June 30th -1st Sony Walkman went on sale – “Walking on the moon”

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

In 1979, the Sony Walkman went on sale. Go for a walk on the moon with the #The Police #singing;#feelgood

Walking on the moon

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don’t break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moonWalking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don’t hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I’m wishing my days away
No way
And if it’s the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow’s another day
You stay
I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don’t break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I’m wishing my days away
No way
And if it’s the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow’s another day
You stay
I may as well play

Keep it up, keep it up [ad infinitum]

June 29th – Daredevil crosses the Niagra Falls – “Tightrope”

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1859, the Niagra Falls were crossed on a tightrope. Here is #Stone Roses version! ” #singing;#feelgood

Tightrope

You should have been an angel, it would’ve suited you
My gold-leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do
In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets
I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was completeAnd I know I’ll never want another lover, my sweet
Can there be more in this world than the
Joy of just watching you sleep?
I don’t know just what to feel
Won’t someone tell me my love’s real?

Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand
Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?
Will the sun shine all sweetness and light
Burn us to a cinder, our third stone satellite?
I’m on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high
Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
I’m on a tightrope, one thing I’ve found
I don’t know how to stop, and it’s a
Long, long, long, long way down

She’s all that ever mattered, and all that ever will
My cup, it runneth over, I’ll never get my fill
The boats in the harbour, slip from their chains
Head for new horizons, let’s do the same
I’m on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high
Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
I’m on a tightrope, one thing I’ve found
I don’t know how to stop, and it’s a tightrope baby
Nine miles high
Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
I’m on a tightrope, one thing I’ve found
I don’t know how to stop, and it’s a
Long, long, long, long way down

June 28th – Richard Rodgers born – “There is nothing like a dame”

Posted on June 28, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1902, #RichardRodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame was born. Here is a song from #SouthPacific to celebrate #singing;#feelgood

There is nothing like a dame

We’ve got sunlight on the sand
We’ve got moonlight on the sea
We’ve got mangoes and bananas we can pick right off a tree
We’ve got volleyball and ping-pong and a lot of dandy games
What ain’t we got?
We ain’t got dames!We get packages from home
We get movies, we get shows
We get speeches from our skipper
And advice from Tokyo Rose
We get letters doused with perfume,
We get dizzy from the smell
What don’t we get?
You know damn well

We’ve got nothing to put on a clean white suit for
What we need is what there ain’t no substitute for

There is nothing like a dame
Nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame

We feel restless, we feel blue
We feel lonely and in brief
We feel every kind of feeling
But the feeling of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt when he met Red Riding Hood
What don’t we feel?
We don’t feel good

Lots of things in life are beautiful but, brother
There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever
In any way, shape, or form like any other

There is nothing like a dame
Nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame

Nothing else is built the same
Nothing in the world…
Has a soft and wavy frame
Like the silhouette of a dame
There is absolutely nothing like the frame
Of a dame

[whistling]

So supposed a dame ain’t bright
Or completely free from flaws
Or as faithful as a bird-dog
Or as kind as Santa Claus
It’s a waste of time to worry over things that they have not
Be thankful for
The things they’ve got

There is nothing that you can name
That is anything like a dame

There are no books like a dame
And nothing looks like a dame
There are no drinks like a dame
And nothing thinks like a dame
Nothing acts like a dame
Or attracts like a dame
There ain’t a thing that’s wrong with any man here
That can’t be cured by putting him near
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame

June 27th – Whitney Houston – “I wanna dance with somebody”

Posted on June 27, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1987, #Whitney Houston became the first woman to enter the US album charts at No.1. Here is ” I wanna dance with somebody from around the same time. #singing;#feelgood

I Wanna Dance with Somebody

Clocks strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I’ve done alright up ’til now
It’s the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls loneliness calls[Chorus:]
Oh! Wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah! Wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

I’ve been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Soon or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who’ll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

[chorus]

I have chosen Mr Blue Sky by #ELO to celebrate summer! #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]

All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Posted on June 24, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1965, The Hollies were at No.1 with “I’m alive” #singing;#feelgood

I’m Alive

Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
‘Til you set me freeNow I can breathe, I can see, I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I’ve ever missed
I’ve never felt like this
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

I used to think I was livin’
Baby, I was wrong
No I never knew a thing about livin’
‘Til you came along

Now I can breathe, I can see, I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I’ve ever missed
I’ve never felt like this
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

[Break]

Now I can breathe, I can see, I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the love I’ve ever missed
I’ve never felt like this
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

June 23rd – 10CC – “Rubber Bullets”

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1973, #10CC had a number 1 hit with #Rubber Bullets #singing;#feelgood

Rubber Bullets

I went to a party at the local county jail
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
But the guys were indiscreet
They were brawling in the street
At the local dance at the local county jailWell the band were playing
And the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Down at Precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

I love to hear those convicts squeal
It’s a shame these slugs ain’t real
But we can’t have dancin’ at the local county jail

Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail
And for miles around
You could hear the sirens wail
There’s a rumor goin’ round death row
That a fuse is gonna blow
At the local hop at the local county jail

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

Sergeant Baker started talkin’
With a bullhorn in his hand
He was cool, he was clear
He was always in command
He said “Blood will flow;
Here Padre
Padre you talk to your boys…”
“Trust in me –
God will come to set you free”

Well we don’t understand
Why you called in the National Guard
When Uncle Sam is the one
Who belongs in the exercise yard
We all got balls and brains
But some’s got balls and chains
At the local dance at the local county jail

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

Is it really such a crime
For a guy to spend his time
At the local dance at the local county jail
At the local dance at the local county jail

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

June 22nd – Dan Brown born – “Somewhere over the rainbow”

Posted on June 22, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1962, #Dan Brown author of the #Da Vinci Code was born. In 1969 #Judy Garland died. Somewhere over the Rainbow could be said to relate to them both! #singing;#feelgood

Somewhere over the rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that’s where you’ll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,Oh why, oh why can’t I?Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, I…I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more
Than we’ll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world world

Someday I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that’s where you’ll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can’t I?
