You & Me - Theme Song of the 2008 Beijing Olympics

During the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman performed the song "You and Me." The studio recording of the song, performed by Huan & Brightman, is available for free to download. I love this song, Sarah Brightman has an amazing voice and the whole song promotes 'family,' just being peaceful in international situations. Check it out! :)

Successful Day!

Well, looking back on today, I accomplished quite a bit with this blog. ha ha I posted (I think) 5 posts, and a few more, but I deleted them because I didn't think they were that important. :)

Total Drama Island/Action Theme Song




I am in love with the Cartoon Network show "Total Drama Island" (/ Total Drama Action, the title for season 2). I love shows like Survivor, and Total Drama Island does that with cartoons... I just think that's hilarious. :) This is the link where you can download the show's theme song "I Wanna Be Famous" from the blog set up by the show's creators. If you can, check the show out Thursday nights at 9 pm. Enjoy!
And above are 2 different covers I made for it. :) Enjoy!

Mamma Mia & Dancing Queen Karaoke

Okay, so like my biggest passion ever is ABBA, including "Mamma Mia! The Movie." I am seriously obsessed with both. Anyway, here is the link to download the instrumental versions of Mamma Mia & Dancing Queen from the movie. I don't know how long they'll work, as the contest that they're for ended over a year ago, but as of today, they work!

Fabric of Our Lives


Cotton has a new advertising strategy where they brought in three artists and had them write a song about, well, cotton. Each song uses the same chorus, but reflects each artist's personal interpretations. The artists are Zooey Deschanel (from "Elf" & "500 Days of Summer", her song is the "pop-ish" version, and my favorite), Miranda Lambert (she's a country singer, so her's is the country version), & Jazmine Sullivan (who I believe is classified as "R&B," but I am not sure).

And above is the cover artwork I made for the EP. I just realized that I spelled Jazmine's name wrong, and am sorry!

"The Fruit Guys" EP


Ya know the commercials for Fruit of the Loom underwear where the guys dressed like fruit sing? Well, http://www.fruitguyfans.com/ offers them all for free! Check out the site and get the songs / lyrics. Above is the cover I made for the "EP", just because I'm a little OCD about having cover artwork for my music on iTunes. I wish I could have found a better picture, but that's all I could find. Anyone have anything else? :)
