A bit of Friday-night fun courtesy of Seasider in the City and inspired by Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles and his crew. Basically you put your MP3 player on shuffle and confess the first 3 songs that play. Rather nervously Mummy went for it:
So far not too embarrassing, Friendly Fires – On Board. Phew, image as cool bird still intact.
James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado. Still not bad – Mummy’s doing ok.
Blondie – Sunday Girl. Yesssss!
Thank goodness. It could just as easily have been Shake Me I Rattle, Squeeze Me I Roll. Or LazyTown. Phew!
Then she realised the meme requires 5 songs – bated breath here:
4. Soft Cell – Tainted Love, oh iPhone please don’t let me down at this late stage….
5. Dido – This Land is Mine – hmmmmm 
Tagging Mammasaurus -she hates being tagged, but I think she might like this one. Motherventing – she intrigues me. SAHD – I don’t know enough about him. MusoDad – this could be interesting. From Fun To Mum – ditto. And Typecast – I’m a glutton for punishment! If you’re not tagged, you can join in anyway, let @SeasiderClare know how much you like her meme!

Very good idea. It came to me too and I had a go! Such a great idea!
Romanian mum recently posted..What’s on MP3????
Damn, I don’t have a mp3 player but if I did and it was on random, I’d be listening to Leonard Cohen (I’m Your Man), Paul McCartney & Wings (Live & Let Die), Eminem (Love the way you lie), Moby (One of these Mornings), and lastly Chris de Burgh (Lonely Sky).
Done!

1. Masquerade – The Skids…. Got into this band after they had been “famous” some great punk/indie songs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r–TkMjI-Z4
2. Oh dear – Chitty Chitty Bang Bang I used to be really scared of The Child Catcher..

4. Wait – Take That (Bit Embarrassed!!) Good album but this song not the best, never listened to it before!
5. Marlene on The Wall – Suzanne Vega, so so, Toms Diner was more famous
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoI9yVOb_xY
Who’s the gormless bloke at 1min???
Liking this so……
6. Who Wants to Live Forever – Queen, no real view on this one, great band but not my faves
7. I am The Music Man – My First Album (so i am?)
8. Bitches Brew – Inspiral Carpets (not my fave song, but one of my fave bands ever).. this is their classic….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-fX0UbpZls&ob=av2e
Class!! And a good place to end!
And found a great version of the last song by Carter USM at Brixton Academy, a great venue that I have seen some of my all time faves at inc Sleeper, Levellers, Transvision Vamp…
Now i’m on a roll…
Actually Mummy’s & Actually Daddy’s defining song (starts 4min 20) in their romantic days, should have had this as our first dance, not Shania Twain (soft option). You can see me at the front (crowd surfing, I think they called it?) & Actually Mummy at the back (thinking what had she got herself into!!
And we all grow up/old….
Actually Daddy, get your own bloody blog! I can recommend a collaboration with Musodad if you like

Some absolute classics there. Great idea, thanks for tagging me.

Oh this is cool. I haven’t looked at my iPod for actual years. But I *know* it’s a huge eclectic mix of everything I shamelessly adore.
“this town ain’t big enough for the both of us…..” for instance, is definitely on there. I might join in anyway.

What a fab mix! Thanks for joining in and I can’t wait to read the posts of some of those you have tagged lol!

I like Blondie and I like Tainted Love too…but if I like them it means that they are either waaaay too old or uncool, sorry to break the news! Thanks for tagging me, I enjoyed doing a meme that requires no-thinking, but merely some shuffling.
