Songs on Repeat

Today, U2 drops their new album, No Line in the Horizon, and will hopefully sell more copies than Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy, etc. combined.  Five star reviews and a week-long promotional appearance on Letterman will hopefully lead to . . .gasp. . . a tour. . .  But, in the tradition of the catchy iTunes-commercial song, I have had to download and keep "Get on Your Boots" on repeat for the last few days.  It starts my day, helps me keep my pace on the treadmill, etc.  The song actually inspired me to wear "sexy boots" to work.
Now, for the embarrassing part.  I am totally addicted to this dumb song, "Burning Up", by, yes, the Jonas Brothers.  I finally had to download it, after I watched them perform it (I was with my younger, teenage cousins).  I love all two minutes and 57 seconds of this song.  As a woman, I want nothing more than for some guy, to sing in that whiny, lovesick voice that I make him "burn up" for me.  I don't know their names, and frankly, they are not the best singers.  However, this is really a great pop song, with a sweet innocence reminiscent of the early Beatles or Elvis Presley songs.
