I was on my drive home one day from work on a December week day, when a song came on the radio, and I thought to myself, “that song is catchy!”. There are only a few songs that I can remember exactly where I was when I first heard them (Fastball’s “The Way” (1998) is one such catchy pop song, which I first heard while drying my very curly hair in about the 8th grade…P.S. I just learned while researching the date of that hit, that Fastball formed in Austin! Unfortunately, they were pretty much a one-hit wonder). I went home and looked up the song that I heard in the car, which was pretty easy to find, since the title, “Untouched” by The Veronicas, is repeated over and over. Ever since, I have been hooked! I usually go through my phases, and find a new song that I love, play it on repeat, then get sick of it and move on, but this song has been a put-me-in-a-good-mood song for about 4 months! And, in those 4 months, I have stood by my belief that it’s becoming a hit. I finally achieved some validation when I heard it play on the new 90210 and I have caught it on the radio on multiple occassions.
