"I've had..time of my life.."

I'm listening to Dirty Dancing's soundtrack right now.

Watched the movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago (don't know why I never got around watching it before), when I visited Leicester and stayed with Peah.

Everytime they played a song in the movie, I went like "Ouh! I know this song!!" and then sang along, much to everyone's disbelief. (I'm sure they thought : WHAT DECADE is this crazy woman from??)

What can I say, I am more at home with songs from my mom's era. Should've been born in the fifties/sixties. I would've been SUCH a cool person back then! However, living in the current time and place, with my taste, I am doomed to be a geek and totally, totally uncool (by virtue of the fact that I can't connect with my peers, but can sing along with their parents).*sigh* Oh well. You people just DON'T KNOW how to appreciate me *pbbtthh*.

Now I have all the songs from the Dirty Dancing movie, thanks to Peah who delivered them to me and to Sid who obligingly downloaded them for me!! Remind me to belanja you fantastic people later!

If you'd excuse me, I'm gonna put on my 60s retro sunglasses and sing some golden oldies. ALOUD.

old songs are still good.

an ol'timer i know said the 60's - 70's is the only time people were creative with songs. it was a time of really original melody and lyric.

dia kata la.

creativity..well..creativity comes in many forms, and songmakers these days are creative in their own way.

One thing I know about oldies though, that they're more fun to be sung especially in a group (or karaoke sessions, they're GREAT!).

Don't need that wide a vocal range either, which makes it great for people like me (if I try to pull a high note like Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera, terus jadik bisu.Takde bunyi keluar)
