Day 16 Song 16

Mariah Carey – Honey (Bad Boy Remix)

 

There are many Mariah songs that could fit in this position because she had a ton of pop friendly songs and to me the album Butterfly, where Honey came from was a change from her previous sound. There was a lot more Hip-Hop influence and it went with the time of everyone wearing goggles on their head and shiny suits (thanks Bad Boy) This was also the first Mariah album where I bought the singles first. I was getting tired of the typical “here's my crazy vocal range” adult contemporary tracks. Now it was here is a catchy sampled beat that compliments my crazy vocal range and here's some rap. Throw in the MTV influence and that was the easiest $2.99 made by Sony for the CD Single.

This was also one of those songs that was pushed for me by the music video. Mariah is playing a James Bond character while singing along with Puffy, Mase, and the Lox. It was a song that forced me to walk to the local Warehouse Music and pick up the CD Single. This is one of those songs that I would listen to while sitting in a drawing class on repeat, or listening to while walking back to my dorm.

 

What Chris Is Playing

(I didn't play much last week other than a quick mobile game while waiting or sitting on an airplane)

 

Mario Kart 7 – 3DS

 

I thought it would be fun to play this game again especially when I was on a flight. Originally I was going to play that Yoshi and Poochy game but I wanted something where I didn't have to concentrate on as much. I forgot how much fun this game is but at the same time how terrible the controls are. I wish there was an option to change the controls to the shoulder buttons.

 

Simpsons Tapped Out – iPad

 

I am just about done with the full town remodel and I hit Level 111. The current game for everyone is a trip theme and I missed most of it because I haven't been interested to take part. I did buy Mt. Fuji which is an odd mountain in the middle of my Springfield, but it's cool.

 

Disney Emoji Blitz – iPad

 

I unlocked two characters that I will probably not use and I realized a couple of my friends that play this game take it way too seriously. When I play, its cool to get the high score but I'm just trying to unlock the next set of emojis, but I'm not trying to get the high score every week.

 

Alright Pixlpeeps I am off. I need to get some things done.

 

That's all for now, more tomorrow!

-Chris

Funny, that's when I tapped out of Mariah Carey.  I wasn't a big fan of the hip-hoppy jam-pop music w/ a rap crammed in the end genre.  I enjoyed her original clean style more.

I really like the Mario Kart games.  I have fun with all of them, except the SNES and the N64 games.  I think everyone loves those but me.

I didn't care too much for the SNES Mariokart but I really dug the N64.

I'm the opposite. Wasn't much for Mario 64 anything, to be honest.

I'm with the video, but I'm not sure I'd like the song on its own. 

Is Mariah Carey without makeup in that jetski scene? Just wouldn't expect a pop star to let that happen. Maybe I didn't see it right. She does look good though.

How late in the 90s was that song released, or early in the 2000s?

I think she always has makeup on to keep up with the Mariah image. I believe the song was released around 97. I do remember MTV's TRL made a big deal about the video's premier.
