Kitty's Corner

We're nearly reaching the end of my series of music posts. It's now week 28 out of 30, so now there only this one and two more to go. Read the rules here if you don't know what I'm talking about.

This weeks challenge is to post a song that makes you feel guilty. It reminds me quite a bit about week 13's challenge: A song that is a guilty pleasure, where I posted a song by Right Said Fred. I have the same problem as I had all those weeks ago: I simply don't understand how a song should be able to make me feel guilty!

I'll give it a go anyway, with two videos, because I couldn't decide which one to chose.

The first one is with Afroman:



I have to admit that I especially enjoy the two white chicks in the beginning of the video.

And next one up is Katy Perry:




That's what I can come up with for today. What about you?

So, it's Monday again already. Those weekends sure happen very fast!
It's time for another post in my row of music challenges (rules listed here in case anyone forgot them)...
This week is calling for a song, that you can play on an instrument. Hmm. I'm not out of a musical family, really, but I can play one song. One.



Meet the Muppets, performing "When the saints go marching in".

Next week's challenge is about which song you wish you could play on an instrument, and I promise you that it'll be a different kettle of fish!

Here's another Monday coming up, which means it's time for another blogpost in my series of Music Challenges. Today the challenge is to find a song that I want to play at my funeral.

It's kind of odd for me, since I probably won't be listening to it myself, being dead and all. But I've chosen a Norwegian song performed by a Danish artist, namely Kim Larsen. It's called "Kringsatt av Fiender", which means "Surrounded by enemies".

It's a very beautiful song in my opinion.



The lyrics:
Kringsatt av fiender,
gå inn i din tid
Under en blodig storm
vi dig til strid
Kanske du spør i angst,
udekket, åpen:
hvad skal jeg kjempe med,
hvad er mit våpen?

Her er dit vern mot vold,
her er dit sverd:
troen på livet vårt,
menneskets verd.
For all vår fremtids skyld,
søk det og dyrk det,
dø om du må - men:
øk det og styrk det!

Translated it's approximately:
Surrounded by enemies,
walk into your time
During a bloody storm
Prepare to fight
Perhaps you ask in fear
uncovered, open:
What shall I fight with,
what is my weapon?

Here is your protection against violence
here is your sword
Believing in life,
and what's human life is worth.
For the sake of our future,
Seek it and make it grow.
Die if you must, but
make it bigger and strengthen it!


There are three more verses, but these are the ones I want sung by my funeral.
Thank you for your time and attention.

Here's my 22nd post in my series of music challenge posts. (Read more about the rules here!)

Today's song is a song that you listen to when you’re sad. I don't really listen to music when I'm sad. When I feel down I usually go to bed and stay under the duvet until I feel better.

But anyway - I need to post something. So here's a classic from Aerosmith: I don't wanna miss a thing.



I really love that song and the way Steve Tyler takes me through this great piece of music. The song was originally performed for the 1998 film Armageddon.

It's Monday again, and we're now two thirds of the way through my series of music challenges. If you want to see what it's all about you can click here.

We've reached week 20, a song that you listen to when you're angry. To be honest, I don't listen to much music when I'm angry. I usually prefer it quiet when I'm really angry. But nonetheless - I can't leave a challenge open like this, so I'll pick something that I picture I would listen to when I'm angry.

Get ready to listen to some 80s music. Here's Eurythmics with "Thorn in my Side" from 1986:
