It has been since March that I posted a Friday Song Of The Day, so I figured I’d kick off this Christmas season with a Christmas tune. John Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War Is Over) seemed apropos to both the season of the year and our country.
Happy Christmas Kyoko
Happy Christmas Julian
So this is Christmas
And what have [...]
This “a ccapella” group called Naturally Seven records music using no musical instruments except what the Lord gave them; their hands, mouths, feet, etc. All of the sounds (drums, synthesizers, etc) are all created by them vocally. Very impressive.
Here is Feel It (In The Air Tonight)
Here is Wall of Sound (Embedding has been disabled so [...]
Today’s Friday Song of the Day is a blast from the 80s that cause many any adolescent to stop and say, “what the heck is that guy saying?!” This is Kyrie by Mr. Mister from their album Welcome to the Real World.
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison, kyrie
The wind blows hard
Against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul
It [...]
Today I bring you a 60s soul classic for the Friday Song Of The Day. This is Twenty Five Miles by Edwin Starr which can be found on 20th Century Masters: The Best of Edwin Starr (Millennium Collection).
Twenty-five miles from home, girl
My feet are hurtin’ mighty bad
Now I’ve been walkin’ for three days
And two lonely [...]
Last week I posted on a comical song in the country song. This week is another funny song, from da old school! This is You Be Illin’ by Run D.M.C. from their album, Raising Hell.
Verse 1
(One) day when I was chillin’ in Kentucky Fried Chicken
Just mindin’ my business, eatin’ food and finger lickin’
This dude walked [...]
Brad Paisley has been a hot commodity in the country music scene for a number of years. I listen to him on occassion, but I hadn’t heard this song until my brother in law introduced me to it this week. Very funny. This is Ticks from his 5th Gear album.
Every time you take a sip
In [...]
It’s been a while (last year) since I’ve posted a Friday Song of the Day. This song seems to get stuck in my head; which isn’t entirely bad. It’s got a nice island feel and it’s just down-right perky. I like it, so here is I’m Yours by Jason Mraz from his album We Sing, [...]
For this Friday Song of the Day I am going to get a little religious… and somewhat comical. This is Jesus Is My Friend by the band, Sonseed. The band was formed in the late 1970’s at the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Brooklyn, NY. The band was (for obvious reasons) fairly [...]
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 [...]
