Day 395 - Heart - Barracuda

DAY 395
Heart - "Barracuda"
From "Little Queen"



This is most assuredly one of the best rock songs ever written. The driving guitar riffs and powerfully passionate vocals delivered my my hero, Ms. Ann Wilson, just make this song a rockin' piece of music history.

Anyone who knows me knows my love of Heart and Ann Wilson especially so there is not much else I can say... These ladies are just an inspiration and changed the face of women in music forever.

Check out Heart performing "Barracuda" in 1977 on this YouTube clip.... classic and wonderful!

Day 394 - Cyndi Lauper - She Bop

DAY 394
Cyndi Lauper - "She Bop"
From "She's So Unusual"



Ya just gotta love a song about masturbation.... who knew??? Hahaha!

I was about 6 years old when this album came out and my Mom was a huge fan of Cyndi Lauper and she bought this on vinyl and we all listened to it repeatedly... practically wore it out...

Cyndi Lauper is such an amazing talent and truly is unusual in the most wonderful way. This song is fun, upbeat, and a lil dirty.... definitely an important contributor to my musical taste and history no doubt.

Check out the song and video on this YouTube clip... I love these dated video's.... :)

Day 393 - The Beatles - Girl

DAY 393
The Beatles - "Girl"
From "Rubber Soul"



I have revamped my thinking on my top 10,000 and want it to feel more like a fun thing and not a chore so I will actually get to it. So I am just going to pick like I have in the past and pick whatever feels right for that day or just any random song I like just because I can.

Today is one of those days where I just thought of an artist I adore and The Beatles are an easy one because their catalog is so gigantic, I knew I would be able to pick a song in minutes.

"Girl" is actually one of my all time favorite Beatles tracks because the arrangement is unique, and the breaths that John takes while singing are so sexy and romantic in a backwards kind of dark sort of way it makes me swoon. This is one of those songs you could only dream of having inspired... it is so beautiful. That sounds strange given the content of the lyrics, but to have been able to create this kind of emotion in another person is just amazing to me...

My darling hubby actually made a cover of this song which I enjoy immensely. I can pretend he wrote and sang it for me right? ;) (I am not coy enough nor do I have enough ego to of inspired something quite like this but, again, I can pretend... hahaha...)

Day 392 - The Kooks - Mr. Maker

DAY 392
The Kooks - "Mr. Maker"
From "Konk"



Back on my Kooks kick! Oh man I love this new album and Glenn pointed out today that I had not picked a song from "Konk" yet and mentioned how he had beat me to picking this track. This is definitely one of if not my absolute fav track on this new album.

I just adore the fun music The Kooks create. It is so amazingly refreshing!!! And again I have to say I adore the fact that they are average looking fellows... Again, SO refreshing.

My favorite line in this song is:

Heart beat, stay heavy
Love us all please, stay on your feet
For me, for me
Stay on your feet
For me, for me
Stay on your feet for me

I love the way he sings the lyrics in that specific portion of the song.

This song makes me HAVE to dance and feels so good in my ears and my head... :)

Check out the song here, but alos check out this live performance as well! Excellent stuff... the live performance reminds me a lot of when Glenn and I jam with friends... I adore the slightly off notes... those off notes show us no one is perfect but it is genuine and endearing to me.

Day 391 - Jack Johnson - Crying Shame

DAY 391
Jack Johnson - "Crying Shame"
From "In Between Dreams



Man, I just adore this whole album. I finally went out and bought a brand spankin' new copy because I had to own this music.

This song is a little more serious lyrically for a Jack Johnson song. I absolutely adore the musical arrangement. This track contains so many hooks and is just loaded with ear candy. It grooves so nicely for an acoustic song.

The little flourishes Jack throws in on the guitar here and there just make this song come alive!

Check out the song on this YouTube clip. (Not too big on the video footage, but the song is fitting for what they are going for I suppose...)

Day 390 - Lawn Gnome Barbershop Mutants - Tonight You Belong To Me (cover)

DAY 390
Lawn Gnome Barbershop Mutants - "Tonight You Belong To Me (cover)"




The Lawn Gnome Barbershop Mutants are just one of a million or more reasons I love my husband.

Glenn has expanded on his Lawn Gnome music catalog by recording a cover of "You Belong To Me", (inspired by the duet by Patience & Prudence)

My husband knows what cracks me up and pitch shifted voices definitely get me every time. this is just a fun little project and I love it!
