I have a lot of mixes on my dinosaur iPod, known as the iPod Classic. Still in daily use, with a battery change to boot, I have spent a lot of hours burning CDs (yes, kids, that’s what we did back then) and creating playlists.
Recently I was listening to my Classy Dance mix. Cause I was home alone with toddler one afternoon and it was time to get down! So… on went Classy Dance, with its 124 songs and more than 8 hours of goodness… yeah… some of that stuff ain’t that classy!
Here’s why:
Overrun by Britney: No less than 10 Britney Spears songs! Look, I still love her, but I’m not sure she’s in the classy category anymore.
We like to Party: And I think the Vengaboys did. Like I did. And so did everyone who listened to it on the dance floor. And it was great times. But… how much class does this song have?
Ylvis’s The Fox: With its trademark yapping, this one went viral for a while. And yes, I basically hired my wedding band because they could play this song live, which is how classy my wedding was I guess!
Ridin’ Dirty: They see me rolling… they hatin’… it’s still a popular one, but is it classy…? Jury is out!
Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss by Chris Brown: Just listening to this song makes me think of great times… not necessarily classy ones though.
The Thong Song: Which is not a song about Aussie flip flops, but indeed about that classic piece of underwear that some may dub classy, and others not.
But you know what? Classy Dance takes me back to a time when life was easy and good. Back to a time where I thought I was classy, and even then, wasn’t. Go on.. make fun of me! Because at least I had the sense to make another playlist called ‘Daggy Dance’ which includes classics such as BoyTown’s Special time of the month, the Birdie Dance, Max don’t have sex with your ex, Mr G’s Naughty Girl, and many many more. An extra 8 hours more, in fact. But that’s for another time.
