Celebrity Playlists
My friends and I came up with a fun idea for a blog and I think you all might enjoy doing it as well. So here's the challenge - make your own celebrity playlist! Compile a list of 12 songs. They can be your favorite songs, songs that mean something in particular to you, whatever you like. Post the title and artist of each song along with a short quote about what this song means to you. You can use www.playlist.com or www.youtube.com to put together links to the songs so we can all listen to them if you can figure that out. Also, at the top of your post I'd like to see a picture of you in your most celebrity-like pose and the title of the blog should be "{Insert your name here}'s Celebrity Playlist"
If you have any questions about what this should look like, go to the iTunes Music Store and look at some of the other celebrity playlists. And finally, have fun with it but seriously, this is your celebrity playlist...choose wisely. ;)
Here's my playlist...
Marnie's Celebrity Playlist
1. "I Don't Know What It Is" by Rufus Wainwright - "The first five seconds of this song feel like a breath of fresh air. This is the song that made me fall in love with Rufus. Thanks for the tip, Bob."
2. "La Derniere Minute" by Carla Bruni - "That's the first lady of France singing there! I love the beat and pace of this song and her voice was meant to speak/sing French."
3. "The Blower's Daughter" by Damien Rice - "This is what love should be like. This song takes my breath away - that's right, just like Top Gun."
4. "Gymnopedie No. 1" by Eric Satie - "This is the most calming song I have ever heard. Perfect for an afternoon nap on a summer day - you can almost hear waves in the background of the music."
5. "I Hear a Symphony" by Diana Ross & The Supremes - "You gotta love The Supremes and this song just perfectly describes the feeling of being in love."
6. "Come By Me" by Harry Connick Jr. - "I had to throw one in from Harry. I've loved him for over 15 years and this song is just so happy and fun."
7. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles - "My answer to 'Which song best describes you?'"
8. "You Had Time" by Ani DiFranco - "I love the beginning of this song, it's like you don't really know what's coming."
9. "Whisper of a Thrill" by Thomas Newman - "As soon as I hear any of the songs on this soundtrack a flood of memories rush into my mind. This is my favorite of the bunch."
10. "Leaving Paris" by Craig Armstrong - "His simple piano makes the most beautiful soundtracks."
11. "Ooh La La" by Rod Stewart - "The perfect road trip song."
12. "I Have a Dream" by ABBA (sung by Amanda Seyfried) - "Not only are the lyrics for this song great, it is just so fun to sing."
(The playlist below is missing songs 3, 4, 10 and 11 but you can find them at the link to YouTube if it is there or on iTunes.)
Actually, I kinda like the idea, but I can think of hundreds of songs that are my favorites. I found two of yours that would be on my first 12. Jude and I Have a Dream. I'll have to think about the rest. And, even once I do, I may change the two above. I really like those two. Anyway, I'll try to work on it. L/ Dad
