Hit repeat, please!

Top Five on Friday @ The Music Memoirs

Top 5 songs that make you hit the repeat button (songs that you can listen to over and over again)

OMG it's hard because I tend to latch on to a song and obsess about it for awhile, file it away only to rediscover and obsess over it again later on. Ahaha!!! *ahem* Anyway. Here I guess are the songs I like to listen to the most lately:

1. Heat Of The Moment - Asia. Going through my CDs just recently, this was one I've had since my record store days, and would play it EVERY. SINGLE. SHIFT. Just rediscovered it, and uploaded it for my playlist. I love this particular track. Muchly.

2. Captain Jack - Billy Joel. I've been on Billy Joel overload since last weekend, seeing "Movin' Out", and this song... oh yes... this song! BTW if you can catch the touring company of "Movin' Out" please do. It's amazing. A-MAZING. The vocalist / piano man Darren Holden sounded incredibly like Billy without TRYING to sound like him. And the dancing! Yes. Fantastic show.

3. Milk - Garbage. Just a song I keep coming back to. ♥ "I am lost so I am cruel. But I'd be love and sweetness if I had you."

4. Within You, Without You / Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles. From "Love". Just the transition in to "Lucy In The Sky". Enough said.

5. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - U2. I loooooooove this song. Guh. Beautiful.


And I'd like to thank elfslut for mentioning (and uploading yay!) "Cupid"... the version by The Spinners. It plays at work all the time and I love it... wondered who's version it was. Now I have a mini "Cupid" collection, Sam Cooke's version, Jimmy Cliff's version, and now this one. Yesssss. :)

BTW if anyone wants anything listed here, I'll be happy to upload for you just holler.

Movin' Out

Hubby and I saw Movin' Out last year and LOVED IT! Darren Holden is so cute and talented, and I loved the dancing! I love "Captain Jack," too and always have.

I love all the Love soundtrack. I want to see Movin' Out so badly and Mamma Mia, but both seem to come at bad times :(

I love Cupid. It's such a sweet song. I'd love to hear one of the other versions if it's not too much trouble ;)

[hippie-chick.livejournal.com]

Oh you MUST see both. ABBA is love, really. :) And I thought "Movin' Out" was INCREDIBLE. Well, some of the first act dragged juuuust a touch but not much. The entire second half made up for that trillionfold though.

I love Heat of the Moment! Don't Cry is good, too, but doesn't tend to come back around so often for me.

I'm looking for who does a variant of the song Hippie Chick since that song does in my mind exactly what you describe in your first paragraph, so curious to find the very topic in a search.

I'm really liking Garbage and I just checked my library and I don't have that song. Is it possible to get it? Also, what album is it from, I'd like to explore getting that album.

Thanks so much!

If you meant the Garbage song, that's from an early one of theirs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_(Garbage_song).

Hippychick is a song from SoHo, but note it's based on a sample of a Smiths song: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soho_(band).

I'm guess as they are well documented they could both be found somewhere.

[hippie-chick.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was the Smith's "How Soon Is Now?" that was sampled there. I love the song!! :) :)

I actually have an mp3 of "Hippy Chick" by SoHo if anyone wants it.

And if anyone wants "Milk" of course I have that too. :)
