Walk Up Music Wednesday, Vol. 6
(No clue what Walk Up Music is? Start here .)
Nothing excites me less than Halloween falling on weeknight. Unless you include basketball tip offs at 9:06 p.m. or later. Or a full moon on a Monday.
Knowing that, I knew I would have to seriously bring it this week. So without further delay...
Monday-"Enter Sandman" by Metallica. From the opening notes, you can't help but feel large and in charge, especially when you're walking down an empty school hallway at 6:30 in the morning. And if you're not a Metallica purist, go to YouTube and search for Luke Bryan's version. My bestie and I went and saw him a few years ago in Cincy. He did "Enter Sandman" in a medley that included "Fishin' in the Dark" by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Three words: Off. The. Hook.)
Tuesday-"Munster Rag" by Brad Paisley. Yes, it was Halloween. Which meant I heard a lot of the Halloween staples ("Monster Mash", "Somebody's Watching Me", and "Thriller") on the radio. And this one's just fun because it's all instrumental. It's also another one I associate with seeing live. My college roommate and I went and saw Brad Paisley at the Little Nashville Opry in Nashville, Indiana and he played this song live. Good times.
Wednesday-"Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This" by The Shirelles. You know what I'm talking about-it's the day after Halloween, you know everyone's going to come in hyper from the candy, followed by the inevitable sugar crash, there's a full moon on the horizon. And it's only Wednesday.
Sadly, this is where our journey ends. I managed to injure myself Wednesday evening and woke up Thursday hurting so badly that I only stayed a half day at work. I didn't even try and psych myself up and then wound up staying home Friday as well but there's always next week...
