“Wherever that river goes That’s where I want to be” Good post! 👍🏼
Groovy ✌🏼😁
Nice 👍🏼
Those French crooners get me every time. I love seeing an original and version in the same post
Charles Trenet’s version 👍🏼 good one
Beautiful 😍 nice pick!
She really does it justice. Thanks for sharing. I hope you don’t mind if I leave this here too m.youtube.com/watch?v=5som...
#MusicChallenge #MotherNatureSong 9/02 Check out the moving footage of his people Scattering his ashes (when Iz passed) near the end of this video Somewhere over the rainbow ~ Israel Kamakawiwoʻole (1993) m.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bF... Judy Garland (1939) m.youtube.com/watch?v=PSZx...
So many of your images amaze and never cease to invoke a sense of awe 👍🏼
IMHO his best album. Every track a pleasure to listen to ✌🏼
The trouble is that these days there are apparently “alternative facts”. 🤔 I gotta agree with you about truth, it’s absolute. Where we disagree, then it should be respectful. However I hold no respect for those burning down our house. The paradox of tolerance and all that 👍🏼
Thanks for the clarification. It’s sometimes difficult to understand someone’s intent from a short post ✌🏼
Even when a petty vindictive bastard is now President and is dog whistling his goons apparently
Oh yeah! That’s what I’m talking about! ✌🏼
Seriously good 👍🏼
One ship sails East, another West, On the self same winds that blow It’s the set of the sails Not the gales That determine the way we go ✌🏼
Just for comparison. ✌🏼 I hope you don’t mind if I leave this here The Paragons (1967) m.youtube.com/watch?v=SQXq...
#MusicChallenge #MotherNatureSong 9/01 When did you last hear a Pygmy sing? One of my favourite albums 💚✌🏼 A mix of new age electronica and UNESCO field recordings. Chill out with Deep Forest ~ Deep forest (1992) m.youtube.com/watch?v=ovwG...
You’re too kind. I do appreciate your kind words though 🎶🙏🏻
Joyful! Great post. ✌🏼
Hauntingly beautiful song Pap, I haven’t heard it for years and appreciate the post 👍🏼
Thanks Elizabeth, I notice I wasn’t the only one who saved the best ‘til last. Pity there’s no recording of the original I would have loved to hear his vocals m.youtube.com/watch?v=eF3j...
#FirstNameInSong @lagrume.bsky.social All hail the mighty lagrume ! For this month’s inspiring challenge. A simple task like posting a song with first name resulted in such fun times. I’ve enjoyed the memories, discoveries and connections. Huge thank you 🙏🏻 m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Vw...
#FirstNameInSong 8/31 I mean no disrespect posting this song An unsettling message about race (that’s why they call me) Shine ~ Lois Armstrong (1942) m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcsf... Listen to the Ry Cooder version (1978) At the bottom of this commentary 👇🏼 terenceblacker.com/the-friday-s...
Too true
Somewhere along the way “well regulated” went out the window too
Good one 👍🏼
That’s a yes from me
I see what you did there
🤘
You didn’t get a mention I notice 🤔
Great post Elizabeth, love this 🙏🏻
I really shouldn’t make light of what is an appalling situation there. Ashley Babbitt’s estate’s five million payout and full military honours? Astounding. Imagine the response if BLM had attacked the capital causing millions of dollars damage and injuring 175 police officers!
Come on Patty, fess up how much are they secretly paying you? 😁
#FirstNameInSong 8/30 My daughter in law (country girl) said that I just had to post this one Lady May - Tyler Childers (2017) m.youtube.com/watch?v=yxfo... I texted this link👇🏼 to her, she came back with “see that’s great! I love it” 😂 Country song mashup ~ m.youtube.com/watch?v=FY8S...
You are very welcome. Trust the process Stay fit✌🏼
Nothing says “we love you, you are very special people” like a blanket pardon effectively condoning their actions. What would his response be if it were BLM or Antifa activists doing exactly the same thing right now?
Greenhouse is an all time favourite although I am sure he has many many more such a unique style. Such a full sound. Like there’s 2 or 3 guitars playing all together 💙
Great movie too! Just leaving this version here as well, gotta love Bunny Wailer ✌🏼 m.youtube.com/watch?v=IuFJ...
Funny how some singers have “just got it”. They just hit a note deep within your soul. Nina Simone is like that for me 👏 Good post mate. I love this comp for that, hearing song recommendations that someone else discovered first 👍🏼
#FirstNameInSong 8/29 I’m posting another all time favourite + bonus track enjoy the live 12 string guitar genius of his style Corrina Corrina ~ Leo Kottke (1997) m.youtube.com/watch?v=VQj4... Corrina Corrina (Live) m.youtube.com/watch?v=VCg2... Pamela Brown (Live) m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxzh...
Honestly I found the arrangement a little “unstructured” if that’s the right word, but listening deeper, it was just perfect to showcase the genius that is her vocal ability. Loved it 🥰
Yeah, he does, I did, I will ✌🏼🎶
Great post there Tuneraider. It belongs on ReggaeSky too. I have discovered some great vibez there. Have a great day
#ReggaeSky
I’m picking up steam, on a roll. Must be my second wind 😂 I have a beauty that’s a bit controversial, I’ll post on the 31st
I went all out on that costume 🤣 Couldn’t believe no one knew him
Beautiful version, just delightful 🙏🏻
Good Pick 👍🏼 Hasn’t been posted to my knowledge and I try to be on the lookout for double ups.
Your namesake! That’s double points 😂
She’s good 👍🏼
I went to a 80’s music themed Zumba dance party dressed as Adam Ant (costume was perfect) No one under 55yo had a clue who I was. When I told them, they had no idea who he was. I thought I’d win the night, but I felt like a total dick.
#FirstNameInSong 8/28 Only 3 days to go! I’m gonna make it through to the end 😁 Matilda ~ Harry Styles (2022) m.youtube.com/watch?v=lVnz...
Yes yes 😂
Mr Potato head there thinks he’s funny. The trouble is that the young wannabe tuff guys really think he’s serious. He thinks he’s “owning the Libs” but he is really just struggling for relevance. Talented, intelligent beautiful women scare him.
Skite! I wore out “Journey to the centre of the earth” back in the day 😁

The love of money. Dread shoulda known better
Thank you for your service. Man I miss those times when we were united. Somewhere along the way it all got corrupted. In the beginning it was Dreads, Rudeboys, Punks all dancing together
That’s what I’m talking about 👏
Who doesn’t love a bit of reggae 👍🏼
m.youtube.com/watch?v=uQeo...
Great track! 👍🏼
So is Sheena, apparently 😁
Love this video clip!
Everyone of them has been used in this comp too. 😂 I had a good laugh 👍🏼
You win! that’s a sixfer! 😂
Too true 👍🏼 I said that I knew one more S&G song (with name in title) Elizabeth said she knew two, and promised not to post hers so I could get my one more in. Only 4 more days!
I was introduced to this song by Ry Cooder’s version. It’s been an ear worm before (in a good way) and will be again today I’m sure.
Absolute gold! 😂 Thanks
#FirstNameInSong 8/27 my last Simon & Garfunkel song @bwodotbc.bsky.social I’m gonna last the month he he he For Emily whenever I may find her ~ Simon & Garfunkel (1966) m.youtube.com/watch?v=dcz3...
Delightful little song 👍🏼
When I was a little fella I just loved this song. Your post made me start my day with a smile 👏
#FirstNameInSong 8/26 "This town is fake but You're the real thing Breath of fresh air through smoke rings Take the glory, give everything Promise to be dazzling" Clara Bow ~ Taylor Swift (2024) m.youtube.com/watch?v=fcVU...
A rose by any other name…. 😁
Yeeha! Cool clip. Those trills the bass player does 👍🏼
I just can’t hear this without being reminded of Clint Eastwood’s movie 😕 Forever inextricably intertwined
Great post! Was it called ska back then? 🤔
#FirstNameInSong 8/25 Hey Carrie Anne ~ The Hollies (1967) m.youtube.com/watch?v=sgA4...
Late 60s early 70s American record labels started charging Australian radio stations pay per play. Incensed, they paid Aussie artists to cover the same songs and played them instead. It turbo boosted an already vibrant Australian music industry. (Every day’s a schoolday) 😂
Are we not men?
“I should be so yuppie” 😂 must have been a contractual thing. Loco-motion would have been a great intro to UK! Speaking of yuppies - Great Aussie band from the 80’s m.youtube.com/watch?v=VFOf...
Or - “I should be so yucky” 😁 they certainly set her on the road to super stardom though 👏
#originalandcover #MusicChallenge Loco-motion Original ~ Little Eva (1962) m.youtube.com/watch?v=eKpV... Cover ~ Kylie Minogue (1988) m.youtube.com/watch?v=UpvR... Bonus - Grand Funk Railroad (1974) A perfect fit for them m.youtube.com/watch?v=sSQO...
Now you’ll have my grey matter working overtime today 🤔 I think it’s good not to just google “first name in song” it sort of not really a challenge then. Although it really has highlighted just how limited my musical exposure has been. I honestly thought I was pretty worldly until this competition
Shhhh someone might post first, then I’ll never see the month out. I have one more in my list, I’m almost completely spent
Yay! Tay! 👏
Good post 🙏🏻
I’ve heard of these Wikipedia and Google funny names, must have a look one day. I’m old enough to remember seeing Kylie’s first single “Locomotion” and thinking “that’s a Grand Funk Railroad song! it’s good too, she’ll go far in music this girl” fair dinkum (that means true story in Aussie) 😁
Of course! (the penny drops) Sergeant Pepper is a name. Another good one 👍🏼
Nice vibez. 👍🏼
Mmm I can’t imagine why 😂
Hmmmm OK 🤔 an acquired taste perhaps 😁
Crappy song imho, but I’m giving it a like just cos he was Kylie’s brother in Neighbours 😂
I didn’t see your Cher post yesterday. Barbra Streisand is upbeat fun track. Both winners 👍🏼
You’ve done it again! Early Beatles yay!
