all. Its too slow and its in french so I don't understand it. I just don't find it entertaining at all. Not my style of music what so ever. Its just every boring to me. It has not beat really to it.


1950-1970

Jailhouse Rock (1957) - Elvis Presley

I like this song, I mean, its good for the time period. Its got a nice beat and fun lyrics. This music has progressed alot since the previous time period. A lot of people didn't like Elvis because his moves were 'vulgure', but now a days they are quiet tame. So in total, this is a pretty good song. Like, I wouldn't put it on myipod, but I don't mind listening to it once in a while or like in class and stuff. But I don't like enough to take the time to put it on my ipod ad I would never really listen to it if I did.

Sweet Caroline(1969) - Neil Diamond

I love this song. It is such a popular song and 2 of my favourite people have covered it. Jonas Brothers and David Archuleta. Its a nice song, and I'm suprised that I actually like it because I don't like many old songs. The 2 covers that I love are the 2 I mentioned before and I really like and love listening to.

I've Just Seen A Face(1965) - The Beatles

I love this song. I actually had it on my mp3 for a while, but never got around to putting it on my ipod. I love the music to this song and everything about it really. It is one of my favourite by The Beatles. It is one of the few old songs that I really like and wouldn't mind having n my ipod, well, the version that was sung in Across The Universe that is.

1970-2000


Don't Stop Belevin'(1981) - Journey

I love this song. I have a cover of it on my Ipod and love listening to it, Good melody and beat. It's got a good message to, basically dont give up. This song is one of my favourites and is really fun to sing along to. I have only heard the original version by Journey a few times but I like their version to. Liking the original is kind of a must:)




All Star(1999) - Smashmouth

I'm not gonna lie, I loved this song when I was a kid, and would consider puttin it back onto my ipod. It has a really catchy melody and tune in it. Its just a really fun song that brings back memories. The lyrics are fun too. Its an easy song to dance to and sing along too too.

I'm Too Sexy(1992) - Right Said Fred

This song is amazing. I love listening to it and watching video's people have made of it. It doesn't really have any point to it, but thats what makes it fun. Not all songs have to have a real meaning to it or have tobe about relationship. Sometimes songs about nothing are the best. This song is very easily stuck in my head as well.


2000's

Sk8r Boi(2002) - Avril Lavigne

This song is pretty good. I've never really been a huge Avril fan, but I don't mind this song and I will listen to it. It has a good message too. Basically that you dont have to be a certian way to be with a certian guy. In the song, the boy is a skater boy and she did ballet. Two very different people liked eachother and made it all work out great. This song is also really catchy and fun to dance to.

Candy Shop(2005) - 50 Cent

I don't like this song at all. It's all about sex and I don usually like songs about it. Thats one reason why I don't like half the music that it out now a days, sometimes I only like a song for the music itself but hate he lyrics. Sex songs are really pointless and unnessary. There are other ways to go about relationships in songs without always having to talk about sex.

A Little Bit Longer(2008) -Nick Jonas

This song is one of my favourites. It is not about sex and it isn't even about a relationship. Nick wrote it about his Type 1 diabetes. Its about going through a hard time in life. You don't even have to have diabeted to relate to it. One of the lyrics is 'A Little bit longer and I'll be fine'. This lyrics can really be applied to anything, any hard time you are going through in your life. It is such a beautiful song and you can tell that it was written straight from the heart.
