I'm sure all of you Dunderheads have had a time in your life when you immediately think of Andy Bernard when you hear "Sweeney Todd," or want to lift a speaker over your head when "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" comes on. Here are 17 songs that you can never listen to the same way again, all because of "The Office."

1. "Stayin' Alive"

Thanks to Michael's first aid training, we all know that "Stayin' Alive," has the perfect beats per minute for CPR.

As long as you start at the chorus and not the beginning of the song...

2."Closing Time"

Thanks to the office, and Stanley, you'll always know that "Closing Time" means it's time to go home.

3. "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)"

Don't we all want to lift a speaker over our head and dance when this song comes on?

4. "We Belong"

Anytime you hear the Pat Benatar classic, all you can think of is Kelly singing karaoke to her crush, Ryan.

5. "Goodbye Stranger"

Or as "The Office," fans know it as "Goodbye Toby." Michael didn't hold back any of his emotions when Toby was leaving for Costa Rica.

6. "Seasons of Love"

Whenever you hear this song you automatically think back to when Michael was leaving Dunder Mifflin and the employees changed the lyrics to the popular song to fit the situation and make us all bawl our eyes out.

7. "We Didn't Start the Fire"

All of us remember when Ryan started a fire by toasting his cheese pita too long, dubbing Ryan "The Fire Guy." Now we can't sing "We Didn't Start the Fire," without adding Ryan's name in there.

8. "Mambo Number Five"

"A little bit of Angela on the thing..."

9. "Just Dance"

You might not sing "Just Dance," any differently, but you'll always think of Michael Scott pulling up in his beloved Sebring while listening to Lady Gaga.

10. "Lazy Scranton"

Dr. Dre and Ice Cube might be straight out of Compton, but Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute are straight out of Scranton.

Once you hear this song, it's stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

11. "Hot Hot Hot"

You'll always want to play the steel drums just like Michael Scott when he returned from his Jamaican vacation with Jan.

12. "Forever"

This song will always remind you of Jim and Pam's wedding when Pam specifically said she didn't want the song "Forever," played, but her officemates danced down the aisle to it anyway.

13. "Sweeney Todd"


Most people may think Johnny Depp or the original Broadway production when they hear "Sweeney Todd" but Dunderheads will always remember Andy's flawless cover of the hit musical.

14. "Nobody But Me "

Remember when the Scranton branch did the best Lip Dub ever?

15. "Physical"

Anytime the Olivia Newton-John classic comes on, you'll think of Holly and Michael teaching the employees all about ethics (while wearing some sick sweatbands).

16. "Shabooya, Roll Call"

Most people probably remember "Shabooya, Roll Call" from "Bring It On" but "The Office" fans will remember it from Kevin's flawless rendition.

"My name is Kevin...that is my name...they call me Kevin...'cause that's my name!"

17. "The Office" Theme Song

This is one is basically a cumulation of all of the memories that Dunder Mifflin's Scranton Branch brought to every single fan of "The Office."

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.

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.

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.
