A few days ago, I did a blog post about the whole ’30 Day Song Challenge’ that’s plagueing FaceBook at the moment. But, i put my own little twist on it and instead of crunching up everyone’s news feeds with songs and not being able to give a full description of why I chose the song etc, I decided to put it in blog form 
So here’s part 2:
Song 11: A Song From Your Favourite Band
For anyone who reads this blog and knows me in person will know that my favourite band is, and probably always will be Green Day. So here’s one of my favourite songs by them, a song that I relate to and just has an incredibly easy but effective riff. To me, this song just crams the whole in-love-with-someone-but-they-don’t-know-and-it’s-all-you-think-about into 3 and a half minutes. Such an awesome tune that not a lot of people know, and I hope you all enjoy the awesomeness.
Song 12: A Song From A Band You Hate
I find nothing worse than listening to this type of music. I just hate it. I don’t mind a little bit of screamo, Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet For My Valentine are about as far as I go, but this is just unbearable. I think I’d rather listen to Justin Beiber or Rebecca Black than listen to this dross.
Song 13: A Song That Is A Guilty Pleasure
I love Glee. It is a guilty pleasure of mine. Others slam Glee and say it’s stupid, the singing is unbearable, it’s cheesy yadda yadda yadda and in all honesty, I love it. It’s a feel-good programme and nothing’s better than when you’re having a rough day, and you turn on Glee and just get all happy from the pure cheese and mind-numbing storylines. I have to physically restrain myself from shouting ‘LIVIN’ IN A LONELY WORLD’ when someone sings ‘Just a small town girl…” It’s such a feel-good track, how can anyone not love this song?
Song 14: A Song That No One Would Expect You To Love
I guess it might seem a tad too R&B/Hip-Hop-ish for my liking, but I actually love this song. It was one of the songs that I was kinda brought up on, many times did I see my Dad on a Sunday and he would blast this out and I’d sing along quite happily to the chorus, not knowing what the song was even about. Aah, happy times
Song 15: A Song That Describes You
This song has so many poignant lyrics and I can’t help but think THAT’S ME, THAT’S MEEEEE! I was going to put Burnout by Green Day, but decided it was a little GD overkill. So here’s I’m Gay by one of my favourite bands, Bowling For Soup. This song is just so fucking happy with the chorus: “Don’t hate us coz we’re happy/Don’t hate us coz we’re beautiful/Don’t hate us if we make you smile or if we go the extra mile/To make someone feel betteron a really shitty day/And if you’re hearing what I’m saying then I want to hear you say, “I’m gay!” It’s such a chirpy and jubilant song and makes you realize:
It’s perfectly fine to be a happy individual.
Song 16: A Song You Used To Love But Now Hate
I used to absolutely in love with this song. When I first heard this, I thought “aww it’s such a cute song, LOVE!” Now I kinda hate this song. It’s just played on the radio over and over and I just think “SHUTUP WE GET THE IDEA! SHE’S BEAUTIFUL AND HAS LIPS YOU WANNA KISS ALL DAY…WHO CARES?!” I downloaded his album, and every song is exactly the same. Boy loves girl so much he would die for her and it’s all lovey-dovey and just pure nonsense. His girlfriend must be so fed up of him keep singing songs about her. I know I would.
Song 17: A Song You Hear Often On The Radio
I used to kinda like this song, until the radio just overplayed it. I hear it all the fucking time and now it’s whiny and just makes me wanna stamp on the radio. Considering when I’m at work, the radio is on all day, at the end of the day I just feel like I’ve heard the song a million times during that day. It just winds me up now.
Song 18: A Song You Wish You Heard On The Radio
It’s kinda sad that I wasn’t alive in the 70′s coz then I could live in the heyday of the English punk era. If the radio station at work played this, I would be beyond ecstatic. Like, wow. And what would make it even more great is if they played it on the day of the Royal Wedding. Maybe I should hijack their studios and play it on repeat on the 29th April…
Song 19: A Song From Your Favourite Album
The first song on my favourite album of all-time, Green Day’s Dookie. This lyric just sums me up in21 words: “I declare I don’t care no more/I’m burning up and out and growing bored in my smoked out boring room” Such an amazing song that gets me in a good kinda angry/excited/happy mood.
Song 20: A Song That You Listen To When You’re Angry
This song is just pure anger and I love it to pieces. When it comes on my iPod, I’m just like FUCK YEAHHHH! Hayley Williams has a brilliant voice, and the lyrics just relate to me so much when I think about friends that I’ve lost and/or losing, and family that I’ve alienated myself from: Well you treat me just like another stranger/Well it’s nice to meet you, sir/I guess I’ll go/I best be on my way out/Ignorance is your new best friend.
