It's time to par-ty! It's Monday and it's time for Music Moves Me!
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.
(She has been a bit under the weather, but I'm happy to say she's continuing to get better.) Her co-hosts are: Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, Cathy from Curious as a Cathy,
and me.
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 the month of February, we again welcome Songbird from Songbird's Crazy World. Today, she has selected the theme "Party songs".
So let's get the party started, shall we?
Let's start in the 1950's. Here's 1957's hit song Party Doll, first sung by Buddy Knox, and covered by many since then.
Still in the 50's and loving this video of Bill Haley & His Comets singing "Rock Around the Clock".
Moving to the 60's: No late 1960's Sweet Sixteen would have been complete without the Beatles singing their 1968 song "Birthday".
In the years I went to water aerobics classes at our local YMCA, I can't tell you how many times we exercised to this 1970's hit by the Village People: YMCA. This song actually has a pretty deep meaning.
Let's skip to 1986, with the Beastie Boys and "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (to Party).
For the 1990's, I have to use this song, that, for some reason, I absolutely love. Sir Mix-A-Lot and 1992's Baby Got Back. This live version is a hoot!
For my last selection let's skip to 2011, with Party Rock Anthem, sung by LMFAO feat. Lauren Bennett and GoonRock. We used to exercise to this in my water aerobics class and it's another one I could listen (and dance to) all morning. I love the zombie video but it's about two minutes longer than this one but if you like zombies, look online for the longer video.
And that's a party wrap!
Join us again next Monday, same time same place, for more music!

PS: Do you think you can offer the option to use Name & URL as sign-in options? My preferred browser won't let me use Google with some blogs for some reason which is kinda of annoying. So, I have to remember which ones do this and that's no easy feat. Yours happens to be one where I have this problem. Anyway, if you're able to add this feature then it would be a huge help but if not I understand. ;)
Never heard those last two choices. Glad you can party heartily.
