Britney Spears - Circus

Before you throw the rotten tomatoes, let me just say that I am posting this because:

(1) This is not a blog for new or good or obscure music, it's a record of the songs I love and unfortunately I love this song,
(2) The jukebox in my head has it on continuous repeat and I think the cause is some Britney-sympathizing god out there exerting karmic punishment on me for unfairly refusing to post it, and
(3) As a former celebrity-gossip-monger and avid ONTD reader, I care deeply about this woman's personal life, her successes and failures, the status of her career. She's so fucking hot here I feel proud as a parent watching her daughter as the lead in the school play (and for some reason am advocating her overt sexuality? Ok. Bad analogy.)

Anyways. Fierce beyond fierce. Have two children and a public mental breakdown before telling me you do not admire this woman for making a full-on comeback.

Olivia Newton-John - Physical

In choosing this song my first instinct is to apologize for having retarded taste, but this really was a popular song once upon a time. In 1981, it was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts for ten straight weeks. Back then people everywhere were humming its catchy tune and I've recently begun to as well, but my obsession is partly for the song's quality and partly for its kitschy appeal. I love it for the ridiculous video and the Sandy-turned-bad and the horrible 80's fashion, but I don't think I'm in the majority because I'm also the type of person who secretly loves shitty Chinese food, Hannah Montana, and fugly clothes -- all with the belief/knowledge that I shouldn't. So should I apologize? Maybe. But then the entire decade of 1980 should apologize, too.
