Music of My Youth...

Boyzone...Take That...East 17...the Backstreet Boys...New Kids on the Block...Let Loose...Michael Learns to Rock...Bon Jovi...

Browsing YouTube this evening and stumbling across certain videos (mostly fanvids) featuring songs sung by boy bands I used to go crazy over with, I can't believe how time just passed me by. 12 years ago I was going gaga along with a group of my closest gal pals in our old living room in one of our two apartments squealing in girlish glee at the sight of Boyzone performing their current hit song.

Just the other night I was listening to my Backstreet Boys greatest hits album and their very first single, We've Got It Goin' On, was played. I was instantly transported back in time when I was in grade 10 and I ran for my 10th grade student council rep position (which I won, btw). My fellow 'party' members had to perform during our campaign and since we all liked to dance, we wanted to dance to a song that nobody else has used, and since BSB, at the time, was still 'fresh' and their song was just the right teeny-bopperish pop sound, we latched on to it and watched the video for it, copied some of the dance moves and incorporated some of our own.

It was a blast. I was transported back in time yet again to the day two of my closest gal pals went home with me to watch the video and practice the moves. I dunno how long we were practicing, but I remember losing my voice the next day! Over all it was an awesome experience and left quite an imprint in my life...
