Here's a track from Kirsty's Cuban/Latin American influenced album 'Tropical Brainstorm':

You're proving to be a bad influence on me, Garrett. When I saw "Shoes" I nearly posted a Montgomery Gentry track ;).

As you can probably tell from his name, this guy's obviously from Scotland :).

I love this song! This song has always reminded me of the Dukes for some reason. Perhaps it is just me... :D

It was in the 2005 movie - one of the only good things about the movie IMHO ;).

I thought we'd had this song before, but I can't find it. It dates back to the late 1940s.

I'm My Own Grandpa - Lonzo and Oscar

If y'all are having a hard time figuring out the family relationships, there's a Wikipedia article that explains the genealogy :).

I'll stick with the title. This one is a big dance hit from 1992. For anyone my age it will also remembered (to quote Wikipedia) "because the song was used in

".

It's My Life - Dr. Alban

Well K-Duke, it looks like I'm stealing your whole song title again :).

This song dates back to 1957, and appears on my Bacharach and David album:

The Story Of My Life - Marty Robbins

In the UK it was a hit a year later for

. It must be a popular title, because when I went to YouTube and typed "The Story of my Life", neither of these songs came up!

Sadly, today's post is another tribute. I've just read that Ray Manzarek, co-founder and keyboardist of The Doors, has died at the age of 74. I've posted several Doors songs before, so I'll stick to thread rules and link this one to the previous one (Ray is the one with glasses):

Love Me Two Times - The Doors

RIP. Raymond Daniel Manczarek, Jr. (February 12, 1939 – May 20, 2013)

I'm going to steal the whole title again :).

I don't know if this track is dubstep or drum and bass (or should that be drum 'n' bass?). Either way, I think it's the first of its genre in this thread.

The video contains some '80s-style arcade machine action.

I've just read the sad news that yodeling country/folk sing Slim Whitman has passed away at 90. His 1955 hit

held the record for longest time at #1 in the UK charts for 36 years. Although he had most of his success between the '50s and '70s, his music played a large part in the plot of the 1996 movie 'Mars Attacks' (the Martians heads exploded when they heard his
).

To keep in with the last post, and to follow the rules of this thread, I'm going for:

I Remember You - Slim Whitman

RIP. Ottis Dewey Whitman, Jr. (January 20, 1923 – June 19, 2013)

I had planned to post 'When My Ship Comes In', a folk song by Clive Gregson & Christine Collister, but I couldn't find it. While I was searching YouTube I found this song with the same name, and gave it a listen to see if it was the same song. It wasn't, but I enjoyed it anyway, and although various Clint Black songs have been posted before, this one hasn't:

When My Ship Comes In - Clint Black

Hoss- I love Clint Black's music and this is one of my favorite songs by him.

And just as much as I loved the song you picked out, I am absolutely positive you will love the song I have picked out...as well as this awesome video. After all, how could you not love this song or video or band? ;)

I think you're confusing my music taste with yours ;).

A Girl Like You - Edwyn Collins

And here's a clip of Edwyn on the 1995 Christmas special of the surreal UK panel show 'Shooting Stars':
