10 Oldies' You Need To Add To Your Pregame Playlist

If you're not listening to these, you're not doing it right.

1. The Boy's Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy

Walk into the pregame, arms raised, entire room turns to look at you as you strum your air guitar and everyone breaks out into song. This song is for the boys and for the girls; a true classic.

2. Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners

A song for all generations; the young, the old. As long as you're down for a good time, this song hits a soft spot in everyone's hearts. Once you listen to this one, you're immediately happy and ready to get amped and have a good time.

3. Mr. Brightside - The Killers

You just want to come out of your cage. This is the song where no matter where you are, every single person unites when it comes on. If there's someone who isn't dancing to this one, there's clearly an issue. You don't need to impress anyone or act cool, because this song lets everyone break out of their shells and show their true colors.

4. Beast of Burden - The Rolling Stones

This one's for when you've caught a vibe and can't go back. You can never go wrong with Stones and especially with a feel good classic like this one. Turn it up in the car, sip slowly on something, or just lie in bed and ponder; it's prime for everything.

5. September - Earth, Wind, And Fire

Everyone and their mother knows this one. Get ready to vibe, jam, and dance. Let's hit it back to the old school disco vibes and dance.

6. Jack And Diane - John Mellencamp

You can't go wrong with the timeless story of good ole' Jack and Diane. An American teenage lovers' anthem. A true song for a wedding, I mean come on Jack and Diane are probably your grandparents name, I know they're mine. Ooooooh yeahhhh, life goes on. Learn it, love it, live by it; Jack and Diane.

7. Thunderstruck - AC/DC

You know the drill; grab a drink, grab some friends and listen for the magic word and then SEND IT. AC/DC baby.

8. Stacy's Mom - Fountains of Wayne

You already know it. Of course it's everyone's favorite, you all know every single word, and you probably have been jamming out to it since middle school.

9. December, 1963 - Frankie Vallie and The Four Seasons

Oh yeah baby, here we go. The most intense, feel good, throw back, I love you guys kind of song. Pure unadulterated fun. Oh what a night, am I right?

10. Fortunate Son - Creedance Clearwater Revival

A slight vibe, a hard head nod. A name so timeless, a tune for the ages.

Let's get boppin, let's get jammin'. You heard it here first.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
