March 4th – Rolling Stones – “Ruby Tuesday”

In 1967, the#RollingStones went to No.1 with #RubyTuesday  #singing;#feelgood

Ruby Tuesday

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don’t matter if it’s gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I’m gonna miss you…
Don’t question why she needs to be so free
She’ll tell you it’s the only way to be
She just can’t be chained
To a life where nothing’s gained
And nothing’s lost
At such a cost
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I’m gonna miss you…
There’s no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain’t life unkind?
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I’m gonna miss you… [x2

March 3rd – Phil Collins – “Sussudio”

In 1985, #PhilCollins third solo album, “No Jacket Required” started 5 weeks at No. 1.  Here is one of the great songs from that album #singing;#feelgood

Sussudio

There’s this girl that’s been on my mind
All the time, Sussudio oh oh
Now she don’t even know my name
But I think she likes me just the same
Sussudio oh oh

Oh if she called me I’d be there
I’d come running anywhere
She’s all I need, all my life
I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio, just say the word
Oh Sussudio

Now I know that I’m too young
My love has just begun
Sussudio oh oh
Ooh give me a chance, give me a sign
I’ll show her anytime
Sussudio oh oh

Ah, I’ve just got to have her, have her now
I’ve got to get closer but I don’t know how
She makes me nervous and makes me scared
But I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio just say the word
Oh Sussudio, oh

Ah, she’s all I need all of my life
I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio I just say the word
Oh Sussudio I just say the word
Oh Sussudio I’ll say the word
Sussudio oh oh oh
Just say the word

The indisputable leader of the gang.
He’s the boss, he’s a pip, he’s the championship.
He’s the most tip top,

March 1st – St David’s Day – “Its not unusual”

It is #StDavidsDay, especially in #Wales.  Here is one of their own – #TomJones, blasting out an old favourite! #singing;#feelgood

Its not unusual

1-3 St Davids Day

It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone
It’s not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It’s not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna’ die
It’s not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it’s such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
It’s not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say
you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can’t this crazy love be mine
It’s not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It’s not unusual, to be sad with anyone
but if I ever find that you’ve changed at anytime
it’s not unusual to find out that I’m in love with you
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
1-3 Tom Jones Its not unusual

February 28th – Watson & Crick discover DNA – “Skinny Genes”

In 1953, the structure of #DNA was discovered by Watson and Crick. Here is a song by #ElizaDoolittle  #singing;#feelgood

Skinny Genes

28-2 DNA

I really don’t like your point of view
I know you’ll never change
Stinging me with your attitude
I’ve got the mind to walk awayI really don’t like your arrogance
Or your policies
You’re ninety-nine percent an embarrassment
Of just wrong qualities[Chorus:]
I don’t mind it when you [whistles]
Brings out the best in me when you [whistles]
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I’m excited
That you’ll wind up next to me
I like it when you [whistles]
Can I have some please of that [whistles]
Satisfy my needs
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you wind up next to me

I really don’t like your skinny jeans
So take them off for me
Show me what you’ve got underneath
So we can do this properly

I really don’t like the way you smile
When you think you’re right
But I will forgive you, the yoke is in the middle
And we’re chewing through the wire

[Chorus]

I dreamt that you were on a train
you were leaving, you were leaving
It made me think of what I’d miss
Do you believe it, you believe it

I don’t mind it when you [whistles]
Brings out the best in me when you [whistles]
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I’m excited
That you’ll wind up next to me

I like it when you [whistles]
Can I have some please of that [whistles]
Take off your skinny jeans
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you wind up next to me

I dreamed that you were on a train
And you were leaving, you were leaving

In 1964, they noticed that the top of the #LeaningTowerOfPisa was 17ft off centre.  What to do?  #singing;#feelgood

Lean on me

27-2 Leaning Tower of Pisa

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there’s always tomorrowLean on me when you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need somebody to lean on

Please, swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won’t let show

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load
You have to bear that you can’t carry
I’m right up the road, I’ll share your load
If you just call me

Call me (If you need a friend)
Call me (Call me uh-huh)
Call me (When you need a friend)
Call me (If you ever need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (If you need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me

Blueberry Hill

26-2 Fats Domino

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill, when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came trueThe wind in the willow played
Love’s sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we’re apart, you’re part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willow played
Love’s sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be

Though we’re apart, you’re part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

26-2 Fats Domino Blueberry Hill

February 25th – The Seekers get to No.1 – “I’ll never find another you”

In 1965, The #Seekers, got to No.1 with I’ll never find another you  #singing;#feelgood

I’ll never find another you

25-2 Seeking

There’s a new world somewhere
They call The Promised Land
And I’ll be there some day
If you will hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I’ll never find another you

There is always someone
For each of us they say
And you’ll be my someone
For ever and a day
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I’ll never find another you

It’s a long, long journey
So stay by my side
When I walk through the storm
You’ll be my guide, be my guide

If they gave me a fortune
My treasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don’t know what I’ll do
For I know I’ll never find another you

[Instrumental Interlude]

But if I should lose your love, dear
I don’t know what I’ll do
For I know I’ll never find another you

Another you, another you

25-2 Seekers Ill never find another you

Come on babe
Why don’t we paint the town?
And all that Jazz
I’m gonna rouge my knees
And roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano’s hot
It’s just a noisy hall
Where there’s a nightly brawl
And all
That

And wear your buckle shoes
And all that Jazz
I hear that Father Dip
Is gonna blow the blues
And all that Jazz
Hold on, hon
We’re gonna bunny hug
I bought some aspirin
Down at United Drug
In case you shake apart
And want a brand new start
To do that
…Jazz

[Cassandra:]
Find a flask
We’re playing fast and loose
And all that jazz

[Rachel:]
Right up here
Is where I store the juice
And all that jazz

[Cassandra:]
Come on, babe
We’re gonna brush the sky
I bet you luck Lindy
Never flew so high
‘Cause in the stratosphere
How could he lend an ear
to all that Jazz?

Oh, you’re gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

[Rachel with NYADA Dance Students:]
And all that jazz

[Cassandra:]
Oh, she’s gonna shimmy ’till her garters break

[Cassandra with NYADA Dance Students:]

Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother’s blood’d curdle

For all
