songs that get me going
These songs bring me joy. These versions may not be your cup of tea, but try to imagine me, in my car or the shower or in the office, singing them instead. For it is true that I do.
Tom and Jerry theme song — I didn’t really love the cartoon, but that song! I love how it sweetens up, right at the end. I do sing this, sometimes just la-la-la-ing, sometimes inserting my own special lyrics.
I Wanna Pop! I Wanna …. SSSSSSShasta — this commercial worked its way into the fiber of my being, since it was ubiquitous during my teenage days. Yes, I sing this to myself upon occasion. Irresistible!
Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes — This isn’t the most raucous version, but again, imagine me singing it! I never knew this song when I was younger. I ask my sister Annie to sing it when we see each other. She works with infants, so she knows it well and can rock it out.
