The “OMFG I’m Thirteen” Playlist

Okay, I know this sounds lame and it probably will be.  I was surrounded by a gaggle of teens yesterday while standing in line at Starbucks.  After listening to part of their conversation, I just thought how there was no way in hell I was that retarded in 6th grade (omfg Boyz 2 Men). First of all, they really DO love the Jonas Brothers.  Second, Miley Cyrus is a Goddess amongst them (get it girl) and I am pretty sure they are all sexting.  Don’t know what that is?  It’s real.

I interrupted them and asked if they wouldn’t mind helping me with this post while they continued to drink their Java Mocha Chip Frappacinos. I asked them if they ever saw the movie “Thirteen.” I knew this was a risk, as it’s a pretty out there movie, but I told them it had Rosalie in it from the “Twilight” movie. Of course they squealed and we talked about how hot Edward Cullen is and how we can’t wait for the new movie to come out. What girl doesn’t like “Twilight?” That shit is timeless and ageless.

Anyway, here are some songs that are currently on their iPod playlists. Like, OMFG thank you Lauren, 11; Alyssa, 12; and Alicia, 13; for like totally helping me out with this one. According to Lauren the “Jonas Brothers really are, like, the best band out there.”

1. I’ve Got A Feeling- The Black Eyed Peas This song keeps getting catchier and catchier every time I hear it. Damn you Fergalicious!

2. You Belong With Me – Taylor Swift Also catchy. “She wears high heels, I wear sneakers. She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers.” Middle school is so hard!!

3. The Climb – Miley Cyrus No big surprise here that this apparently is “like the best song ever written” according to Lauren. I still don’t get the appeal.

4. Battlefield – Jordin Sparks At first, I had SOOOO much respect for Alyssa mentioning this one. I was like “Wow! You guys are awesome shouting out some Pat Benatar!” It wasn’t. The song isn’t a cover or anything close to it.

5. Birthday Sex – Jeremih Seriously girls? I actually laughed when they told me this and they convinced me its a good song. It’s not, but I guess its popular. “Just tell me how you want you gift, girl.” Oh. My. God.

6. Don’t Charge Me For The Crime – Jonas Brothers Okay, so apparently they have a new album out. I asked them all to pick their one favorite Jonas Brothers song, and they couldn’t. It was like choosing between red velvet, rocky road, or chocolate PB swirl cupcakes. You always pick all of them! This song I picked because it features Common, seriously. Also, if you want to indulge deeper into their world, read the FIRST review of this album on iTunes entitled “Lines, Vines, and Trying Times.” I couldn’t copy and paste so do the work. It’s really worth it.
