LBB: I just gave it a listen and it's definitely familiar - DH could identify it instantly and said it was a bigger hit than "Cool Change." I like "Cool Change" better myself, but I bet they play "Reminiscing" at Market Basket too. I'll let you know if I hear it there.
TYVM, RR. Glad it helped you some. But yeah: ZMore old skating music. A clever little ditty called "Crush", with vocals by Jennifer Paige and several backup singers. But yeah--it's got drums & bass, as well. I could care less about the lyrical content. It was from back in about 1998. Yup. You betcha.Originally Posted by rosarugosa
NOW YOU'VE MET THE LONDON BOYS...
As I have mentioned I get cd's from the library all the time. The latest David Bowie disk was blah except one song. It's SO tragic. Eff. A 17 year old gay kid that ends up using too many drugs and wishing he'd just stayed home? What an awful story. I'm fascinated that bowie wanted it to be his first hit. and that he started performing it regularly once he had made a name for himself.
And it's so amazing how he starts so subdued but by the end he's shouting "YOU GOT IT MADE WITH THE REST OF THE TOYS. NOW YOU GOT IT MADE WITH THE LONDON BOYS!!!! So many memories of my life back then. I would've become a NYC boy but that didn't happen. But it could have...

Poignant, JP. I was a very big fan of Bowie back in the 70s and 80s. I saw him live once at the Boston Gardens, although we had lousy seats and we were very far away (it was a huge sports arena).
okay---you kids are discussing Bowie. I was listening ta my two favorite Sinatra songs(Theme from the Cardinal and New York New York)which were later on in his career, and in doing research, I happened across early photos of him, and you know what? He resembled David Bowie, in my opinion. Not the glam-rock getup; but facially; very skinny fellow. Hope that helps you some, dude. Thankk mee.
okay---another skate song from 40 years ago: "Keep Feeling Fascination", by The Human League. No banjos, no old geezers. Not country. Yup.
okay----I was listening to something---don't recall what---on youtube, and it switched to a series of songs I would call: "The best of The Outfield." I've heard alla those songs, before; they were from back in the mid-80's into the 90's. So anyway--I looked up the Outfield on wiki, and they were 3 lads from merry olde England(the tourist trap), making up the core of the band, and two are deceased, now. The article said they were far more commercially-successful in the USA, than in their homeland. Critics griped that their music was too pop and harmonious & formulaic and derivative, but they sold records, anyway. I was in the pawn shop back in the 90's and picked up a cassette of: "Play Deep", which was their first big seller. But yeah---they were pretty good, but you get your fill of them pretty quickly. So, I listen to them just once in awhile. You kids prolly scorn them, 'cause tickkicks to their shows aren't available at any price. Thankk mee.
okay----I was reviewing the episode of the old skit comedy show "Laugh In", in which Herbert "Tiny Tim" Khaury was a guest., What was most entertaing was the reaction of the emcees, especially Dick Martin. Ha. Bu yeah----fast forward 56 years, all three(Dick, Dan & Tim) are long gone, but someone like Tim would be standard fare on summa these shows, now. Tiptoe through the Tulips and A tisket, a tasket, a Green & Yellow basket, accompanied by ukelele. Yup. Hope that helps you some. Thankk mee.
I know of one song that has touched me well, Angels Among Us by Alabama. Felt mom was the angel that was there from the day she decided to adopt me to the day it became final when I was 10 years old. I came from a bad home with an alcoholic mom and put in a loving home. Going to play it to her as her Christmas present and is this one, Alabama - Angels Among Us (Official Video)
okay----i been sick with that darn cold fer going on three weeks. but yeah---got a chance ta listen to manya my two-three hit wonders, as critics nastily called them. but yeah---THW's tend to be the best. Anyway, not in any particular wonder: Natasha Bedingfield: pocket full o' sunshine/unwritten; The Critters: Younger Girl/Mr Dyingly sad; Fergie: Big girls don't cry; The Troggs: Wild Thing/with a girl like you/ Love is all around. Eddie Po's u-toob cover of "Earth Angel" speaking of which--Tiny Tim's cover of same PLUS Tiptoe Through the Tulips. TT is a story in and of itself---chutzpah getting a nerdy guy fame and a pretty teen wife. Yup. to be continued...
