I recently bought a Dolly Parton CD and have been playing that song non-stop. Really puts me in a good mood.

Talking Heads - "Once in a Lifetime"

2. Dolly will always put me in a good mood!
I guess I went the craziest over some Prince songs back then, probably something from Under The Cherry Moon, the best one was Mountains. As a teen I didn't know that though, something a little cornier was my favorite then probably.

This is Mountains, fabulous song- http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/jeIjVwnA77M/ (<- sketchy link k! :p )

4. "Heat Of The Moment" by Asia.
I really got into it after my first real girlfriend broke up with me. It became kind of a revenge fantasy.

"...and when your looks are gone
And you're alone,
How many nights you'll sit
Beside the phone?
What were the things you
Wanted for yourself?
Teenage ambitions
You'll remember well..."

5. I never pay attention to the words in song.. just the melody and how it makes me feel.
