The ladies running the show over at Monday Music Moves Me (Xmas Dolly, Stacy Uncorked, Cathy Kennedy, and Shakira) have provided the most awesome theme for this week’s music selections!
SONGS FROM THE YEAR YOUR CHILDREN WERE BORN
My
kids are old-ish so that means I must be too…nah! It’s all about the age you
are in your head! At least to me. Here's to 1990 and 1993. While I was working, preparing bottles, warming jars of food and cutting up PB&J's, I was also listening and dancing!
In
1990, Phil Collins had several songs in the top 100. Wilson Phillips was new on
the charts with harmonies and lyrics that drew me in so completely that I ran
out for their album. Janet Jackson was making a run and Milli Vanilli hadn’t
been “found out” yet.
It
was difficult for me to choose just two songs from this year. So I picked one
that I still love from Heart that’s a bit scandalous if you listen to the words.
I’ve always loved those two rocker chicks!
And the other was the one I sang and danced to the most in the early 90’s playing at every single party for the next several years. Remember the B52?
1993
seemed to be all about Whitney and I Will
Always Love You. Meatloaf was jamming I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t
Do That) as she belted out those ballads.
I
was and still am touched by Stings song, Fields
Of Gold. It makes my mind drift to places and people I love to remember.
I
played Aerosmith’s Cryin’ constantly.
Feel in love with the video on MTV and young Alicia Silverstone. Just wait until the end of this. Pretty damn good and a nice screw you!
And
I just had to add a third. Rod might creep out some of you but he was all that
back in the early days (despite the crazy stomach stories, if you know what I
mean…) and this is my absolute, hands down, favorite song of his! He’s singing
it live and I love that everyone sings it with him.
Happy Monday!

Man, I have a few stories tied up with these songs, but I think I shall keep them to myself for now.
Good old 1993, I was only 7...
First off NEVER use the "old" word again. None of us are THAT here. lol We're all young at heart FOREVER, and ever, and ever! I just love all of your picks. Out of my three children, two were born in the 90s - 1991 & 1994 so I was digging these tunes right along with you sista through the diaper changes and feedings. Thanks for sharing and dancing with us on Monday's Music Moves Me!
