It’s a casual Friday all around today at The Ghosts and we are yet again dropping another installment of our off-beat bit “what’s on ____’s iPod.” It’s where we take a look into the “who’s now” of the sports world and (fictionally) hack into their iPod’s to get a taste of what’s striking their fancy. And today’s guest is none other than David Beckham.
Becks and his wife Posh were certainly supposed to be the “it” celebs of the moment. They broke onto the LA scene a few short weeks ago, running with Tom Cruise and his cult. Yet, the rumbles are a many that Beckham is hardly anything other than a prop in the world of American Soccer, as he has seldom even graced the field.
However, that’s still just not going to stunt our intrigue. And so, today we are tapping the inner Beckham and finding quite the variety on his “Coming to America” Playlist. So if you will, “bend it like Beckham” and follow me for a gander…
Wannabe – Spice Girls: What? You thought there was going to be no Victoria represented on his iPod? Get over it…she wears the pants in this family and sometimes even the strap on. When Becks was putting this playlist together she warned him; Spice Girls or full body cavity search. “So, tell me what you want, what you really, really want” was the warning. Becks thought it over for a few minutes and opted on the former.
Waiting for 7:18 – Bloc Party: It’s hip to like Bloc Party these days and Becks wouldn’t be caught dead NOT being hip. Although, boy was he ever shocked when he found out this dude was black, oh well. “Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend.”
Wonderwall – Oasis: For Becks, his beautiful wife Posh is his “Wonderwall.” She was the one that saved him. And musically speaking Oasis saved him. Arguably, his fondest treasure is the complete Oasis collection, bootlegs included. It gets dusty in the room for Becks when he hears anything Oasis.
Kruder & Dorfmeister – Conversions (the Album): Yes, Becks can have a full length album in the middle of any playlist he so desires. This is used primarily as a method of relaxation and mediation. The subtle and trance beats clear the mind and are ideal in moments of reflection just before a huge MLS game or perhaps, a photo shoot for “W” magazine.
The Drug Don’t Work – The Verve: “All this talk of getting older is getting me down my love.” Don’t worry Becks…you aren’t too old to make an impact in American Soccer. The MLS is littered with so-called stars that are well past their prime.
It’s Over and Done With – The Proclaimers: As Beckham bid farewell to his homeland and headed for the United States for some odd coincidence this song grabbed his attention. Never really a fan of cheesy 80’s music, Becks found solace in this one track. Posh hates it, she doesn’t believe in being cheesy…anymore.
Stand – R.E.M: That’s odd…how did that wind up on there?
Smack my Bitch Up – Prodigy: Another ultimatum from Posh. She gave Becks the “meanface” death glare, as if to warn him this is what happens when you disobey. This song serves as a reminder to never dare cross her again, unless of course he wants to be beaten with a whip, tied to a bed post and have a dolphin shoved up his BEEP!
A Day in the Life – The Beatles: Becks is still under the impression that every single Beatles song ever written was dedicated to or about him in some way shape or form. He’s well unaware that these songs were written and recorded in the 60’s.
Champagne Supernova – Oasis: Again, you can never have enough Noel and Liam Gallagher.
I Turn My Camera On – Spoon: Big ups for the paparazzi. Never shy of vanity Becks and Posh know this song is all about the camera being on them from sun up to sun down. And they wouldn’t want it any other way.
Snow (Hey Oh) – Red Hot Chili Peppers: As encore he needed something American and very California-ish. You do know Becks is buddies with Anthony Kiedis…so why not? Yeah, he stole it from the “X-Games” Theme tracks, but who cares. He is now ready to take on America at full speed with Posh looking like an Alien in the background.**YoU TrUlY My IsPiRaTiOn***  |
