❌Monthly Song Challenge: Archived🎵

I unironically love this song.
I'd have no choice but to judge you if you loved it ironically 😜
Day 5: A song with a sample in it.

Before there was EDM, there was Techno. This is Apotheosis, a pair of Belgium producers who had a couple hits in the early 90s. They sampled one of the original recordings of Carl Orff's famous Carmina Burana from 1935, and got sued by Orff's family for it.

I accidentally ended up dating a stripper back after college. Long story. But she introduced me to this song, and it is still in my playlist. So this is for Heather, who danced as Ophelia, because I am a sucker for a good Shakespeare reference. Among other things.

"O Fortuna," Apotheosis.

I'm in love 😍 I didn't know I needed a danceable O Fortuna but I really did 🥰
 
Day 6: A Song Your Family Played Around the House


Stevie Wonder - For Once In My Life

not sure it was played around the house, per se, but it must have been played a lot as, apparently, as a child i could sing every word. It was a time when Motown ruled in my growing world and this one just stuck. Still waiting for the lyrics to come true
 
Day 6: A Song Your Family Played Around the House

I grew up in a very musical home. We all had music lessons, played instruments, and I had singing lessons... Les Mis and Phantom were on all the time as I grew up. I still listen to them both on a regular basis. This is one of my favorites.

 

Day 6
Bonnie Tyler - It's A Heartache

I have many not so fond memories of being ill off school and trying to recuperate in my room while contending with my partially deaf mother blasting her favourite songs while cleaning up downstairs. The stereo was directly below my room too so the walls vibrated with the noise. This one was my least favourite and so fairly appropriate for today's prompt.
We didn't really have "family" songs as my parents have very different musical tastes. For example, my dad has some 😂
