A few weeks ago I just needed to listen to that song. I turned my car stereo up to 11 and rocked out to it so hard.

Sometimes you just need it. Totally!
Although it can be a bit hard to shake...
Even though I posted it... I hesitated to listen.
Now it will be in my head all day long!
Great song to rock out to at 11 though...

Day 18: A song for a celebration

This was already a tough choice but then @lavendersilk had such a good interpretation of the prompt:

This is a song about cunnilingus . That's celebratory, right? Absolutely!

I did start reconsidering again

Ultimately, I've decided to stick to my guns because this song is itself a celebration. It's Kesha's first single on her own label after everything that she's been through, it seems like a good fit. And I'm simply obsessed with the polka vibes.

Day 18: A song for a celebration

What’s better to celebrate that a birthday?

In our home as we raised our kids, we almost never sang the generic “Happy Birthday to You”. For one thing, it’s boring. For another it’s to prone to diverging into “you look like a monkey and you smell like one too”. No offense intended @SalaciousMonkey22

No, we always sing the chorus to John McCutcheon’s ‘Cut the Cake’. It’s a lot more upbeat and less likely to turn into a personal insult.

I smell and look delightful. No offense taken.

Americans don’t get to see this, what’s the song?

I almost went a couple ways on this one, ultimately landing on a song that was a constant at white people weddings from 2011-2013 or so.

Another obvious choice... but such a great song to dance to.

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

This started popping up in the live sets, usually near the end and it was always loud and joyous - "music will provide the light you cannot resist" wide words, indeed.

I can listen to this all year long and it never fails to put a smile on my face

Day 18: A song for a celebration

I was Rez born, so technically I was a snotty nose Rez kid as a baby. Not First Nation, but the sentiment remains. I have spent some time on a few reservations over my years, and seeing this level of positivity come out of what you see there is a cause for celebration in and of itself. SNRK are a pair of cousins out of the Haisla Nation in BC. They are proud of their heritage and spit with a wicked sense of humor and flow.

A couple of points of translation: "neechie" is a shortened form of an Ojibwe word "niijikiwenh," meaning "friend, and is used by a lot of tribes now. "Minay" technically means "brother," but it goes beyond that to closer to "all of my family everywhere." "Eulachon grease" is the oil extracted from Eulachon, an important fish to all the Pacific tribes from Alaska to California. Finally, "moos-moo-geethl" is a Heiltsuk word for "queen" or "boss."

"We them boujee natives -- new cedar, new sweetgrass, new sage."

"Boujee Natives," Snotty Nose Rez Kids

Finally, for @morelikeasong: waniseeka, Princess!

I love that they named this song after how a member of the band lights up when he gets a new car. It feels to me like a song celebrating life.

First time I ever heard this song, and first time I ever saw a flash mob.

Day 19: A song for a hot summer day

Perfect dedication! I suppose, based on @lavendersilk 's interpretation, this song qualifies for Day 18 as well

This always reminds me of summer.
