Christina Aguilera, “What A Girl Wants”

Today for lunch I went and got a salad, because I am nothing if not predictable, and they were playing this song and I almost laughed out loud because it is one of those songs that take me so completely back to being thirteen. I could tell the girl in line with me was feeling the same way because she started tapping her feet and mouthing the words; I was holding my mouth very tightly closed because I was afraid I was going to start doing the same. This song reminds me of when I had a cassette player and would tape hours of radio just waiting for my favorite song to come on, because that was the only way children could steal music in those days, ugh this new generation etc.

That cassette player is long gone and I won’t be bringing it back anytime soon, but I am having some strong feelings about her low-rise leather bellbottoms.
