I want to preface this by mentioning that not all of these songs are actually FROM 2009, but that they’re songs that I played a whole lot, so they get mentions. Without further ado, my 2009 musical trip down memory lane favorite songs that I played constantly, annoying my family, because I’m evil.
Glitter in the Air -- There was a pretty sad part of my year where things just seemed a bit, uh… hopeless. “The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames,” was dorkspirational, what can I say?
Yellow -- Sometimes you just need someone to sing a song to you. This was mine… to me. If you don’t have a song to you, from you, get one. Now.
Voodoo -- Its a belly dance thing. That’s all I’m sayin. Thanks to Durrah for sending me the link
Shake It -- Its just a fun song to dance to in the kitchen, while doing homework & making dinner.
Carolina Liar -- I just liked it, ok?
Her Diamonds -- Great song, until you realize Rob Thomas is pretty much saying, “hey, sorry you’re sad, but I’m clueless so I’m just gonna make a sandwich or something, k?”
I Write Sins Not Tragedies -- Awesome song and weirdly awesome video.
Drops of Jupiter -- If you were paying attention, this was one of those songs that was haunting me for a few months. It was everywhere. Great song, and I think I get the message now.
And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And then you missed me
While you were looking for yourself?
All Through the Night -- 2009 was the year I remembered how much I adore Cyndi Lauper, and more than that, this version of my favorite CL song with Shaggy. F’in awesome.
Carlton Dance -- ANYTIME you need a pick-me-up, just play this. Plus, this version has Will Smith. Drool. (the dance starts at 1:08)
Lal Lal Hoton Pe -- From Moves in Curves, its like the Carlton Dance, only Bollywood.
Back Again (16 frames) -- I just love this band. I want to hug them and pinch their cheeks, thereby rendering me completely out of their demographic, but whatever.
Use Somebody -- No apologies for this one, either. Its a fucking awesome song and KOL… well, wow. I really liked the Paramore version, too.
Blow Away -- I have a tiny crush on Alison and this song is so much fun to sing. I really like the whole Bomb in a Birdcage album.
Paparazzi -- Hannah Montana v.666
And there you have it. 15 songs for 12 months of a year ending with “9.” Rock on.

So far, so good. I played bad guitar rock all day yesterday – Pour some sugar on me!
Mmm very nice choices!
Music galore! I need a frolic smiley!
Ok, first of all, we have very similar likes. Second. That Cyndi Lauper clip made me soooo happy.
