Musical Monday!
May. 1st, 2006 08:45 amHappy May Day! :) Here are my usually played Monday morning musical memes to start off the week and the brand new month.
Monday Music Mambo @ Blogdrive Insanity
The Mambo this week celebrates the working man.
Name three songs about working or the working man.
1. Salt Of The Earth - The Rolling Stones
("Let’s drink to the hard working people
Let’s drink to the lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
Let’s drink to the salt of the earth")
2. Working Class Hero - John Lennon
("As soon as you’re born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be")
3. 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
("Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin’, stretchin’, try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin’
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin’
And folks like me on the job from 9 to 5")
2. Name a few artists who champion the working man.
John Mellencamp
Bruce Springsteen
Merle Haggard
Bob Dylan
3. Name one song that gets you through your work day, either by listening to it or having it stuck in your head.
Anything Beatles that comes on while at work. Or for that matter anything they play that's cheerful and upbeat. I'm just lucky and glad that Walgreens plays some pretty alright music for a store. LOL!!
( Now watch me wax nostalgic on this weekend's musical recap... )
Mom and I were talking last night about songs like this and what songs take us immediately back to a time and place, and lamenting the fact that radio just isn't the same anymore. Back then it was AM radio, and the early infancy of FM before the corporations took over and it all turned to shite. Then satellite radio came and changed the medium for the good It's the only radio I listen to any more really.
I'm willing to share some of this 70s goodness with you... if you want anything just leave a comment. Feel free to look HERE at the contents of the box set and request anything. If I don't have it ripped already, I can quite easily do that for you.
Here's a random '70s inspired picture for you for this week:
The Toot-A-Loop!! Only those of you who understand will remember these. LOL!! And this is the *exact* one I had, mine was red, too.
