Beyonce 2019

By On August 7, 2009 · 22 Comments · In Girls, Music, Will Smith

ORANGE ROUNDIE(If you wanted to let the Orange Roundie invade your personal Twitter space in support of WSM?, this is now entirely possible.

Check out @mfeige (who is pending due to Twitter hackage) and @NDEddieMac.)

There are many things that have been consuming my time this week – including putting together the @Brandi88 entries finally, and doing this interview with Canadian–person MCM.

More than anything, however, I’ve been scraping my hands against coarse objects trying to figure out where Beyonce’s career will stand in 2015. Ongoing icon of sorts like Diana Ross. Fallen idol like Whitney Houston. Constant reinvention like Madonna.

These are all possibilities, and with the rapid advances in gene therapy, it’s possible she could just be exactly like Beyonce in 2009, who just by chance, is exactly like Beyonce from 2006 and 2003.

What can’t be denied is that Beyonce has left a mark in music history because of Bootylicious, and whenever my girlfriend sings me a lullaby, this is the song I ask her to choose, along with all of the following:

1) Da Doo Ron Ron, The Crystals
2) Wild, Wild West, Will Smith
3) Welcome to the Terrordome, Public Enemy
4) Baby I Need Your Loving, The Four Tops
5) Big Empty, Stone Temple Pilots
6) Monday, Monday, Mama and the Papas
7) Sk8ter Boi, Avril Lavigne

I let her choose the order, but I threaten a permanent break-up if she doesn’t lullaby me each and every song in full.

What songs would you want to have lullabied at you if you were dating my girlfriend. Where do you think Beyonce’s career will be in 2019.

    look at dos guys wit dem roundies!

    my dad always read Calvin & Hobbes to me and my brother in bed. i've never gotten a lullaby before, so i don't even know what to ask for… :(

    maybe Ave Maria, but that's a hard one, so if she sucks at it… DONEZO!!

    Alf sounds like a lovely girl. Little Surfer by the Beach Boys is my pick.

    Alf has never not been found charming by girls.

    I prefer “I love rock n roll” by Joan Jett or “California Love” by Tupac Shakur to be sung to me while being tucked in

    duly noted, schmoopie!!

    No question in my mind… “Cat's in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin (or Ugly Kid Joe), because I find the depiction of the relationship between the boy and his father comforting and reassuring. Plus, the cat, in the cradle… that's safe.

    Also “De Doo Doo Doo, De Da Da Da” by the Police. Except for the bits about tying up and raping, this would make a delightful lullabye.

    On a serious note, there was much confusion: without my consent (and unbeknownst to me, mind you), my wife taught our 2 year old daughter to sing along with “All the Single Ladies”, and so, when bedtime rolls around, she (my daughter, not my wife) is raising the roof and singing “(up up up)”, which I naturally (and foolishly) interpreted as her wanting up; so I pick her up, cooing niceties and such, and she tosses me a look as if to say “stop being such a narc, I'm just trying to dance, asshole.”

    yep..If i'm still awake I call her on for an encore…bicycle by queen lol

    Just think – a year from now, she won't even remember that. You can totally start over fresh, and she'll respect you again. Thanks for the comments!

    The original version of California Love or the Remix? The remix tends to be more prevalent, but they are very different songs. And if you are referring to the remix to make sure that all the computer voices are done to the fullest?

    Why has no one commented on Beyonce 2019? I honestly have no idea because I stopped listening to new music like 2 years ago after following it very closely for the 3-4 years before that. But if I had to guess I'm gonna go with some kind of quiet. Whether it's quiet after a Brittany style meltdown or just like I'm having kids quiet I don't know. But if she continues at this pace there maybe some kind of explosion.

    Lullabies. Hmmm.

    Be – Common
    Anything by Jack Johnson (except for his latest album)
    To live and Die in L.A. – 2pac
    Hypnotize- Biggie
    Ordinary People – John Legend.

    Me and my sister used to play this game where we'd make up Beyonce songs. All you need is one sentence and you just run with it on a super-fast/hard beat for 3 minutes.

    Like “Run It Like a Cat-Style” could be a Beyonce song.

    Your girlfriend has some impressive range to go from Welcome to the Terrodome to Four Tops and Avril. Impressive. Also, I like my avatar all big like that, it looks so pretty. As for Beyonce, she will probably just continue to be mad rich and pop up in songs every now and then so long as she stays with Jay Z, they break up, things will get crazy.

    I think she will remake Thelma and Louise with Rihanna in 2019.

    That list of songs is amazing. I don't think I've ever loved that musically deep before…[sigh.]
    Is there an Orange Roundie song she can sing to you? It'd have a rubbery rhythm section, an overall synthetic composition. Some cowbell?

    I can sorta of hear it now.
    Makes me sleepy and a little turned on (which I'm embarrassed to mention.)

    *Matt looks cool*
