I have this odd habit while I'm bartending where I assign a song to the way people look or the way they act. Living in the south definitely gives me a lot of characters to work with. I'm not trying to be cruel or demeaning , it just pops into my head.
Take tonight for instance, I see a middle aged woman with bleached blond hair teased to the heavens and boobs that are maybe a quarter her age. She is attractive for her age but has the personality of a wet hen, pecking at her waitress, and cackling so loud that its like nails on a chalkboard. My brain picked "I Like My Women a Little on the Trashy Side"
If I'm having a rough night like tonight, my mind kicks in with some "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba.
"I get knocked down but get up again
You are never gonna keep me down"
This song can get a bit repetitive so you better watch out if this song is on my mind
Of course tonight I also had the late great Miss Aretha Franklin on loop in my thoughts, may she rest in peace.
"R-E-S-P-E-C-T"
What are some of the songs on the soundtrack of your life?
