Hairbands...

    Can I just start this post by writing...I LOVE HAIRBANDS! They are my guilty pleasure and weakness. Seriously, don't laugh-you know you love them too.  Whitesnake? Eddie Money (he may not count as a hairband but he rocks) Def Leppard, you name it.  They rock.  I mean anything that has a synthesizer in it seriously makes me want to drop everything and just rock out.  I have this dance that I so when I hear a great hairband song.  I obviously will not share with you, but it basically consists of a dance that looks much like a dance that Saved by the Bell's Kelly Kapowski would do at a Bayside dance.   Lots of stomps, hair swaying and snaps. (picture it.) Got it?  Okay, now lets look at some great songs by the artists I previously named in this post...

Def Leppard: Photograph

  Ok so great synth right?  You might think its cheesy at first listen, but listen to those awesome electric guitars that are played during the chorus!  Yeah, I lied before- there is more guitar on this song than synth and its great.   And how about the end of the song when lead singer Joe Elliot  hits that killer note.  The whole song just builds to one huge climax and thats the type of song that drives me wild. Take a moment and listen to the actual instruments mixed with passionate vocals and you may change your mind on this "cheesy" song.  Stop lying to yourself.  This song rocks and you know it.

Eddie Money: Walk on Water

    I said it before, Eddie Money doesn't necessarily count as a hairband I know, but they make me feel the same emotion that I feel when I listen to any hairband and that is...SEXY.  Too much? Maybe, but seriously that is what all of these songs make a girl feel.   I think its the lyrics.  Every girls wants to hear a guy say these things to them because it makes them feel sexy!  The guys in these hairbands sure know how to make a woman feel worshipped and desired.  Guys, take notes.  Even if you don't really mean the words-just say it....it may drive your lady insane. (in a good way of course)

Whitesnake: Now You're Gone

Ok, this is a song that my older sister makes fun of me for LOVING. This is the song where I break out the "Kelly Kapowski Dance".  Its amazing.  I do the dance and my sister just stares, rolls her eyes and laughs. Sad right?  Its so wrong that its right.  Again, plain and to the point lyrics that may seem predictable, but it is exactly what a girl wants to hear.  To relate this back to the first song by Def Leppard, it is a song that builds until the very end.  Listen to the electric guitar bridge and you will see what I mean.   Then it gets quiet and you get a simple vocal by lead singer David Coverdale and a synth.  Thats it.  That simplicity makes the "come back" as I call it, all the more exciting.  Ah words can not describe my love for this song.

So there you have it.  I have a weakness for hairbands and I am not ashamed to admit it.  Deep down, I believe that every woman does.  How can they not?!  And again boys...take notes!  This is how you woo a lady.
