Toe tapping funky bass love maker - "Never Too Much" Luther Vandross


"Never Too Much" Luther Vandross

There are so many great things about this song: funky bass, smooth vocals, catchy lyrics (never too much, never too much, never too much, never too much...). This song makes me want to sing and dance down the sidewalk, pointing at strangers and lip syncing the words to happy couples.

How you'll move: Funky swaying with passionate singing.

How you'll feel: Plain old happy.

When to play it: When you need a smile, a slow dance, and/or a good time.

Pop lock and drop a shit - "Kids" Sleigh Bells


"Kids" Sleigh Bells

Now THIS is a shitty song... no, I'm kidding, it's awesome! No... wait... I listened again. It's shit. However, this is a blog about songs that move me not songs that I'm nominating for a Grammy. I heard this song on a commercial for some horrendous MTV show glamorizing teen drinking, sex, and drug use; it's called "Skins." No comment. This song has erotic grunting, indecipherable lyrics, and annoying vowel sounds, but that beat makes me want to throw on a face mask and dance battle with the Jabberwockies or bounce in my low rider. Either one.

How you'll feel: Dumber, guilty.

How you'll move: Neck-breaking head bobbing.

Side note: Wikipedia calls Sleigh Bells "pop noise"; that sounds pretty damn accurate.
