1 song you never get sick of?
There are a lot for me, but if I had to pick one, it would be
Lobo: me, you, and a dog named Boo.
there are tons, but this song, every time I hear it, the world stops, and I must sing along.
"Christmas Dream" From movie "The Odessa File". Rather appropriate for these times... christmas dream odessa file - YouTube |
Lobo: me and you and a dog named Boo. I got sick all over again just reading that. Funny story. That song came out in March 1971. That summer I am 14 years old when some distant relative or other I never met before comes and stays with us for a night. This guy, or maybe it was the girl- never met them before never saw them again- were hitch-hiking across the country. Kind of a thing back then. Had to be there I guess. Anyway, even being an inexperienced kid, just to look at them, they were a living breathing walking talking cliche. Acting for all the world like they are all special and individual, but actually conforming and stuck in the same rut as everyone else, maybe even more so. What brings this to mind is they were traveling with a dog named Boo. I'm sure they thought this was so original. Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya |

I like listening to Flowers by Miley Cyrus |
Most of songs without lyrics. Khruangbin band is one of those examples. Tigran Hamasyan or Yegor Zabelov are another champions on that genre. That is to say that songs WITH lyrics even if they are super great, I can eventually get sick from those. I already cannot stand neither Stairway to Heaven or even Shine on Your Crazy Diamond! I’d really be happy to hear "Haitian Divorce" of Steely Dan from time to time -- I don’t think it was more frequently heard than two above mentioned. Would never disagree that all songs listed are indeed great. |
Just a few of many... "Driftin’" (Hendrix/Cry of Love) "Jack Straw" (G. Dead/Europe ’72) "Let it Loose" (Stones/(Exile on M. Street) "Tulsa Queen" (EmmyLou Harris/Luxury Liner) "Rain Just Falls" (Jimmy Dale Gilmore/Fair and Square) "Lock All the Gates" (Brian Auger and Julie Tippets/Encore) "Stormy Monday" (Allmans/Live at Fillmore East) "Anyday" (D. and the Dominos/Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs) "Trust Me" (Janis/Pearl) "Down to Zero" (Joan Armatrading) "When I Get to the Border" (R. and L.
