Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want

Back in May Wildbound tagged me for a meme and I’m finally getting around to it.  Not a moment too soon, right?  The meme is to share lyrics, a sound clip, or a video of a favorite song.  I’ve shared some of my favorite songs before here and there but this is one I haven’t written about yet and I think it’s about time.

The Smith’s – Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want.  There’s not really anything to see in the video – it’s just a still shot – but it’s been one of my favorite songs for years and years.  It’s one of the few songs I never ever skip through when it comes up on my playlist.  If anything I usually give it a repeat.  For some reason I never tire of it.

If you’ve never heard it before but still find the tune familiar there is an instrumental version of it done by The Dream Academy.

You’ve probably heard that version of it in the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.  It plays while Ferris, Sloan, and Cameron spend time at The Chicago Art Institute.  Truly, I think this version is the first one I heard and fell in love with it right away.  It’s always been one of my favorite scenes from the film and I always felt the music suited the scene perfectly.
