Numa Numa
That song's starting to grow on me... It's Romanian - what else can I say?
Anyhoo - I've just finished putting the finishing flourishes on our Singapore CD and its looking good. The list of songs includes:
1. Banana Phone (Raffi) - because it was on my phone and played constantly by a certain someone *cough*kirani*cough*
2. Wind Beneath my Wings (Bette Midler) - We sang this and our taxi driver on the first night replied "but you don't even know my name, you've only just met me!"
3. Unchained Melody (Elvis Presley) - Again, this taxi driver broke the ice by bursting into Unchained Melody as soon as we got in the car
4. Out of my Mind (Fastball) - Another fantastic Taxi song
5. Come Fly with Me (Frank Sinatra) - many reasons, one being because I bought the Frank Sinatra platinum edition for $12 we played that a lot a lot
6. High (Lighthouse Family) - it was our school leavers song, the song we walked into the flat to and the song we walked out of the flat to
7. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps (Mari Wilson) - its the theme from Coupling which we watched after eating out at the Hawker's huts. It was, as Selina pointed out, also played in most of the CD shops up there, albeit in another language
8. Sexual Healing (Marvin Gaye) - For some reason or another Kirani had this stuck in her head almost 24/7
9. Well Did You Eva? (Bing Crosby & Frank Sinatra) - Jess would break into song at random intervals - this was one of them.
10. High Hopes (Frank Sinatra) - it was on the Frank Sinatra CD and it was cool. The backup singers really go for broke in this one!
11. Needles and Pins (The Searchers) - another one of my influences via the Heartbeat CD.
12. I'm Walking on Sunshine (Katrina and the Waves) - A great dance song
13. I Get Knocked Down (Chumbawumba) - our wakeboarding song... but probably also something to do with the amount of alcohol drunk this holiday
14. You'll be in my Heart (Tarzan) - Corny? Yes. But great to sing along to when we're alone in the flat
15. Bear Necessities (Jungle Book) - again, a great sing-along!
16. Lifted (Lighthouse Family) - we discovered this in my dad's music collection along with High. Its a great song
17. Photograph (Nickelback) - the debate over this one still rages. Jess likes it, but others think the rhyming is funny (only funny*haha* because its funny*er?*)
eg.
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey’s head?
gawd....
18. Yellow Submarine (Beatles) - our jean-hairdrying music
19. Its my life (Bon Jovi) - we turned this one up veeery loud - Dad has a great subwoofer...
20. Break my stride (Matthew Wilder) - another one of those songs which we sang along to in a taxi.. those poor taxi drivers...
21. Zombie (the Cranberries) - another one of Jess and Kirani's favourites I believe
22. Call on me (Eric Prydz) - we heard this in an arcade somewhere and couldn't stop scaring people by singing it
23. Just to be the next to be with you (Mr Big) - the reason for this one escapes me, but I'm sure it'll return
24. Karma Chameleon (Culture Club) - this one started with Kirani and spiralled out of controll from there
25. I'm into something good (Herman's Hermits) - really simply describing our experiences in Singapore
26. I still call Australia home (Qantas Choir) - I can't believe I found that one...
27. Numa Numa (O-zone) - a fantastic Romanian song, really really catchy if not a little odd
And as of yet, that's it!
Right. Time for me to do something constructive.
Cheers,
C.
