Barracuda!!

I had time to go into the library without the kids the other day (I left them tied to chairs at home. Kidding! They were at home with their dad.) and man - that was awesome! I decided to go through the cd's (yes, I still think it's 1996) since I can't do that with kids in tow; with them I'm weighed down by the 29 books & 6 DVDs we've picked out, not to mention holding at least one of them, and holding the other one's hand. And frankly, Bea tries to pick out the worst music possible & gets mad when I don't want to check it out (Roxette's Greatest Hits? No. Hell No. And yes, she's picked that out. Twice). So I was gleefully flicking through the cases, finding all sorts of good stuff to listen to in the car. And then, lo & behold, I found this:

OH. MY. GOD. Do you have any idea how much I LOVE this album?!? Enough to FREAK THE GEEK OUT when I found it! I literally said "HOT DOG!" out loud - the librarian near me totally chuckled at that - because I knew that I was going to check it out, race to the car, throw the cd in, and blast Track 1 as loud as I could. What track is that, you ask? BARRACUDA. More commonly known as the MOST AWESOME SONG IN THE WORLD. No kidding. For a really long, long time, one of my 3 wishes for a genie was going to be to have this song cue up any time I entered a room. Not sure why I'm freaking out? Here, have a listen:

See?!? It's SO FUCKING KICK ASS. Ann & Nancy Wilson are pretty much the best. EVER. If you don't get it, just listen to this song over & over & pretty soon you'll get it. Rock on, duders!!

  3. Ok I have to admit, I've never really understood why people were such fans of Heart. Just not my thing I guess. HOWEVER! Before you hate me, I have to agree that this particular song? YES, totally kicks ass!!! Molly, I think it's your theme song a la Ally McBeal! Which makes you a TOTAL BADASS.
