Music List #3

1. Birthday Sex by Jeremih

This song is about receiving sex because it’s your birthday. The song also talks about what happens while they have sex. I don’t hate this song because it is catchy.

2. Day ‘N’ Nite by Kid Cudi

This song is about taking drugs; such as a clip to free ones mind of the pain in loneliness that consumes ones life. Although this song does not send the best message, it is actually one of my favorite songs by Kid Cudi.

3. Number One by R. Kelly feat. Keri Hilson

This song is about how the sex, that they are having is the best sex that is out there, and no one can compare because its number one. I don’t mind listening to this song; I like it, but I wouldn’t say it is one of my favorites.

4. Becky by Plies

In the song, the name Becky is a metaphor for oral sex. So basically the song is about receiving and giving oral sex, and how good it feels. The song is obscene, but just about every song on this list is.

5. Sex Therapy by Robin Thicke

Sex Therapy is defined by its title. It is about having sex to distress and relax. Thicke is basically singing about pleasing a woman, and giving her exactly what she wants. So she can feel good.  This song is also obscene, but its not like it is one of the worst songs that was ever made. 

Music Memories #1

Over the years my taste in music has changed. I believe that, as a 5-year-old most of the music I listened to included the alphabet and nursery rhymes. As a young child I related to music as a source of knowledge and a way to learn. I can’t really remember anything else about listening to music around the age of five. However, I do remember what I listened to as a 10-year-old. As a 10-year-old my favorite genre of music was Pop. I listened to just about anything that was Pop, especially girl power, motivational, and dance music. Some of my favorite artists at the time included Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. I also enjoyed the boy bands, such as Nsync and the Backstreet Boys. As far as favorite songs, I can’t really think of any that come to mind right now. At this point in my life, I looked to music as a source of fun or something to listen to when I danced around with friends. Furthermore, during this time I was dancing competitively, and so most of the songs were Pop based. So I became influenced by the music because I would be listening to it all the time for practice and competition. But as a 15-year-old my taste in music drastically changed! My favorite genres were and still are Hip-Hop and R&B. My favorite artists include Drake, Trey Songz, and the New Boyz. As I grew up I started to relate to music differently because I would look to it for advice, a get away, or use of expression. As of now music really is an outlet for me, and is something that I turn to in the best and worst times of my life. 

Music List #2

Five songs that I absolutely hate are 1) California Girls by Katy Perry, I do not like this song because it is very corny, and the song has no purpose. 2) Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, for me this song has repetitive lyrics and no change in the tempo. I believe it to be one of the weirdest songs that is outright now, mainly because of the music video. 3) Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas. The song is basically the repeating of the title over and over again. 4) Wannabe by the Spice Girls. I hate this song because of the tempo, lyrics, and singing. 5) All of the Lights by Kanye West. I originally liked this song, but once it was played one two many times on the radio the song started to become annoying, and the beat became old and weak. 

Music List #1

My name is Colette Lee and I am majoring in advertising. My taste in music tends to vary, but I mainly enjoy listening to hip-hop and R&B. However I am open to just about every genre of music. As far as my top five favorite songs I do not think I could pick just five only because it changes daily. The mood I am in, and new songs usually define my top five favorite songs. 1) Neighbors Know My Name: I enjoy listening to this song because it puts my mind at ease and brings back old memories. 2) The Prayer: I enjoy this particular song because it has lyrics that are relatable for me, and a song that one can just chill out to. 3) Marvin’s Room: I am recently in love with this song (It just came out)! Its different and has an unusual beat with an overlay of a conversation. 4) Trouble: I like this song because it has an interesting beat and tempo, and a great song to dance to. 5) Shut It Down: I enjoy this song because of its slow tempo, and care free vibe. I included two links below, one to The Prayer and the other to Marvin’s Room (Enjoy!):
