Fruits Candy

Tip, tap, love is always a candy
It's tasty like fruits
Good luck, yes, every day is a Sunday
Don't fret, my heart

Let's head out to the town after the rain
Blowing up your bubblegum and your curiousity
The blue, blue sky reflected in the puddle
Even tears will dry up, jellybean!

Ah, to the pastel rays of the sun
Even happiness is yawning
Let's walk slowly
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Tip, tap, it's just like a dreaming candy
When you have a mouthfull you'll be happy
Goodbye to a very melancholy Monday
Don't rush, my dream!

Is there anything as nonsensical as a well-crafted JPop anime theme song? I swear these songs are all descenced in a direct line from "Yummy Yummy Yummy, I've Got Love In My Tummy", and if you were to travel back in time and eliminate that one song you'd potentially eliminate all of JPop as we know it.

I like the ending theme to the later Cardcaptor Sakura episodes. I don't own it, but I might have to track it down, it's a quintisential anime theme song, bouncy upbeat happy JPop with inane lyrics on themes that combine love and candy somehow. Tip, tap, it's just like a dreaming candy! Whatever that is!

Woo, working for the weekend!

Working For The Weekend... was a lame song by a lame group (Loverboy), fronted by a lame singer (Mike Reno, or whatever his lame-ass name was), who once tried desperately to buy the Porsche Spider show car (I think it was a 54... maybe a 55 or 56, I dunno) that Steve Terrien, whom I worked with, owned. (He kept saying, "Name your price! Don't you know who I am?") Despite that I think it was actually a number one song at some point, but that doesn't really concern me that much because you know what? It was never a number one hit on my birthday! So there!

It turns out that you can find out all of the number one hit songs (Billboard #1s in the USA) on any given date at this web site.

So... were any cool songs number one on my birthday? Mostly no. I don't want to post the entire list here so I'm going to cut about half of it out, and provide stupid comments:

Oh well, wasn't that fun?

Definitely in my book the best songs to ever be #1 on my birthday are Can't Get No Satisfaction and Rockin' Around The Clock. ^_^

In other news I tracked down the Sakura ending theme song "Fruits Candy". I already own a Card Captor Sakura Soundtrack, and figured this song would be on a volume 2. I checked Amazon, and they did indeed have a volume 1 and a volume 2, but I didn't see the song title I wanted on volume 2, so I checked Animenation. I struck out there so I did a search and found another anime place, Japanimation.com I think it was. In any case they also had volume 3... and volume 4. Yikes! I knew it was a long series, but I didn't realize there were that many soundtracks! Anyway the song I wanted was on volume 4 so I ordered that. ^_^ This is actually the first time I've ordered something since moving!
