POINTLESS TRIVIA THAT’S SORT OF RELATED TO THE SONG:

You have reached the end of the list. “Calm Down”. It is time to reflect.

BONUS SEXY PIC (A sexy pic of the artist or a sexy pic that’s loosely inspired by the song. If no sexy pic of the artist is available, we typed the song title plus “sexy” and/or “nude” into Google image search and this is what we got.) :

Random-Taylor-Swift Sexiness! ‘Calm Down Sexy’ on the image search gives you Taylor Swift in a bikini. I’m not complaining. She had a song titled “You Need To Calm Down” a few years back and thus she comes up as the top pick. Taylor Swift should make songs for every word in the dictionary and then make a video where she is in a bikini. The image search algorithm would explode.

Alas, we have reach the end of Simple Minded Entertainment’s Top 100 Songs Of 2022. As always, don’t forget to support good music! Go buy these songs now (at the store or digitally) or stream them on a legit source so the musicians make money! And buy the vinyl when you can, it’s better and the artist gets more money.

POINTLESS TRIVIA THAT’S SORT OF RELATED TO THE SONG:

Elizabeth Taylor was an award-winning actress known for getting married a bunch of times. Although the name is moderately common, so the song could be about another Elizabeth Taylor.

“Unholy”

POINTLESS TRIVIA THAT’S SORT OF RELATED TO THE SONG:

Body shop is a metaphor for the gym and not the place where they fix cars. Or maybe they are being ultra literal and it’s a place that sells dead bodies.

“This Hell”

Hold The Girl

POINTLESS TRIVIA THAT’S SORT OF RELATED TO THE SONG:

Contrary to popular belief, Hell isn’t made up of multiple levels. It’s just a giant DMV office where the line never moves and you lose your place everytime you take a piss. However, the demons working in hell have more purpose that most DMV workers and have better manners.

BONUS SEXY PIC (A sexy pic of the artist or a sexy pic that’s loosely inspired by the song. If no sexy pic of the artist is available, we typed the song title plus “sexy” and/or “nude” into Google image search and this is what we got.) :

Who-Needs-Clothes Sexiness! Rina Sawayama isn’t a big fan of clothes according to this picture. But we are big fans of Rina Sawayama. Clothes are overrated anyway.

POINTLESS TRIVIA THAT’S SORT OF RELATED TO THE SONG:

If you ever panic at the disco, you should find a spot away from large crowds and get some air and try to calm yourself down a bit.

# 7
The Sadies
“So Far For So Few”

Colder Streams

POINTLESS TRIVIA THAT’S SORT OF RELATED TO THE SONG:

For colder streams you have to travel north. But don’t go too far north or you’ll just run into ice.

Redhead-Sadie Sexiness! Although both Sadies are great, in the battle of redhead Sadies I do believe that Sadie Stanley is the best choice over Sadie Sink.

TOP 100 SONGS 2022 – #8 “Mistakes” by Sharon Van Etten

# 8
Sharon Van Etten
“Mistakes”

We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong

 

AWESOMETASTIC AUDIO SAMPLE:

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE SONG!

POINTLESS TRIVIA THAT’S SORT OF RELATED TO THE SONG:

It is good to learn from your mistakes, unless your mistake is a result of something you learned from a previous mistake. At that point you should just stop and do something else before you get crushed by a mistake avalanche.

BONUS SEXY PIC (A sexy pic of the artist or a sexy pic that’s loosely inspired by the song. If no sexy pic of the artist is available, we typed the song title plus “sexy” and/or “nude” into Google image search and this is what we got.) :

Sexy-Book-Title Sexiness! ‘Sexy Mistakes’ gives you a ton of books with that title on image search. Apparently, it’s a very popular and – dare I say – sexy book title. The book in the picture has not one but three sexy stories so it won out in the end.

# 9
Band Of Horses

Things Are Great

 

AWESOMETASTIC AUDIO SAMPLE:

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE SONG!

POINTLESS TRIVIA THAT’S SORT OF RELATED TO THE SONG:

Things might be great for Band Of Horses but here at Simple Minded Entertainment we have been doing these lists for close to two decades and have yet to see any advertising money or sponsors ……. or visitors for that matter.

BONUS SEXY PIC (A sexy pic of the artist or a sexy pic that’s loosely inspired by the song. If no sexy pic of the artist is available, we typed the song title plus “sexy” and/or “nude” into Google image search and this is what we got.) :

Even-More-Distubing-Than-Sexy-Turtle Sexiness! We did ‘sexy turtle’ earlier so why not give ‘sexy horse’ a go on the image search. The top result was an Adobe stock image and I’m just glad we live in a time where sexy horse and turtle cartoons are so readily available for the masses.
