"How much fun have you got in you?"

So, I had to work in Santa Clarita yesterday (ahhh, the infamous Whittaker Bermite). I didn't want to wake up any earlier to run to the office to pick up the work truck, so I opted for another 30 minutes of sleep (having to wake up at 4:30 in stead of 4) and my own car. Anyways, I was rummaging through the cds in my case (that never gets used anymore...thank you CREATIVE:ZEN Vision) and came upon this jewel...this playlist brought life back into my dust filled lungs and joy back into my rhythm tapping foot. Behold, from the music archives of moi:

Ahhh...delicious goodness to my ears. What more could I ask for then a musical awakening on a 3 hour "drive" through traffic? ..."you're like a hip hop song you know..."

PUSH PLAY

So, this is whats been in my head lately...Calabria - Enur ft Natasja "woop woop" (I wanted to post the video, but refrained due to some "risque" visuals...but it cracks me up cause I totally do this, dance like an idiot, but in the confines of my own home...most of the time :) no worries, the 1st 50 sec. aren't that "risque"). Its completely DANCE worthy...I've just been trying not to play that song to much lately...

Here's whats also on this week's playlist:

2. Go Girl - Pitbull ft Trina & Young Boss

3. The Way I Are - Timbaland ft. Keri Hilson

4. Get Low - Flo Rida ft. T-Pain

5. Sensual Seduction - Snoop Dogg

6. Flashing Lights - Kanye West

7. Don't Stop the Music - Rhianna

8. Superstar - Lupe Fiasco ft Matthew Santos

9. Freakshow - Britney Spears

10. Kiss Kiss - Chris Brown ft T-Pain

11. The Anthem - Pitbull ft Lil John

Can ya tell I'm in need of a dancin' sesh??? Oh, can no one do a song anymore without "featuring" somebody else??? My inspiration? A "girl powered" energy drink...Not for dudes! (it says that on the can)

(...this energy drink is for reals...ha, ha, I tried something new. I think I'll stick to my sugar free Redbulls and Mango Rockstars...)

-N-
Dance like no one's watching..."woop, woop..."

"Hello, I love you won't you tell me your name..."
