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

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

30-6 Sony Walkman

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”

In 1859, the #NiagraFalls were crossed on a #tightrope.  Here is #StoneRoses version! ” #singing;#feelgood

29-6 Tightrope walker over Niagra

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 – It’s Wimbledon – “Dancing Shoes”

Here is another song for #Wimbledon, inspired by the players fancy footwork  #singing;#feelgood

28-6 tennis player legs

Dancing Shoes

You must’ve heard of a-little Bo Peep
She was the gal with all the sheep
A woa one day it’s a-sad to say
The sheep all ran away
She was lonely and she was blue
She was sad and a-crying too
So I told her what to do
I said “Put on your dancin’ shoes”

Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance away your blues

Mmm…
Yeah…

A friend of mine had an accident
Laughed so hard off a wall he went
A-Humpty Dumpty was his name
I guess you’ve all heard the same
He was lying on the ground
A-bits and pieces all around
So I told him what to do
I said “Put on your dancing shoes”

Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance away your blues

Mmm…
Yeah…

I’m sure you know about Jack and Jill
They’re the ones that went up the hill
A-Jack fell down and a-broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after
What a noise their crying made
It was a-ringing through the glade
So I told them what to do
And I changed their tears to laughter

Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance away your blues

Mmm put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes

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

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

28-6 South PAcific

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

28-6 Rodgers & Hammerstein Nothing like a dame

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

In 1987, #WhitneyHouston 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

27-6 Whitney Houston

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]

27-6 Whitney Houston I wanna dance with somebody

Here is a song for #Wimbledon, inspired by all the mentions of #love for the #Beatles song earlier today  #singing;#feelgood

25-6 Wimbledon lozenge

Hit me with your best shot

Well you’re the real tough cookie
With the long history
Of breaking little hearts
Like the one in me
That’s OK,
Lets see how you do it
Put up your dukes,
Lets get down to it
Hit me with your best shot
Why don’t you hit me
With your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire Away

You come on with a “come on”
You don’t fight fair
But that’s OK, see if I care
Knock me down, it’s all in vain
I’ll get right back on my feet again

Hit me with your best shot
Why don’t you hit me
With your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire Away

Well, you’re the real tough cookie
With the long history
Of breaking little hearts
Like the one in me
Before I put another notch
In my lipstick case
You better make sure
You put me in my place

Hit me with your best shot
Come On, hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire Away

Hit me with your best shot
Why don’t you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire Away

25-6 Hit me with your best shot Pat Benatar

I’m Alive

Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart

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
