Please Don't Ever Leave Me - The Cyrkle

This group was briefly popular in the late 60's. Their biggest hits were"Red Rubber Ball" and "Turn Down Day". After their popularity began to wane, two of them became jingles writers. (Remember "plop, plop, fizz, fizz"?) I find it interesting that the personnel is usua...

Michael From Mountains - Judy Collins

off her Wildflowers album. It has some vivid imagery in it, like: Cats come crying to the key And dry you will be In a towel or two. Michael is a little boy, and the song is about a rainy day. Quite simple. Quite good. Maybe I should get a CD copy of Wildflowers so I can copy it to my iPod. (I only ...

Kicks - Paul Revere and the Raiders

Because jody :5086: didn't know it's an anti-drug song: Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried To fill the emptiness inside But when you come back down...

I guess this is the thread to post this:...

I've reached a milestone of sorts with my iPod. I have uploaded my "Pop/Rock" CDs, and have started on the "Anthologies". My iPod has about 5900 songs on it, and that takes up slightly less than 20 GB. If I play my iPod nonstop (assuming the battery would last that long), that's ...

It's kind of odd, but I never think of that as one of my...

...favorite songs, except when I'm actually listening to it. (And if anyone asks me who my favorite band is, I always say "The Beatles".) But this song fits me so well. I think it always has, even before I had someone to love. It's more bittersweet now, since I lost MamaMouse. But at least...

I've never heard that one, jodyangel.

But the lyrics are beautiful. And when I get there, I know the first angel I'm going to look for. (Shouldn't take long. She'll either be at the gate waiting for me, or she'll be the one to come take me home.) And if I never meet any of you lovely people (face-to-face) down here, I'm sure we'll meet ...

Got My Mind Set On You - George Harrison

I liked the video for this one. Especially the part when the music had a sax solo, and in the video there was a squirrel with a pipe (the kind that some people smoke). Seems that a lot of Mr Harrison's videos (from the time that I actually watched videos) were as much fun to watch as they were to li...

Dance (While the Music Still Goes On) - ABBA

Of course, if you want to type the band's name correctly, you have to figure out how to turn the first "B" so it faces the other way. :17418: Hiya, jody :5086: . :wave: :1013: Yes, "The Banana Boat Song" is the one that Mr Belefonte sang "Daaaaay-o. Da-ay-ay-o. Daylight come...

Banana Boat Song, The - The Tarriers

Later recorded by (and a much bigger hit for) Harry Belafonte. One thing of interest about The Tarriers is that the trio included in their membership a young man who later made a name for himself as an actor: Alan Arkin.

For Fee, who has never heard "The Rainbow Connection&qu

According to Wikipedia, "The Rainbow Connection" is a popular song originally performed by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson) in The Muppet Movie in 1979. By extension, as evidenced in the TV special, The Muppets at Walt Disney World, the song has come to epitomize the ideals and artistic spirit...

Re: I'm sorry Papa

Is the answer "Rainbow's End" by any chance as it's been driving me nuts.:17418: Close. It was "The Rainbow Connection", which was a hit for Jim Henson (as Kermit the Frog). And it was covered by The Carpenters. Would yours be "The Last Waltz", by The Band? If so, try ...
