Whatever happened to movie theme songs?

The other day I was listening to 933 and they were discussing the "10 worst songs ever written" and #8 was "My Heart Will Go On". They then proceeded to talk about the time in movie history when big movies had major, and in many cases cheesy, theme songs and it made me realize that those songs are really lacking in today's movies. Here's a lil list of songs they talked about

Seal's "Kiss from a rose on a grave"- I personally love this song and don't think it's cheesy at all. In fact, no matter what Batman movie I watch I think of this song

Whitney Houston's "I will always love"- yeah it's cheesy and the movie is mediocre, but the woman's got a great set of pipes. Personally, whenever I hear it I like to pretend I can sing and dramatically lip-sync to it without embarrassing myself or others.

Bryan Adam's "Everything I do, I do it for you"- total cheese, but it's got HEART!! And listen to the words, wouldn't you want your one true love to feel that way?

Lastly...the grand daddy of them all-
"My heart will go on"- we all saw the movie, we all fell in love with leo and hated kate b/c she got to kiss him. We all sang the damn song in our school choir... usually with little success, but no matter how much you hate it, you can't help but love it. Even after watching it you let the credits play so you can do an interrupted dance/dramatic lip sync and if you're really in the mood you act out "I'm the king of the world!", "I'm flying Jack!!" and "I'll never let go."

So I want to challenge musicians to bring back the dramatic theme songs. They are dearly missed no matter what people say and you know ten years after it hit the air waves you will hear it playing while you are waiting to see the dentist, smile, and quietly humm the lyrics under your breath.

I added the videos to all the songs so you can relive all the wonderful memories...

Seal- "Kiss from a rose on a grave"


Whitney Houston' "I will always love you"


Bryan Adams- "Everything I do, I do for you"


Celine Dion- "My heart will go on"


(While looking up that video I couldn't help but watch it and do a dramatic lip-sync in my room :))

brrrrr...

First of all... I should be studying, but anyways... We are such wimps, OK well I am. There's a "winter storm" passing through today and the temp didn't get higher than like 58 and I thought I was going to die. Living in SD has given me the thinnest blood in the world and I was so cold I didn't want to get out of my clothes, to actually get in a warm shower. The actual storm was crazy. Around 12ish we look out and it's as if the Nile is running down Brockbank. The water was almost over flowing on to the sidewalk and was almost up to the bottom of all our Asian cars. I love this stuff, b/c it's nice to mix it up, but at the same time it makes me appreciate our almost year round sunny weather. B/c I am a huge weather dork I've been spending quality time on weather.com tracking the rain and I noticed that the middle of the country is really cold. For example, I saw that the high in Dallas was 37. I thought that was really cold so I looked up the average for Dec and saw it was around 57....THAT'S 20 DEGREES!!! I could not imagine if San Diego was 20 degrees below average. I've been in weather like that in Paris and NY, but I think I'd die of shock. I don't think ppl would know what to do. we rap up in jeans, sweatshirts, scarfs, and uggs when it is "cold" so I don't think people have clothes for that weather...or if they do it's snowboarding clothes. It would be pretty funny to see people walking to class in snowboarding pants and and jackets. My mom would have 10 layers on and the heater up to 80. Makes me cold thinking about it. Luckily... b/c we live by the coast it would take a ubber-cold winter storm to ever get that cold because temps to fluctuate as drastically on the coast (just say it... I'm a huge nerd). OK well I'm not getting anything done so I'm hitting the sack so I can get up and study for my geo final. Wish me luck, and stay warm

A philathropy we can pwn!!

We will redeem ourselves next semester. I just heard that we are going to try and get into a football philanthropy and I'm so excited! We got robbed at SLO, but we learned what our weaknesses are and we know what needs to be done this time around. Yes, we are the Christian sorority, but that doesn't mean we won't own the field. Obviously we don't know what the competition is, but when we've got Caspie under the middle and Teso, Cout, Zulu, Twighlight, and Miata on the outside, Corve Rarri, and me owning the O-line, and a defense that gets in your face I don't know how we can't kick some anus. Shoot, softball was fun a couple years ago and we only had a few girls whom had played. we are well schooled in plays and techniques and we will make AGO proud... even though it's not their event, we owe them credit. So as break comes near, take advantage of your free time and break a sweat every now and then. we may be 1/10 the size in number of girls, but we got skillllllzzzzzz.!!!!
