December 24, 201015 yr FYI - Darius Rucker use to be in a band called Hootie and the Blowfish...think it was a rock band. Not sure. Never did listen to their music, but did know about them because I am a HUGE Chicago Cubs fan...a couple of the announcers would talk about them from time to time during their Cubs broadcasts when I was growing up. I am really glad Daruis has moved to Country - I really like his music. Find it really refreshing. He is on his second Country album right now with his current song "Come back Song". Glad to see he seems to be sticking around the Country Music scene and is making it work for him. I'd have to say he is one of my favorite new Country artist.
December 24, 201015 yr Author Rio - Duran DuranAn '80s classic.FYI - Darius Rucker use to be in a band called Hootie and the Blowfish...think it was a rock band. Not sure. Never did listen to their music ...I never listened to them either, but I remember an episode of Friends where some of them go to a Hootie and the Blowfish concert.
December 24, 201015 yr "Reality" Kenny ChesneyWell if I heard it right...he does say the "B" word once in this song so I apologize if this offends anyone. Other than that, it is another great song. Reminds me of Bo and Luke in his verse about fast cars and shine. LOL.
December 24, 201015 yr Author (no video with this )Tori Amos did a cover version of this song on her 'Strange Little Girls' album in 2001.The chorus includes the line 'She looks like Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"'. Apparently she beat Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched) to the role. Her portrayal of Edie Doyle won her an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Here she is with Marlon Brando:Eva Marie Saint also appeared in films like "North by Northwest". I remember her as Maddie's mother in "Moonlighting" in the late '80s. Most recently she played Martha Kent in the 2006 movie "Superman Returns".
January 1, 201115 yr I apologize if I already used this one...but it came to mind tonight when I tried thinking of a one word song. I love this song...very upbeat and is a song I love turning the radio up and singing along to! Sadly I couldn't find a video for this one, though I do know they have one for it. So it is just the song with lyrics on the link above. Oh well, it's a great song! (Then again, I think, most Montgomery Gentry songs are!)
January 1, 201115 yr Author There's a cliché on this side of the Atlantic that North Americans don't get irony. Alanis didn't do too much to dispel this idea, as Irish comedian Ed Byrne points out in .
January 1, 201115 yr I also have a variation by the B-52's which shares a few of the lyrics. I could only find a live version on YouTube.I loved this song when I was younger (still do LOL). Hoss's link didn't work for me tho', said it was not available in my country. LOL. So for those here in the US, you can view this link here. Ironicially, the footage is from a BBC broadcast.
January 1, 201115 yr Cheating a little with the same word used 3 times and continuing on from Petula Clark to some more great 60's music. This television performance is intersting in that they're performing to playback. They're singing live but the drummer's trying not to play for real because the recorded music is playing. ROFL
January 1, 201115 yr Author Hoss's link didn't work for me tho', said it was not available in my country.Sorry about that, it happens to me sometimes with links posted by US Hazzardites - if it's any consolation, my link doesn't work for me anymore, so thanks for the new link MaryAnne .Going on with MaryAnne's themes of a '60s song with a single word repeated in the title:
January 2, 201115 yr Author Africa - TotoSomeone I know insisted on playing this repeatedly on his phone until about 4am on New Year's Day, so I had to include it (I liked it anyway ).
January 8, 201115 yr Well be prepared to cry with this one. I read an article on this one in a Country magazine, I think. It is wrote by Eddie Montgomery (half of Montgomery Gentry) for his son who died at a young age. I kinda remember the story and how he died, but can't remember it a hundred percent, so I won't say it in order to not say it wrong. In the video, it has pictures that fans sent in of their lost loved ones...very sad.
January 8, 201115 yr Author I had my next song picked out, but it didn't seem appropriate after Garrett's last post, so I'll save it for another time. This one is from Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice from his critically acclaimed 2002 album 'O'.
January 8, 201115 yr Sorry Hoss to ruin your next song...isn't my intention. This is a sharp song by Trace, it gives me chills each time I hear it...another serious and sad song. Sorry Hoss.. Don't know why, but guess those are the types of songs I can think of today with one word titles...
January 8, 201115 yr Author The Breeders were formed by Kim Deal of the Pixies and Tanya Donelly of Throwing Muses. This is from their 1993 album 'Last Splash'.Sorry Hoss to ruin your next song...isn't my intention.Not to worry, it'll keep - I just didn't want to spoil the poignant mood .
January 9, 201115 yr Well Hoss...this will ruin the mood of my last two songs. Went from serious songs to a Christian song that is loud and more hip hop than anything else. I have a wide variety of different styles in Christian music...
January 9, 201115 yr Author Changes - 2PacMaybe this track is more in keeping with your change of mood, Garrett . A song which samples the excellent The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby and the Range.
January 9, 201115 yr Author A beautiful choral piece by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. If you're feeling stressed, sit back and enjoy.
