The Songs in My Head: Downtown Train - Original Cover!
http://thesongsinmyheadblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/downtown-train-original-cover.html
The Songs in My Head. I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours. Friday, July 4, 2014. Downtown Train - Original Cover! Tom Waits's "Downtown Train" has been in my head for a few days, so I decided to figure it out on guitar. Then I sang it at karaoke last night, and it wasn't too shabby. I'm using something closer to the key Rod Stewart sang it in, 'cause Tom's range is a might too low, as you can imagine. Hope you enjoy it! Written by: Tom Waits. Sammy Davis, Jr.

The Songs in My Head: Jump
http://thesongsinmyheadblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/jump.html
The Songs in My Head. I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours. Monday, September 27, 2010. My strongest association with the song "Jump" is an argument my friend Julie and I had the summer after our senior year of high school. It was about six years after the song's release in 1984, and thus, well into its influence on the rock radio canon. I had argued that the song paled in comparison to the brilliant music of Phil Collins. In favor of art rock. Julie's argumen...

The Songs in My Head: Billy Boy
http://thesongsinmyheadblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/billy-boy.html
The Songs in My Head. I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours. Tuesday, May 6, 2014. I haven't been focused on the song blog in quite some time, but this tune arrived so out of the blue, I had to post it. I'm sure I haven't heard any version of it in more than 30 years. The internets date its origins in the 18th Century, but it looks like the most popular versions weren't published in England til about WWI era and not in the States til 1930. Blood, Sweat and Tears.

The Songs in My Head: Dreams of Merlin
http://thesongsinmyheadblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/dreams-of-merlin.html
The Songs in My Head. I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours. Wednesday, August 1, 2012. I had a dream this morning in which my dear friend Marck and I were at an open mic. The performer on stage challenged audience members to stand up and sing if they thought they had a good command of the Eagles'. Oeuvre. Marck and I simultaneously and defiantly arose. The performer then presented us with the sheet music to a song about Merlin. Character, Sir Galahad. Everythi...

The Songs in My Head: Wild Sage
http://thesongsinmyheadblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/wild-sage.html
The Songs in My Head. I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours. Wednesday, November 23, 2011. And when somebody asks if I'm okay. I don't know what to say. And along the highway. From cast-off innumerable seeds. Wild sage growing in the weeds. One of my very favorite songs. Makes me cry almost every time I hear it. It names a lifelong conundrum of mine: am I okay, or am I not okay? Artist: The Mountain Goats. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Give Me The Night.

The Songs in My Head: Handy Man

The Songs in My Head. I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours. Thursday, May 28, 2015. It's been a year and a half since I last posted an entry here. I've been sucked into other social networking, and also trying to focus on, y'know, life and stuff. Maybe I'll pick up the pace here at The Songs in My Head, and maybe not. I tweet on music and culture at soozzip. With a hair more frequency, so follow me there! And the weirdness that is Neil Sedaka. Who also wrote "...

The Songs in My Head: Tom Sawyer
http://thesongsinmyheadblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/tom-sawyer.html
The Songs in My Head. I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours. Sunday, January 20, 2013. This song was hot in 1982 when I was in a fifth-sixth grade combination class at Daves Avenue School in Los Gatos, California. One of the sixth graders convinced Mrs. Ringsted to play it in class during the time we were reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Starring little Johnny Whitaker. And everybody's favorite Surprise!

The Songs in My Head. I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours. Monday, February 1, 2010. Just Can't Get Enough. This is making the rounds in my head owing to a pal's Facebook. Update. Thanks, Gina! The song always reminds me of a personal anecdote going back about 20 years to Jewish youth group leadership camp in Starlight, Pennsylvania, the summer before my senior year of high school. It goes something like this:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
