Recently, I’ve been thinking about the soundtrack of my life. If I wanted to make a movie of my life, which songs would be on the soundtrack? So, what would be the soundtrack of your life? Here’s mine:

Doobie Brother’s “Minute by Minute” - ages 2 to 4
John Lennon’s “Woman” - - ages 2 to 4
Bette Midler’s “The Rose” - ages 4 to 6
Cyndi Lauper “Girl’s Just Want to Have Fun” - age 6
Annie Lennox “Sweet Dreams” - age 6 to 7
“Only Paradise” - summer of age 7
Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” - age 7 to 8 (remember when he wasn’t a perv? Good times…)
Madonna “Like a Virgin” - age 9/10 (no one knew what a virgin was.)
Debbie Gibson “Foolish Beat” - age 10
Tiffany “I think We’re Alone Now” - age 10
Jesus Jones “Right Here, Right Now” - age 11 (the Berlin Wall had just come down, everything seemed possible.)
Queensryche “Silent Lucidity” - age 11
Extreme “More than Words” - age 11
Living Color “Cult of Personality” - age 11
New Kids on the Block - age 12 to 13 (ugh, the insanity)
Janet Jackson “Rhythm Nation” - age 13 to 14 (an album chock full of hit singles).
Paul Simon “Graceland” - age 14 to 15 (Mom would blast his album to wake us up on weekends).
Pearl Jam “Ten” - soundtrack to early high school years.
Nirvana “Nevermind” - high school soundtrack. (Remember the good old days of flannel shirts, mosh pits, and no teen pop?)
Alice in Chains “Man in the Box” - high school. Blew my mind
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Nine Inch Nails “Hurt” - age 17
Blind Melon “Rain” - age 17
Seal “Kiss from a Rose” - age 18
Simon & Garfunkel - age 18 (I discovered them my senior year in high school.)
Dave Matthews - college.
Jewel - college
Toad the Wet Sprocket - college.
Meatloaf “I Would Do Anything for Love” - my freshman roomate played this over and over.
Deep Blue Something “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” - ditto. Kill me now.
Chumbawampa “Tubthumping” - 21st birthday. (Jagermeister and this song… ow)
Ricky Martin “La Vida Loca” - age 22. My roomates and I had a collective orgasm when his video premiered.
Eiffel 65 “Blue” - cute at first but got progressively annoying.
Britney Spears - college to present.
Christina Aguilera - college to present.
The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” - 9/11. (Eternally connected thanks to the concert in New York.)

This is all that I could think of while at work. What are yours?

Lately I’ve been singing the Banana’s tune on my way to and from meetings.

“One banana, two banana three banana, four
Four banana’s playing in the bright warm sun
La la la lalalala la la la lalalala”

Unfortunately or maybe fortunately that is all I remember so I just keep repeating.
