This week, The Paly Voice sat down with Palo Alto High School Principal Kim Diorio to ask her to compile a list of a few of her favorite songs.

According to Diorio, she enjoys seeing her daughter share the same pleasure that she has while listening to music.

“She [my daughter] is really into whatever’s on the radio and dancing,” Dioro said. “We do dance parties at our house now — we just turn the radio on and we’ll do Katy Perry radio or something.”

Some of her song choices remind her of a specific memory or person.

Rio – Duran Duran (reminds her of her first crush/ first favorite band)

Let It Go – Idina Menzel (reminds her of her children)

What A Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong (reminds her of her father)

Crush – Dave Mathews Band (reminds her of her wedding)

Billie Jean – Michael Jackson

Fragile – Sting

In My Life – Beatles (reminds her of her mother-in-law)

Like I Love You – Justin Timberlake

Sugar – Maroon 5

Beautiful Day – U2
