Closer - Tegan and Sara



I am oh so obsessing over this song right now. I was binge-watching BoJack Horseman on Netflix and the last episode ended with this song. I'm like, "Is that Tegan & Sara?" One Google search later and yes, yes it is. I love Tegan and Sara, this song came out in 2012, how have I not heard this song before? In any case, I love the 80's feel, the "typical" but perfect harmonies, and of course the lyrics. It's so bubbly I could hate it, but I totally do not.

Girls and Boys

I have had two songs stuck on me this week with similar (ish) themes. Where love is concerned, we all the same, because love is not a choice.

1. Girls/Girls/Boys - Panic! At The Disco

Apparently an homage to D'Angelo's "How Does It Feel." While I've never heard of D'Angelo before today, all I can say is thanks for ripping him off, Brendon Urie. I really, really like my skinny white boys/girls. Ha. Anyway, this song seems to be about a guy liking a girl who hasn't made up her mind whether she wants him or a girl. Who doesn't love a bi girl? Indecisive. I love it! Love is not a choice...!

Definitely going in my "maybe" list of songs I might sing.

2. Girls Chase Boys - Ingrid Michelson


Also an homage, this time to Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible". I like Ingrid's version about 20 million times more, mostly because I actually like her song, and also because her dancers are hotter. The comments section for this video is also hilarious because just about everyone is like "Boys are in make-up, I don't understand. It makes me feel gross." I happen to like boys in make-up, so I don't really understand what their deal is, but whatever. The point of the song is that we are all the same when it comes to love.
