The first song I fell in love with My mother would sing and dance and cook and clean in the kitchen, as many 80s moms did, to divas like Madonna and Paula Abdul. Material Girl made me think: “This is who I want to be.” The first single I bought I bought three records at the same time – Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette, a Sheryl Crow single and Waterfalls by TLC – from Sam the Record Man in Sarnia, Ontario, with money I’d saved up from doing chores around the house. My uncle was always trying to influence me with Canadian music, and he wasn’t wrong for doing so.
The song I do at karaoke Probably Son of a Preacher Man. Although I think karaoke is the best way to let many people know straight away that you are an attention-seeking alcoholic, so I do try to stay away from it. The song I inexplicably know every lyric to Give me a wine, and somehow I know all the words to the entire score of Hamilton, even though I’ve only seen it twice. [Sings Satisfied] “I’m a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich.
My father has no sons, so I’m the one who has to social climb for one. I’m the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York City is insidious.” The best song to play at a party Anything early-2000s hip-hop or R&B, like Gasolina by Daddy Yankee. The song I can no longer listen to What I Am by Will.i.am with Sesame Street.
It makes me cry because he’s giving positive affirmations to young kids about being strong and being the best version of yourself. I can’t even get through it because it makes me so sad. I start worrying that these kids need Sesame Street and Will.i.am to tell them that they’re special.
The song I secretly like, but tell everyone I hate If I like a song, I just like it. Every Spice Girls song – I have no shame. I don’t need to be a music snob.
I would crank up Wannabe any time, anywhere. The best song to have sex to I’m not someone who has sex to music. I like uncomfortable silence.
