You are right. I never heard of it before.

I love this. This should be the theme song for English teachers everywhere:

Mars Gal - I "luv" this video!        I'm a long ago Journalism/English major, so it can be extremely painful to read text messages or posts on Facebook.   I do have to admit that the years have taken their toll, and I think I've forgotten more than I remember.

That's one of my favorite Weird Al songs. You English majors should love this one as well - meaningless business jargon done in the style of Crosby, Stills and Nash...

Back in 1970, British songwriter Roger Greenaway and singer Tony Burrows had a huge hit with "Gimme Dat Ding", a novelty tune originally written for a childrens' TV special. They released a couple of albums but never had much other success. This was on their second album from 1971.

The biggest hit for Johnny Cash's younger brother. This was released in 1969 and hit #4 on the country charts in the US and #1 on the country charts in Canada.

In 1972, a somewhat obscure country rock group called Clean Living released a song titled "In Heaven There Is No Beer" - an English version of a German tune from the 50s. The song managed to hit #49 on the pop chart in the US and was a huge hit on the Dr. Demento radio show, which focuses on weird/humorous music. In reality, the group was quite talented, as evidenced by the first track from their second album.

Michael - I'm not a fan of obscure CW music, but this one wasn't so bad.  I couldn't understand the lyrics at all?  Don't know if it was the recording, his voice, or my ears?   There are a few CW songs that I actually like, by crossover artists like Willie Nelson or Linda Ronstadt. I'll see if I can find one to post?   

It's that time of the year

Rick - That's a cool, jazzy  version of "September in the Rain".     One of my Fall favorites, along with "Autumn Leaves" and "September Song".

How about ---

Fun fact... "Autumn Leaves" is an English version of a French song.

Michael - I like that song, and I loved the movie, La Vie En Rose, about the life of Edith Piaf.  If you haven't seen it, give it a look, and I'm pretty sure you'll like it.  The actress who played Piaf, Marion Cottilard,  won the  Best Actress Academy Award in 2007 for her performance.  It's a wonderful movie, with lots of great music.  Here's the song she was most famous for.

This should wake you up -
       

Rick, Sorry, I can't put a like on that one!       

Rick, that is the only bit I liked about Also Sprach Zarathustra, op. 30. when I first heard it. My opinion has improved with along with my age.

Another to wake you up, Aaron Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man.

I like this. It is the first time I ever heard it or of him. He suffered from major health issues, and at the age of 28, committed suicide. Sad.

Can't win em all.
Did you see that movie?

There are a bunch of "items" under the listing for "ANIMUSIC".  Betting Marilyne will not care for them, but MarsGal might. I like it mostly for it's technical aspect. May post one later when I have some time.

Rick - I did see the movie, in a theater in San Francisco, about 60 years ago?  I'm glad I saw it, but never wanted to watch it again.  The visuals were spectacular, but the music was far from enjoyable for me.  Can't believe it has been that long . . . I don't remember much about it.

I need someone to tell me how to remove severial of these old post's

Rick, I never heard of the term ANAMUSIC before. Looked it up. So, it is a music company that animates MIDI music. Now MIDI I do know about, as well as the older electronic synthesizer (not computerized) called MOOG. MOOG is still in business, but here is one of the earliest models from Leonard Burnstein's' Young People's Concert:

MarsGal, or anyone.
Go to Youtube and put - Animusic - into their search. Lots of choices.
An example -

I like this one Rick!

My entry for the morning.  Good background listening.

One of my favorite old standards from the past.   I like that smooth trombone solo.

There is just so much to remember.  So many memories.

A beautiful song, and a beautiful voice - Andy Williams, singing "September Song", from the Broadway musical,  Knickerbocker Holiday.   The story was written especially for older folks, nearing the end of the road.
