Today, our guest conductor chooses as our theme: Your Choice.
Let's enjoy some super music today. I heard the first song the other day. I hadn't heard this song in so long, and it got me to thinking about some other songs. Let's see where my stream of consciousness music thoughts lead us today.
First up is 1986's Superman - REM.
Superman meant a lot to me growing up. I loved all the comics he appeared in, be it Superman, Superboy, Action Comics, and even the Justice League of America. I loved them all. I even imagined myself working for the Daily Planet alongside Lois Lane and Clark Kent (Superman's secret identity).
I wasn't that crazy, for some reason, for the Superman movies, but I enjoyed John Williams' Superman March.
But back to the first song sung by REM. I was surprised to find this is a cover of a 1969 song by The Clique.
So why not have a mini Battle of the Bands and play The Clique's original? After listening to both, I decided I liked both of them.
Moving along, next, from 1966, is Sunshine Superman - Donovan
From the movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - Tina Turner sings We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome).
From 1977, Heroes - David Bowie.
My final selection circles back (in a way) to Superman, with Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down, from 2000.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week for another session of Music Moves Me.
David Bowie's music is fantastic
ReplyDelete...I only know a couple of them.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful memories there!
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great theme! We should use superheroes for a theme one week, don't you think? I don't know that we've done that. Great song picks this week. Have a boogietastic week, my friend!
Wow! I only knew a couple of these! (Where was I that I missed out so completely?) Enjoyed this, Alana. I especially love watching Tina once more. There was no one quite like her!

ReplyDeleteSuperman. I had forgotten those versions. And Donovan, ghat brpight a smile to my lips. Tina and Bowie always make my day. I must admit the Kryptonite escaped my 'youth' Thanks for a great Juneteenth celebration.
ReplyDeleteGreat theme and excellent songs!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your choices, and love them all especially Dovonan's Sunshine Superman. I have a secret yearning to be a superhero 💜💜
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the orchestra's March of Superman: it's really good. I also like Donovan's song and David Bowie's Hero
ReplyDeleteInteresting theme!
