April 15th – Bottle Opener invented – “Beer Run”

Posted on April 15, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1738, the #BottleOpener was invented. Here is a song about #Beer #Singing #Feelgood

Beer Run

Twenty-five minutes past quitting time
Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine
Paying no attention to them highway signs
Doing ninety miles an hour toward the county line
Quick sack, twelve pack, back again
It’s a B Double E Double R-U-N.My buddies and their babies letting down their hair
As long as we’re together it don’t matter where
Ain’t got a lot of money but we just don’t care
Knowing half the fun is in the getting there
Aztec, long necks, paychecks spent
Oh, it’s a B Double E Double R-U-N.
I can’t stop thinking
What the hell they were drinking
When they made this county dry
I got a week-long thirst
And to make it worse
Lord, it’s my turn to drive

Laughing and bragging and a’ carrying on
We loaded up the wagons and we headed home
I guess half a dozen cases doesn’t last that long
Come tomorrow morning it’ll be all gone
Then, it’s turn around, leave town, sounds again
Like a B Double E Double R-U-N.

Huh, please don’t you rock my boat

‘Cause I don’t want my boat to be rockin’I’m tellin’ you that, oh, ooh-aah, I like it a-like a-this

Come a little closer, satisfy my …

April 13th – Nancy and Frank Sinatra record – “Somethin’ Stupid”

Posted on April 13, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1967, the #Sinatra s got to no.1. The only father and daughter combo ever to do this #Singing #Feelgood

Somethin’ Stupid

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there’s a chance
You won’t be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like “I love you”I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lies you heard the night before
And though it’s just a line to you, for me it’s true
And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I’ll wait until the evening gets late and I’m alone with you
The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night’s so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like “I love you”

[instrumental]

The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night’s so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by sayin’ something stupid like “I love you”

I love you
I love you
I love you

[Fade:]
I love you

In 1954, #BillHaleyAndTheComets recorded their greatest hit #Singing #Feelgood

Rock around the clock

One, two, three o’clock, four o’clock rock

Five, six, seven o’clock, eight o’clock rock
Nine, ten, eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock rock
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonightPut your glad rags on, join me, Hon
We’ll have some fun when the clock strikes one
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’til broad daylight
Wer’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonightWhen the clock strikes two, three and four
If the band slows down we’ll yell for more
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’til broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight[Instrumental Interlude]

When the chimes ring five, six, and seven
We’ll be right in seventh heaven
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’til broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

When it’s eight, nine, ten, eleven too
I’ll be goin’ strong and so will you
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’til broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

[Instrumental Interlude]

When the clock strikes twelve, we’ll cool off then
Start a’rockin’ round the clock again
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’til broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

April 11th – Robbie Williams raises £165k for charity – “Angels”

Posted on April 11, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 2001, #RobbieWilliams held an auction to raise money for charity. He got £27k for the handwritten lyrics of #Angels #Singing #Feelgood

Angels

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we’re grey and old
‘cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I’m loving angels instead[Chorus]

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall

Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

When I’m feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

[Chorus]

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

[Repeat Chorus]

In 1968, #CliffRichard was No.1 with his 41st release #Singing #Feelgood

Congratulations!

Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that you’re in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I’m happy as can be.Who could believe that I could be happy and contented
I used to think that happiness hadn’t been invented
But that was in the bad old days before I met you
When I let you walk into my heart

Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that you’re in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I’m happy as can be.

I was afraid that maybe you thought you were above me
That I was only fooling myself to think you loved me
But then tonight you said you couldn’t live without me
That round about me
You wanted to stay

Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that you’re in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I’m happy as can be.

Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I’m happy as can be
I want the world to know
I’m happy as can be

April 9th – Terry Jacks at No. 1 – “Seasons in the Sun”

Posted on April 9, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1974, #TerryJacks was No.1 with Seasons in the Sun. My mums favourite! #Singing #Feelgood

Seasons in the Sun

[Kian:]
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We’ve known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we’ve climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC’s
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees[Bryan:]
Goodbye my friend it’s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I’ll be there

[All:]
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

[Shane:]
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along

[Mark:]
Goodbye papa it’s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I’ll be there

[All:]
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

[Nicky:]
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground

[Shane:]
Goodbye Michelle it’s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

[All:]
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

April 7th – Its spring :-) – “It’s a Beautiful Day”

Posted on April 7, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Here’s hoping its another beautiful day in your life! #BeautifulDay by#MichaelBuble #feelgood #singing

It’s a Beautiful Day

I don’t know why
You think that you could hold me
When you couldn’t get by by yourself
And I don’t know who
Would ever want to tear the seam of someone’s dream
Baby, it’s fine, you said that we should just be friends
Well, I came up with that line and I’m sure
That it’s for the best
If you ever change your mind, don’t hold your breath’Cause you may not believe, mmm mmm mmm
That baby, I’m relieved, mmm
When you said goodbye, my whole world shined

Hey hey hey
It’s a beautiful day and I can’t stop myself from smiling
If we’re drinking, then I’m buying
And I know there’s no denying
It’s a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music’s playing
And even if it started raining
You won’t hear this boy complaining
‘Cause I’m glad that you’re the one who got away
It’s a beautiful day

It’s my turn to fly, so girls, get in line
‘Cause I’m easy, no playing this guy like a fool
Now I’m alright
Might’ve had me caged before, but not tonight

And you may not believe, mmm mmm
That baby, I’m relieved
This fire inside, it burns too bright
I don’t want to say “so long,” I just want to say “goodbye”

It’s a beautiful day and I can’t stop myself from smiling
If we’re drinking, then I’m buying
And I know there’s no denying
It’s a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music’s playing
And even if it started raining
You won’t hear this boy complaining
‘Cause I’m glad that you’re the one who got away, mmm mmm

‘Cause if you ever think I’ll take up
My time with thinking of our break-up
Then you’ve got another thing coming your way
‘Cause it’s a beautiful day, mmm mmm
Beautiful day, oh, baby, any day that you’re gone away
It’s a beautiful day
