August 3rd – Sylvia – “Hey Viva Espana”

Posted on August 3, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

You can’t have a list of summer songs without the cheesy ones. Here is “Hey viva Espana” #singing;#feelgood

Hey viva Espana

All the ladies fell for Rudolph Valentino
He had a beano back in those barmy days
He knew everytime you need to ice a creature
You’ve gotta teach her hot blooded Latin ways
But even though they would have felt the strain
Of making smooth advances in the rain

Oh this year I‘m off to sunny Spain
Y Viva Espana
I’m taking the Costa Brava plane
Y Viva Espana
If you’d like to check a matador
In sun cool Cabana
And lead senoritas by the score
Espana por favor

Quite by chance to hot romance I’ve found the answer
Flamenco dances are far the finest bet
There was one who whispered “Ooh Asta La Vista”
Each time I kissed him behind the castanet
He rattled his maracas close to me
In no time I was trembling at the knees

When they first arrive the girls are pink and pasty
But oh so tasty as soon as they go brown
I guess they know every fellow will be queuing
To do the wooing his girlfriend won’t allow
But still I think today’s a lucky day
Thats why I learnt the way to shout “Olay!”

La la la lalalala la
Y Viva Espana
La la la lalalala la
Y Viva Espana

If you’d like to check a matador
In sun cool Cabana
And lead senoritas by the score
Espana por favor
Espana por favor

August 2nd – The Tams – “Be young, be foolish, be happy”

Posted on August 2, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Here are #TheTams with feelgood song number 2 for August. Share with your friends! #singing;#feelgood#SummerSong

Be young, be foolish, be happy

Be young, be foolish, but be happy
Be young, be foolish, but be happyDon’t let the rain get you down it’s a waste of time
Have your fun, live every day in the bright sunshine
It’s the same old story all over the world
Girl needs boy and boy needs girl

So be young, be foolish, but be happy
Be young, be foolish, but be happy

Don’t let love slip away
Live your life for today

Life is too short to worry about unimportant things
Reach for the sky and touch a star, and then you’ll find you dream
Because dreaming alone is a shame indeed
But if you’ve got love, that’s all you’ll need

So be young, be foolish, girl be happy
Be young, be foolish, girl be happy
Be young, be foolish, girl be happy

Posted on August 1, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Here are the #Beachboys with the first feelgood song of the month. Share with your friends! #singing;#feelgood#SummerSong

Good Vibrations

I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the airI’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations (Oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (Excitations)

Close my eyes, she’s somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations (Oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (Excitations)

(Ahh)
(Ah, my my, what elation)
I don’t know where but she sends me there
(Oh, my my, what a sensation)
(Oh, my my, what elation)
(Oh, my my, what)

Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’

(Ahh)

Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
(I’m pickin’ up good vibrations) (Oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations

Na na na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na (Bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do do do do do, do do do (Bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do do do do do, do do do (Bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)

July 31st – Ranger 7 photographs the moon – “Moon River”

Posted on July 31, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1964, the Ranger 7 spacecraft photographed the #moon. It wasn’t made of cheese and the rivers didn’t have any water in them #singing;#feelgood

Moon River

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I’m crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you’re going I’m going your way.

Two drifters off to see the world.
There’s such a lot of world to see.
We’re after the same rainbow’s end–
waiting ’round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

July 30th – England win the World Cup! – “We are the champions”

Posted on July 30, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1966#England beat #Germany in the #WorldCup. There can only be one song for this occasion! #singing;#feelgood

We are the champions

I’ve paid my dues
Time after time.
I’ve done my sentence
But committed no crime.
And bad mistakes ‒
I’ve made a few.
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through.(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)We are the champions, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions of the world.

I’ve taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it’s been no bed of roses,
No pleasure cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain’t gonna lose.

(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)

We are the champions, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions of the world.

We are the champions, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions.

In 1981 #PrinceCharles and Lady Diana Spencer got married. And, coincidentally in 1978 “Your the one that I want” from #Grease went to No.1 #singing;#feelgood

You’re the one that I want

I got chills
They’re multiplying
And I’m losing control
‘Cause the power you’re supplying
It’s electrifying!You better shape up
‘Cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left
Nothing left for me to doYou’re the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed

If you’re filled
With affection
You’re to shy to convey
Better take my direction
Feel your way

I better shape up
‘Cause you need a man
I need a man
Who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up
If I’m gonna prove
You better prove
That my faith is justified
Are you sure
Yes I’m sure down deep inside

You’re the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed

29-7 John Travolta Youre the one that I want

July 27th – First jet plane test flight – “When you’re a jet”

Posted on July 27, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1949 the first #Jet Plane made a test flight. Here is “When you’re a Jet” from #WestsideStory #singing;#feelgood

When you’re a Jet

When you’re a Jet,
You’re a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin’ day.When you’re a Jet,
If the spit hits the fan,
You got brothers around,
You’re a family man!You’re never alone,
You’re never disconnected!
You’re home with your own:
When company’s expected,
You’re well protected!

Then you are set
With a capital J,
Which you’ll never forget
Till they cart you away.
When you’re a Jet,
You stay a Jet!

(Spoken) I know Tony like I know me. I guarantee you can count him in.

ACTION: In, out, let’s get crackin’.

A-RAB: Where you gonna find Bernardo?

RIFF: At the dance tonight at the gym.

BIG DEAL: But the gym’s neutral territory.

RIFF: (Innocently) I’m gonna make nice there! I’m only gonna challenge him.

A-RAB: Great, Daddy-O!

RIFF: So everybody dress up sweet and sharp.

ALL (Sing)
Oh, when the Jets fall in at the cornball dance,
We’ll be the sweetest dressin’ gang in pants!
And when the chicks dig us in our Jet black ties,
They’re gonna flip, gonna flop, gonna drop like flies!

RIFF: (Spoken) Hey. Cool. Easy. Sweet. Meet Tony and me at ten. And walk tall!

A-RAB: We always walk tall!

BABY JOHN: We’re Jets!

ACTION: The greatest!

ACTION and BABY JOHN (Sing)
When you’re a Jet,
You’re the top cat in town,
You’re the gold medal kid
With the heavyweight crown!

A-RAB, ACTION, BIG DEAL
When you’re a Jet,
You’re the swingin’est thing:
Little boy, you’re a man;
Little man, you’re a king!

ALL
The Jets are in gear,
Our cylinders are clickin’!
The Sharks’ll steer clear
‘Cause ev’ry Puerto Rican’s a lousy chicken!

Here come the Jets
Like a bat out of hell.
Someone gets in our way,
Someone don’t feel so well!

Here come the Jets:
Little world, step aside!
Better go underground,
Better run, better hide!

We’re drawin’ the line,
So keep your noses hidden!
We’re hangin’ a sign,
Says “Visitors forbidden”
And we ain’t kiddin’!

Here come the Jets,
Yeah! And we’re gonna beat
Ev’ry last buggin’ gang
On the whole buggin’ street!
On the whole!
Ever!
Mother!
Lovin’!
Street!
Yeah!

July 26th – Mick Jagger born – “It’s only rock and roll”

Posted on July 26, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1943 #MickJagger was born and in 1974 graffiti artists were paid to spray sites in London to promote the #RollingStones new single #singing;#feelgood

It’s only rock and roll

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain’t he strange?If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can’t you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on the stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?

If I could dig down deep down in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy’s insane? He’s insane

I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, yeah, I like it, I like it
I said can’t you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

And do ya think that you’re the only girl around?
I bet you think you’re the only woman in town
Oh, yeah

I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
Oh, I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it, oh yeah
I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, ah, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
(Only rock ‘n roll but) I like it…
