Here it is! Number one!

The moment you've been waiting for is finally here! It's time for number one!

#1 - That Old Pair of Jeans by Fatboy Slim

I. love. this. song. Seriously, I will never be in a bad mood after I hear it.

Also, this video is actually what got me really into juggling. I mean, I've been able to juggle since third grade-ish, but that was just like 3 balls, whatever. Then I saw this video around eighth grade (I think, I don't remember exactly) and was like "I NEED TO LEARN THAT."

So I did.

So that's that. My favorite 21 songs of my first 21 years. Maybe I'll do another countdown 21 years from now? Who knows.

Numbers 3 and 2!

 #3 - Hips Don't Lie by Shakira

I might be slightly obsessed with every song Shakira has ever made, nbd.

Asi es perfecto.

Also, honorable mention by Shakira: Waka Waka.

#2 - Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel

I love how this song starts out slow, then the pace picks up, then -- killer piano solo! -- even faster! Then calms back down. It's like it's actually telling a story.

I'm good at this

Because I've done such a good job at doing a post a day, here are numbers eight through four!

#8 - Amor Fati by Washed Out
I don't think I've found a Washed Out song that I don't like yet.

#7 - Nexus by Dan Fogelberg
My mom is obsessed with this dude. She always has him blasting around the house. So naturally, he became one of my favorite musicians too.

#6 - Runnin' With a Gun by Slightly Stoopid
I usually can't stand Slightly Stoopid, but this is one catchy tune.

#5 - Theme from The Magnificent Seven by Elmer Bernstein
Best. western. soundtrack. ever.

#4 - Ummm... every single song by John Williams
I knew I wanted to get a John Williams song on this list, but just like Owl City, I knew I could fill the entire list with his songs. So I guess I'll just pick out one favorite. I've always loved Victory Celebration/End Title from Star Wars VI... Is it even possible to not get chills when the End Title begins at 2:23? Pretty sure the answer is "nope."

#9 - Charlie by Nantes

If triple j plays it, it must be good.

#10 - Bleecker and 6th by Jesse Ruben

"At first they were shy and a little bit quiet
But they stayed awake until dawn
And as the day passed they both realized at last
They'd found what they'd lacked all along
So he takes a deep breath
Puts his hand on her neck and they kiss
And this isn't a shock cause this story does not have a twist
They're in love and they live in a loft down on Bleecker and 6th"
