So the other day, Web Watch was having some drinks with friends when the topic of party music came up.
Of course, we all broke out singing Red Solo Cup
Which only prompted us to sing the song louder and at every available opportunity.
And that’s when the conversation shifted from FUN PARTY SONGS to WORST SONGS FOR STRIPPERS TO DANCE TO.
The overall winner?
Want to hear how music has changed over the past 40 years?
After all, music didn’t start with Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.

Quick – how many of you sing while in the shower?
Oh, don’t lie. We all know that over 55% of you do it (we’ve seen the studies). Besides, MAY 15th is NATIONAL SING IN THE SHOWER DAY, so you better be prepared.
But the bigger question is, WHAT SONGS DO YOU CHOOSE TO SING IN THE SHOWER?
Well, leave it to Web Watch to compile the ULTIMATE LIST OF SHOWER SONGS for you to consider the next time you decide to pop in for a quick rinse:

The other day, Web Watch was talking with an Internet-savvy friend of ours about the cool stuff we see online, and they surprised us by not knowing anything about the latest smartphone gaming craze, DRAW SOMETHING.
Seriously? The game has been out for over 2 months now, been all over the news. And while we haven’t explicitly mentioned it here, we figured that many of our faithful Web Watch readers had already installed it over their copy of Angry Birds.
What it really showed us was that our friend was living in their own little bubble world that they had created, to isolate themselves from the ‘net fluffernutter so they could concentrate on the really good stuff.
You know, kinda like what we do here every day at Web Watch.

Web Watch has talked about the WORST EARWORMS EVER, but did you know that there are ongoing studies to really identify what causes earworms?
You do know what an earworm is, don’t you?
For those of you knew to the terminology – an earworm is just a fancy word that defines what happens when a song gets stuck in your head. The theme for “it’s a small world” is often cited as the worst offender, but we know better.
You have a large collection of CDs and albums, right?
And you’ve spent many a night, listening to album after album while studying those album and CD covers for inspiration of what the band was feeling like at the time the album was made.
You know, so you could really connect with the band, the same way that music was connecting with you.
Everybody has a “free pass” list.
That’s the list of celebrities that if, given the opportunity to do so, your significant other would allow you to have a personal encounter with (whether the ground rules state that it’s limited to just a kiss or something more naked and involved is up to the individuals making the pact).
The theory is that nobody would ever really have a shot at hooking up with a celebrity, so coming up with your Top Five fantasy hookups is really more for fun than anything else.
We all know the typical Hot Celebrities that everybody seems to put down on their lists: George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt. (Yawn – can you get more boring and predictable?)

Village People – Can’t Stop the Music
Nobody can deny that disco music is, well, just plain fun.
It may have been the height of cheese back in the day when it was new, but there’s something special about hearing those synth riffs and rock flute over a hip-shaking beat that just makes you want to move your booty.
So here’s one person who mashed up today’s hits from Adele, Enrique Iglesias, David Guetta, Timbaland, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taio Cruz, and others with a little bit of that 70′s disco beat that can just get your feet moving.
Hear the tunes after the break…
Innovate the Pixar Way:
Business Lessons from the World’s Most Creative Corporate Playground
Web Watch is always amazed at the creativity that the Internet has sparked.
Maybe that creativity and innovation has always been there, but the Internet has certainly made finding these things more exciting and accessible to all.
So when we stumbled upon this remix of audio clips from the FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR, we thought that we’d take a look to see what else POGOMIX has done.
And that’s when we discovered this treasure trove of audio remixes from various DISNEY and PIXAR films. Watch below, and enjoy…

So Web Watch is in the process of packing up some of our video game systems and putting them away. The PS2 and Xbox Classic are no longer needed, and don’t even get us started on the TurboGrafx or Sega Genesis that were also taking up precious shelf space.
We’ll leave the Wii and PS3 where they are as we still use those regularly, as we anxiously await the long-rumored Xbox 720 to come out to replace the Xbox 360.
So what does all this mean? We’re not the only ones with older gaming systems still hanging around and being used.
But what are they being used for? It’s not always what you think.

Remember how much fun Napster was, back in the day?
Yeah, well Napster is officially gone now.
What about LimeWire? KaZaa? Yeah, you shouldn’t be using those either.
Nope, whether you agree with the legalities (or lack thereof) of those sites, none of the old fun “file sharing” apps and websites are valid anymore, thanks to the movie and music industry.
And the proliferation of $0.99 songs and apps on the iTunes store. That kinda helped a little bit.
Of course, you always have that peer-to-peer sharing via BitTorrent, which is a legitimate way to legally share giant files amongst people who need them. Unfortunately, a few bad apples had to go and ruin BitTorrent for everyone else too, by using BT as a way to throw around pirated movies and music.

Have you ever snuck into a concert?
Web Watch has been lucky enough to have seen pretty much every major artist we’ve ever wanted to see play in concert.
Kenny Rogers? Check.
U2? Check.
Neil Diamond? Check.
Village People? You betcha.
And for the most part, we had tickets or passes for every show. Now, we’ll admit that there may have been one or two where we did end up having to finagle our way into a venue or two, but we swear that we had a legitimate right to be there to justify our sneakiness.
Just because we didn’t have a ticket at the time doesn’t mean that we didn’t know where we could get one.
