Top Ten Songs of the Summer
#6 – Beyoncé – ‘Crazy in Love’ (2003)
This is one of only three songs on my list from the current millennium — two from the 00s and one from the 20s.
The 2010s didn’t manage to land one song on the list, a dubious distinction that decade shares with the 90s. Technically, the 50s are unrepresented as well, but with only two qualifying songs that’s not much of a surprise.
I don’t listen to much of what makes it on the Top 40 these days. Those Now That’s What I Call Music! CDs that are into their 78th volume by now… they’re generally all Greek to me.
I’m not necessarily proud of that fact. In a way, it makes me feel like the clichéd grumpy old man who doesn’t understand what the kids are listening to. But, true to the spirit of that grumpy old man, I really do find it hard to believe people actually like some of those songs.
But occasionally a song breaks through, and I get what they hype is about. Which brings me to Beyoncé, and today’s Song of the Day, ‘Crazy in Love.’
