Song of the Day - Milkshake - Kelis

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...


I've been going through a lot of my iPod lately, listening to stuff I haven't listened to in a long time, Some of my favorite music folders like Christina Aguilera and Gnarles Barkley, Gorillaz, R&B Faves, Janet Jackson and Jody Watley. In today's world of perennially downloading rapid-fire new music, it's easy to forget some of the great stuff you've already got in your collection, and so once in awhile I delve into my device a little deeper to rediscover all the great stuff I often forget existed.  

Yesterday I was listening to my Kelis folder.  I've become such a fan of the singer in recent years starting with her 2010 single, Acapella.  Before that song I'd only known of her really through her very first smash, 2003's Milkshake, in which teased and catcalled her way to a top ten hit.  At the time, she appeared to be simply a one-dimensional singer.  But that is definitely not the case.  Though she really hasn't matched the success of that down n dirty classic, her catalog runs deep with some great, great stuff, which was what I had been listening to before I got to this one, which I had forgotten about, stuck at the bottom of my Kelis playlist, and all I can say is I had a lot of fun reliving it.  I hope you do, too....

Song of the Day - Rumble - Kelis


Here's a little bit of soul for your Monday morning, as Kelis delves into her emotions over the reappearance of an ex.  Go on girl!


I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
My keys

Song of the Day - Brave - Kelis



I've really been discovering Kelis lately, having recently downloaded her 2011 album Flesh Tone.  The entire album is quality stuff, and this one especially has got that melodramatic dance feel to it.  Love it!  And the video is so simple, yet cool itself.  Check it out...

Song of the Day - Bossy - Kelis


Today's song is one of my latest favorites.  Even though it was released in 2006, I never even heard it until about a month ago and it's been in regular rotation on my iPod ever since.  Admittedly I've never purchased a full Kelis album, but really she's got a lot of great quality songs that I like, so maybe I should try.  This one's just like some of her other hits: sassy, funky and very catchy! Check it out:

Flashback Friday Song of the Day - Milkshake - Kelis

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like
It's better than yours
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, 
But I have to charge


Ooh yeah, Kelis' very first big single was all the rage back in 2003, and it set off a whole lotta references and innuendos.  Great tune, and still gets me singing and dancing.  Happy Friday!

Song of the Day - Acapella - Kelis

While perusing my iPod on a long road trip, I came upon this song I had forgotten about. It's from R&B singer, Kelis, who's "Milkshake" rocked the house a few years back. I love this one...perfectly dramatic dance floor track with really nice vocals, too! Strange video, but at least it kinda keeps your attention. Happy Monday!
