You're lucky I can't find the version of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" I woke up with: the one Barbara and Julie sang in One Day at a Time. Here's an interesting mini-profile of Kiki Dee and occasionally her an Elton singing the tune.
"The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" by Charlie Rich today -- perhaps a lingering April Fools Day prank? Every time I hear this song I think "If she walked out on him, why would she be crying?" and "Tell her yourself, lunkhead." Happy April 2nd. "Give a Little Bit," Supertramp. After a while, the 12-string jangle makes you want to knock your head against the wall. I know nothing about classical music, but woke up with what turns out to be Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 banging around my head. Took me a while to identify it and along the way found Victor Borge playing it. Woke up with a proper version of "Jambalya" this morning, but found this extraordinary rendition by the Carpenters. And by extraordinary rendition, I mean pain-inducing. Just the beginning of "Winnie the Pooh," willy, nilly, silly, old bear. Great jumpin' catfish, I picked up "A Few of My Favorite Things" from the 60-something couple sitting across from me on the Dulles Parking Lot Shuttle. Apparently, they figured out how to watch movies on their mobile device and were playing everybody The Sound of Music. You know what some of my favorite things are? Headphones. The theme from Luke's new favorite cartoon, "Johnny Test," some CW or WB cartoon that has yet to exhibit one original idea. I've really got to class up his options. Contracted Badfinger from a "Fresh AIr" segment on Apple records the other day. "No Matter What You Do." And they call the wind Maria. As in Carey. But not really. The Kingston Trio. I used to love listening to them when I was a kid, but not so much anymore. |  Little TunesEvery morning — or just about — I wake up with some snatchlet of music in my head. Some days it may take well past lunch for the theme from "What's Happenin'?'" to work its way out and I figure why should I suffer alone? CategoriesAll ArchivesJanuary 2012 |
