GODAMN I LOVE THIS SONG WEEK 3:

  Frank Ocean - Pyrite (Fool's Gold) by Saeedope

Is it obvious I love Frank Ocean? I was going to put "Strawberry Swing" for week 3 but that song has been on the blog two times already.  I love his voice and his music, but I like him even more so because he is actually an interesting person.  His blog can be found here, and his twitter is @Frank_Ocean.  He has a lot of good things to say. So many new artists come and go as quickly as they became popular, I know he will be around for a long time.

Week 1: Al Green- "What a Wonderful Thing Love is"
Week 2: Salt N Pepa- "Heaven 'n Hell"
Week 3: Frank Ocean- "Pyrite (Fool's Gold)"

GODAMN I LOVE THIS SONG WEEK 2:

SO, here's my backstory on this song.

Like any proper girl in 1993, I got the "Very Necessary" CD right when it came out. "Shoop" was playing on the radio non-stop and EVERY GIRL LOVED THAT SONG.  TO THIS DAY.  1993 I was in.... 5th or 6th grade. So I remember being at extended day after school, which was like basically for kids whose parents can't pick them up on time, and listening to this cd on my discman.  I remember hearing this song and immediately getting out my notebook and pausing/playing so I could write all the lyrics down.  I think that was the first time I did that, and I did that 8 million times later.  That's how you learned the words! You could not google the lyrics to songs back in my day, KIDS.  Very rarely did they have all the lyrics in liner notes. When this was released as a single, I remember feeling sooooo cool I already knew all the words and there may have been a few sleepover parties where this song was performed.....Hey we were like 11.  To this day I still love this song, it was actually one of the first 20 cds I owned (my first CD: Mariah Carey - Music Box).  If I made an "I'm dying and I need to hear it before I go" playlist, this would certainly be on it.

Week 1: Al Green- "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is"

GODAMN I LOVE THIS SONG WEEK 1:

Mental image for listening to this song:

Dancing in the living room with a glass of wine while your man is sitting on the couch.
Watching you with tie loosened.
After a really good dinner.
Then he gets up to dance with you.
You dance together like they did in 1972 when this song came out....

Get it?

Jon Hamm please.
