The Road Not Taken: Schadenfreude Sounds So Sweet

My Top Fifty Favorite Songs

I have been so busy being the coolest bitch on the planet that my poor blog has fallen by the wayside. My life is not interesting enough to talk about on a regular basis, so I have come up with a way to blog with a purpose. Not a staggering life-altering purpose, but a purpose nonetheless. A while back I brought up the amazing website Songfacts and our tendency to vote on anything and everything that comes to mind. I've decided to randomly go through the list of my Top Fifty Favorite Songs and tell you why I love each song and what part it has played in my life. I will report that I have extremely varied and odd taste in music, from the almighty Tenacious D to Etta James to Run DMC to Rick mother fucking Astley. You may read the original post here. And don't worry, we've done a second Top Fifty since that post so you've got at least 100 golden nuggets to look forward to.

The definition of the German word schadenfreude translates to taking pleasure in others' misfortune. I am a bitter, cold hearted bitch; therefore, the idea of cackling like a wild woman at Joe Blow's misery is right up my alley.
