It's Monday, go figure. On the bright side, I just sold some of my atrocious 90's music on e-bay! It may not have raked in the serious dough, but at least I'm up $1.99 and down some worthless CDs. w00t!

And before you cast judgment on my terrible music selecting abilities, please realize that I was heavily influenced by others as a child and had the strange ability to pick out one-hit wonders or in this case, no-hit wonders. What talent, I tell you.

In honor of Valentine's Day, I bring you one of the only songs (and movies) that still gives me chills. I'm not saying I'd play it at wedding-esque function, but I'll mope over in solitude and maybe even wipe away a tear or two if I'm in that particular sort of mood.

On with it already, I bring you...Whitney Houston - I will always love you. Happy Valentine's Day from Whitney, me, and Kev to you!

In honor of the start of my 12 week Vox Fitness Challenge, I bring you this sexy 90's hit.
Don't thank me, thank Right Said Fred.

Maybe as a motivator to look fabulous, I'll promise to perform my own 'I'm Too Sexy' version of this video at the end of my 12 week challenge. Or I could spare you all and nix that idea all together. :)

Slippin' it in at the 11th hour, here's your 90's Music Monday. Enjoy!

So over the holidays, I managed to watch VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's. Not only did it give me at least 99 more excellent post ideas but it also brought to light some songs that I missed out on during my childhood. For example, The Humpty Dance a la Digital Underground. I don't know how and I don't know why, but I hadn't really heard this song until it popped up as #65 on the countdown.

However, since it's debut on the countdown, I have come across this song not once, but TWICE. It felt like enough of a sign from Mr. Humpty himself, so I present to you on my first 90's Music Monday of 2008: The Humpty Dance.

ps. Don't mind the intro of this vid where it says '1989'. In fact, completely ignore it. It was on the VH1 90's countdown, so it's officially a 90's song. Take it up with VH1 if you have issues. kthxbai!

Slipping in during the eleventh hour, Lou Bega pulls this one out of nowhere in 1999. I know it's a slightly annoying song, but it was the only one I could find to potentially commemorate my past weekend of fantastic dancing. Granted there was no mambo (horizontal or otherwise), but I don't know any cheesy 90's songs that talk about Salsa, Merengue, or Bachata. Oh well, feel free to enjoy or poke sharp pencils in your ears.

I think Merril Bainbridge's salty, little hit was released a few years earlier as a single, but didn't appear on an album until 1996. Either way, it's still a 90's hit.

Today's 90's Music Monday is proudly sponsored by the shuffle setting on my iPod. If you don't like it, blame my iPod. Hopefully, you'll like this one better than last week's catastrophe!

Oh Wilson Phillips, I can't believe how I forgot about your little 90's hit until now. Oops. Enjoy!

1998 was a productive year.

I went to Canada.

Dated my first boyfriend.

Received my first kiss.

And later discovered that my first boyfriend, who I met while on my trip to Canada and gave me my first kiss, was gay.

But Fastball also put out this little number, so the year wasn't a total loss!

mp3eme Vox: Post a track from your collection that references Gods, Devils, Heaven/Hell/Purgatory, Blasphemy, etc...

So what if I already had this in my collection for 90's Music Monday...of this week? Oops? Whatevs. It fits the category! And raises a very good question...

What if god were one of us? Munch that over awhile.
