Guess what? It's our last Monday of the year, and it's time for music!
Who are the Music Moves Me 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-meaning at least one music video, please!) First, there is XmasDolly. Her co-hosts are: Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, and me.
I want to thank those who have joined us for our weeks of holiday music. We'd
love more music lovers to join us. It's easy! All you have to do is
join the linky above with a music post that contains at least one music
video (there must be a music video).
Each month, except December, we have a guest conductor. For December, our own Xmas Dolly asks that we feature music of the season.
I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a happy one. Now, we look forward to New Years Eve. And I do mean look forward - how many of us are hoping that 2022 will be a much better year than either 2020 or 2021?
Let's spend some time with music about New Years Eve or the New Year. Prepare for some oldies but goodies.
Let's go back to 1942 for my first song. Let's Start the New Year Right was from the movie "Holiday Inn" - written by Irving Berlin and music by Bing Crosby and his Orchestra.
Happy New Year! by Spike Jones and his City Slickers dates from 1948 and is the "B" side of their more familiar "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth".
I found this song from 1952 called New Year Song, by Nicola Paone and his Gang. Not sure about the song, but the video was interesting if you like the 1950's.
Let's jump to something more modern: 2000, to be exact. The Eagles and Funky New Year is more the story of a New Year's hangover than the new year, but let's go with it.
I can not ignore 1983's New Years Day by U2.
There's only one way I can end this post, with Rod Stewart singing Auld Lang Syne. I posted this last year, too, and it's a fitting way to end a New Years themed post.
That's a 2021 wrap.
See You in 2022!
GMTA. I also posted Bing and Rod. I love your other choices, especially Spike. Too funny!
ReplyDelete...Spike Jones and his City Slickers are always a favorite.
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteI marvel over the fact that we're in the last week of 2021. Honestly, the way one day turns into the next mystifies me. Sometimes, I'd love to grab the hands of time just to keep them from moving any further forward but that would be futile, wouldn't it? Oh well, I'll just make the most of each day given because that in itself is a blessing. Thanks for sharing the dance floor with me this year and I look forward to us doing it all again in 2022. May God shower blessings from above down on you and your family, dear friend!
Alana,
ReplyDeleteI left a comment using Brave but when I submitted it, it went POOF! Some blogger sites don't show me as signed in yet I'm able to leave a comment with no problems and then others won't do it. It's mystifying to my little brain to say the least. Anywho, basically I telling you how I marvel over the fact that we're in the last week of 2021 and how I'd love to hold the hands of time to keep it from moving forward but that's would be an useless attempt. I'm happy we had the change to share the dance floor together another year and I shall look forward to us doing it again in the new year. Have a marvelous time ringing in 2022 and may God shower you and yours with wonderful blessings throughout the coming year, dear friend!
Perfect songs to bring in the New Year! I was raised on Spike Jones!
ReplyDeleteNever heard the one by Spike Jones before. I'm kind of surprised.... Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteA great playlist and Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled that the Bing didn't work (I don't patronize antiSemites); never heard the next three at all- but LOVED THEM! and, the next two are old standby's.
