Today is my official last day at a job, so I thought I’d post a song about moving on. This song is about couples breaking up, and more specifically about the split-up of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, so it doesn’t really apply. But I like the song so here it is. Go Your Own [...]

I was in a Blondie mood this Friday so today I bring you Rapture from Autoamerican.
Toe to toe dancing very close
Body breathing almost comatose
Wall to wall people hypnotized
And they’re stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture
Back to back sacroiliac
Spineless movement and a wild attack
Face to face sightless solitude
And it’s finger popping
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture
(Rapping)
Fab [...]

I chose today’s song not so much based on the actual music, but more on the music video. I’m a pianist and so is the leader of this band, Gabe Dixon, so that sort of resonated with me. But the really cool thing about the video is that they created a human piano with people [...]

Today’s song comes to you all the way from elementary school chorus. This is The Ballad of Senior Don Gato, a story of youth, love, tragedy and miracles. Oh… it’s also about a cat!
The Ballad Of Senior Don Gato
Oh Senior Don Gato was a cat
On a high red roof Don Gato sat
He went there to [...]

Today’s song is The Window by the Steve Miller Band from their Fly Like And Eagle (1976) album.
Ask my baby what she wants to be
She’ll say a monkey swingin’ in a tree
Ask my baby what she’s thinkin’ of
She’ll say there’s nothing greater than love
Well, look through the window
Tell me what do you see
A beautiful planet
Peace [...]

Today I bring you a pop hit by The Proclaimers; I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) from their album, Sunshine On Leith (1988).
When I wake up, well I know I’m gonna be,
I’m gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who [...]

Today’s Friday Song of the Day features a song off of the Billboard Hot 100 charts. This is Disturbia by Rihanna, which can be found on the Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded album.
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
(Whats wrong with me?)
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
(Why do I feel like this?)
Bum bum be-dum [...]

Hey, there music lovers! Sorry, it’s been several weeks since I posted a FSOTD. I’ve actually been taking somewhat of a break from blogging altogether. Anyway, here is Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead Or Alive from their album, Slippery When Wet (1986).
It’s all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we’re wasting away
Another place [...]

This is Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell from his album Rebel Yell.
Last night a little dancer
Came dancin’ to my door
Last night a little angel
Came pumpin cross my floor
She said honey baby
You got a license for love
And if it expires
Bring hell from above because
In the midnight hour she cried more more more
With a rebel yell more more [...]

This is Star Wars Cantina by Richard Cheese (aka Mark Jonathan Davis). It’s a funny song with Star Wars lyrics set to the tune of Copacabana by Barry Manilow.
(Help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope)
(R2-D2)
Her name was Leia, she was a princess,
with a danish on each ear, and Darth Vader drawing near
so R2-D2 found [...]
