March 15th – Ides of March – Julius Caesar stabbed – “Hail Caesar”

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

In 44BC, Julius #Caesar was stabbed on the #IdesOfMarch. This is not a typical Today I’m Singing band, but the title was too good to ignore!

Hail Caesar

He be the count of Monte Cristo
Could be a quake any day
Maybe somebody from siam
Begin the era of a new rage
Keeps lickin’ all the honey
Chewin’ up the fat he rakes
Instead of sending to the lions
They cover him with praiseAll hail Caesar
Hail! hail!

Down at the epicenter
Things started heatin’ up
Rockin’ up the richter scale
Swingin’ in the chariot
Around and around we go
The senators rehearse the tale
Starring in the Coliseum
Tied upon the rack
Up comes the thumb of Caesar
To stab you in the back

All hail Caesar
Hail! hail!

Down at the epicenter
Things started heatin’ up
Rockin’ up the richter scale
Swingin’ in the chariot
Around and around we go
The senators rehearse the tale

Watch out Caesar

I said hail

Hail! hail!

All hail Caesar
Hail! hail!

You need eyes in the back of your head boy,
Or you’re dead.

March 14th – Einstein born – “Quantum of Solace” theme song

Posted on March 14, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1879, Albert #Einstein was born. An expert in quantum physics, here is the theme tune from the Bond film

Another way to die

Another ringer with the slick trigger finger
For Her Majesty
Another one with the golden tongue
Poisoning your fantasy
Another bill from a killer turned a thriller
To a tragedy[Chorus:]
Yeah
A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in your eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
It’s just
Another way to die

Another tricky little gun giving solace to the one
That’ll never see the sun shine
Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother
In the nick of time
Another dirty money heaven sent honey
Turning on a dime

[Chorus]

(It’s just another)
Hey!
(It’s just another)
You’re nothing to me die
(It’s just another)
Shoot ’em up bang bang

Another girl with her finger on the world
Singing to you what you wanna hear
Another gun thrown down in surrender
Took away your fear
Another man there he stands right behind you
Looking in the mirror

[Chorus]

It’s just another
It’s just another
It’s just another way
Shoot ’em up, bang bang
Hey Hey
It’s just another
Yeah Yeah

It’s just another
It’s just another
It’s just another
It’s just another day

Bang bang bang bang

March 12th – Its spring :-) – “It’s getting better every day”

Posted on March 12, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Let’s celebrate the wonderful longer days again, birds tweeting and bulbs sprouting that is #spring! #feelgood #singing

It’s getting better every day

Once I believed that when love came to me
It would come with rockets, bells and poetry
But with me and you it just started quietly and grew
And believe it or not
Now there’s something groovy and good
Bout whatever we got
And it’s getting better
Growing stronger warm and wilder
Getting better everyday, better everyday
I don’t feel all turned on and starry eyed
I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside
Holding you at night just seems kind of natural and right
And it’s not hard to see
That it isn’t half of what it’s going to turn out to be
Cause it’s getting better
Growing stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better everyday, better everyday
And just like a flower that takes time to bloom
This love of ours is taking time to grow
Ba da da da da da da da da da da da
And I don’t mind waitin’, don’t mind waitin’
Cause no matter how long it takes
The two of us know
That it’s getting better
Growing stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better everyday, better everyday

March 11th – Paul McCartney knighted – “Eleanor Rigby”

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

In 1997, #PaulMcCartney of the #Beatles was #knight ed. Here is of my favourite songs #EleanorRigby from the album #Revolver

Eleanor Rigby

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely peopleEleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

March 10th – Diana Ross- “Chain Reaction”

Posted on March 10, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1986 #DianaRoss was at No.1 in the UK with #ChainReaction. Sing this as you walk along and start one yourself #singing;#feelgood

Chain Reaction

You took a mystery and made me want it
You got a pedestal and put me on it
You made me love you out of feeling nothing
Something that you do
And I was there and not dancing with anyone
You took a little, then you took me over
You set your mark on stealing my heart away
Crying, trying, anything for you

I’m in the middle of a chain reaction
You give me all the after midnight action
(don’t pass me by) {background same time as above}
I wanna get you where I can let you make all that love to me
I’m on a journey for the inspiration
To anywhere and there ain’t no salvation
(don’t make me cry) {background same time as above}
I need you to get me nearer to you
So you can set me free
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love

You make me tremble when your hand moves lower
You taste a little then you swollow slower
Nature has a way of yielding treasure
Pleasure made for you, oh
You gotta plan, your future is on the run
Shine a light for the whole world over
You never find your love if you hide away
Crying, dying, all you gotta do is

Get in the middle of a chain reaction
You get a medal when you’re lost in action
(don’t pass me by) {background same time as above}
I wanna get your love all ready for the sweet sensation
Instant radiation
You let me hold you for the first explosion
We get a picture of our love in motion
(don’t make me cry) {background same time as above}
My arms will cover, my lips will smother you
With no more left to say
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
You let me hold you for the first explosion
Arms will cover you

All you gotta do is get in the middle of a chain reaction
You get a medal when you’re lost in action
Don’t pass me by
I wanna get your love all ready for the chain reaction…

March 8th – Its spring :-) – “New Life”

Posted on March 8, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Let’s celebrate the wonderful longer days, birds tweeting and bulbs sprouting that is #spring! #feelgood #singing

New Life

I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red dangerComplicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

Transitions to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Features fuse and your shadow’s red
Like a film I’ve seen now show me

Your face is hidden and were out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answers nowhere

I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger

March 7th – Telephone is patented – “Hanging on the telephone”

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

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell patented the #telephone. It transformed the world. Here is #Blondie

Hanging on the telephone

I’m in the phone booth, it’s the one across the hall
If you don’t answer, I’ll just ring it off the wall
I know he’s there, but I just had to call
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she’s going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh why can’t we talk again
Oh why can’t we talk again
Oh why can’t we talk again
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephoneIt’s good to hear your voice, you know it’s been so long
If I don’t get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you’ve known all along
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I’d like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can’t control myself
Oh I can’t control myself
Oh I can’t control myself
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone

Hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah oh oh oh run to me
