Music you're embarassed to admit you like...

Well, I am not ashamed of the music I listen to, but forget there was another post about the music we like.............:laugh:

Cheers,

Jim

 

I like a lot of songs from the old Sing-Along-With Mitch TV Show.I barely remember the program from my childhood.But I found a lot of his stuff on youtube like "Five Foot Two -- Eyes Of Blue".It's primarily just a bunch of men singing together very well.The harmony is superb.

Leslie Uggams did a song on there that I really enjoy:Atchinison, Topeka And The Santa Fe.That song is wonderful.She knew (and knows) how to belt them out of the park.

I like Mireille Mathieu.She is a singer's singer.

Some selections that I enjoy are :

La Derniere Valse
Les Bicyclettes De Belsize
Je Ne Suis Rien Sans Toi
Akropolis Adieu
Mon Credo

 

"Last Train to Clarksville" and "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone" by The Monkees
"Lovin' Things" by The Grass Roots
"Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies

There. So go ahead and make fun of me now!!

 

No,make fun of my selections first!

 

I know for sure you would have fun wif my songs:

The Barrer Boy Song:

Up the apples and pears and across the rory o"moore
Up to see me dear ol' trouble and strife
A pair of jack the rippers and a cuppa rosie lea.
Wot could be better n this, a bit of a cuddle and kiss,
Out beneath the pale moonlight.........
When little tommy tucker goes up to uncle ned
blows out the 'arry randle and a jolly good night instead.

Or, Boiled Beef and Carrot. then
Burlington Bertie from Bow...Then there's Where Did You Get that 'at? and close 'em off wif, Wot Cher!

Time gentlemen, please and 'ave a good night.

Cheers,

Jim

 

I would, but I am only familiar with the first two. :thumbs:

 

I haven't heard of any of those Rippon mentioned. Also, I can't understand why anyone would be ashamed of any music they like. If they're ashamed to admit to listening to it, then maybe God is trying to tell them something.

 

"Like" and "listen to" are two different things.

I like the sound on a certain performer. I don't like the words, the philosophy, the lifestyle promoted, or the character of the now dead performer. But I do like the sound of his music.


So I choose not to listen to the music I like.

 

I am not much of a Southern Gospel person but I do listen to a little Gold City.

 

I love the BeeGees! Come to think of it, I just love disco.

Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake,
shake your.......













Not really.
The only thing worse than disco is rap and hip hop.

This part is for real. I love opera. Yes, ma'am, a genuine can't understand a single word you're singing opera. I used to have this conversion van with a 1200 watt (rms) stereo system blasting Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro. And what of Puccinni's Tosca? "O Scarpia, avanti a Dio!"

 

The common wedding march used in a lot of weddings comes from an opera........and a not so nice scene.

Cheers,

Jim

 

I love Bony M....you know

Last flight to Venus
Steppenwolf
Brown girl in the ring
Rasputin

 

Stainer's The Crucifixion ... musical purists pan it for being sentimental and lush. But that has appealed to me ever since, many years ago, I played the organ accompaniment for a presentation of the piece.

 

That there is funny! I can picture the van with shag carpet and a disco ball hanging low blasting Mozart!

I confess I like some rap. The old school rap though.

 

I LOVE Sinead O'Connor. I saw her in concert once, and she was amazing.

But I am glad she stopped shaving her head.

 

Sinead really changed her attitude in public after she shaved her head. Maybe that was a good thing. Her stage presence sure improved.

Cheers,

Jim

 

FREE BIRD!! by Lynard Skynard
BOND (the all girl clasical rock) instrumental group
YMCA did I say that outloud?

 

I once went to the local Wal-Mart and got a "Jerry Clower", a "Ray Stevens", and a "Beethoven" tape. The cashier looked at me funny.

 

:love2: One of the all time greats!! (I think it's spelled Lynnard Skynnard). I just heard this on the radio the other day (the full long version).

No reason to be embarrassed about liking this.

 

It is Lynyrd Skynyrd, I just check cd. I just get weird looks when others hear it playing, unless I am on my motorcycle.:thumbs:
