I’ve come to that point again where this is no fun anymore, so it’s best to take a break, smell the flowers and yada yada 🙂
Thanks for making it this far and being part of a select group. Perhaps this is a good time to go back some of the posts you missed.
See you anon.
Catch Me I’m Falling – Real Life
Written by group members David Sterry and Richard Zatorski, this was the follow-up to the first single by this Australian band, “Send Me An Angel.” The song is about living in a dream state and the fear of one’s dreams being a danger.
It was in Benin City, in the heart of Nigeria, that a new hybrid of
intoxicating highlife music known as Edo Funk was born.
It first emerged in the late 1970s when a group of musicians began
to experiment with different ways of integrating elements from their
native Edo culture and fusing them with new sound effects coming
from West Africa ́s night-clubs. Unlike the rather polished 1980 ́s
Nigerian disco productions coming out of the international
metropolis of Lagos Edo Funk was raw and reduced to its bare
minimum.
“Tell Her No” is a hit single by British rock band The Zombies in 1965, featured on their eponymous debut album The Zombies. It peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States in March 1965 and was one of three big American hits by The Zombies (the others being “She’s Not There”, in 1964, and “Time of the Season”, in 1969). “Tell Her No” was only a minor hit for The Zombies in their native Britain, where it peaked at No.42 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1965.
Not new, but still relevant.
Came across this guy’s videos last week and this one in particular made me laugh.
“
Too Darn Hot” is a song written by Cole Porter for his musical Kiss Me, Kate (1948). In the stage version, it is sung at the start of Act 2, and in the 1948 original Broadway production, it was sung by Lorenzo Fuller (as Paul) and Eddie Sledge and Fred Davis (as the specialty dancers), leading the full company.
In the 1953 MGM Hollywood film version, it is moved to a much earlier point, and it is sung by Ann Miller (as Lois Lane, Fred’s new girlfriend, who is cast as Bianca). The song does not contribute to the plot in either the stage or film versions (according to general opinion); in the stage version, the song represents the company of The Taming of the Shrew taking a break offstage during the intermission of their play; in the film version it allowed the audience to see Lois’s fun-loving, risk-taking nature, and gave Ann Miller a chance to show off her dancing skills, specifically tap. The line ‘According to the Kinsey report’ (in the original stage production) was changed in the film version to ‘According to the latest report’. The song has also been covered by many artists.
Jackson Browne – Redneck Friend
In this song, Jackson Browne sings about letting loose his fun-loving, country side in an effort to improve relations with his lady. This alter ego was based on his real “Redneck Friend” – Gregg Allman. Browne was a huge fan of The Allman Brothers Band.
Elton John played piano on this track. He didn’t have a US work permit at the time so he was credited as “Rockaday Johnny.” Other musicians on the song were Doug Haywood on bass, Jim Keltner on drums, David Lindley on slide guitar, and Glenn Frey on harmony vocals. The previous year, Browne gave Frey the song that became the first single for the Eagles: “Take It Easy.”
Frifot is a Swedish folk music trio which was formed in 1987. Its members are Lena Willemark, Per Gudmundson and Ale Möller. When it was first formed, the group called themselves Möller, Willemark & Gudmundson; the name Frifot, literally footloose, comes from the lyrics of one of the songs they play. Over the years, the trio’s members have also had solo careers and performed with other groups, but Frifot has never ceased to exist as a group. Their fifth full-length CD was released in October 2007.
