Uncovering a mixed CD … and then having to use Shazam

OK, it’s time for a little Friday fun.

For those of you not born in the last 20 years, you might be able to relate.

Remember mixed tapes? Man they were awesome. Grab some tunes, make a couple of mixed tapes and head out for a long ride. How cool was that? Loved it.

Alas, this isn’t a mixed tape, per say.

I was digging around looking for something the other night and came across a stack of CDs. I went through them all last night and came up with a lot of older photos (from when I was first into digital photography, so 2003/04). Mixed in was a music CD.

Of course I had to check it out.

I have no idea when this was made, to be honest. I’m sure I could search all the songs and find out when they were made and could give an educated guess. I’d guess the mid 2000s or so.

So, I thought it would be fun — as long as I can find some YouTube videos — to put what I found on this CD. Please note I had to find a few of these via Shazam so I knew what the heck they were.

Have a great Friday.

1. Let’s Get Retarded (Black Eye Peas) 

This is before the PC version (let’s get it started) took over and it’s unedited.

2. Yeah! (Usher feat. Lil’ Jon and Ludacris)

Sad to say, I had to Shazam this one.

3. Frickin’ A – Trend

This is a pretty funny song. Lyrics below the video.  Had to Shazam this one, too.

Woke up today 
looking through my email 
it’s all triple x – explicit sex 
But I’m not horny 

Can’t make it stop, the different colored soda pops 
striped toe socks, call the cops 
I can’t take anymore 

I’ve got the perfect cel plan with nights and weekends free 
All the ringtones that I need 
But no one ever calls me 

I should paint myself green 
Walk around in a red g-string 
Cause I just don’t fit in 
Turn my hat sideways 
put a band aid on my face 
You know that I…. 
Wish I could start a trend 

Checkin’ out and in of the Paris Hilton 
Joe Millionaire – he’s a has been
Flippin’ through a hundred million channels 
But I still watch Road Rules 
Lose the pounds FLIP 
You gotta buy now FLIP 
Here’s the number to save your soul FLIP 
Breaking news…another Michael Jackson scandal 

I’ve got the perfect cel plan with nights and weekends free 
More on-peak than I need 
But no one ever calls me 

I’ll wear low rider jeans 
Put a barbell through my dingaling 
Cause I just don’t fit in 
Turn my hat sideways 
put a band aid on my pretty face 
Cause I wish, I know, I could…
I would start a trend 

Nana nana na 
Nana nana na 
Nana nana na 

Then there’s my girlfriend 
She’s such a cutie 
She’d be a beauty 
If she could get an extreme makeover on that booty 
I could bend her over and she let me spank it 
Take off my jeans 
The zipper pinched my dingaling 
And I don’t really fit in 
Throw my hat away 
Take that stupid band aid off my face 
And I…I wish there were 
One more way to tan your skin 
a reality show where no one wins 
If I would be myself 
Then I could start a trend 

Nana nana na 
Nana nana na 
Nana nana na 

Then I could start a trend

Nana nana na 
Nana nana na 
Nana nana na 

If I’d just be myself

Nana nana na 
Nana nana na 
Nana nana na 

Be myself

Nana nana na 
Nana nana na 

If I’d just be myself

4. Tangled up in me (Skye Sweetnam) 

<Sigh> I know. On the bright side, I had to Shazam it.

5. Somebody told me (The Killers)

This is still a pretty kick-ass song. Upbeat. Easy to drive to.

6. Nobody’s Fool (Kenny Loggins)

Hell yeah! Caddyshack II! Rock it. Lyrics below the video for sure. Rock it! I’m nobody’s fool!

I know you think I’m no match for you baby
You like being rough on me don’t ya, my my my (ha ha)
Back to the shack oh yeah
Nothing suits me better than that
If time has taught me anything
Got to learn to be the ball
And I can’t keep from laughing at it all (whoa)
I’m gonna laugh

I’m going all the way
Sooner or later gotta love somebody
Don’t care how long it takes

Like a shock to the heart
I’ve got news for you
I may not look so smart
But I’m nobody’s fool

Oh no, that’s enough for you baby
Taking it slow, it’s too much for me to analyze
Still all right, heading into the rhythm of a summer night
Winds of wild insanity, blow with me tonight
Saddle up all you cowboys, gonna ride
I’m gonna ride

I’m going all the way
Sooner or later gotta love somebody
Don’t care how long it takes

You can turn up the heat
But I’m playing it cool
I know it’s hard to believe
I ain’t nobody’s fool

I’m going all the way (all the way)
Sooner or later gotta love somebody (I don’t care)
Don’t care how long it takes

You might think that
I have not gone to school on you
Baby like it or not
I ain’t nobody’s fool

My hallucination may come as some surprise
You may try to deny it
You’re amazed when the clown slaps you in the face
Leaves you dumbfounded there in his way (yeah)

I’m going all the way (yeah)
Sooner or later gotta love somebody (gotta love somebody)
Don’t care how long it takes

Like a shock to the heart
I’ve got news for you
Maybe I’m not so smart
But I’m nobody’s fool

I’m going all the way (oh yeah)
I’m going all the way (I’m nobody’s fool, baby, nobody’s fool)
Don’t care how long it takes (I don’t care)
I’m going all the way (who’s fooling who?)

7. Mr. Mom (Lonestar)

This really is a fun little song.

8. The Love Song (K-OS)

Yep, Shazam.

9. Call on Me (Eric Prydz)

The video of this is actually a little racy, so I just went with the one below. If you want to see it, head to YouTube! End strong though … this was also found via Shazam!

So there you have it. I’m definitely not a mix-master as I like to think I once was. Alas, the tunes were obviously good for me at the time, despite the fact that some of them didn’t stand the test of time.

I’ll have to see if I can uncover a few more CDs for some future posts.
