TMBG 30 Day Challenge: Day Eighteen

18) A TMBG song you didn’t like at first but now can’t imagine life without (it had to grow on you)

I don’t think there are any songs I actively didn’t like and love now, but every once in awhile there are ones that I’m fairly indifferent to and end up getting really into. I suppose it most recently happened with “Snail Shell”—I used to think it was so dumb that it was the single because it wasn’t terribly exciting, and then one day a couple years ago it just suddenly clicked with me and now it’s one of my repeat songs. Usually my opinions on songs don’t change that dramatically, though.

TMBG 30 Day Challenge: Day Six

6) One of your favorite songs sung by someone who is neither John or John

Nothing immediately springs to mind for this—not into the kids’ stuff (though Danny’s songs are cute and all), and that’s a lot of the non-Johns stuff. Most of the songs I really really love that I can think of by other people are actually Mono Puff. “Untitled” is on the “Sung by other people” page on the wiki and I’m tempted to answer that cos it’s THE BEST but it’s not technically sung. Well, “O Do Not Forsake Me” amuses me quite a bit, so I’ll go with that one I suppose. When I was in high school my good friend April and I would sing it (and also “Doctor Worm”) in the band hall sometimes.
