I also like "Speedway of Nazareth" by Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits fame). This song chugs along at mellow pace, the singer describing his race career, crashing or messing up or losing at each race course along the way. And finally, at the Speedway of Nazareth, he pulls ahead and wins. The singing stops and Knopfler begins to play guitar in his unique way, and the song surges forward and lifts, and makes you think of the Christian or individual who struggles but then, there, victory. "Mmmm Bop" is one of my favorites and goes well followed by some vintage Jackson Five ("ABC") “Rock Lobster” by the B52’s is good, and their tune “Private Idaho” (although the lyrics are not all that perky)

Really and truly. If anyone can listen to it and NOT feel more upbeat, he/she must be mostly dead all day.

Tracey – “Lance the Turtle” -That’s where it’s from! My kids were singing it recently, and I couldn’t remember where I’d heard it. No wonder, it was a newer Veggie Tales that we hadn’t seen a hundred times yet. Thanks for the reminder!

I think DragonLady hit the nail on the head. Music usually reminds us of something, and that’s one of the reasons we love it.

For extra energy there is always Skillet and Thousand Foot Krutch. And of course Superchick is always fun along with Reliant K. Almost anything by the Newsboys, but the Breakfast Song in particular.

Ah, those carefree days. Also, Love Shack - B-52's. That one always reminds me of a warm sunny day in my hometown cruising with my best friend Brenda. Oh, and Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston because every time I hear it, I remember 11th grade FBLA award ceremony. Brenda and I had provided the entertainment playing guitar, and Mrs Lynch wanted an encore. I suggested Greatest Love of All because I knew we both knew how to play and then added that Deadria should sing it. LOL! If looks could kill, Deadria would have struck me down right then and there. :-) Keep Your Hands to Yourself – Georgia Sattelites because my friends Jennifer & Lynn and I used to lip sync it at the local pool hall back in high school.

The songs are great and the dances bring back high school memories (the ones that are worth remembering!!) Totally agree with the Veggie Tales songs...I have my kids sing them to me, especially 'Lance the Turtle'. Thanks for the fun topic!! p.s. Lashawn, did you make it to the Hanson concert in Las Vegas? <em>Nope!
