People listen to music for many different reasons.

Some like music to have deep meaning. Others like music to help them express their feelings.

That's not me. I am a shallow person who only wants music to be catchy so I can sing along with it and have a good time. And if you want a song to be good, it has to be one of those songs you can sing along to. If not, what's the point of listening to it?

Here is a list of those catchy songs that have you nodding your head like yeah! Moving your hips like yeah! OK, so I'm giving this one away before the list starts: Miley Cyrus Party in the U.S.A. But there are many others and here they are:

I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles), (The Proclaimers): Im not exactly sure what these twin brothers (they gotta be twins, right) yell at the refrain, but it sure is happy. This song came from a bad Johnny Depp movie, but the song has longevity. I'm not sure why they never came out with something else.

Cool It Now (New Edition): A great beat with great lyrics. I'm not exactly sure why all these guys were so upset that one of the guys got a girlfriend, but it made for an outstanding song.

Sweetness (Jimmy Eat World): The Middle stinks, but his second hit of that album includes a lot of yelling, kind of like Ric Flair, but with a little more harmony. I have no idea what the lyrics mean, but I bet their great!

Aeroplane (Red Hot Chili Peppers): There were a few Chili Pepper songs that could have made the list, but this makes for a great sing along. The guy I worked for when I was in college (whose birthday is today, happy birthday Craig!) would play this all the time when wed hang at his apartment. I haven't heard it much since, but I have fond memories of it.

Wannabe (Spice Girls): The best musical group to ever come out of England are these five chicks who aren't as hot as they once were, but they can still sing this beauty. It's a shame these ladies are all past their expiration date because a few of them were really hot in their day.

Enter Sandman (Metallica): I'm pretty sure the reason I like this is because of how awesome it was when the Sandman would come out in ECW. I'm not much of a hard rock guy either, but there's something about the way this song starts out slow, then builds up to an awesome hit.

Sweet Child O Mine (Guns N Roses): I'm not sure if I like the original or the cover of the song by Derek in 'Step Brothers' better. OK, I'll go with GnR, but Derek spends $1,200 a week on singing lessons and its so worth it.

Flagpole Sitta (Harvey Danger): A staple of the 1990s, this song had unbelievable play for a summer, and then it kind of disappeared. But I still remember it and I call it up on youtube at least once a month to take me back to the good old days!

Livin La Vida Loca (Ricky Martin): I hear this from time to time and when I do, I can't get the darn song out of my head for at least a week. It was cool to hate Ricky Martin back in the day, but if hating him is cool, I'm a huge nerd!

This D.J. (Warren G): Everyone knows Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre were the top rappers of the 1990s, but Warren had a bunch of hits, including this one. I remember Mtv (it used to play music, kids) hyped this song for a week. It was worth it. Don't believe me? Go ask the twins!

What The Hell (Avril Lavigne): I could have gone with Girlfriend from my favorite Canadian singer, but she looks way hotter in this video, so well go with this one. It didn't really get great play on the radio stations, or at least the stations I listen to, but it's great.

Take a Picture (Filter): I hear this song every time I watch the Girl Next Door. And I watch that movie every time its own because I know one of these times Elisha Cuthbert is going to get naked. She never does, but the consolation is listening to this song, which I then find myself humming for a few weeks.

Chop Suey (System of a Down): Their best song is Toxicity, but their most catchy song is this one. It gets fast, it gets loud and those are two things that make a song great!

Flava in Your Ear (Craig Mack): Whether you're talking the original or the remix, you got yourself an awesome song. Plus, how many rappers wear Tampa Bay Lightning jerseys? And how can you beat these lyrics? Boy, I flip boy all the time 'Cause boy, the rhyme you're kickin' ain't worth a dime!

Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve): Remember I said I don't like songs that have meaning? Well this song does have meaning, but it also has a great musical beat and that's why it makes the list.

Let's Get Rocked (Def Leppard): This was a song the Philadelphia Flyers came out to for a bunch of seasons in the early 1990s and it got me so pumped up. I'm not sure I liked the song, but it did and always will remind me of Eric Lindros, my favorite athlete of all time in any sport.

Call Me Maybe (Carly Rae Jepsen): I know its cool to say I hate this song, it's overplayed, it's corny, I liked it when it first came out, but now I'm sick of it. I know all the excuses. If you are one of the people saying that, you're missing out on an outstanding song. Stop it and bop your head with me.

Childrens Story (Slick Rick): I think he might still be in jail, but his song is still awesome. Plus it goes to show he's a good uncle. I like to think I'm a good uncle, but I'd never read my nieces or nephews a bedtime story. If they want a story, they can read it themselves!
