Oh man! This song is COMPLETELY random and I’m not sure how it showed up in my feed but it brought back memories of being an undergraduate with an infant son. A short-lived television series that I watched but can’t remember the name had this song in their opening credits.

Highlights from the soundtrack of my life.
ALMOST Forgotten Tune #60
I loved my house today. My Mom had to take me to my credit union to handle some business. No, I did NOT win the lottery! I was able to hear this gem though. I know that I have shared it before somewhere on this blog, probably years ago, but I really appreciated hearing in even though it’s not summertime!
The Little Mermaid LIVE
I saw on Facebook yesterday that this would be an ABC. The Little Mermaid is iconic to me! I think I saw in for the first time at the movie theater for a friend of mine‘s birthday party. Either way, my friends and I watched it over 1 million times when we were in grade school! We all sang along with the entire movie!
It had been so long since I last saw in because I had a little boy so I only watched little boy movies. When he was small, he would not let me watch The Little Mermaid!
As soon as it was on, I changed the channel to watch it. I was amazed that I still knew all of the words to the movie and to all of the songs! However, I think I prefer the cartoon version to the live version only because I have heard it the way for all of my childhood. I still had to watch the whole thing though!
I can no longer sing along with the movie as if I am Ariel because I no longer have the strength in my vocal cords and can’t use my chest to push the sound out.
I did not realize how much I loved the ending of the movie. In fact, I think I only love it so much because my Dad is gone now. I always called him, “Daddy.”
This scene really got to me and I cried. I was by myself watching it so it really didn’t matter.
Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #5
So, I’m pretty sure that somehow my phone knows that I am posting the random songs that pop up in my YouTube feed. It’s like there’s a race of all of these random songs! This was the first song I saw that I really dug growing up so this became my #5:
This song reminds me of my brother, Dave.
Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #4
I think “Big Brother” may have gotten into my phone because there are tons of random songs in my YouTube feed! I was really happy to hear/see this one so I had to share even though I have shared this song previously on my blog:
November 2019 Faves
Please forgive my oversight! With Sean turning 18 this past weekend, I was a little bit discombobulated and thus, forgot to post my faves. Better late than never, I suppose! Sean and I ended up going to eat at Red Robin’s in Westland on Warren Road. The parking spot we ended up parking in was an extra large disabled one, man! Shout out to you and your accessible ways, Red Robin Westland!!! I will never forget the spot where I could comfortably be loaded into and out of my wheelchair.
I think this post will serve as a reminder for our birthday dinner and my boy’s 18th birthday. As Sean drove, he used his phone to navigate and I used mine for tunes. Well, I always HAVE TO start off the music with my jam! Saturday was no different:
It always seems to get a chuckle out of Sean. I recently thought about this album and put it on my Apple Music playlist. Sean remembers these songs from his youth. I played the CD on loop in my car for the entire summer I think. Maybe even longer.
Prince has been on my mind lately and I recently read Mayte Garcia’s Book about her time with Prince. She also has MS. I thought of his epic halftime show years ago and asked Sean if he had ever seen it. Unfortunately, he has NOT! I told him to watch it and witness Prince willing the heavens to open and it to rain!
Super Bowl footage in case Sean doesn’t search it out himself:
Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #3
And then there is this gem! I saw it in my YouTube feed and shared it on Facebook and I tagged all four of my brothers. That definitely was a jam in my house growing up!
Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #2
I shared this song yesterday on Facebook and I had pretty much forgotten about the song until it showed up in my YouTube feed. I think I may have been seven or eight and I remember seeing along with this song whenever I saw it on MTV!
Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #1
This song popped up in my YouTube feed probably almost a week ago now and I can’t get it out of my head. A few others showed up since then and I have shared them on Facebook. I think I want to chronicle these songs here on my blog because in my youth, I really dug them!
ALMOST Forgotten Tune #59
I woke up this morning and called my Mom. As I waited for assistance to get out, I checked my Twitter feed and saw a tweet from someone I just recently followed. It said, in part, “Grey sky morning.” OF COURSE I thought of this song and of better, more able-bodied days. They opened for up Third Eye Blind the summer after my senior year.
Also, I have to find out how I can watch this show in this video. Sean got me out of bed.
