what follows has been named the “N140” — my favourite songs, of all songs
i was originally aiming for N100 … but i simply couldn’t
the N10 will come out soon, that will be a tedious job
the N140 were picked out of over 650 songs, and i listened to each of the following — if you will believe it — as i made the list
it took me a while, quite a waste of time
but i figure it might amuse some people
there are people i must credit … that comes after the list
so here goes, the N140
the songs are not listed in any particular order, whatsoever
and i’ve used the words “great” and “amazing” so many times, they fail to hold any more meaning for my brain…
this is how you interpret it:
the first line has the title, and the artist
the second line has the type of music (hip hop, rock, etc.) — a question mark if i have no idea what i’m saying…
N140
1 k�nnen diese augen l�gen, by fettes brot
hip hop
it’s german, so i don’t understand anything (except the title itself, it means “can these eyes lie?”)
the music is great, and the song gets you moving — the opening music is particularly amazing and brings your spirits up
2 a kind of magic, by queen
rock
this song has nice lyrics, can relate — heh — and the music is nice
3 rock the casbah, by the clash
(punk) rock
they make a lot of allusions to politics and stuff, you have to have some knowledge of some stuff to fully get the lyrics
but the music should be enough to get you rolling
try to watch the video, it has a jew and an arab in a convertible drinking booze and stuff — and there’s this armadillo all over the place
4 greensleeves, allegedly composed by henry viii
classical
my favourite piece of, what some would call, classical music
it’s amazing
it raises a variety of emotions, it’s graceful, it’s amazing
(i recommend getting the celtic bagpipes version)
5 didi, by cheb khalid
arabic (rock?)
this is in arabic, so i don’t get a word
but the music is great, it was really popular — particularly in the middle east and asia — prompting people to rip the guy’s music
but this is the original, it’s hype
6 yellow submarine, by the beatles
(folk-pop? rock?)
the song is simple, almost childish
it’s oddly spiritual, yet temporal
it’s got a great tune, and a great chorus
7 twist and shout, by the beatles
rock
the lyrics suck, it’s a pure pop song
but the music and whatnot gots ta get you twisting and shouting
or i don’t see how you’s human
work it on out!!!
8 always look on the bright side of life, by monty python
(folk?)
this song’s from the movie, “life of brian” — a hilarious movie at times, but not one recommended by me (go for “monty python and the holy grail” — much funnier, much less vulgar)
but this song has great lyrics — a few swear words — but a great message
and it will definitely get you whistling along, too
9 all you wanted, by michelle branch
(rock?)
a young and budding artist, who doesn’t have to expose half her body to make good music
apparently, she writes her own music and lyrics — hard to find among them “pop” singers nowadays
the lyrics are nice, and the music is nice
and the singing is good
10 children’s story, by slick rick
hip hop (rap)
the message and lyrics are great, supported by amazing music
the beats are great
you gotta get this song, it’s a real classic
to my knowledge, mos def and talib kweli (blackstar) and everlast, among others, i’m sure, have done covers of this song
it’s great
11 stuck in the middle with you, by stealer’s wheel
folk(-pop-rock)
the lyrics and music gotta get you going
nice song
12 ciao!, by lush
(punkish) rock
a conflict between a man and a woman who’ve broken up
it’s great, lush seems to make good songs for breaking up
lol, the music is nice, too
(also try to get untogether)
13 green onions, by booker t. and the mg’s
rock
this is just music, no lyrics
it often comes in car commercials
it’s great — gives a feeling of freedom or summat
nice shtuff
14 ocean spray, by the manic street preachers
rock
this is an amazing song
it’s so great, i can’t describe it
the lyrics coupled with the amazing music
pure wow

15 so why so sad, by the manic street preachers
rock
another one rolls down, the music is amazing
and the lyrics are nothing short, again
great song
16 if you tolerate this, by the manic street preachers
rock
though i don’t like this as much as ocean spray
but the lyrics are niceand the music is nothing short
great message
17 i ain’t no joke, by eric b. and rakim
oldschool hip hop (rap)
some of the realest rhymers out there, oldschool hip hop, eric b. and rakim
i love this song
mainly the music
18 addictive, truth hurts, ft. rakim
hip hop (mixed with hindi)
this is a song everyone seems to be talking about
i actually understand both languages in the song
that makes it all the more enjoyable for me
it’s great
nice music — the lyrics are dumbass — but the music is nice
19 why do fools fall in love, by frankie lymon and the teenagers
oldies, rock and roll
i mean, WHY?! the question is valid
the music is great, too
frankie lymon sounds more like a seven year old than a teenager
but it’s all good…
20 what, by a tribe called quest
oldschool hip hop (rap)
nice lyrics, it asks questions
all starting with “what” — nice music, sort of, but great lyrics… sort of
21 drops of jupiter, by train
rock
two questions:
i) who HASN’T heard this song?
ii) who DOESN’T like it?
it’s amazing, cosmic lyrics, astronomical music
just great
😛
22 under the boardwalk, by drifters
(soul?)
this is a great song, the music is just ginormously great
the lyrics have no particular message (other than love)
but the song is so amazing, it doesn’t matter
it’s great
23 go where you wanna go, by the mamas and the papas
folk
the greater message of this song is hip
the lesser message (about a girl’s love) is … okay
but the greate message is hip
and the music is amazing — no questions about it
24 california dreaming, by the mamas and the papas
folk
this is an amazing song
the lyrics are pure hip
and the music is pure amazing
this is one of the greatest songs
amazing, amazing, amazing
25 dream a little dream, by mama cass elliot (one of ’em mamas and papas)
folk
oh wow, this song is so … moving
the music is so soothingly calmingly great
it’s gotta get you moving
and the classic line “dream a little dream of me”
great, pure great
26 get down on it, by kool and the gang
(er…very broadly hip hoppish?)
the song has no message whatsoever
the beat, though, is great
27 spider-man theme song, from the sixties show, cover by the ramones
theme song… (punk rock by the ramones)
could i possibly leave this out?
😉
28 i wanna be sedated, by the ramones
punk rock
this is a great song
the lyrics are all about wanting to get sedated
which is how many of us feel at times
just tranquilized, ya know
the music is great
29 blitzkreig bop, by the ramones
punk rock
who hasn’t heard the classic line, “hey ho, let’s go!” from this song?
it’s great! the music is great
and it really makes you want to get going
30 whoop, there it is, by tag team
hip hop
who hasn’t heard this song? really?
if there’s one person who hasn’t, they must not know the title, or something
it’s got some lyrics, but it’s pure musical styling
and that … oft-repeated line
“WHOOP! THERE IT IS!”
31 ain’t the devil happy, by jeru the damaja
hip hop (rap)
the lyrics and message are amazing
and jeru’s got hype rhymes
this is a must listen to song
32 black helicopters, by non phixion
hip hop (rap)
a jewish hip hop outfit?
i didn’t think so either, but these dudes are some of the greatest rappers i’ve heard, really
the lyrics are amazingly political — dissing the guvmint and all
and this song, particularly, that amazing jewish tune that goes throughout and introduces the song
i wanna link hands in one of ’em circles and join the dance
but the rapping is great
and the lyrics, too
33 i shot reagan, by non phixion
hip hop (rap)
great song, just great
the music is ill, and the lyrics just spill
the greatest thing is you’ve got to have some intellectual knowledge to understand their songs
great song
34 heaven knows i’m miserable now, by the smiths
rock
great, great song
you can feel the misery, you really can
and you can relate, you really can
great music, great lyrics

until i had to be threatened to stop
(it can be annoying when you’re singing this song on the archery line, i guess)
35 ask, by the smiths
rock
perhaps their most well-known song? perhaps not
but it’s definitely a great one
the message, i like
and the music is pure great

hindi
it seems as if the guy sang the whole song in one breath

nice song

52 tomorrow, by salif keita from the ali soundtrack
african
this … is … one of the all-time greatest songs … EVER
you don’t need to understand the lyrics of the song to get the message
the music is enough
i wish i knew what it meant, but seriously
the song is pure amazing
i feel that your life is not compelete
unless you have heard this song
it is pure amazing
53 mumia 911, by various artists (incl. chuck d. and divine styler)
hip hop (rap)
this song is amazing, because it deals politically with oppression and injustice
specifically with the case of mumia abu-jamal, but also with the greater struggle
it’s got some of the best mc’s all in one track
amazing song, really
54 hajji, by divine styler

this song is really out there
if you can understand part of what’s going on (i’ve heard it a few hundred times, i’ve only figured out part of the lyrics)
then you may enjoy it more
but the music is great, eclectic, amazing
divine styler is known as the “jimi hendrix of hip hop”
he’s much greater than that
😉
56 the everlast/eminem/dilated peoples feud, contributed to by everlast, eminem, and dilated peoples
hip hop
it’s five songs in total, about a feud that took place two years ago, mainly between everlast and eminem
i side with everlast, btw, eminem’s a butthead
everlast dissed eminem (subtly) in a dilated track
eminem cried and bitched on his own track
then everlast came round and dissed him up
eminem cried some more on another track, but this time dissed dilated, too
dilated came round and dissed eminem — where it seems to have fizzed off…
it goes like this:
ear drum pop, by dilated peoples, ft. everlast
i remember, by eminem
whitey’s revenge, by everlast
quitter, by eminem
searching for bobby fischer, by dilated peoples
eminem’s a butthead, moron
and the whole thing was amusing

rock
i can’t get enough of this song
it’s amazing
it won a grammy
it’s great
soothing, frightening, moving
58 faith (bootleg remix), by limp bizkit, ft. everlast
rock/rap
everlast’s part sucked
but the original “faith” sucks, because it has shouting instead of singing
so i settle for this
it’s a nice song, nice lyrics, nice tune
nice stuff
everlast: “can you walk like a pimp, is your bizkit limp”
(that’s not what i expect from everlast… what does it have to do with the rest of the song?)
59 graves to dig, by everlast
rock hop (i.e., rock + hip hop = rock hop)
a great song, nice tune, but better lyrics
it’s about conditioning, and about guns
and death
great song

i love the song
the music is great
the lyrics are hilarious
“i never eat your pig, cuz your pig is a cop”
i can relate, lol
love it

it’s a great song
tupac is a poet
get this song
70 superman, by five for figthing

77 when you believe, by michelle pfeiffer and sally dworsky from the prince of egypt soundtrack
?
i emphasize, NOT the version by mariah carey and whitney houston, they sucked at it
the one right from the movie, by pfeiffer and dworsky, with a children’s chorus singing hebrew lyrics
is simple, captivating, moving, charming
and no one had to blow their vocal cords out to burst my ear drums to do it
it’s very soothing, amazing
the other version was … i won’t say nothing … but it wasn’t much compared to this and its power to move
78 through heaven’s eyes, by brian stokes mitchell from the prince of egypt soundtrack
?
from the movie, again, not the one by k-ci and jojo (though that wasn’t bad)
