Sometimes nerdiness...

...comes naturally. Like me, for example. I don't mean to be so nerdy, I just am. I recently saw an article in Nylon Magazine (Just in case you might think that makes me cool, I don't read Nylon Magazine regularly. In fact, I was googling Lisa Loeb's song "Stay" and ran into the article. See, still very nerdy.) Anyway, Nylon Magazine published The Top 10 Nerdiest Songs of All Time in their June 2008 issue. That got me thinking: what are the Top 10 Nerdiest Songs in my Itunes?

Get ready for nerdy chills:

1. Owner of a Lonely Heart - Yes - If you saw the movie "The Break-Up" you know why this song is nerdy. (And also why this song is hilarious.)

2. Who Says You Can't Go Home - Bon Jovi - This song is so cheesy it makes my stomach hurt.

3. That's How I Beat Shaq - Aaron Carter - Mr. Carter should be ashamed of himself. I guarantee he's not but he really should be.

4. Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town - Rockapella - Why? (And yes, Rockapella is that a capella group from Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego? I saw them sing in Utah once. They autographed their album cover for me. I probably should have kept that to myself.)

5. She Likes Me For Me - Blessed Union of Souls - This song is every nerd's dream: to find someone who likes him/her for him/herself.

6. This Time Around - Hanson - At least it's not Mm Bop (spelling?).

7. Perfect Day - Hoku - I sang this in a singing group once. We did fan kicks. Then this kid tried to lift me but I'm pretty sure I weighed a good 20 pounds more than him.

8. All My Life - K-Ci & JoJo - I think this song was written on the spot. K-Ci started singing and JoJo would finish his sentences.

9. I'm Free - Kenny Loggins - Footloose and fancy free.

10. Wish For You - LFO (Light Funky Ones) - "I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch." I never wore Abercrombie and Fitch but I sure wished I did when this song came out.

I know what you are thinking. Those aren't only nerdy, they are just plain bad. I wish I could say that they just magically appeared in my itunes music library. Unfortunately, I can't. I know why I own each and every song and will admit that many of them may have come from "Now That's What I Call Music" CD's. Ugh...I think they are up to Now That's What I call Music 497. I swear those CD's were cool once upon a time, weren't they? No? Oh, ok, I was and still am a nerd.

Love,
