If I'm in my car, in my bedroom, home alone, or home with 10 other people, at the zoo, in a restaurant, wherever, there is a 99% chance I am singing. And I don't mean humming and singing the words I know or mouthing the words like a lady. I mean I am screaming at the top of my lungs and dancing along.
Since I spend so much time singing, who better to give you a list of the best soundtracks? Without further ado, I give you (in no particular order)...my favorite soundtracks.
Grease
I grew up watching this movie at my great aunt's house and to this day I am still shocked when I hear that someone has never seen this gem. I could never pick my favorite Grease song because I would give them all a 23 gazillion on a scale of 1 to 10. If you are between the ages of 0 and 100 you pretty much need to know all the words to Grease Lightening. Grease is the word.
Les Mis
Let me begin by saying that I have not even had the pleasure of seeing this movie yet and I already have the soundtrack memorized. I read this book in high school and all I can tell you about the plot is France, but I can sing every line of One Day More. Just think about it, anything French that I don't loathe, must be pretty darn good.
One Tree Hill
I'm gonna go ahead and say that Peyton's taste in music is terrible. The Cure sucks. Sorry not sorry. But Haley had some great songs, the title track is practically the theme song of my generation, and Non Believer by La Rocca is pure happiness.
Wicked
Again, I have never been to New York nor have I had the pleasure of experiencing the fabulousness that is Idina Menzel in real life, but I know every word to Popular and Defying Gravity even though I can hit none of the notes. Kristin Chenoweth has more talent in her 4 feet than I do in my 3000 pounds.
The Little Mermaid
All little girls obviously love The Little Mermaid and I love Ariel just as much as the next girl, but Part of Your World and Kiss the Girl ain't got nothin on Under the Sea. How can you compete with a hot crustacean band? 20 bonus points to anyone who also loves Timeflies Tuesday's version of Under the Sea.
Pitch Perfect
This soundtrack is aca-awesome and the movie is aca-super fantastic. The Breakfast Club tie in, the mash-ups, the Skylar Astin. Swoon. In this case, the movie is actually just as good as the soundtrack. It's the new Mean Girls.
Tarzan
2 words. Phil. Collins. Phil Collins is a musical genius and hands down the world's best percussionist. His soundtracks always have a totally different, totally awesome sound. Who among us could not dance to Trashing the Camp for hours? Exactly.
Anastasia
I don't even know where to begin. It's all the best. Meg Ryan's voice is too perfect and you can't tell me that Dimitri wasn't based on Shane West. From A Rumor in St. Petersburg to At the Beginning as the credits are rolling, every song is worthy of royalty. Too bad in real life Anya is not Anastasia. Oh yeah, historical spoiler alert.
Degrassi
I know that this show is Canadian, but that's its only flaw. Not only has this show featured several bands and singers over the seasons, but the promo song for every new season automatically becomes my obsession for the next month. Steal Your Heart by Augustana in particular.
The Lorax
Another movie I have yet to see. We tried to show this movie at work and Netflix kept messing up, so we basically watched the first 5 minutes about 10 times. In that first 5 minutes is only the best song ever. I don't even know if there are any other songs in this movie, and I don't care because I can, and have, listened to Thneedville twice a day every day for a week.
