So Jism is trying to compile a list of Backer songs so she can relive her favorite Backer memories (like that time she danced on the floor with Seabass -- so much for her pub crawl shirt). I really got to thinking about it, and I only came up with a few. So I enlisted the help of Alaska and Crowley. Crowley then elisted "Aero Kat," someone I don't believe I know, but am forever endebted to.Here's the list so far. Feel free to add some on. And tell me which one's are wrong.
- Livin' on a Prayer (Bon Jovi)
- You Give Love a Bad Name (Bon Jovi)
- Country Roads (John Denver)
- Rocky Top (some Tennessean. Methinks Dolly Parton)
- Oh What a Night (?)
- Brandy (?)
- Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond)
- Pianoman (Billy Joel)
- Come On Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Runners)
- You Don't Have To Call Me Darlin' (David Allen Coe)
- Friends in Low Places (Garth Brooks)
- I Love This Bar (?)
- Chicago - It's My Kind of Town (Frank Sinatra)
- Proud To Be An American (?)
- Notre Dame Victory March (Shea Bros.)
- Glory Days (Bruce Springsteen)
- Pink Houses (John Mellencamp)
- Small Town (John Mellencamp)
- Jack & Diane (John Mellencamp)
- Only the Good Die Young (Billy Joel)
- Brown-eyed Girl (Van Morrison)
- Any Way You Want It (Journey)
- Don't Stop Believin' (Journey)
- Moondance (Van Morrison)
- Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash)
These I'm not sure about:
- You Shook Me All Night Long (AC/DC)
- Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw (Jimmy Buffett)
- When I Think About You I Touch Myself (?)
Now all we need is some Backer Juice that will inadvertently appear on our clothes after listening to said playlist. Good times, good times.

Man, go Kristine. And "aero Kat" is actually the girl who stayed on the Animal House couch for a few weeks, the summer before you went to Purdue.
I think my "Backer songs" are a little different than some of yours. You probably don't even know that song "Dragostea din tei" by O-Zone. It was our senior years' version of Tunak. And it is awesome. I knew it hit big when I heard it while waiting on my wings at a restaurant in Houston.
To be honest, I tried avoiding the "flavor-of-the-year" Backer songs as they are not timeless and do not capture the true nature of the Backer experience. So suck it, Dragostea din tei.
I was at backer last weekend and thought of two others
Walkin on Sunshine
Dancin on the Ceiling
And Goat, you were at the Fiddler's part of my 21st that summer, so I'll be very hurt if you don't at least pretend to remember me!
