SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF...

Mom
1. "The Dance" - Garth Brooks
This is one of my mom's favorite songs. She has a Garth Brooks cd in her car and whenever I put it in, we have to listen to this one. It is a beautiful song that, I think, has a lot of meaning behind it.


2. "See You Again" - Miley Cyrus
I will never forget the morning we were in the car, driving to the doctors when this song came on. Mom turned it up super loud and said, "It's my girl, MILEY!" and started singing along. This was the first time I had heard the song all the way through and I was shocked that my mother knew the words.


Dad
1. "Shameless" - Garth Brooks
When we would go on road trips, I always remember my dad singing this song. It is one of my favorite Garth Brooks songs now.


2. "Hotel California" - The Eagles
This was another "must" in the car. And one of the best Eagles songs, behind "New York Minute."


3. Any Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Cade
1. "Battle Flag" - Lo Fidelity Allstars
This song is not one that I am not a very big fan of, but I enjoy listening to my brother dance/sing along to it.

2. "Tik Tok" - Ke$ha
Another great song to put on and listen to Cade sing. Others include: "Since You've Been Gone," "Party in the USA," and Celine Dion.


Aunt Ra
1. "I Have Nothing" - Whitney Houston
This is my all-time favorite song to sing/yell in the car. I crank this song up and just belt it out. My aunt is one that won't just sit there and listen to you make a fool of yourself, she'll join in (but then you feel bad because you can't sing, but she can). Sometimes though I forget the fact that she's actually carrying a tune while I now sound like a wounded dog. :) Anyways, I will never forget the time we were driving home from work during the summer and I put this song on. She was just singing along and then she started throwing in her own words. At one point, I was crying because I was laughing so hard.


Katie
1. "Listen" - Beyonce
It was a very long time ago that I discovered that most Beyonce songs were awesome; this one in particular. I memorized this song, put it on a cd, and sang it super loud to Katie who laughed, although I'm sure she was cursing me in her head the whole time.


2. "Burn" - Usher
Oh, too many things with this song to write about.


Levi

1. "Beauty and the Beast" - Peabo Bryson and Celine Dion
First off, I think it's pretty funny that there is a song that reminds me of my dog. :) But this song really does make me think of Levi because my mom calls him Peabo. He gets so excited when she says this in her high-pitched tone because he knows he's about to get some lovin'.

Catie
1. "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" - Whitney Houston
One of the best songs to sing in the car, hands down. Every time me and Catie are in the car, we have to listen to the song and belt it out.


2. "Don't Stop Believin'" - Journey
We have dance moves to this song! Not the whole thing, but for some of the chorus.

Sara
1. "Livin' On a Prayer" - Bon Jovi
You should really hear her sing this song. It is HILARIOUS. We used to listen to this working in Brusters when no one was there. Good times.


2. "Decode" - Paramore
Another great song to hear Sara sing.

3. All of the Disney movie songs also remind me of Sara because she breaks into song randomly. My favorite: "Circle of Life"

Kayla
1. "Man in the Mirror" - Michael Jackson
I had a mix cd in my car recently with this song on it. When the song came on, Kayla immediately knew what it was (while Sara was in the back groaning because she didn't want to listen to Michael Jackson...boo).

2. "At This Moment" - Michael Buble
This was the first song I heard from Mr. Buble and Kayla was the one that introduced us, which I am very happy about now. She thought this was a song of his that I would like because it was a semi-beltish (not a word, but oh well) song. She was very right.

3. "Believe" - John Mayer
One of the firsts from John Mayer that I listened to and loved, again all thanks to Kayla. :)



I hope you enjoy all of our silly dances and trust me, there are more of these to come :)

PS: I thought I'd just throw this video in there since we also made it when we were bored last year.
