What’s more interesting than a Top 10 list? How about the one song folks would be surprised to hear blasting through your ear buds? The secret song that causes you to make sure no one else is listening?
I’ll even go first. It’s I’m Just a Little Black Rain Cloud from Winnie the Pooh. Why? Because Pooh Bear is a complete enigma. He can’t spell and he taps his head to think. But he has a profound understanding of others in his world. I wouldn’t mind being a little more like Pooh.
It’s these songs that tell more about us than any other. I say, embrace your inner ABBA! Hold your head high when you hum along to Hanson! Be proud of your Paris! As you can see below, you won’t be alone!

Laura K
MileHighStyle
Total Eclipse of the Heart – Bonnie Tyler“Being a musical promoter of local, mainly punk, metal and other stereotypically ‘young and loud teen-angst’ types, you might be surprised that I personally listen to more classic soft tunes. This song, and any track by Seal, get the most playtime for me!”
