Introducing me! #1

 Hey y'all! My name is Jenna Thomas and I am a freshman here at SUU and I am super excited for this semester. I have a lot of favorite artists but if I had to choose my top I would have to go with Meghan Trainor. I don't have a certain genre I like to listen to but I really like slower songs that have a piano accompaniment or really up beat hype songs. If you haven't noticed yet I am kind of all over the place when it comes to music, I like listening to a little bit of everything!

Tubular Twelve

For my last blog post I wanted to end with a bang. I can't think of a better way to do that than to listen to the one and only "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" by Beyonce, the queen herself. This song is the ultimate jam. It doesn't matter if you are a single lady, a happily married lady, heck you could even be a man and you know that this song is elite. It has such a fun dancing beat and it is my favorite song to dance to at a wedding dance party or really just any dance event! Like many other songs that I have wrote about this semester this song has a lot of memories for me. When I was little my mom loved this song so for her birthday my dad organized for our family to make a music video to this song. It was choreographed and everything, we were in the car and my aunt videoed it for us. She loved it, and it is still one of our favorite videos to watch! We put it on YouTube but sadly we did not blow up...but many years later we are still hoping! This song is just t...

Nifty Nine

This week I listened to the song Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry. This song just instantly reminds me of my dad. He loves this type of music and does his funny little dad dance moves to this song every time it turns on. My favorite thing about my dad is that he loves dance parties, I definitely get that from him. What he loves even more is when this song comes on at a dance party. You already know that he is going to be in the middle of the dance circle pulling out his signature dance moves from high school. It is seriously so fun to watch, my dad is a pretty chill, mellow guy so when he is excited about something you know. This is one of the songs that can get him really excited. This song is also just an all around fantastic song, the beat is so unique and so cool I just love it so much. It doesn’t sound like any other songs and it just stands out to me personally. I would love to choreograph a dance to this song or learn a dance to this song. It would be so entertaining for the...

EXTRA CREDIT #2

For my second Switched on Pop extra credit assignment I decided to listen to the episode called We *do* talk about Bruno because I love this song and it intrigued me. In this episode they talk about how it is really rare that a Disney song will even make it on the top 100 let alone it gets to be number one, even over the iconic Adele. They go over what the movie is about and tell Bruno’s story and what the song is about. Basically why he is the exiled uncle in the movie. They start out by talking about the piano in the beginning and how it uses syncopated notes and it just makes you want to dance. It is at a slower tempo which makes it seem more mysterious. Lin Manuel who wrote Hamilton, also wrote the music for this movie and he wrote this song in one sitting right after hearing about Bruno. Another reason why they said it could have blown up is because it has lots of different characters singing. Each character has very different styles and kind of mixes it up with their personality....
