Imagine being worried about sheltering your kids from a brilliant pop song like this?

She shouldn't be beating her peers. Violence is never the answer. Violence is never okay.

A valid option for the "you can only listen to one song for the rest of your life" hypothetical. Sweet, uplifting, euphoric.

Many years ago, there was a "let's do lunch" attached to Vin's sign-off. Not sure when he ditched that, but I think it elevated his schtick.

Belts are cool, but kinda hard to wear with assless chaps and kinda uncomfortable when you're sitting for hours in a swiveling chair on the set of The Voice and the buckle is digging into your rolls. Rumor has it both Britney and Christina wore replicas of Madonna's famous "boy toy" belt for a scandalous performance at the MTV Video Music Awards but there's no definitive proof of Christina actually partaking in this performance. Belts.

Thankful to have purchased a copy on iTunes some years back. That said, I've noticed certain songs in my collection have disappeared from my digital library over the years. It appears she her album is no longer available on the iTunes Store. [AOLvoice]Goodbye.[/AOLvoice] Can't believe she's still in that medically induced coma. Heartbreaking.

Oh, we burned our bras And we burned our dinners And we burned our candles at both ends I guffawed and then I cried.

Wow! I fully expected top 20 for "Mind Over Matter." It's conceivably a hit in the hands of a different artist/under slightly different circumstances.

He came ready to name a specific book and hunt for a passage he definitely hasn't read, but that's more of an effort than your average Christian would make, so please don't make fun of this very devout man!

I'll have votes for you before I fall asleep tonight.

I've always kinda loved it. As the world descends into chaos, its lack of nuance might be eye-roll inducing, but in a post-9/11 world, this uplifting earworm felt genuinely healing? Simpler times. Simpler minds.

Prepare for trouble and make it double! Respect Fight the Power Where Is the Love? Big Yellow Taxi

Still tugs tenderly at the heartstrings. Who among us hasn't encountered an attention-seeking "Jenny," wrestled with feelings of deep inadequacy, or succumbed to the clever seduction of an aloof heartbreaker? It always makes me reflect on the "instant friendships" of my youth. They felt so intense in the moment, and they fell apart as soon as life put us on different paths.
