If The Milestones You Overcame At Bonnaroo Had A Soundtrack

As a city girl, going to Bonnaroo is a life changing experience. Naturally, I'm feelin' inspired to put some tracks to the milestones that one may overcome while on the farm.

"Mambo Number Five" by Lou Bega
Mambo Number 5 would be playing the ENTIRE way. The first time it plays it is kind of, a little bit, dare I say, fun? Then, immediately after the first time the song plays it becomes physical torture that you have willfully exposed yourself to and you begin to question the meaning of life. By the third time the song plays, you're in a hot fit of rage and you contemplate death as a viable means for ending your misery. That is the metaphor for having to be on a Greyhound bus for longer than three songs played back to back.
Note: Same may be applicable driving. — Via youtube.com

"I Don't Want To Wait" by Paula Cole.
After a painful 24 hour-long bus ride the GreyhoundDevil bus dumps you in Nashville, which leaves you 90 minutes away from your actual destination. The conflicting optimism/pessimism that you may be experiencing at this point can be adequately portrayed in this whiney Dawson's Creek song.
"We're almost there!"
"But I don't wanna waitttt!"
Then the semi-hopeful, "doo doo doo doo's," as you grab your luggage and reluctantly hop on another bus. — Via youtube.com

"You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette
Maybe you do know how to pitch a tent, maybe you don't.* Maybe I'm projecting a little bit when I scream sang this song in my head when the strange Canadian boy on the bus was laughing at my friend and I, saying stuff like "oh ya, independent women alright." Maybe the Canadian boy oughta know who he's effin' with.

*We didn't. But after a few beers and actually reading instructions, we got it. So take that, eh. — Via youtube.com

“Montezuma” by Fleet Foxes
You first step onto the farm. You’ve made some friends. Everyone is still clean. The sun is shining the right amount. You don’t have to use the restroom yet. This is a spiritual experience. You’re at Bonnaroo. You look into the distance. People are already tripping too hard and you laugh at them. Life is amazing. — Via youtube.com

“Hologram Benz” by Riff-Raff
Suddenly, everything hits you like a ton of bricks and nothing really makes sense anymore. Sort of like a Riff-Raff song.
Disclaimer: This should be heard at a mind-blowing, obnoxiously loud, volume.
And it pretty much stays that crazy until…Sunday. — Via youtube.com

“I’m Not Cool” by Eric Hutchinson
“No Molly here. I don’t do hard drugs….yikes. I don’t even want a beer. I don’t want to have to pee. Sorry. Try that tent over there- I saw them last night and they had a lot of glow sticks. They seem promising.” — Via youtube.com

“Only Time” by Enya
This entire song plays in my head before I decide to step in and right before I do, I whisper, “see you on the other side.”

“Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves
When you finally give in, you leave the port-a-potties after the deed is done, you feel like a-dancin’. You see the world in a whole new light- colors are brighter, the air feels amazing. Your mood-meter sky rockets. — Via youtube.com

"Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)" by Kelly Clarkson
“I don’t need to spend money on a shower.”
“Id rather spend it on food.”
“It’s Bonnaroo. You’re SUPPOSED to be dirty.”
“I don’t even have a clean towel so that won’t even work anyway.”
It's ok. You don't have to defend yourself. Just own it and live in the dirty bliss of not having hygienic responsibility for once. Unless you really can't live with yourself. Then just pay for the nine dollar shower already. — Via youtube.com
