Let me start off by saying, I love Twitter. I'm on it way more than I should be. I even appreciate those generic accounts like "Tweet Like A Girl," because they can be pretty funny. A few days ago I saw a tweet on one of these accounts that was a list of "songs to sing at the top of your lungs with the windows down driving late at night with your best friends." I hated the list. Most of the songs were not songs that came to mind when I thought of "Songs to sing at the top of your lungs with the windows down driving late at night with your best friends." One was "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt. Who sings James Blunt at the top of their lungs? James Blunt doesn't even sing at the top of his lungs. Also, they listed "Hey There Delilah" by TRAIN. While I do have to mention that this is in the same category as "You're Beautiful," Train doesn't even sing "Hey There Delilah," the Plain White T's do! Anyone with a long standing relationship with VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown would know that. After all this, I decided to make my own list of songs to sing at the top of your lungs with the windows down driving late at night with your best friends.
