"Comfortably Numb"

If you've read my main blog (or even if you haven't), I bet that you've wondered why this blog's name is The Archenemy. It's named after a former friend of mine after we had a big argument. Anyway, in February, I began to call him archnemesis, which soon evolved to Archenemy in June 'cause it rolled off the tongue better (and because spell check wasn't all over my ass about it).

Anyway, around December of last year, I found this song posted on someone's wall and I knew that my former friend liked Pink Floyd, I listened to this song and actually liked it.

Surprising how former friends can influence others, huh?

Enough of my life story. Let's get THIS one underway.

For your listening pleasure, off of Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall, is

"Comfortably Numb."

"Lay Down Your Arms"

I always like to say where I was when I hear a particular song, so I'll try to be truthful with this one. I was in the bathroom, clipping my toe nails when this came on. I started clipping my toenails to the beat of this song which, to be honest, surprised me that was played by Green Day, a California-based punk rock band formed in 1987.* Anyway, on with the show.

Here is Green Day's 2009 hit, "21 Guns."

"Koochie-koo!"

If anybody remembers the late '70s (I doubt you do) or if you've watched "Saturday Night Fever," disco was a big part of mainstream culture at the time. I guess it was the same in Europe, where duo Baccara sung the days away with disco hits to boot.

For your enjoyment, here is Baccara's 1977's hit "Koochie-Koo."

"La ilusión" (The Illusion)

I've never really listen to Spanish artists, mainly because that I don't like the genre of music they play in. But I've always found ballads in Spanish really fantastic, and with Emmanuel, it's no exception. He's has a great voice that, in my opinion, can blow the pants off anyone.

For your listening pleasure, Emmanuel's "Al Final (In the End)."

"She Can't Shoot Whiskey"

I can remember hearing this on the radio while in the bathroom. I actually heard it twice in one day and found myself singing it in the car. Angelic voice! Anyway, after scuttling my way through the lyrics and after finding out the name from this past Sunday's telecast of "Family Guy," I'm proud to present this song for your enjoyment.

Here's Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats."
