Think about this, this song came just before Smells Like Teen Spirit in my 2005 playlist and the next song that I'll post came after Teen Spirit. Just think about that.


Bruce Springsteen rails against the USA.

I remember when this album was released and Dr Fox was counting down the UK top 10 and he got to number one and said,

"***** is number one, but you know that it won't be next week. Oasis have got a new album out next week".

And sure enough, every single from this album got to number one back to back, beginning with this song.


Oasis - All Around The World (1997).

Check out the screaming girls in the audience. That's one of the reasons that John didn't wear his glasses (if I remember correctly), so that he wouldn't see them.

This video is from a live performance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964.

We take a little detour and do a little rockin and rolling with the King.

I didn't post a video the last time I posted this song because I was looking for the version that's on the album, but I kept finding the version of the song that's in the movie. I have finally found what I'm looking for.

naptu2:
Memories. smiley

When I was a kid, we would take our positions before this song began and prepare to obey Elvis Presley's every command.

( "Du ke" in brackets = the beat of the drums).

I'm just going to jump to my favourite verse.


♪Well there ain't nothing wrong with the long-haired music
Like Brahms, Beethoven and Bach
Well I was raised with a guitar in my hand
And I was born to rock
Weeeeellllllll,


Come on everybody and turn your head to the left
(dum ke dum ke dum ke dum dum ke)
Come on everybody and turn your head to the right
(dum ke dum ke dum ke dum dum ke)
Come on everybody take a real deep breath
And repeat after me
I'm love ah my baby
I love ah my baby
Hey, hey, hey and my baby loves me



Come on everybody and snap your fingers now
(dum ke dum ke dum ke dum dum ke)
Come on everybody clap your hands real loud
(dum ke dum ke dum ke dum dum ke)
Come on everybody take a real deep breath
And repeat after me
I love ah my baby
I love ah my baby
Hey, hey, hey and my baby loves me


Come on everybody and whistle this tune right now
Come on everybody and stomp your feet real loud
Come on everybody take a real deep breath
And repeat after me
I love ah my baby
I love ah my baby
Hey, hey, hey and my baby loves me♫
Elvis Presley - C'mon Everybody (1964).

This is one of my favourite bands ever. They've given me decades and decades of amazing songs.

This is from the soundtrack of. . .was it Deep Impact? Or Armageddon?

There are certain songs that must always be played back to back. For example, if you play Buju Banton's Make My Day you must play Mad Cobra's Legacy immediately after it.

These next two songs must always be played back to back. It's in the constitution.

I absolutely love the way the songs come in.

"Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you".

naptu2:
This is one of the greatest mashups ever. It's a perfect combination of four great songs. The producers wanted to use Aerosmith's 1973 hit Dream On, but they couldn't get permission to use it on time, so they used Eminem's Sing For The Moment (Sing For The Moment has samples from Dream On).


These are the four songs that are combined.


Oasis - Wonderwall (1995).

Eminem - Sing For The Moment (2002)

Greenday - Boulevard of Broken Dreams (2004)

Travis - Writing To Reach You (1999).



A DJ combined them (for his radio show) to create:

Party Ben - Boulevard Of Broken Songs

Joseph1832 Do you remember Tour of Duty? It was shown on NTA2 Channel 5 from c1990-1993. This was its theme tune.


I ensured that my niece fell in love with this song in 2005, but not this version, that was Vanessa Carlton's cover version.

This song saved me during a very difficult time. It feels like it's 1995 again and I'm belting it out.

I have many favourites and this is one of my favourite favourites.

I found the tiny vinyl disc of that song in my parent's collection on the early '80s and I've been in love with it ever since.

naptu2:
Dear Sir or Madams, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
So I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer



It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job
But he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer


It's a thousand pages, give or take a few
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I could make it longer if you like the style
I can change it round
And I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer


If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
But I need a break
And I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer
naptu2:
Let's take a little break.

I know that they have lots and lots of really very good songs (lots and lots and lots of really good songs) but this is my favourite. It's also so much fun to play and I taught myself to play this song in the early 1990s.


The video is also a lot of fun. See, it went like this:


John Lennon plays guitar.

George Harrison plays guitar

Paul McCartney plays bass

Ringo Starr sits and looks bored.

It's as if they forgot to bring Ringo's drums. grin


The Beatles - Paperback Writer (1966).
