OT: Eclipse Related music

[Hoops66]

I can't listen to this without singing along.

 

[Centerstream]

Somebody has to, right?

One of my favorites (big fan of Jim Steinham, he was living in CT when he died)

In my opinion, this was the greatest songwriting of all time. A lyric like, "Living in a powder keg and giving off sparks" will never be topped.
Incidentally, it's a song written by Jim Stineman, who also wrote Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", among others. Quite the contrast. The songwriting world lost Stineman only 2 or 3 years ago.

Jim Steinman was living in CT when he died.

Jim Steinman was living in CT when he died.

Didn't know that. I was born in Hartford and raised in Granby and mostly West Simsbury. It's a small world.

It's completely overcast here in San Antonio. Anybody want to buy some slightly used eclipse glasses for really cheap?

Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun

(I saw that eclipse in Halifax when I was a kid. We had no idea it was gonna happen, just heard about it on the radio and stopped on the city green in Halifax.)

Not your mother's Flintstones.

Let The Sun Shine In - The Clumsy Lovers

Not your mother's Flintstones.

Let The Sun Shine In - The Clumsy Lovers

Pretty sure this is the first ever appearance by the Clumsy Lovers on the Boneyard! IIRC, they are closely linked to the Paperboys. Like the whole band got tired of the lead singer, so left and formed a new band. Or maybe I'm making that up. Pretty sure I saw them live once long, long ago, but the memory gets a little fuzzy.
