30-Day Song Challenge Day 22: A Song That You Haven’t Listened To In A While

Hello all, yes I know I’m another day behind (darn homework), but like usual I’ll post day 22 and 23 tonight. Sound good? Great – Let’s get into more music! As soon as I read today’s prompt I immediately had this one figured out. It’s actually the entire soundtrack from a movie which you can probably tell which one by the cover picture, but I used to throw this on in the background during my childhood. It’s sat on my shelf with the dust bunnies since 😥 AH MY INNER CHILD, SEND HELP

From Pokemon: The First Movie, Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture (aka soundtrack)

Feel free to browse the soundtrack and be reminded of Pokemon’s beginnings, even though most of these songs have nothing to do with the franchise 😛 ***Asteriks will indicate my favorites BTW (we loved the upbeat jams)

1. ***Pokémon Theme – Billy Crawford
2. Don’t Say You Love Me – M2M
3. It Was You – Ashley Ballard and So Plush
4. We’re a Miracle – Christina Aguilera
5. ***Soda Pop – Britney Spears
6. Somewhere Someday – *NSYNC
7. ***Get Happy – B*Witched
8. ***(Hey You) Free Up Your Mind – Emma Bunton
9. Fly With Me – 98 Degrees
10. ***Lullaby – Mandah
11. *****Vacation – Vitamin C
12. Makin’ My Way (Any Way That I Can) – Billie
13. *****Catch Me if You Can – Angela Via
14. ***(Have Some) Fun with the Funk – Aaron Carter
15. If Only Tears Could Bring You Back – Midnight Sons
16. Brother My Brother – Blessid Union of Souls

Holy crap, the nostalgia is destroying me. Everyday during my pre-teen years, my brother and sister and I would hike up into the top bunk of my bed, which had no mattress. Why? Because it was the “Pokeclub,” a group of us three that met every summer morning, bright ‘n early, to make Pokemon-related paper crafts that I designed. We’d laugh, draw, watch episodes on tape (and DVDs when they later came out) and of course, love POKEMON! But this soundtrack was our morning bell; each day, I’d plug in the disc (or rather just hit play) and the famous anthem would blare down the halls, signaling to everyone that the club activities were about to commence. We’d bring our Pop-Tarts and cereal and start coloring, and that was that. How much I wish I could turn back the stubborn hands of time 😀

And there’s a trip down memory lane! See you in the next post ~
