Songs With A Persons Name

[cohenzone]

this is what Americonn's song threads can do to a man, trigger formerly latent OCD, destroy his self-respect.

Probably the first song with a person’s name every kid in America learns. Comfort food.

(Alexa Bliss)

What a great song! I'll see your Alexa Bliss and raise you one Captain Lou Albano (who was a buddy of Cyndi Lauper). I saw NRBQ perform this one live at least once.

Without looking it up, who knows the name of the character depicted here?

Again, I had no idea this video existed. Ry Cooder recorded this for Boomer's Story in 1972. Here he is in 1987 with an all-star cast including Flaco Jiminez. I'm off to see if I can get the whole movie.

The Classics IV - Stormy (1968) The music of the Classics IV has been called hard to define, because of its changing lineup. Unquestionably, it lacked the hard edge that characterized much of rock during the years of the group's success, 1968 to 1974.




Another hit by the Classics IV - "Spooky"

An All time hit from an all time French singer.... every little breeze seems to whisper...

I am not a big Miley Cyrus fan, but she does an excellent job with that song.

Coming home....
