EugeniaH Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 This new wave song sounded so strange to my ears when it first came out. One-hit wonder Gary Numan (1979): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldyx3KHOFXw Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I just heard that this morning while on the bike. I can see their train of thought. That song was followed by the Cars' "Candy-O" Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Oh, I love The Cars! My favorite song by them: "All Mixed Up": Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Their best little-known song was "Heartbeat City". Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 My other favorite song by them: "Bye Bye Love": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1EOV84pRvY Here's "Heartbeat City": Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Another great new-wave song I hadn't heard in a while: Human League----"The Things That Dreams are Made of", The first you-tube presented has great audio Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Yeah, I haven't heard that one in a dog's age: How 'bout this one? Missing Persons and "Destination Unknown": Link to post Share on other sites
scottman1932 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I also liked "Surrender Your Heart" by Missing Persons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szazdeVx7v8 Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Good song, Scottman. If I've heard it before, it's been a long time... It's Saturday night. Time to rock and roll! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXiulKIgGpg Link to post Share on other sites
scottman1932 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Classic Elvis! Here is a different spin (pardon the pun) on "Hound Dog" by "Big Mama" Thornton. I believe it was recorded before the classic Presley session. Link to post Share on other sites
scottman1932 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 The Easybeats: Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Wow, Big Mama's version of "Hound Dog" is raw! Whew! I like that Easybeats song, Scottman. I'll be singing it tomorrow morning... I don't know why, but as I was listening, this song suddenly popped in my mind (which was released the year after the Easybeats' tune): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jObC8vrjElU&feature=watch_response Link to post Share on other sites
mrroberts Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 "The Mighty Quinn" is one of those 45's that I ran out to buy and then literally played it to death ( wore the poor thing out and the record needle as well. ) I don't believe I have it on any of my many cd "hits compulations" . I will have to remedy that situation. Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I don't have "Quinn" in my collection, either, but like you, whenever I hear it I want to hear it a lot - such a great, catchy tune. Sticks in your head (like a good song should). (btw, hey there, mrroberts! Long time no chat. ) Edited by: EugeniaH on Jul 8, 2012 6:39 PM Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 In any case, "Hound Dog" is definitely a better song than Fabian's "Hound Dog Man". Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 This YouTube video is blocked in the U.S., darkblue, so I'm reposting it with another link: It's so interesting to hear this song. Admittedly, I've never heard of any of Dylan's more recent work, so it's kind of a "shock" to hear this 1960s-era voice on top of 1980s-era music... Kind of a cool tune - I like the effect of the backup singers. Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I was thinking of backup singing and remembered one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs, "Gimme Shelter". The woman singing with Jagger is incredible! B-) Link to post Share on other sites
casablancalover Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Joan Baez, because I cannot think of Dylan and love without this song playing: Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Oh yeah, Joan Baez. Yes, it's said that Diamonds and Rust is all about her relationship with Bob Dylan. A lovely, sad song. Complete change of pace: Yesterday in my exercise class, the instructor played the Donna Summer song, "Hot Stuff". We were as much dancing as exercising to it - it was quite fun. I believe this is the main tune used in the strip show in *The Full Monty*. She died a few months ago, didn't she? Hot Stuff, baby ! Link to post Share on other sites
casablancalover Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 ****- How sweet to change up the pace, mw! I am right with you. My favorite workout number: [The Knack|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3ADektyDhM] Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Also one of MY favorite Stones songs. It has the best intro of ANY Stones song. Just who is this woman? Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Sheesh, I don't know who she is, but Mick should be a backup singer for her! Link to post Share on other sites
