Musical Selections: The National

10/9/2015

After brainstorming a playlist for the Flying Scot Wife-Husband Championship regatta party –– Bon Jovi! The Carpenters! Sir Mix-a-Lot! Weezer! Pure Prairie League! –– well, I am not done with it, but the internal jukebox is pleading for a break.

Thanks to the civilizing influence of National Public Radio, here's the music that I am listening to now:

Pshaw!
Believe me, after mixing The Dixie Cup's "Going to the Chapel" somewhere in the same hour as Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" on the playlist -- I can take a big dose of this strong black coffee!

Not to mention, but mentioning: Brad Paisley's "Ticks," Ella Fitzgerald's "I've Got A Crush On You," AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long," Canned Heat's "Let's Work Together," Nina Simone's "Do I Move You?" and Sinead OConner's version of "You Do Something To Me."
Love may be strange, but love-songs are stranger.

how 'bout Capt and Tennille - "Muskrat Love" or better yet, "Can't stop Dancing" :)

the chipmunks "you spin right round"

the Monkeys "valleri"

or maybe you feeling more like a tango or mambo.

good luck

BTW: love Nina.

Oh Ed!
What a fool I am: I thought I might get through this without any Muskrat Love!

you sucked me in and I can't escape. Damn you Mrs Linton. It's like someone who walks by your desk and hums a few bars of "Alice's restaurant" and it sticks in your head all day. so to hopefully to get it out of my system here it goes. Jimmy Durante's "Make Someone Happy" Satchmo "a kiss to build a dream on" Harry Connick Jr "It had to be you" Hugh Laurie "Careless Love" Lake Street Dive "I want you back" (they have a lot of nice selections) postmodern jukebox "all about the bass" (this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyTTX6Wlf1Y BTW: this is kinda describes a flying scott to me) (they have some neat takes on covers) Phew! glad I'm done with that.

Thanks for those, Ed!
I feel that same sense of urgency to share the names of songs –– and to hear what is on offer (I have "All About The [Upright] Bass" on as I type. Lovely!).
I will restrict my reciprocal offerings to: Have you listened to the String Quartet Tribute to NIN?
Thanks for stopping by!
