{Re-Play Thursday} Touch Me - Katharine McPhee

"Touch Me - Katharine McPhee"

This song is pure sex. It is just complete hotness. I love the new hit NBC show "Smash" and this song is just one in the series of great singles that have popped out in the first 5 episodes. Think of it as a grown up Glee with killer dancing and a pretty dramatic story line that focuses on one broadway show a season and this season the show is based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. (With whom I just adore anyway...who doesn't!?) I haven't been obsessed with a new show in forever and this has my heart and music soul hooked 100%. 

Here is a sneak peak of when Katharine's character, Karen, sings the song:

And this is the whole song!

Look at me baby
Tell me, tell me what you see? (oh wow)
Wanna watch baby like a like a movie screen (oh wow)
Tryna get what I want
Want you on your knees (oh wow)
Give it up, baby don't you, don't you make a scene (oh wow)

So come on turn me
Baby be my marlon brandon
Take a good snapshot
Get me from my better angle
Cause I like it hot
And you know I love scandal
Tell me what you what you waiting for?

Touch me (touch me)

I wanna feel you on my body
Put your hands on me
Come on and love me
You wanna get it boy
I'll give it to the count of three
Hold me closer
Don't wanna take it slow
I wanna go somewhere where we can be alone

Touch me (touch me)

I wanna feel you on my body
Put your hands on me

Do you like when i'm leaning leaning into you? (oh wow)
Close your eyes
Baby breathe in breathe in my perfume (oh wow)
Dim the lights, take it slow like a dream come true (oh wow)
Cause tonight i'mma show you what to do (oh wow)

So come on turn me
Baby be my marlon brandon
Take a good snapshot
Get me from my better angle
Cause I like it hot
And you know I love scandal
Tell me what you what you waiting for?

Touch me (touch me)

I wanna feel you on my body
Put your hands on me
Come on and love me
You wanna get it boy
I'll give it to the count of three
Hold me closer
Don't wanna take it slow
I wanna go somewhere where we can be alone

Touch me (touch me)

I wanna feel you on my body
Put your hands on me

Every move that I could make
You are trending
Put your hands around my waist
Boy set me free
How much more that I can take
If you don't take it all

Touch me (touch me)

I wanna feel you on my body
Put your hands on me
Come on and love me
You wanna get it boy
I'll give it to the count of three
Hold me closer
Don't wanna take it slow
I wanna go somewhere where we can be alone

Touch me (touch me)

I wanna feel you on my body
Put your hands on me

The soundtrack to the show is released on May 1st and you better believe I will be doing a giveaway for it!

{Re-Play Thursday} Pyromania - Cascada

"Pyromania" by Cascada

Oh emm gee I am obsessed with this song. I heard it in a video featuring a new Chauvet light that I bought (YEA. I bought a shiny new light all to myself. So proud and SO excited for it to get here to play with/show off!!) I realized after a few minutes that the song was stuck in my head and I didn't even realize it until I was just humming and didn't know the words. (Does that annoy any one else? Just me?) I have been a fan of Cascada since her Everytime We Touch phase and I love her! Plus there are about 30 remixes of this song already and when I make my way through listening to them, I may share it again. It hit the top of the charts in the UK Dance scene so we will see how it does here considering it was just released last month. She has a way of exploding a dance floor and I think this song has potential to become a party staple. 

Has anyone else heard this song? What do you think?

Pyro Pyromania ma ma ma mania
Pyro Pyromania ma ma ma mania

Call me obsessed
Call me insane 
Something is creeping through my veins
My eyes cannot see 
What’s underneath
I can’t stop and you can’t stop me

I’m gonna get this fire started
Impossible for you to breath
The temperatures rising up (up, so hot)
Cause I’m burning up

Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Pyromania
Ah ah ow
Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Ow ow owww

Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Pyromania
Ah ah ow
Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Ow ow owww


Pyro Pyromania ma ma ma mania
Pyro Pyromania ma ma ma mania

I must confess
A thousand degrees
Bring out the beast inside of me
Don’t be afraid
Go into the place

It’s gonna melt your fears away
I’m gonna get this fire started
Impossible for you to breath
The temperatures rising up (up, so hot)
And I’m burning up

Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Pyromania
Ah ah ow
Pyromania
Pyromania 
Ow ow owww

(Don’t you see me burning up)

Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Pyromania
Ah ah ow
Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Ow ow owww

(Heat it, heat it up up)

Pyro Pyromania ma ma ma mania
Pyro Pyromania ma ma ma mania

Soon as the fire is running wild
I will surrender to Fahrenheit 
And I don’t want to apologize
It’s getting hot and I’m burning up

Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Pyromania
Ah ah ow
Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Ow ow owww

(Heat it, heat it up up)

Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Pyromania
Ah ah ow
Pyromania
Pyromania ow
Ow ow owww

"Gold on the Ceiling"  and "Lonely Boy" by The Black Keys

I. Love. The Black Keys. Straight up, for real? They are awesome. I feel like more of a bad ass than I am when I listen to them. I normally try to hunt down new albums by my fav artists but their latest one (well December 2011) slipped through the cracks...I don't know why because the album "El Camino" is ridiculously fun and creative. It was a refreshing mix to listen to. Never disappointed from these blokes. I love both of these songs and I almost just featured the album but these two were on the repeat for me. If The  Black Keys are a new band to your ears, give em' a chance and sit back and take a listen. (If you fall in love with them then you have to also check out their 'Magic Potion' album....best song is 'Your Touch'. AWESOMESAUCE) NOW! On to the goooood stuff!

"Gold on the Ceiling"

Down in the waves
She screams again
Roar at the door
My mind can't take much more
I could never drown

They wanna get my
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no blood in my eye
Clouds covered love's
Barbed-wire fence
Strung up, strung out
I just can't go without

I could never drown

They wanna get my
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no blood in my eye

They wanna get my
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no blood in my eye

"Lonely Boy"

Well I'm so above you 
And it's fine to see 
But I came to love you anyway 
So you tore my heart out 
And I don't mind bleeding 
Any old time to keep me waiting 
Waiting, waiting 

Chorus: 
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting 
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting 
I'm a lonely boy 
I'm a lonely boy 
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting 

Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you 
And I should've done you just the same 
But I came to love you 
Any old time you keep me waiting 
Waiting, waiting 

Chorus: 
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting 
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting 
I'm a lonely boy 
I'm a lonely boy 
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting 

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting 
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting 
I'm a lonely boy 
I'm a lonely boy 
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

{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....
