January 12, 201214 yr A 1981 hit for the Scottish one-hit-wonder aka. Mary Sandeman. The video is from the UK music show Top of the Pops, and features their in-house dancers Legs & Co. We did 'manly' songs a couple of months back - does anyone fancy carrying on the 'boyish' theme?.
January 12, 201214 yr Continuing the 'boyish' songs: From the days when pop songs lasted for two minutes .
January 13, 201214 yr Well Capt., would you call these three legends?.Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - The Andrews SistersIt was only when I was listening to this earlier that I realised it was source for the sample used in - we live and learn.
January 13, 201214 yr Well Capt., would you call these three legends?.Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - The Andrews SistersIt was only when I was listening to this earlier that I realised it was source for the sample used in - we live and learn.Yes The Andrew Sisters are legends. They earned their place in history especially during the WWII era. Now here is one from a real cool Cat that brings back the swing/big band sound. The Dirty Boogie - The Brian Setzer Orchestra
January 13, 201214 yr Seeing as the 'Boyish' theme didn't work out, I'll continue with another legend . This song may be familiar from its appearance in The Blues Brothers, I think in the scene when they're heading to Bob's Country Bunker (where they have both kinds of music!). Sadly, this song and John Lee Hooker's other track from the movie ('Boom, Boom') failed to make it on to the soundtrack CD. Luckily I have them on other albums.
January 15, 201214 yr Great song about current state of country music artists and songs. I love songs that speak their mind. Lotta Boot Left To Fill - Eric Church Edited January 15, 201214 yr by Capt_Redneck spelling correction
January 22, 201214 yr Love this song...as I do with most of McGraw's music. In fact, am excited about his new CD coming out this Tuesday! The CD this song came on was the very first CD I owned...given to me by my sister!
January 22, 201214 yr Doh! I missed the whole "boogie" theme. I woulda posted Elton's Boogie Pilgrim and KC & the Sunshine Band's .Instead, I'll have to settle for... . ROFL.
January 22, 201214 yr Or is there another way?. I thought of several more songs with 'Way' in the title - anyone fancy more on this theme?.Doh! I missed the whole "boogie" theme. I woulda posted Elton's Boogie Pilgrim and KC & the Sunshine Band's I had a couple of 'Boogie' songs left - maybe we'll get back to them.
January 22, 201214 yr This band also did quite well in the '80s:One Way or Another - BlondieThis song is actually from their most successful album 'Parallel Lines' which came out in 1978. The fact that I remember 1978 may go some way to answering Val Strate's current question: "Why do I feel old....?" .
January 22, 201214 yr Another one that started the 80s especially the 1980 tour and film in 1982 but came out in 79 This is the video from the movie with "Happiest Days Of Our Lives" segueing into the song. That is way most radio stations play the song.
January 22, 201214 yr Songs with 'Another' in their title must've been popular in the late '70s - here another one : This is the video from the movie with "Happiest Days Of Our Lives" segueing into the song. That is way most radio stations play the song.I still remember the video that contained the Gerald Scarfe cartoons (marching hammers etc.) - that's the version that was shown on TV when it topped the UK charts in 1979:
January 22, 201214 yr Sticking with the '80s: The strange scene at the beginning of the video was filmed in Camden Parkway, North London. Despite the video being nearly 30 years old, some of the stores are still recognizable.
January 24, 201214 yr We seem to be cutting a word off the title each time - if anyone knows a song called 'Day' it belongs in 'One Word Song Titles' .
