Day 01 → your favourite song

[fightingthecage]

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.

*half hour later*

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.

AIR GUITARS.

Where is this thirty days of Meme thing? Sounds suspiciously like blogging to me.

I have no idea where it came from but a bunch of people on my flist are doing it so I just copied it from there. I have no idea what blogging is, if it's different to what we do here on LJ, but is it a bad thing?

Anyway, this is the meme.

Blogging, journalling, keeping an lj, posting new content every day. I was being a smart ass. ;) I've typically had to resort to the Five Things Make A Post route. I hate being that person that blogs about doing my laundry, or how adorable my cats are. (Which they are, but I'm sure you don't need to hear it.)

That is an impressive list. I wish you luck!

Lord, if I had to think of five things to make a post worthwhile, I don't think I'd ever write one again. I don't post about doing my laundry though, I haven't stooped that low yet.
