We are going back in to time…
HIGH SCHOOL JAMS!
Slightly revised rules — just for this week:
Something Old: a song that was at least 5 years old WHILE YOU WERE IN HS that you listened to
Something Current: a song that was your jam at some point WHILE YOU WERE IN HS
Something to Consider: a song that you enjoyed and came out WHILE YOU WERE IN HS
Sense a theme? Okay, totaly dating myself here, but this was my HS playlist:
Something Old
Artist: Madonna
Title: Vogue
Side Note: For my fellow yoga friends that post on twitter, they know I like to say “strike a pose, there’s nothing to it” — THIS is why.
Quotable: “Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean. Picture of a beauty queen”
Something Current
Artist: Blackstreet ft. Dr. Dre and Queen Penn
Title: No Diggity
Side Note: Remember Lil’ Penny from the Nike commercials – voiced by Chris Rock? Yep, that was around this time, hence the puppet in the music video. I remember playing this song all the time. I had the single on CD. I think I paid 1.99 for it at Tower Records or Sam Goody… funny that the price hasn’t really changed too much now that we are in the future on iTunes.
Quotable: “By no means average. She’s on when she’s got to have it”
Something to Consider
Artist: Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz
Title: Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)
Side Note: Oh c’mon! You know you remember it. This was late 90s rap in it’s classic days. Tatyana Ali (Ashley from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) also had a single using this same beat — I’ve met her by the way and have her autograph somewhere. You’re welcome for the trip down memory lane.
Quotable: “Uptown is the place where I lay my dome. On the streets of the Bronx where my family roam.”
There you have it. Now you know the era when I was in high school. Actually, the humor is that when I was in highschool, a playlist didn’t really exist. We had mix tapes for quite some time, but it was also around the time when CD burners were making their first appearance. Crazy, right?
Don’t forget to check out the other PLAYLISTS posted on the Catalogue page…
don’t forget to add your link!
I also set it up so you can customize you post with a new color badge.
Does this make you feel old, young or a fellow classmate?
What was your high school jam?

This made me feel a wee bit old, haha. I LOVED that song by Blackstreet. It was (and still is) a good one!! Great list once again!
Vogue is a classic and Miss Gaga will never have what it takes to create that masterpiece ;)
hahaha. this might be your best list yet! Madonna. oh lawwwwd… that might just have to be added to my itunes right now!
Madonna was all the rage when I was in HS – don’t know if this puts me in the old or classmate category?!
Oooooh snap! I totally forgot about #DejaVu!
I will forever be in love with No Diggity. Funny how some songs can bring you right back to high school. This is one of them. :)
A, no diggity, no doubt
No Diggity!!! Love it!!! Remember Jock Jams? We used to warm up to that before soccer games!!!
Love Madonna! I love how my middle-school daughter knows a lot of my high school favorites – although many have been covered by new bands and she has no idea of the original.
No diggity!
I loved Ace of Base: The Sign.
Oh my favorite music will always be from the 60’s British Invasion…yes. THAT old.
Really awesome jams PV… my HS tunes are so old, they’re now available in MuZak format… I often hear them while riding the elevator.
It makes me feel young. Eeek. Good post though. :)
Definitely makes me feel old because these are even beyond my time in HS! LOL I just did a Playlist Thursday of my own for the first time – what a blast!!!! How do I link it back to you?

Back in the day, I was pretty certain Peter Gunz would fall in love with me if he ever met me….just sayin’….
T.
High school was all about the mix tape. I kind of miss them. Vogue is such a classic.
No Diggity is still one of my top 10 favorite songs!! And Vogue is just pure classic!
