try as i might, couldn't find even one cut of oh, atlanta labeled as just 'atlanta.' ya know free bird = freebird, and loco-motion = locomotion and such. but i did find a new tune just weeks old.
i highly approve.

i like this guy and he's building a nice brand for himself.
'im feelin thankful,
when the truck got a tankful.'

 

[ClifSpliffy]

'mas que nada' means 'whatever' in the language that i use when ordering at the drive thru. 1 word.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

this beat had been covered by soo many. barry sisters, eartha kitt, limelighters, many more. picked this one cuz sumone gave it the one worder title.
mamaliga- corn meal puddin ('polenta' down south of them)
pastramala- pastrami.

ain't no religious beat, just folks singing aboot the old country.
and the food. im in, regardless of some of that roma, transylvanian, discofunk, blood running thru my pipes.
i hope 50 cent covers this someday. it's a rocker.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

one more, singing aboot the old country. it's where them other guys learned to drop the beat. man, you can almost feel the sand all up in ur shorts.


midnight at the oasis? send ur camel to bed.

[Aluminny69]

Two rock guitar legends having fun. From the 1987 movie Back to the Beach.

 

[Aluminny69]

It never made the Top 40 when it was released, but this version of a Greek standard from the '20s has since become extremely popular. Just about every surf and instrumental act has covered it. Dick Dale gets the credit because this song was virtually unknown before he popularized it. You might recognize it from the soundtrack for Pulp Fiction.

 

[Aluminny69]

A revival of the Duke Ellington tune, by the amazing Brian Setzer Orchestra

 

[Aluminny69]

Need an entry from the King of Twang - Duane Eddy
