Jaxx Recommends...Songs about Celebrity Crushes

One of the problems with living alone is that the silence can become overwhelming. This has developed a bad habit of mine to turn the TV on as background noise most of the time that I'm home. I often end up watching bad TV because of this, though I'm usually (as I was last night) reading at the same time. There's nothing like an evening of silly TV, romance novels and ice cream. Anyways, last night there was seriously NOTHING on that I wanted to watch and hadn't seen multiple times or have on DVD, so I ended up watching America's Got Talent. And it was surprisingly HILARIOUS. Needless to say, there are plenty of freaks in America, way more than people with true talent, I think. But this guy (though definitely not the best singer/performer of the bunch) amused me in a good way. And reminded me of one of my favorite singers of all time: Bree Sharp. I still remember sitting in the auditorium of Drake University in Des Moines with my mock trial teammate and friend listening to A Cheap and Evil Girl on her cd player. "David Duchovny" is the song that got me hooked on her, so it's only right that I post it here along with the song by David Johnson that everyone (and I know the editors flashed the photo of David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson together for exactly this reason) thought was just a so-so song about a some random celebrity crush, but luckily Sharon Osbourne held off on pressing her buzzer long enough for the surprise to be revealed. I still can't believe he actually made it on, but I thought it was a great lesson to see the two who pressed their no way buzzers be the ones to vote yes, and the one person who didn't be the one to vote no. And I'll finish this off with the question: What is it about men named David? (Though for the record, I've never understood anyone's attraction to David H.)

  1. Here is your comment! I hope you do get the David Duchovny thing though... I mean from the X-Files days, of course. I'm not even sure who David H is. No really, other than someone they link all the time on the internet.

  2. Yes, Sarah. I understand why people like David Duchovny. I was merely laughing at the fact that not only were both songs about "Davids" but that the guy singing the one song was also named David. And David Hasselhoff is an actor? He was on Baywatch and in a bunch of movies?
