Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!
This past Friday and Saturday I was a little busy running the So Cal Ragnar Relay (which I will recap soon) but in honor of my Dirrty Dozen team, I’m featuring 2 songs today – one for each “r” in our team name. These two songs were the most often heard songs on the radio while we were in our van. It’s not that I love (or even like these songs) but I know that they will now remind me of a most fabulous time with the ladies of Van 2 of the Dirrty Dozen team. Thanks Jamie, Kat, Carrie, Jill and Debbie!
Hope you enjoy:
Song 1: “Happy” by Pharrell Williams
Personally, I can’t stand this song and I think we must have heard it about 8,000 times. Being new to LA this video is fun because I recognize some of the areas.
Song 2: “Talk Dirty To Me” by Jason Derulo
First, I have no idea who Jason Derulo even is (except for the fact that he’s dating former American Idol contestant Jordin Sparks) so that makes me feel old. Second, am I the only one who recognizes the sample of “No Diggity” by Blackstreet in this song (that we also heard 3 million times over a 36 hour period)?

What song is really irritating you right now?
I still love that “Happy” came on my playlist right when I hit the ‘one mile to go’ marker on my last leg. It was perfect.
I hear the “No Diggity” in the song too – that’s cuz I’m old too 🙂
Love this – – I’m still coming down from the weekend. Sad that it’s over.
I think your 2nd video link isn’t linking to the right song, you might want to check it out.
Good song choices! I can’t wait to read your recap!
Thanks Carrie! I changed the 2nd video. It seems I was so happy that I played the “Happy” video twice.
Thanks Kris! Hopefully I get the recap done tonight.
I’m so old I don’t even get the No Diggity reference 🙂
It makes me happy that from now on that will be the song that will remind me of our experience. I never thought I would be so excited about it all (more I thought of Ragnar as something to survive).
Agreed (about the experience not about the age thing). The more I think about Ragnar, the more I like it in comparison to general races.
I hear the No Diggity in it! Love that these were in your van….NEXT ragnar I”ll bring an extra auxiliary cord for the other van. I played DJ the whole time. Gillian and I sang at the top of our lungs….and the most played song was “Show Me’ by Kid Ink and Chris Brown tagline #pantiestotheside 🙂
I’m going to admit that I don’t know “Show Me”. #old
