Aquila Online

Aquila pronounced AK-weh-lah, uh-KWILL-uh or even a-kee-laa, means eagle in Latin. Just like the eagle, this blog is my “bird’s eye view” on situations or topics that I happen to come across in my life.

The Most Unusual Song

// March 23rd, 2005 // General // 1,657 views

With little over 6,000 songs in my collection at an average track length of 4 minutes, this translates to approximately 400 hours of music. It will take me around 17 days (playing for 24 hours a day) to go through every single song without one being repeated.

Obviously one is bound to forget 98% of the songs in your collection, so it was no surprise to find songs I’ve probably never heard before in my life, let alone knew I had in my collection. But that’s not the point of this post.

The question is, in your collection there’s bound to be a couple of unusual songs. I think my unusual song for the day must be ‘Sneaker Pimps – Cute Sushi Lunches‘. Trawl through your music collection and let me know some of your most unusual songs.

PS: I hear that approximately 90% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

   Mine’s probably “Grandma’s Feather Bed” (Freedom), simply because I couldn’t find “Nelly the Elephant”!

   I’m approaching 15gig worth of bootlegged music, that’s about a gajillion mp3′s.

   So, there are a LOT of songs I’ve never heard, although stubled onto a classic the other day “Ice Ice Baby”. Memories of Std 2 flood to my mind *sob*.

   Hmmm… Of the 44GB of music(over 12500 songs) I guess there could be a few songs (or bands) that I haven’t heard yet.

   Earlier I found Leon Schuster’s “Hie Kom die Bokke”.

   The weirdest band I found was one called “Half Man, Half Biscuit” with songs like:All I Want For Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit(?), On Passing Lilac Urine and When You’re the Driver of a Train.

   How ’bout anything off Thomas Dolby’s album Aliens Ate My Buick. The song “She Blinded me with Science” comes to mind.
