If you know me well enough, you know my car stereo is always cranked up to 10. If I’m staring into the distance, a song’s playing. If I have my headphones, rhythm is beating about my ear drums. Did you catch me tapping out a beat on the Harkness table? You can bet I’ve got something stuck in my head like glue. Curious? Below are my 5 top songs of the week. Email me your thoughts at stackp23@ensworth.com.
1. Big Fat Wasp – King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard
Note: Big Fat Wasp is speeding through downtown Chicago at 4AM.
2. He’s The Greatest Dancer – Sister Sledge
Note: Is there a better dance song? No.
3. When You Wake Up Tomorrow – Candi Staton
Note: Joy personified.
Don’t listen to the Apple Music version. Go to YouTube.
4. Carmen, Act 1: “L'amour est un oiseau rebelle” (Habanera) – Maria Callas, Bizet
Note: Maria Callas is life if a Ferrari had a voice.
5. Katie Cruel – Karen Dalton
Note: Southern female spite at its finest.
Bonus: Paprika – Japanese Breakfast
Note: Paprika is like if a foggy Saturday morning were a song.
