Music Monday – “Scrambled Eggs/Oh my baby, how I love your legs”

A famous bit of Beatles trivia is that Paul McCartney woke up one day with the fully formed melody for “Yesterday” running through his head. He didn’t have words so to help remember it, he started singing “Scrambled eggs/Oh my baby, how I love your legs.” After singing the melody for everyone he could find, […]

Music Monday – “Seems like everywhere I go/The more I see, the less I know”

It’s always good to have a song that makes you want to dance around the room and this song has the coveted “most played” top spot in my “Pace Dancing Tunes” playlist.

Music Monday – “I’M crazy? When I went to YOUR schools, I went to YOUR churches, I went to YOUR institutional learning facilities? So how can you say I’M crazy?”

A classic from my undergrad days (originally released in 1983 and re-recorded in 1993.  I did not know that!)

Music Monday – “I guess he’s an X-Box/And i’m more Atari/But the way you play your game ain’t fair.”

Music Monday – “I’ll still sing you this song/To last the whole night long.”

I’m not sure – I may have posted a different version of this song before (it’s one of my all-time favourites) but I especially like this one taped during a live performance at a Chapters bookstore, somewhere in Canada.  (Make sure you watch to around the 4:00 minute mark to see the setting put to […]

Music Monday – “There’s a high-wire zombie ‘tween the World Trades/A King Kong zombie on the Empire State/But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome/The zombies who call the city home”

I first saw Spike Lee’s documentary, “Do It Acapella” back around 1990 or 1991.  In those days, if you saw something on TV, it was gone unless you were watching a channel like MuchMusic that repeated it’s programming on a set (six hour?) rotation throughout the day.  In that case, you could set your VCR […]
