Who are the #MusicMovesMe bloggers? We are bloggers who blog about music each Monday and if you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only on this music train, please!) First, there is XmasDolly, whose birthday is coming up, Her co-conductors are: Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, Cathy of Curious as a Cathy and (finally) me. Callie of JAmerican Spice blogs from time to time.
Our guest conductor is also the engineer of this train - Xmas Dolly and for our theme today she has picked: "YOUR PICK".
In the past few weeks, life has not been kind to many of the guys and gals of Music Moves Me so I thought I would pick some random songs that I happen to like. Some are outside the normal genres of music I feature.
Like this one from the Backstreet Boys, a group my then young son enjoyed.
May I bring you - Everybody (Backstreet's Back). I think the video is pretty awesome, too.
Woke Up This Morning (made famous by The Sopranos)- Alabama 3 (note: this is not identical to the theme played on The Sopranos).
Living with a Hernia - Weird Al. Warning: You must watch every second of this video to get the full enjoyment.
The song that led to a million rickrollings: Rick Astley and "Never Gonna Give You Up". Guess what? I like this song!
Haddaway - What Is Love, the song that led to a SNL skit and a movie. This is an extended club mix, to give you a couple more minutes of dancing.
MFSB - TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia), to give you some more dance time.
Last but not least - I found it! It hasn't been taken down yet! The famed "More Cowbell" skit from Saturday Night Live which keeps disappearing and reappearing from You Tube for some unknown reason.
(That song really did need more cowbell, don't you agree?)
Danced out? I am. It's a wrap, boys and girls. See you on the dance floor (with or without cowbells) next Monday, hopefully!
Alana,
ReplyDeleteIt's great sharing the dance floor with you, my friend. You brought some excellent song choices to the party and even a bit of humor with Weird Al & the fame 'More Cowbell' SNL skit. TSOP...WOW, that sure does bring back the disco vibes. DH & I were talking recently how you just don't hear the horns or big band backing in modern mewsic. That's now a lost sound and it's a real treasure to hear those old classics when they come over the airwave. I loved your playset! Have a boogietastic week, dearie. ;)
My kids were into Backstreet Boys, too. good mom that I am, I took them to a Backstreet boys concert.
ReplyDeleteVery cool collection of songs. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt, all of us could use a little more cow bell in our life. I love the opening choreography in the first video.
ReplyDeleteHey, I like that Rick Astley video, too. Especially the dance moves of his two dancers.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection! Put me in a great mood. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWow. Monday potpourri! Very eclectic. Thanks for the laughs
