30 Days of Song: Day Ten

Day 10: Song that makes you fall asleep

I sleep with music playing all night. I always have. So music just soothes me no matter what it is. Instead of counting sleep I imagine skaters skating to the songs I'm listening to and then I'm out like a light (no one said I wasn't a nerd). So this one is a little challenging because I can't think of a single song that I haven't slept to at least once... but... I'll go with Sing Sweet Nightingale from Disney's Cinderella... it's a sweet, short, song that I think works as a lullaby...



Now it's back to working on retooling my Photography Blog.

30 Days of Song: Day Nine

Day 9: Song you can dance to

I have to choose this song just because of the memories I have with Erin. The song came out a few weeks before we travelled from Kenai, Alaska to Portland, Oregon so Erin could attend cooking school to become the wonderful and amazing chef that she is. We were in I don't know where Canada late at night (or really early early morning) getting gas. Erin and I headed into the gas station to get snacks and sodas and all sorts of bad for you foods and this really hot Canadian Cowboy came roaring into the parking lot blasting "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy" by Big & Rich. Being as slap happy as I was by this point on the road I began busting out the music video moves (though not anywhere near as amazing) and, well, yeah... we still talk about it seven plus years later.

And since I couldn't find their music video I put up On The Rocks' version of it. Because they're awesome.

30 Days of Song: Day Eight

Day 8: Song you know all the words to


I know a lot of songs by heart. As well as movies. It drives my family nuts. They're all jealous, I know it. Anyway, I've shared this video many times. It's a song that my BFF found for our trip to Disney in 2009... and I've been obsessed ever since. The best part? The part about Southern Baptists. Thankfully the ban has been lifted, or I'd be a bad Baptist...

10 months till Disneyland... 2 years till WDW!

30 Days of Song: Day Seven

Day 7: Song that reminds you of an event

Everytime we got on a road trip, Erin and I sing this song ad naseum to get ready for the adventure... On the Open Road is from A Goofy Movie, and I think the songs are the best part about the film. On The Open Road is perfect for ANY road trip.

More Piratey Things


30 Days of Song: Day Six

Day 6: Song that reminds you of somewhere

In honor of International Talk Like A Pirate Day (one of me favorite days of the year, savvy?) I've chosen the classic "Yo Ho, Yo Ho a Pirates Life For Me" which, of course, is from Walt Disney's Disneyland Pirate Adventure ride "Pirates of the Caribbean". So, can you guess where it takes me back?


And, because it's Talk Like A Pirate Day... and what really started the International craze was the movie based on teh ride... (and Johnny Depp's eyeliner)...


I'm watching the movie as I post this and we're just about to this scene... hee hee hee

30 Days of Song: Day Four

Day 4: Song that makes you sad
I first remember hearing this song on a compilation disk I got for the fourth of July. It was Patriotic Country and you can tell that, for the most part, it was put together soon after the 9-11 terror attacks due to the overall theme of the songs chosen. One Last Time by Dusty Drake was the bonus track. It makes me think of Flight 93 and the heros of that tragic day.

30 Days of Song: Day Three

Day 3: Song That Makes You Happy

There are so many, but the first one that popped in my head today is Disney's "I'll Make A Man Out of You." It's from Disney's Mulan and is sung by Donny Osmond. It's my best friend and my inside joke. Not even sure what that song is other than we sing it at the top of our lungs and then gush about how awesome Donny Osmond is (which then normally puts us in a Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat mood).
