I am going to do the thirty days of meme thing because I feel only able to communicate in meme form at the moment - which is better than not at all, isn't it? Yes? Or maybe not, I don't know.
I feel all over the place about a lot of things and have no words to write them down. In better news, I have started reading my flist again and am reminded all over again why I love LJ, and you lot.
Anyway, day 1. Why does it have to start with an actually
impossible ask? My favourite song? I can't even begin to choose one but picking a top five or similar seems like cheating. So I'ma think about this one for a bit.

No closer. I have looked at my '25 most played' on itunes and that's not much help either as I recently reinstalled it so the numbers aren't right. It does tell me that 21 out of the 25 played most are AC/DC tracks (big surprise there) so I will have to choose a song by them for no other reason than I listen to them 95% of the time.
Oh God, this is impossible. I suppose this meme is already showing that too much choice can be a bad thing. Also, that I am indecisive. And have too much music.
OK, we're going to go with...argh. OK. Um. We'll go with
Whole Lotta Rosie. It's not my favourite song of all time and probably not even my favourite AC/DC track. But it embodies everything I love about rock music.
It's about a fan that Bon Scott shagged one time when they were on tour. She was big and heavy and wouldn't let him out of her room until she'd had her fill - which, by all accounts, took a while. For years, back in the day, it was voted the #1 hard rock/metal song ever written. And it's
fun. The lyrics are typical of the band and it's so tongue in cheek, it's brilliant.
And, even by Angus's standards, the guitar fucking
wails. You can't do anything but let it all hang out when you listen to this properly - crank it up, get the air guitars out and go for it.
There. Day 1. Impossible.
