Soundtrack to a Happy Holiday?!?

As a member of the generation that experienced the beginning of MTV and music videos; "Video Killed The Radio Star" after all. I should have known that music would begin to weave itself into my everyday life. Driving (Well actually sitting in traffic!) home on the freeway, in my head I always hear the lyrics to Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi", you know, the part about the parking lot. 
I guess I have always had a soundtrack playing in my head. 

In 1983 at a friend's wedding, when my future husband asked the DJ to play Billy Idol's "White Wedding" I should have known he was trouble, someone that would not even wait for the wedding couple to enjoy their first dance to a song of their own choosing. As he pulled me onto the dance floor I faintly heard the phantom song only I could hear; "Dancing With Myself", it would have been smarter. 


Fast forward to May 2013 when he said he was thinking of moving out, the only sound I heard were the lyrics to Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust", as most of our friends were already divorced.

Now as we near the end of another year, a new year for me living a single life, 
I happily hear the Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping" ringing in my ears!

Since this is the season of giving, a story that gives insight to what most men really want (and what I always thought they did).
