brittish 1/25/10 classic flashback craze

At work today I found myself thrilled with the radio tunes that floated from the speakers. First "Baby I'm Yours," the classic Barbara Lewis song that Arctic Monkeys covered in 2006.

Next, "Close to You" by the Carpenters. Imagine the person you die over walking into a room with animated bluebirds flying over his shoulders. Makes you GRIN every time; works like a charm!

How about a little country? "Stand By Your Man" by Tammy Wynette for when you want to wallow in pre-feminist blues that surface in every girl from time to time.

"Baby Love" by The Supremes makes me jump around like a conejita, flippin' my bleached blonde pony tail for joy.

Want to slit your wrists? Then how about "The Endof the World" by Skeeter Davis. I dig her hair so much and wish I could sing with such pathetic/awesomeness.

And best for last, "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes. Let the lyrics speak for themselves.

"The night we met I knew I needed you so/and if I had the chance I'd never let you go/So won't you say you love me?/I'll make you so proud of me/We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go/So won't you please (be me, be my) Be my little baby/Say you'll be my darlin'/Be my baby now/Ooh whoa whoa oh-ohh/I'll make you happy, just wait and see/for every kiss you give me I'll give you three/Oh since the day I saw you I have been waiting for you/You know I will adore you till eternity."
