The Pink Shoe Diaries

and now, a survey for you all since i am too hungover to post anything original

1. Your favorite song with the name of a city in the title or text.
*Midnight Train to Georgia* - Gladys Knight

2. A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life.
*Ghost* - Indigo Girls. that song was used for every break-up I had in high school!

3. Ever bought an entire album just for one song and wound up disliking everything but that song? Gimme that song.
In a moment of stupidity i bought the Stepmom soundtrack for the simple precense of Marvin Gaye and Tami Tyrell's version of "Ain't No Mountain" which i realize, in hindsight, I could have gotten from a Marvin CD that would have turned out, I am sure, to be a more worthwhile purchase.

4. A great song in a language other than English.
*Sympatique* - Pink Martini ("je ne vuex pas travailler/ je ne veux pas dejeuner/ je veux seulement l'oublier. et puis, je fume:)

*I Want You (She's So Heavy)* on the Beatle's Abbey Road

Seal is pretty boot, but i love all of his songs.

7. Your favorite song that has expletives in it that's not by Liz Phair.
