{Re-Play Thursday} Rihanna - You da One

"Rihanna - You Da One"

This song has been in my head for a week. It was played over and over and over again while my hubs and I were in Jamaica. They love them some Rihanna! Over the week I tried to not be annoyed by the song and to start appreciating it. I love the easy going and breezy simpleness of the message she is singing. It is a classic modern love song. You can dance to it. You can jam to it. You can make out to it. It is just easy to listen to. Also...as corny as it sounds I know that when ever either of us hears this song, we will smile and think of our time in Jamaica. <3 

HUH?! Am I right? It is just great. Her style overall has blown up the past couple years and I totally respect her for coming into her own. My favorite part of the song is when she sings "You are the one so I make sure I behave" HAHA. Funny because it is true...

You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

Baby, I love you, I need you here
With me all the time
Baby we meant to be
You got me, smiling all the time

Cause you know how to give me that
You know how to pull me back
When I go runnin, runnin
Tryin' to get away from loving ya
You know how to love me hard
I won't lie, I'm falling hard
Yep, I'm falling for ya but there's nothin wrong with that

[Chorus]
You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is mine

Baby come, take me now, hold me now
Make me come alive
You got the sweetest touch
I'm so happy, you came in my life

Cause you know how to give me that
You know how to pull me back
When I go runnin, runnin
Tryin' to get away from loving ya
You know how to love me hard
I won't lie, I'm falling hard
Yep, I'm falling for ya but there's nothin wrong with that

[Chorus]
You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is mine

[Bridge]
And Yes I'm kinda crazy,
That's what happens baby,
When you put it down
You shouldn't give it to me
Good like that,
Shouldn't hit it like that,
Had me yellin' like that
Didn't know you would've had me coming back

You the one that I'm feeling
You the one that I'm loving
Ain't no other niggas like you
No there's just one, one, one
One, one, one
No baby just one, one, one
I bet you wanna know

[Chorus]
You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is mine

Yeah Mon!

It is almost March. Um....no. Not ready? Can we go backwards? Seriously. I felt like I was just wrapping Christmas presents and now I am gearing up for wedding season! AGGHH! (Well...on the upside this means Summer is right around the corner so I may need to re-think my attitude here.)

Meanwhile, my husband and I just got back from our (much belated) honeymoon in Jamaica. (Insert jealous remarks...here!) I will tell you that if you ever find yourself going to Ocho Rios, Jamaica you MUST stay at Sandal Grande Riviera and as soon as you check in you MUST go find Karorie at the bar down on Kelly's dockside and tell him Amanda and Jason sent you and he will give you a killer Steelbottom. Don't know what that is? It is worth the miles to go find out :) We just had a faaaaaannnnntastic time. Loved every second.

While we were in paradise we were taking in the amazing views, warm breezes, cool cocktails and overall relaxation...until that new Rihanna song played. For the 12th time that morning. Or the sappy love songs that were played until you pretty much fell asleep. Don't think I hate on Ri-Ri or love songs, trust me! I am a fan. However we were on vacation people! I don't want to hear repeats all day! I don't want to listen to Faith Hill's crooning away about kissing someone! Ok! Ok! I do get that this is a couples resort BUT that crap was just BAD. Can you throw in something that makes you wanna dance? Or some local reggae? Bob Marley? Jimmy Buffet? No one? It even became a joke with the hubs and I and a few of the staff because we just knew that they had to get tired of the same music over and over. They did. The musical highlight of the trip was them talking Jason and I into singing karaoke. We may or may not have had a few steelbottoms and sang Love Shack. ;)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

{Re-Play Thursday} Blow by Ke$ha

"Ke$ha - Blow"

I am so distracted by Ke$ha right now, it surprises me. When she first came onto the music scene I thought she was bat-s*it crazy and her style was just....bad. That "TikTok" song annoyed be to the point that I wouldn't give her other music a chance. Well. I should know by now that you cannot judge new artists by the first song released. 100% of the time they have no say what song is stamped by their name, it is the suit that signs their paychecks. 

Meanwhile, I love this song. I love jamming to it in the car. I love working out with it blasting in my ears. I love to watch the music video. It cracks me up when she says "Bear? You have until the count of zero to put some pants on!" haha! (Besides, who doesn't love James Van Der Beek?!) I even dared to play it at the end of a wedding reception on a wimb and people went CRAZY. Ke$ha would be proud. All I will say before you exit screen is if you haven't given this song a chance, press play again. Give it a listen. Check out the lyrics too, it is even more fun to sing along!

*Laughs*
Dance

Backdoor cracked we don't need a key
We get in for free
No VIP sleaze
Drink that Kool-Aid follow my lead
Now you're one of us
You're comin with me

It's time to kill the lights and
Shut the DJ down
This place about to
Tonight we're takin over
No one's getting out

This place about to blow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Blow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
This place about to blow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Blow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
This place about to blow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Blow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
This place about to blow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Blow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
This place about to

Now what (what?)
We're takin control
We get what we want
We do what you don't
Dirt and glitter cover the floor
We're pretty and sick
We're young and we're bored

It's time to lose your mind and
Let the crazy out
This place about to
Tonight we're takin names cause
We don't mess around

(Chorus)

Go-go-go-go insane go insane
Throw some glitter make it rain on em'
Let me see them hands
Let me let me see them hands
Go insane go insane
Throw some glitter make it rain on em'
Let me see them hands
Let me let me see them hands

We are taking... over
Get used to it... OK?

(Chorus) x2

This place about to blow....
