October 9th – Hoover Dam starts to power LA – “Electricity”

Posted on October 9, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1936, the#HooverDam started to power Los Angeles with #electricity.  Here is #EltonJohn with the song of the same name. #singing;#feelgood

Electricity

I can’t really explain it, I haven’t got the words
It’s a feeling that you can’t control
I suppose it’s like forgetting, losing who you are
And at the same time something makes you whole

It’s like that there’s a music, playing in your ear
And I’m listening, and I’m listening, and then I disappear

And then I feel a change, like a fire deep inside
Something bursting me wide open, impossible to hide
And suddenly I’m flying, flying like a bird
Like Electricity, electricity
Sparks inside of me, and I’m free, I’m free

It’s a bit like being angry; it’s a bit like being scared
Confused and all mixed up and mad as hell
It’s like when you’ve been crying
And you’re empty and you’re full
I don’t know what it is, it’s hard to tell

It’s like that there’s some music, playing in your ear
But the music is impossible, impossible to hear

But then I feel it move me
Like a burning deep inside
Something bursting me wide open
Impossible to hide
And suddenly I’m flying
Flying like a bird
Like Electricity, electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I’m free, I’m free

Electricity sparks inside of me
And I’m free, I’m free

9-10 Elton John Electricity

Great Balls of Fire

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

I learned to love all of Hollywood money
You came along and you moved me honey
I changed my mind, looking fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

You kissed me baba, woo…..it feels good
Hold me baby, I only love you like a lover should
Your fine, so kind
I wanna tell this world that your mine mine mine

I chew my nails and I tweedle my thumbs
I’m really nervous but it sure is fun
Come on baby, drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

Well kiss me baby, woo-oooooo….it feels good
Hold me baby
I only love you like a lover should
Your fine, so kind
I wanna tell this world that your mine mine mine

I chew my nails and I tweedle my thumbs
I’m real nervous ’cause it sure is fun
Come on baby, drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

October 7th – Bond is back in “Never say never again”

Posted on October 7, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1983, #SeanConnery played #JamesBond in Never say never again, the “unofficial” #Bond film. #singing;#feelgood

Never say never again

You walk in a room,
A woman can feel the heat.
One look is a guarantee
Nights could be long and sweet.
The message is clear
Like nothing I’ve ever known.
But the more that I hear,
Forget about long-range plans
‘Cause this man’s got his own.To get mixed up with a man who says never
May be big trouble, but then
I just could be the woman to take you
And make you never say never again.Never, never say never again.
Never, never say never again.
Never, never say never again.
Never, never say never again.

You’ve got all the moves.
Ah, but baby I’ve got them too.
No matter your attitude or your mood
I’ll come through.
The touch of your voice.
The feel of your eyes on me.
You leave me no choice.
Though I know there’s danger there
I don’t care, let it be.

To get it bad with a man who says never
May have no future, but then
I just could be the woman to reach you
And teach you to never say never again.

I’ll beg you.
I’ll get you.
I’ll reach you.
I’ll teach you.
I’ll take you.
I’ll make you

October 6th – Jane Eyre published – “Woman in Love”

Posted on October 6, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1847, #CharlotteBronte published her novel #JaneEyre .  It concerns a woman in love with Mr Rochester.  Here is #BarbraStreisland #singing;#feelgood

Woman in Love

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It’s a lonelier place
I kiss the morning goodbye
Down inside, you know we never know why
The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I’d do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It’s a right I deserve
Over and over again
What do I do

With you eternally mine
In love there is no measure of time
We planned it all at the start
You and I live in each other’s heart
We may be oceans away
You’ll feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I’d do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It’s a right I deserve
Over and over again
What do I do

I am a woman in love
And I’m talking to you
You know I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It’s a right I deserve
Over and over again

I am a woman in love
And I’d do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It’s a right I deserve
Over and over again

Posted on October 5, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1919, Enzo #Ferrari raced for the first time.  Here are #FleetwoodMac with #TheChain from the BBC #F1 coverage.  #singing;#feelgood

The Chain

Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
And if
You don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain.
List to the wind blow
Down comes the night
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
Break the silence
Damn the dark
Damn the light
And if
You don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain.

October 2nd – Charles Darwin returns to England – “I will survive”

Posted on October 2, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1836, #CharlesDarwin returned to England to write about survival of the fittest.  Today #GloriaGaynor proves the idea is still current.  #singing;#feelgood

I will survive

First I was afraid, I was petrified
kept thinking I could never live without you
by my side
But then I spent so many nights
thinking in how you did me wrong
and I grew strong
and I learned how to get along

And so you’re back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad
look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I’d had known for just one second
you’d be back to bother me

Oh now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried
to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
and I’ve got all my love to give
and I’ll survive, I will survive hey hey

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces
of my broken heart

And I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
but now I hold my head up high
And you see in me, somebody new
I’m not that chained up little person
still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
but now I’m saving all my loving
for someone who’s loving me

Oh now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried
to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
and I’ve got all my love to give
and I’ll survive
I will survive
hey, hey

2-10 Gloria Gaynor I will survive

October 1st – Music radio is predicted – “Radio”

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1920 #ScientificAmerican magazine predicted radio could be used to transmit music into our housed.  #RobbieWilliams sings about #radio 90 years later.  #singing;#feelgood

Radio

Ouch

He’s chosen my attic
I feel it in the static
He lives in my basement
And I can hardly face it
My performance is easy
I am the god of romance
And in my confusion
I have the right to reign

He’s stolen my Oscars
He trades on my jokes
He makes all my engines go oh oh oh oh
He puts an “e” in the arsenal
A comb in my ‘fro
Devine retribution
And away we will go
Hey hey hey hey

Something’s happening I can feel it
Moving out of time you’ll hear it
Falling in the way you fear it
Jumping thumping shout out something
Jumping thumping shout out something

Listen to the radio
And you will hear the songs you know
Make it effervescent here
And you might have a job my dear
My dear

I’m searching for something
Beyond my understanding
Looking for meaning
Where nothing is demanding
There are no surprises
Where nothing is expected
If you offer nothing
Then everyone accepts

He’s stolen my Oscars
He trades on my jokes
He makes all my engines go oh oh oh oh
He puts an “e” in the arsenal
A comb in my ‘fro
Devine retribution
And away we will go
Hey hey hey hey

Something’s happening I can feel it
Moving out of time you’ll hear it
Falling in the way you fear it
Jumping thumping shout out something
Jumping thumping shout out something
Listen to the radio
And you will hear the songs you know
Make it effervescent here
And you might have a job my dear
My dear

Ouch
Ouch
Ouch
Radio
Ouch ouch
Ouch
Ouch
Radio

Something’s happening I can feel it
Moving out of time you’ll hear it
Falling in the way you fear it
Jumping thumping shout out something

Something’s happening I can feel it
Moving out of time you’ll hear it
Falling in the way you fear it
Jumping thumping shout out something

Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio

September 30th – James Dean killed – “James Dean”

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1955, #JamesDean was killed in a car crash.  Here the #Eagles sing their song of the same name  #singing;#feelgood

James Dean

James Dean, James Dean
I know just what you mean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look allright
If I could see it on the silver screen

You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

We’ll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
You were just too cool for school
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
The only thing that got you off was breakin’ all the rules
James Dean, James Dean
So hungry and so lean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

Little James Dean, up on the screen
Wond’rin’ who he might be
Along came a Spyder and picked up a rider
And took him down the road to eternity

James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
You were to fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye, bye30-9 Eagles James Dean
