List of Things I Think Someone Should Write Songs About

I often find that I have a hard time to relate to songs about things like partying, and love. So... most songs.

Here is a list of things I think would make more relatable song topics:

1. Carrot sticks, and why they're so much better than shredded carrots or baby carrots
2. The many uses of Google, and also how Google will likely take over the world
3. Different kinds of doors
4. The experience of shopping at WalMart. You know how you always feel mildly guilty because of all the horrible things you hear about it but at the same you know that sometimes it's your only option?
5. Extreme couponing. Seriously, you should watch that show, what a rush.
6. DisneyWorld
7. That feeling you get when you finish binge watching a show on Netflix, and everything is over and you no longer know what to do with your life
8. All the things you do when you're procrastinating.
9. When you go on Facebook to quickly check your notifications and next thing you know two hours have gone by and your looking through the pictures of your brother's friend's girlfriend's mom's friend's new puppy.
10. How disconcerting it is when Facebook is like, "Good afternoon, Jordan" but doesn't even ask you to post about it. Seriously, is that as upsetting for everyone else as it is for me? I mean at least when it's a holiday and it wants me to post about it, I understand it has a hidden agenda. But when it's a random Tuesday? Get out of my life Facebook, we're not friends.
11. That horrible feeling of getting spaghetti stuck in your throat. That's the worst.
12. That feeling of pure joy you get when someone shows you a cute picture of a hedgehog, and all of your problems immediately fade away.
13. Ducks in hats
14. The weather in the midwest. An endlessly fascinating topic, always full of surprises!
15. Objects that we often take for granted, like shoelaces.
16. The rainforest, because it's amazing and terrifying, kinda like life a lot of the time.
17. That time Corbin Bleu's Wikipedia page had been translated into the 3rd most languages, only less than Jesus and Obama
18. When you get on a random school bus and it takes you roller skating
19. Ice cream businesses, and how they're surprisingly successful in Minnesota in the winter
20. Blanket forts
21. Pancakes
22. When you bring your Argentinian friend to Bingo night and your grandma doesn't stop talking about him for months
23. Dinosaurs
24. How restaurants should really give kids menus to everyone so that maybe people would put down their phones and do a maze in crayon instead
25. The Animorphs. They deserve a song. They saved us all from an alien invasion.
26. When you accidentally eat an entire cake by yourself on Valentine's Day. Which is something I've done twice.
27. When you spend two hours trying to beat the same level of Super Mario Bros. but keep falling into the pit of lava.
28. Finger painting!
29. The weird things your parents took pictures of you doing as a kid
30. How fun it would be to be a squid for a day

I could go on.
If there's any musicians out there looking for some inspiration...

Also now I'm thinking about all these things so I'll probably write blog posts about them. If I can't write a song, which I cannot, a blog post will have to suffice.
