What song are you listening to?

[genevieve]

In the 50's, when the show was still in Philly my father would go on from time to time.

In the '80s Philadelphia had a lesser-known program called Dancin' on Air. I never went but would watch after school.

I've started listening to the radio again on weekends, and a new favorite is local (Seattle) band Deep Sea Diver. The song that's been getting stuck in my head is Impossible Weight

Other songs knocking around my head lately:

Solange - Losing You (I love this video)

Amerie - 1 Thing - I had totally forgotten about this '90s gem. Those go-go drums are

I remember that show! Or maybe it was "Dance Party USA." My cousins went on from time to time. I do remember this kid from the show and he was tiny and I think his name was Jimmy. I was watching for my cousin because she thought it might be one of her "appearances" and they had some old man on who wrote a fan letter to Jimmy. I mean the guy had to be in his late 50's or 60's and I thought Sweet Jesus don't you guys see what is happening here? What a creep. But otherwise I thought the show was fun.

I remember one of the regulars LOVED Prince. So I'll choose Let's Go Crazy:

Dream a Little Dream of Me - Mamas and Papas

Right at the moment, Friday On My Mind by the classic Australian rock band The Easybeats.

The Easybeats - Friday On My Mind

The Easybeats were an Australian rock band that formed in Sydney, Australia, in late 1964, and disbanded at the end of 1969. They were the first rock and rol...

Classical Gas. I remember when the high school band played it. So neat.

Taxi - Harry Chapin

 

[Susan1]

You Keep Me Hangin' On - Vanilla Fudge (I really like Rod Stewart's version too.)

 

[Cachoo]

Today we go to Rome with the band and a string section for a sweet song written when Bruce was 21. New York City Serenade.

Hurdy Gurdy Man - Donovan

 

[Peaches LaTour]

Maggie May - my ultimate October song.

I saw Rod Stewart in concert during his heyday. He had that spiked hairdo & he wore a skin tight jump suit. He was terrific. Of course he sang "Maggie Mae" & closed the show with "I Am Sailing". A very close friend of mine had just died suddenly & unexpectedly, at a very young age. When Rod sang "Sailing", they shone a spotlight on a large disco ball on the ceiling center of the arena & when it started turning, it looked like a million stars were circling in the arena. Suddenly I felt at peace with the tragedy we had just been through.

What am I listening to right now? My favorite slow doo-wop song, "You" by the Aquatones.

 

[Bellanca]

Frampton Comes Alive (Peter Frampton) - Baby I Love Your Way

Player - Baby Come Back

 

[Bellanca]

Hurdy Gurdy Man - Donovan

I just listened to that a couple of hours ago

 

[Bellanca]

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Shame On The Moon

 

[Susan1]

I turned off American Top 40 the 70s because it was 1979. I liked some of the non-disco songs, like My Sharona, but bleah.

So, on the computer - Love Goes Where My Rosemary Goes. My friend, Shauna, had that 45 and we made up a baton routine to it. And then Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet. That's the first real song I learned to play on the piano (and Love Story).

 

[Bellanca]

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (1st Movement)

Starting with the 1st movement dedicated to posters suffering from full moon syndrome. Apparently, it has made them slightly unhinged on the site today.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

 

[Susan1]

Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues
(We used to go see local oldies/classic rock bands in bars, and one of the bands did this song. In that small dark place, it was so good and so intense, that's what I think of every time I hear the song.)

 

[Susan1]

Witchy Woman - good song for October.

They must have switched to more of their fall playlist. Different stations mentioned summer a few months ago when I would change a station. They aren't now. I've heard Maggie May a couple times and also some songs that reminded me of going to football games.

 

[Susan1]

More Donovan - Sunshine Superman. Of course my favorite song of his is

1969 - Donovan - To Susan on the West Coast waiting

B side to the hit Atlantis, so not that many people heard it. And, no, I never had the 45.

I did! I still know all the words.

Every now and then, I come across a song I used to really like. This one just cracks me up--listen to the guy talking in the background. My favorite is the long pause, then "What are you talking about?"

Boyfriend (Repeat) by Confidence Man

I've said before that my two best friends both had older sisters (one had 2 and one had 3), so we had every 45. And we and they took them to other friends' houses and "borrowed" some that came home. And we'd listen to the B sides that weren't on the radio. Or songs on albums that didn't make the radio either. Here's one that was at Shauna's house I used to play all the time - B side of Tracy by the Cuff Links.

Saw him in concert at the height of his fame; big hair & skin tight pink jumpsuit. Totally fun!

Right now, listening to El Paso by Marty Robbins.

This song has been running through my head for the past couple of weeks. Figured I may as well share:

I Put a Spell on You by Creedence Clearwater Revival .

So Jerry Jeff Walker died (RIP) and we always liked his riff on "The Music Man" so today I listened to "Stereo Chickens."
