Recently I read an article about Coolio in Parade under the “Where are they now?” category. Coolio now has a cooking show on My Damn Channel. It’s actually pretty entertaining. My favorite Coolio song is “1,2,3,4 (Sumpin’ New)”. Here’s a remix by DJ Nitro. Here’s the original.

Could the guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” be the most recognizable guitar solo ever? What do you think is the most recognizable guitar solo ever?

The other day after listening to Alanis Morissette and iTunes suggested that I listen to Noush Skaugen. Check out Noush’s music and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Her last effort was a couple years back but still carries a strong sound.

SIMPLE MINDS “Don’t You Forget About Me”
Twenty-five years ago today, The Breakfast Club hit the theaters.  In the time since, the film has become a classic, as an essential part of the lives of so many Generation X’ers and a cultural touchstone that both later and earlier generations can appreciate.  Of course, the film also produced a classic No. 1 hit for Simple Minds with “Don’t You (Forget About Me).”

Rest in peace to Doug Fieger, the lead singer of the Knack who died yesterday after a long battle with cancer. The bands most famous songs were “My Sharona” and “Good Girls Don’t”.

Rush is a contender for the Rock N’ Roll of Fame; I still can’t believe they are not in yet.If you think you know Rush, then check out this live version of Cold Fire off Counterparts.

The number one song in the land “Tik Tok” by Ke$ha ends in a laugh. This tune started me thinking about what other popular songs end with a giggle. Janet Jackson’s “Runaway” and the Gorillza’s “Feel Good Inc.” end in a snicker. Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” also features Vincent Price’s haunting laugh at the end of the track. I also remember Shanice “I Love Your Smile” crescendoed with a laugh.

Can you think of anymore tunes that end in a laugh?
