HA. I had someone ask me once if I was named after the OMD song, since that's my name.

I told them I predated the song by at least a decade and a half.....

I was, indeed. To honour my grandfather.

Did your Granddad fly on that mission?

No, he built B-29 engines and then worked as a guard in Oak Ridge on the Manhattan Project. He was Daddy's daddy and I was named after that time of his life because Daddy loved him so much and wanted to honour him.

Wow, I've heard of exactly one of those songs. Are they fairly recent, or just less well known?

My dad and I have this theory that people stop listening to any music written after their first child was born.

For me, at least, your dad was wrong. LD

Well it's not just my dad. I couldn't name you a song that was written after 2005.

I mean, there's that Drake song about 'call me on my cellphone' every time the Raptors are on telly, but other than that...

One of my favourite songs is Maroon 5's "Maps". I love Katy Perry's "Roar" and a lot of Taylor Swift's. There are many others, and a lot of it is from my alarm clock being turned to a station that plays "From the 80s to today!"

Haha, my radio station plays everything up UNTIL the 80s :)

My daughter likes Katy Perry though, and whenever she listens to it, I know how my dad felt about Janet Jackson.

(this comment may have disappeared the firs time 'round...)

ha ha most of these are pretty old as it happens - but there's another reason to not have children. I don't listen to a massive amount but I do have some up to date stuff on my playlist! :D

I would have a tough time with this: every vowel in my name is an A...

Still, I've heard about half of these. Very cool list.

But it's your LJ name you use so that gives you an X!

*face palm* This is what I get for cutting down on my caffeine! I spent a lot of time on the bus this morning trying to remember all my favourite A songs (but not the pronoun A--that would be cheating). *sigh*

Hmmm... do I have an X song in my playlist...
