Mumomoment: Chenille's Surprising LSS Hits

While we wait on Trueasiatic's Mumomoment Hiphop Songs, let's have my sister Chenille's surprising LSS list.

The list is a shock to me because I never expected that this girl who grew up listening to post-grunge rock would appreciate mellow songs. At talagang nakakanta pa niya hanggang makatulog.

LSS does not have a registered diagnosis code but it's considered a syndrome because we tend to repeat the last song we hear. I usually remember jologs songs because of the maka-masa radio stations that play beautiful songs like that Pusong Bato. Bisit.

Going back, enjoy the ride from our first teenage contributor! ♥

MUMOMOMENT HIT #5: LOVE SONG by SARA BAREILLES

The first time I heard this song was when I was on my way to work. On the jeepney. On the bus. Everywhere. Well, ain't this better than that Bieber song?

FAVE LINE: You are not what I thought you were | Hello to high and dry

SARA FACT:  Sara peed her pants when she got the chance to share the stage with Stevie Wonder. She has terrible grammar.

SARA QUOTE: "Bob Marley created music that makes me want to be a better human being."

MUMOMOMENT HIT #4: THAT GIRL by ALL TIME LOW

Not really familiar with the band nor the song, but I think this is going to give me LSS for the entire week. LOL

FAVE LINE: Sit around waiting for the spark to fade | You can add another face to your pity parade

ALL TIME LOW FACT: The band's name is taken from lyrics in the song "Head on Collision" by New Found Glory.

MUMOMOMENT HIT #3: LEGO HOUSE by ED SHEERAN

I am very proud to say that I am one of Chenille's musical influences. See, she teaches me new songs! Super like!

FAVE LINE: And it's dark in a cold December | but I've got ya to keep me warm | and if you're broken I will mend ya | and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now


ED FACT: Elton John is a big fan of Sheeran's music. In October 2011, Elton even convinced Sheeran to pose naked for a charity catalogue.


ED QUOTE: "I had a little bit of a chat and kind of had an epiphany, like 'Wow, this is exactly what I want to do!' I got home that night and wrote a whole bunch of songs. I remember one was called 'Typical Average Teen.' Yeah, I was one of those."

MUMOMOMENT HIT #2: 2 BECOME 1 by SPICE GIRLS

I've never seen it coming! This became popular when I was in high school (I guess) and after a few years, it's still popular with teenagers! Get it on, get it on!

FAVE LINE: Are you as good as I remember baby, get it on, get it on | 'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

SPICY FACT:  Emma Bunton replaced Michelle Stephenson, who left the group, citing that she didn't fit in with the other girls. Sorry, Michelle. :P

MUMOMOMENT HIT #1: CLOSE TO YOU by THE CARPENTERS

I really never expected a girl, who grew up with gazillions of music genres around her, would trace her roots and love a song from the 70s! Mega Like!

FAVE LINE: Why do stars fall down from the sky | Every time you walk by? | Just like me, they long to be | Close to you

KAREN CARPENTER FACT: After the Carpenters became successful during the early 1970s, she and her brother bought two apartment buildings in Downey, California and called them "Close To You" and "Only Just Begun". Today, the Close To You Apartments can still be located at 8365 East 5th Downey California.

Maan Armada's Top 5 Mumomoment Hits

It is still raining all over the metro but nothing, AND I MEAN NOTHING, can stop us from MUMOMOMENTing.

This chillaxing Sunday we are featuring Maryanne Armada's Top 5 Mumomoment Hits.

Maan's got a CHICK list -- a cool list of songs for all 'em ladies. Thank you for contributing, Maan!

MUMOMOMENT # 5 - SWAY by BIC RUNGA

Girl's ultimate favorite videoke song. Easy tempo, nice lyrics, cool tune. If forced to sing, girls will definitely choose this...


FAVE LINE: I fall into an ocean of you | Pull me out in time | Don't let me drown

WIKI TRIVIA: 'You say it Bec, rather than Bic,' explains New Zealand singer-songwriter Bic Runga. 'It's Chinese, it's a strange vowel sound which doesn't seem to translate in Australia. It means the colour of jade, which might mean green.'"The "strange vowel" is a checked tone. For the meaning of "colour of jade", Bic is "碧" in Chinese characters.

MUMOMOMENT # 4 - WISH YOU WERE HERE by AVRIL LAVIGNE

What I love about her is that she sticks to her genre. Even if she's too old for baby pop rock. Even if she's already divorced. And I still love the fact that she still doesn't care about smeared make up.

FAVE LINE: All those crazy things you said | You left them running through my head | You're always there, you're everywhere | But right now I wish you were here

WIKI TRIVIA: Lavigne made a conscious effort to keep her music, and not her image, at the forefront of her career. "I'm just saying, I don't want to sell sex. I feel that's sort of lame and low. I've got so much more to say."

MUMOMOMENT # 3 - SAVE ROOM by JOHN LEGEND

The very sexy John Legend at number 3. Can't blame Maan. Anything John Legend IS hot. Really hot. Did I say John IS HOT? :)

FAVE LINE: This just might hurt a little | Love hurts sometimes when you do it right | Don't be afraid of a little bit of pain | Pleasure is on the other side

JOHN TRIVIA: "I always loved the feeling when people responded to my singing and playing," John admitted. "I was ambitious and just loved being onstage."


MUMOMOMENT # 2 - SHIMMER by FUEL

This song is a wonderful surprise. I didn't know that Maan actually listens to Fuel. Maan, you so sexy! You already! ♥

FAVE LINE: She says that love is for fools that fall behind | And I'm somewhere in between | I never really know | A killer from a savior | 'Til I break at the bend

FUEL TRIVIA: Fuel is a post grunge band which became popular for their single Hemorrhage released in 2000. The band was formed in 1989. Thanks to the elite TN for nourishing these kids.

MUMOMOMENT # 1 - BUILT TO LAST by MELEE

This sounds so '90s, thanks to the lyrics. I love the way the band arranged it. I ice them. Already! ♥ Youtube's RedRockerFan1982 says: "This is gonna be my wedding song in October For Sure!!!!" Well, let's quote Facebook: LIKE!

FAVE LINE: 'Cause this is real, and this is good | It warms the inside just like it should | But most of all most of all, it's built to last

MELEE TRIVIA: Mêlée is an indie/pop punk band from Orange County in CA. Contradicting to the band's feel-good sound, melee means a noisy riotous fight or brawl in French. Like them literally on Facebook: Click me to Melee-fy.


Thanks to: Wiki and Youtube for being willing to be abused; MetroLyrics, Lyrics007 and AZLyrics for, obviously, the lyrics; AceShowbiz for the other trivia; and again, to MaryAnne Grace Armada for sharing her list (and full name) to all of us.

Top 13 Feel-Good Songs While You're Damp

Welcome to Mumomoment Hits Official Home Page. Yay! ♥

This time around, we are very much open to suggestions, comments and rantings. You can send me a message through Facebook and no, I don't give out money.

This is a very special day for Mumomoment Hits because this is my first blog since I had this account in 2007. Secondly, the list is from the people that I work with, my 2nd family in APAC, Wave 41. It's a very momentous event so let's have the... (insert drum roll)

TOP 13 SONGS THAT WE LOVE TO HEAR WHILE IT'S RAINING!

or

TOP 13 RAINY DAY SONGS!

or

TOP 13 FEEL-GOOD SONGS WHILE YOU'RE DAMP 

Whatever...

MUMOMOMENT HIT #13: RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS by THE CARPENTERS

From Mommy Lhen. We know Mondays always get us down; I don't agree with the rainy days, though. This is a feel-good song while you're drinking coffee and procrastinating in going to work while everyone's diving on pools of mud along the sidewalks. 

FAVE LINE: Talking to myself and feeling old | Sometimes I'd like to quit | Nothin' ever seems to fit | Hangin' around | Nothing to do but frown | Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

MUMOMOMENT HIT #12: THE LOOK OF LOVE by DUSTY SPRINGFIELD

My request. Though Diana Krall is an amazing singer, no doubt about that. But, as a Youtube subscriber described it, "Smoldering . . many girls try but there's no equal". 

FAVE LINE: Be mine tonight | Let this be just the start | Of so many nights like this | Let's take a lover's vow | And then seal it with a kiss

MUMOMOMENT HIT #11: PUMAPATAK NA NAMAN ANG ULAN by APO HIKING SOCIETY

 From Martin, ang hari ng pusong bato. Literally damp. But yeah, it is a feel-good song. Sheesh! Why is it getting hotter?

FAVE LINE: Laklak ng laklak ng beer magdamagan | May kahirapan at di maiwasan | Mabuti pa kaya, matulog ka na lang | At baka sumakit ang tiyan

MUMOMOMENT HIT #10: WATERFALLS by TLC

From Kuya Nil. And I very much agree. This is also great for city driving. Oh yeah. Whatever the song means. LOL

FAVE LINE: I seen rainbow yesterday | But too many storms have come and gone | Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray | Is it because my life is ten shades of gray


MUMOMOMENT HIT #9: BREAKDOWN by MARIAH CAREY featuring KRAYZIE BONE & WISH BONE

From Maan. Other than sexy time, Mariah Carey songs are also relaxing. Who disagrees? She's THE Mariah! Oh dear, the lyrics slapped me. Hard.

FAVE LINE: But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind | Underneath a disguise of a smile | Gradually I'm dying inside


MUMOMOMENT HIT #8: SOMETHING ABOUT US by BALANCE AND THE TRAVELING SOUNDS

From Valeria. A few covers that I liked. And still like. And will like. :) Jazz is feel-good, yes? But I still ♥ Daft Punk.

FAVE LINE (Man, it only got a few!): It might not be the right time | I might not be the right one | But there's something about us | I want to say | 'Cause there's something between us anyway

MUMOMOMENT HIT #7: PYRAMID by CHARICE featuring IYAZ

From Macee, the Jenga Queen. To each her own. Not a fan of Charice nor Iyaz. Well, her voice is kinda cute in this song, in fairness to her.

FAVE LINE: And even when the wind is blowing | We'll never fall, just keep on going | Forever we will stay | Like a pyramid

MUMOMOMENT HIT #6: MANHATTAN by KINGS OF LEON

From Mikey Bikey, the ultimate guitar hero. Not a huge fan of Kings of Leon, well, not this song. But the voice is a surprise. For a young man. Yes. It's like he doesn't sound how he looks like. I don't know what I'm saying.

FAVE LINE: We're gonna hunt to kill gonna skin the hide | A yelp and scream and away I ride | And every drop that spills on every plot of ground | It's all for you for what you found

MUMOMOMENT HIT #5: WISH YOU WERE HERE by INCUBUS

From Martin again. I don't need to explain. Boyd in the house. ♥♥♥!!!


FAVE LINE: The world's a roller coaster | And I am not strapped in | Maybe I should hold with care | But my hands are busy in the air saying | I wish you were here 


MUMOMOMENT HIT #4: SMILE by AVRIL LAVIGNE

 From Ate Eds. I'm not sure if this is the Smile she's looking for but this is the other Smile I know. Anyway, I like Avril's hair on the vid. ♥


FAVE LINE: And that's why I smile, it's been a while | Since every day and every thing has felt this right | And now you turned it all around | And suddenly you're all I need, the reason why I smile

MUMOMOMENT HIT #3: A DROP IN THE OCEAN by RON POPE

 From Ate Churva. My new favorite song. I want this song to be sung on my wedding. That's how beautiful it is.


FAVE LINE: It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert | But I'm holding you closer than most | 'Cause you are my heaven | You are my heaven

MUMOMOMENT HIT #2 HEARTBEAT by CHRIS BROWN 

From Maan again. I am not an RnB fan but I like this song. So rainy day. Sigh. This song is controversial because allegedly, Chris Brown is not the original singer but Basim from Denmark. Well, whoever it is, I hope you get the credit.


FAVE LINE: I never meant to throw your love away | Took it for granted there's nothing else to say | I got it bad, so bad | Tell me what to do, girl, to get you back


NOTE: I am not a tomboy. :P


MUMOMOMENT HIT #1: OFFICIALLY MISSING YOU by TAMIA

FTW, from Ate Cel. Don't deny it, you sing this song when it's raining. I do, too! 


FAVE LINE: Well I wish that you would call me right now | So that I could get through to you somehow | But I guess it's safe to say, baby | Safe to say | That I'm officially missing you

Whew! That's a wrap!
