Sixties movies set in Italy always have this cool music. Cool is really the only world to describe it-when I hear something from La Dolce Vita or Roman Holiday, I feel like I should put on heels, a dress, and some red lipstick to go sip a cappucino near the Piazza del Popolo.
But I'm not Audrey Hepburn or Anita Ekberg. Audrey Hepburn's first thought upon seeing that there was a gorgeous blue sky above Rome would not be to run onto her balcony and yell "Good MORNING!!" (I didn't actually do that, but I really, really wanted to.) Anita Ekberg wouldn't wear leather flip-flops around her apartment while eating cereal out of the box. My life is pretty different, so I guess it's no shock that my soundtrack is pretty different...
1. MGMT-Electric Feel (I don't know why, but this has been stuck in my head for weeks.)
2. Sting-Desert Rose (When I went to a Tunisia pre-orientation trip, this was the song that accompanied the slideshow.)
3. Tom Jones-Sex Bomb (In Sicily there was a commercial at the train station that played over and over, with this song in the background.)
4. DB Clifford-Simple Things (The story of Italy-it's the simple things that matter here.)
5. Flogging Molly-If I Ever Leave This World Alive (Just because it makes sense to listen to Irish music in ROME.)
6. Kevin Rudolph- Let It Rock (This puts me in a good mood when I have to get up at sketch a naked man at 8:30 in the morning.)
