Top 5 Songs To Daydream To...

I CANNOT CONCENTRATE TODAY. I have these days about once a week (normally on Fridays), where I am fully aware of the billion things I have to do at work but for some reason I just can't bring myself to do any of them them. I blame this on having a lot of ADHD in my family as well as the invention of Facebook, blogs and YouTube. I know I'll regret it on Monday when it all catches up with me but for now it just feels like creating Spotify playlists or watching interviews with Tom Brady on YouTube (YUM) is  a much better way to spend my time . It baffles me how anyone managed to procrastinate before we had computers... Anyway, instead of doing something useful for the past hour I made a list: Top 5 Records to daydream to and here they are.

(P.S. I'm trying a new thing - I've added the spotify playlist of all my Top 5 songs at the bottom of the post, so have a click and a listen!)

5. The Champs - Tequila
I listen to this and I am immediately at the house party in Breakfast at Tiffany's. I'm not sure why because this isn't even the song playing in that scene! BUT nevertheless that's where I am. I always say I was born in the wrong time because I should have been at parties like those, wearing amazing outfits and smoking cigarettes on long cigarette holders with white gloves on. If it was 1965 now that's where I'd be and it would be FABULOUS.

4. Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
Just to explain - I'm a bit of skitzo when it comes to my daydreams. Moving out of 1965 glamour, during this song I'm in 1980, Lycra-clad, cock-rocking it out with that ridiculous guitar solo. It makes my brain ache listening to it.


3. Kim Wilde - Kids in America
I chose this because it's a song from the soundtrack to Clueless (yeah another social faux pas maybe but whatevs). I bloody love that film, and this song makes me want to wear knee high socks and mini skirts and drive around in a convertible jeep..."Like, Ew! Whatever!" The version on the soundtrack is by The Muffs but I like the original better ;)

2. Miranda Lambert - Gunpowder & Lead
Deep down under the surface of Grace (let's be honest, it's not that deep...) is a serious country music lover... I know I'm living in completely the wrong country for this to be socially acceptable but I don't care! And on that note is my number 3. I love Miranda (and her husband Blake - yummy) and I get all feisty and, honestly, a bit violent after listening to this. Oh to live in a land where shooting your ex-boyfriend because he was a dick is the norm...


1. Jim Jamison - I'm Always Here
YAH this is the theme tune to Baywatch! It's becoming a sort of club anthem in my ever so classy hometown of Newbury and in the club, we do exactly what I do in my head when I listen to this. WE RUN!
