Musical Questions #MusicMovesMe

It's Monday, and time for music.

It's time for Music Moves Me!

The bloggers of Music Moves Me blog about music each Sunday or 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! Otherwise, your post may be labeled "No Music".)   Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and, last but not least, me.

Every other week, we have a theme.  On alternate weeks, we can blog on any music theme we want. This week is Freedom of Musical Choice and I am choosing Musical Questions.

This was inspired by me hearing this song on a trip:  The Smiths and "How Soon is Now?" from 1984.  Fun fact, it was initially released as a "B" side. 

This led me to ask other questions:

Based on a true incident in 1986,  "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" from 1994 by R.E.M. 

"Wouldn't It Be Nice" from the Beach Boys.

Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour?  (On the Bedpost Over Night) was asked by Lonnie Donegan and his Skiffle Group in 1959.  But, this song is actually a cover of a 1913 skit that included a song "Will Chewing Gum Hold Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight?" which was then adapted int a 1924 song "Does Your Spearmint Lose Its Flavor" recorded by Jones and Hare aka The Happiness Boys.

And here it is, 100 years old this year.

Next up is the musical question "What Kind of Fool am I", an Anthony Newley song covered by many artists, including Sammy Davis, Jr.

Finally, speaking of covers, here is Leonid and Friends covering the Chicago hit Questions 67 & 68. The quiz show Jeopardy might reject that title because it isn't in the form of a question, but I love the song.

And that's a wrap!

Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
