Posted on September 8, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1664, New Amsterdam was renamed #NewYork . Here is #FrankSinatra with the famous song! #singing;#feelgood

New York, New York

Start spreadin’ the news, I’m leavin’ today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New YorkI want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you, New York..New York

New York…New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I’m A number one, top of the list
King of the hill, A number one….

These little town blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you, New York..New York New York!!!

Posted on September 7, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In #1776, the world’s first submarine attack took place during the American Revolution. Here is Yellow Submarine. #singing;#feelgood

Yellow Submarine

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarinesSo we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

[Full speed ahead, Mr. Parker, full speed ahead!
Full speed over here, sir!
Action station! Action station!
Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Heaven! Heaven!]

As we live a life of ease (A life of ease)
Everyone of us (Everyone of us) has all we need (Has all we need)
Sky of blue (Sky of blue) and sea of green (Sea of green)
In our yellow (In our yellow) submarine (Submarine, ha, ha)

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

September 6th – Princess Diana funeral – “Like a Candle “

Posted on September 6, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In #1997, 2.5 billion people watched the funeral of Princess Diana. Here is “Candle in the Wind” which #Elton John performed at the service #singing;#feelgood

Like a Candle in the Wind

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your nameAnd it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

September 5th – Back to work – “9 to 5”

Posted on September 5, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

After yesterday’s song for all the kids and teachers going back to school, here is something for everyone else coming to terms with work again after the summer. It’s #DollyParton with 9 to 5!. #singing;#feelgood

9 to 5

Tumble outta bed
And I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch
And try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin’
Out on the street
The traffic starts jumpin’
The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5Workin’ 9 to 5,
What a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by
It’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It’s enough to drive you crazy
If you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won’t seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

They let you dream
Just to watch ’em shatter
You’re just a step
On the boss-man’s ladder
But you got dreams
He’ll never take away
You’re in the same boat
With a lotta your friends
Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in
‘N’ the tide’s gonna turn
And it’s all gonna roll your way

Workin’ 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by
It’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It’s enough to drive you crazy
If you let it
9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There’s a better life
And you think about it, don’t you
It’s a rich man’s game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin’ money in his wallet

9 to 5, whoa
What a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by
It’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It’s enough to drive you crazy
If you let it

9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There’s a better life
And you dream about it, don’t you
It’s a rich man’s game
No matter what they call it

Today’s song is dedicated to all those #children (and their teachers) who are going back to #school at the moment. Here is #MattBianco with Get out of your Lazy Bed. #singing;#feelgood

Get out of your Lazy Bed

Get up
get up
get out of your lazy bed.
Before I count to three – step to it
baby.
She goes out every night ’till the morning light

And she sleeps aU. day. So
come on and get up

I won’t say it again – I’ll drag you out!
Get up
get up
get out of your lazy bed. . . .
I don’t care anymore.
You can sleep on the floor
’cause I’m knocking you out.
So
come on and get up

I won’t say it again – I’ll drag you out!
Get up
get up
get out of your lazy bed.
Get up
get up
get out of your lazy bed.
Get up
get up
get out of your lazy bed. . . .

September 2nd – Great Fire of London starts – “Streets of Fire”

Posted on September 2, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1666, the Great Fire of London started. Here is Bruce Springsteen with Streets of Fire. #singing;#feelgood

Streets of Fire

When the night’s quiet and you don’t care anymore
And your eyes are tired and someone at your door
And you realize you wanna let go and the weak lies
And cold walls you embrace eat at your insides
And baby I ain’t no liar, I walk
Streets of fire, streets of fire, streets of fire, streets of fireNow I’m wandering, a loser down the track
And I’m lying, but babe I can’t go back
‘Cause in the darkness I hear somebody call my name and when you realize
How they tricked you this time and it’s all lies
But I’m strung out on the wire in these
Streets of fire, streets of fire, streets of fire, alrightI live now, only with strangers
I talk to only strangers
I walk with angels that have no place
And don’t look in my face, don’t
I’m coming home to this place
‘Cause I’m stranded on the wire across
Streets of fire, streets of fire, streets of fire, streets of fire
Hmm, hmm, heyyy
Hmm, hmm, heyyy

September 1st – Celine Dion – “My heart will go on”

Posted on September 1, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1985, the wreck of the #Titanic was found. Here’s a song from the film – maybe not feelgood – but we’ve had a month of upbeat stuff in August! Its a great tune anyway. #singing;#feelgood

My Heart will Go On

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on.Far across the distance
and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.

Near, Far,
wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.

Once more, you opened the door
And you’re here in my heart,
and my heart will go on and on.

Love can touch us one time
and last for a lifetime
And never let go till we’re gone.

Love was when I loved you,
one true time to hold on to
In my life we’ll always go on.

Near, far,
wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.

Once more, you opened the door
And you’re here in my heart,
and my heart will go on and on.

You’re here, there’s nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on.
We’ll stay, forever this way
You are safe in my heart

and my heart will go on and on.

August 31st – ELO – “Mr Blue Sky”

Posted on August 31, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

As promised – the best summer song for the last day of our summer songs selection. Let me hear you singing #singing;#feelgood

Mr Blue Sky

Sun is shinin’ in the sky,
There ain’t a cloud in sight
It’s stopped rainin’
Everybody’s in a play
And don’t you know
It’s a beautiful new day.Runnin’ down the avenue,(Pant, Pant, Pant)
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.

[Chorus:]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue
We’re so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.

Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky’s
Up there waitin’ and today
Is the day we’ve waited for

[Chorus]

Mr. Blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin’ over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I’ll remember you this way.

[Chorus]

August 30th – 10CC – “Dreadlock Holiday”

Posted on August 30, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Here is our penultimate summer song for August. I hope you have enjoyed the songs I have chosen this month. I saved the best for tomorrow. #singing;#feelgood

Dreadlock Holiday

I was walkin’ down the street
Concentratin’ on truckin’ right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked round in a state of fright
I saw four faces one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each otherI say
I don’t like cricket oh no
I love it
I don’t like cricket oh no
I love it
Don’t you walk thru my words
You got to show some respect
Don’t you walk thru my words
‘Cause you ain’t heard me out yet

Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said I’ll give you one dollar
I said you’ve got to be jokin’ man
It was a present from me Mother
He said I like it I want it
I’ll take it off your hands
And you’ll be sorry you crossed me
You’d better understand that you’re alone
A long way from home

And I say
I don’t like reggae no no
I love it
I don’t like reggae oh no
I love it
Don’t you cramp me style
Don’t you queer on me pitch
Don’t you walk thru my words
‘Cause you ain’t heard me out yet

I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin’ pina coladas
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said I’ve got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you’ll like it
And wallow in a Dreadlock Holiday

And I say
Don’t like Jamaica oh no
I love her
Don’t like Jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Don’t you walk thru her words
You got to show some respect
Don’t you walk thru her words
‘Cause you ain’t heard her out yet

I don’t like cricket
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
I don’t like reggae
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
Don’t like Jamaica
I love her (Dreadlock Holiday)

I hurried back to the swimming pool
