music meme

I was at a site last week and the meme was to post 5 songs that had titles that were questions. I wish I could credit the site but I have no idea where I saw it. Sorry!

Anyway, I'll post 13 titles of songs that I particularly like with questions in the titles and you can follow up with more titles of songs. 5 would be a good number but anything you want to add is fine. I'm not going to tag anyone with this but it's okay with me if you do!
  • "What Have They Done to My Song, Ma?" Melanie
  • "Am I Losing You?" Jim Reeves
  • "Who Do You Love?" George Thorogood and the Destroyers
  • "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?" Mitch Miller
  • "Do You Believe In Magic?" The Lovin' Spoonful
  • "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" Chicago
  • "Have You Seen Her?" The Chi-Lites
  • "What's Going On" Marvin Gaye
  • "Have You Never Been Mellow?" Olivia Newton-John
  • "Is This Love?" Whitesnake
  • "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" The Clash
  • "What About Love?" Heart
  • "Why Don't You Get a Job?" The Offspring
I really love Jim Reeves' voice but he didn't do many songs before dying. In a plane crash, I think. His duets with Patsy Cline are particularly good though they were patched together in the studio and made nearly 20 years after both were dead. The Lovin' Spoonful were one of my favorite bands when I was a kid. I think one of their albums was the second one I ever bought. A K-tel collection was the first. For the song Pretty Lady by Lighthouse, I think.

The oldest song is the Mitch Miller who dates back to the Big Band era and long before I was born. Bill Bailey has been recorded by 100s of artists but that's the version I remember best. The Offspring's Why don't you get a Job is the most recent and I love the humor...as well as the pathos within it.

I too love Big Bands and the old Standards...they don't make music like they used to!

Great list and interesting topic for a meme. I'll have to just go ahead and tag myself if I run dry of blog-fodder in the next little while. Here from Michele's.

I remember a song called "Where Are You?" but can't remember the artist.

Thanks for stopping by today. I've been reading through some of your entries. I love the snow pics!

I love that song by the Offspring. Sorry I can't think of any songs. Oh, How Do I Live by either Trisha Yearwood or LeAnn Rimes, take your pick.

They definitely don't make songs like they used to. I hope today's generation eventually comes to appreciate the influence of those who have come before.

My wife and I went to a swing concert at the orchestral hall last year...it was magical. And Guy Lombardo's hometown is...London!

Back from Michele's. Awesome to see you again, Utenzi.

No problem, Destiny Anne.

Thumper--don't try too hard. I most certainly don't want any head explosions on my conscious.

You did great, GPV. I especially like the Earnie Ford song. "I owe my soul to the company store" Though I always thought it sounded like he said 'company stove'

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
