Alright folks, this spring break the music on the blog will be nothing but 80s music. You are welcome. So now you can quietly take your guilty pleasure with all of these classics. If there are any songs that you simply must have on here just comment and I'll put them on.
Daniel and I are going to Switzerland and you know what that means!!! Fun fact time.
Switzerland
- The CHF1,000 bill is the highest denomination note in the world.
- The average Swiss eats 23 lbs of chocolate per year compared to the 11.7 lbs consumed by each American annually.
- Most homes have bunkers, a result of Cold War concerns about nuclear war.
- James Bond's mother is Swiss.
- The popular typeface "Helvetica" was created in Switzerland and is named after the country's Latin name, Confoederatio Helvetica.
- Some 60% of Switzerland's electricity is produced by hydroelectric power.
- The song "Smoke on the Water" is about the smoke from a casino fire when Frank Zappa burned down a casino in Montreux.
- Swiss army knives are red so they can be seen i the snow.
- There are no Mosques in Switerland.
- Holes in Swiss cheese are caused by carbon dioxide gas given off by the bacteria and also provide flavor and fermentation. Fondue was originally a peasant meal that used up old bread and cheese.

ReplyDeleteTURN AROUND
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming round.
TURN AROUND
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
of listening to the sound of my tears.
TURN AROUND
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by.
TURN AROUND
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes.
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES
Every now and then I fall apart.
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES
Every now and then I fall apart.

ReplyDeletebut now I'm only falling apart.
There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.
Once upon a time there was light in my life
but now there's only love in the dark.
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart.
Hey Matt. The songs are a great idea for setting the mood. I know you and Daniel are excited about Switzerland. Jana and I are going to visit Jaime, Lilly, and Rorie [sp] for Easter. Hope you and Daniel have a great remaining Spring Break. Tell Switzerland hello for us. Maybe we will get to see Walter, too. Take care. JT
