Wait, you're listening to what?

In high school I went through a music elitist phase. I was that girl who would "find" new underground alternative bands, get really territorial about being a "real fan" and then stop listening to said band if they made it onto the TRL countdown because they were too mainstream. Whoops. I also bought a lot of black, band t-shirts from Hot Topic. Double Whoops.


Ever since then, I've done a complete 180 because now people make fun of the music I listen to on a daily basis. My music taste is comprised up of mostly Top 40, 80s pop, and popular country. I try not to judge anyone else because I did in fact go to the Britney Spears concert last summer and  it was awesome. Duh. 


HOWEVER, at work I sit next to Dwayne. Dwayne is a 40 something year old nerdy white man who some people say resemble Drew Carey. Dwayne likes to listen to his music at a reasonable volume (See: Office Space) through his iPod speakers. Dwayne's music is probably most bizarre compilation of music I have ever heard. Instead of describing in detail how amusing I find Dwayne and his music (because let's face it...I could go on forever), I'm just going to list popular songs he listens to all day every day, for 6 hours a day....for the past 6 months. 


He also bangs on his desk to the wrong beat of each song. Sometimes he bangs on my desk. 

I would become annoyed at this behavior if it wasn't so freaking funny.

Disclaimer: sorry to offend anyone's music taste. But, you should probably reevaluate your music taste if you listen to all of these songs in this order on a daily basis. Seriously.
