Hi, procrastinators! I know I'm late on this, and I'm not going to give you an excuses. Instead, I'm going to apologize. (I am very sorry.) And I will give you the songs of the week that I picked for the past two weeks,
Week 1: "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" by Fall Out Boy
This song is relatively old (it was released in 2007). But people have been urging me to listen to Fall Out Boy for years ("and NOT the new pop radio stuff!" they say), so I finally decided to make good on that old promise. I wasn't sure what to expect (I was told their old stuff was different from their new stuff), but I was not disappointed. I liked how they managed to work in creative word usage into their songs
Below I've included the music video, and here are the [explicit] lyrics to the song. (Sorry if you're offended by foul language, but a lot of the songs I like or try also come with foul language. However, I'll always warn you guys if the song of the week contains language that can be offensive or objectionable, so you can use your own judgements as to if you want to proceed.)

Week 2: "Bills, Bills, Bills" by Destiny's Child
I realize I'm taking it back eight more years with this song (this one was released in June 1999), but as I was searching, I found "Say My Name," which led to a search through all of Destiny Child's music. My favorite of the ones I found was probably this song, a sassy girl-power sort of song that has a nice poppy beat to it. I haven't really looked much into the 90's, but I'm rather encouraged by what I've been hearing. (Should I listen to more 90's music as part of my challenge? Comment below!)
Here are the lyrics, and below is the music video to this song. (Fun fact: if you're wondering if that's Beyonce, it is. Beyonce was in the group Destiny's Child for a time before she went solo.)
