♫ Alone Again (Naturally) ♫ (Redux)

I know some of my readers not only dislike this song, but … really, really don’t like it.  But tonight, I’m playin’ this one just for me, okay?  It’s been a long day, I’m disgusted with the state of the world, have become enraged more than once today reading some of the shenanigans surrounding next week’s election, and I wanted to play a song that I like.  So, I hope you’ll bear with me for 3…

♫ It's Not Unusual ♫ (Redux)

Tonight I was in the kitchen cutting up a watermelon and whistling … “Jeremiah was a bullfrog … was a good friend of mine … I never {cough, cough} understood a single word he said, but I {cough, cough, cough} helped him drink his wine.”  And so I knew I had my song for tonight.  Until … I found that I had played it recently, so there went that idea out the window at 3:00 a.m.!  So, instead of…

♫ Alone Again (Naturally) ♫ (Redux)

One of the music puns on my Jolly Monday post brought this one to my mind tonight, and I must admit that it suits my mood of late to a ‘T’. Tonight’s song has been dubbed “one of the most depressing songs ever written”.  Despite that, it is one of the top five on my playlist for when I am walking … it causes me to pick up my pace, for some reason.  I guess it suits my mood of the moment.  This…

♫ She’s A Lady ♫

How about a little Tom Jones tonight, folks? According to a brief clip in the Canadian Songwriters’ Hall of Fame … Paul Anka wrote She’s A Lady in 1971, while on a plane returning home from London, England. Tom Jones’ manager, Gordon Mills, had asked Paul Anka to write a song that would be a guaranteed hit in the U.S., so as Anka sat on the plane, he began thinking, ‘Tom…women…’ and the rest is…

Nita Rossi - Untrue, Unfaithful (That Was You) (1965)

"Wishing for something other than love,

Wishing that I had never known love;

Wishing I could forget.

Wishing that I had never tasted

Kisses that suddenly are wasted -

Wishing I could forget you,

Wishing we'd never met."

Miss Goose & Princess Nala — circa June 2010

We had to have our oldest kittie, Princess Nala, put to sleep today.  It made for a solemn day for us all, and I’m still feeling quite down, so I decided I needed to play something upbeat tonight.  After a few false starts, I was just about to revert to re-posting Kermit the Frog singing Rainbow Connection when Tom Jones popped into my head.
