These are just great songs to sing in the shower or on the road. Listed in the order that they were recorded. That's all right Heartbreak hotel Blue suede shoes Don't be cruel Hound dog When my blue moon turns to gold again Too much Ready Teddy Rip it up All shook up Teddy bear Jailhouse rock One night Baby let's play house It's now or never Are you lonesome tonight Reconsider baby Little Sister Can't help falling in love Return to sender You're the devil in disguise Big boss man In the ghetto Suspicious minds Burning love Promised land Trouble Blues of any kind but preferably those sung by the old fellers (I'm working on this one). |
Gym songs I should grow up, but being a senior-citizen doesn't make me square (although just using the word "square" makes me square). The following is an eclectic mix of songs that I play on my mp3 player when I'm at the gym. By the way, I do not believe in the "No pain, no gain" philosophy when I'm at the gym. My motto is "Use it or lose it." ACDC - Back In Black ACDC - Highway To Hell ACDC - You Shook Me All Night Long  Back in Black was the first tape to slide in the deck of my classic, long nosed, gleaming black (with thin red and silver stripes), Rally Sport Camaro. How I loved that car (I had it when I met my wife over twenty years ago). My niece Stacey inside the CamaroAeroSmith - Sweet Emotion Animals - House of the rising sun Animals - Wild thing ... a hard choice to make between the versions by The Troggs and Steppenwolf Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Beatles - When I'm Sixty-Four Billy Idol - White Wedding Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself ... Back in the eighties I think CBC carried a Saturday morning show called Switchback which the wife and I used to watch in bed. That was where we first saw Billy. Black Sabbath - Paranoid Bo Diddley - Hand Jive Bo Diddley - Who Do You Love Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark BTO - Takin' Care of Business Buddy Holly - Peggy Sue CCR - Down on the Corner CCR - Travelin' Band Chet Atkins & Doc Watson - Freight Train Boogie Chuck Berry - Maybellene Chuck Berry - No Particular Place To Go Chuck Berry - Roll Over Beethoven Cream - Crossroads Def Lepard - Rock of Ages Del Shannon - Runaway Don Mclean - American Pie Doors - Roadhouse Blues Duane Eddy - 40 Miles Of Bad Road Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane Eagles - Lyin' eyes Eagles - Take It Easy Eddie Rabbitt - Driving My Life Away Elvis - All Shook Up Elvis - Heartbreak Hotel Eric Clapton - Lay Down Sally Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These Everly Brothers - Bye Bye Love Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill Fats Domino - My Blue Heaven ... Fats was a favourite at the diner. We used to bicycle to the place (only one of the boys had a car back then, and it was his Dad's). Gary Glitter - Rock and roll part 2 Gene Vincent - Be bop a lula George Thorogood - Bad To The Bone George Thorogood - Who Do You Love Gipsy Kings - Hotel California Grateful Dead - Sugar Magnolia Guess Who - American Woman Hermans Hermits - Can't You Hear My Heartbeat Hermans Hermits - I'm Henry the VIII Hermans Hermits - Mrs. Brown ... Since there only about twenty words to each of these Hermits songs they are great to sing along to. Hollies - Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress Hot Chocolate - You sexy thing Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of Fire Joan Jett - I Love Rock and Roll Judas Priest - You Got Another Thing Coming KC & the Sunshine Band - That's the way I like it Kingsmen - Louie Louie Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out of My Head ... There's something about Kylie's video that I can't get out of my head. Lynrd Skynrd - Sweet Home Alabama Otis Redding - Sitting on the Dock of the Bay Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall Pointer Sisters - Slow Hand Ray Charles - Hit the Road, Jack Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash Rolling Stones - Satisfaction Rolling stones - Sympathy for the Devil ... I'm more of a Stones fan than I am a Beatles fan. I saw the Stones the first time they appeared on a British television show called Ready, Steady Go. The show was broadcast live (no videos in those days). The Stones sung Satisfaction and forgot the words. Hahahaha. Roy Orbison - Pretty Woman Shirley & company - Shame ... Disco! I loved disco cos I loved dancing. Most of my disco albums are now at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean when they were used as frisbees by my kids. Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's delight Talking Heads - Swamp Talking Heads - This must be the place (Naive melody) ... From the Talking Heads movie Stop Making Sense The Troggs - With a girl like you T-Rex - Hot love Village People - YMCA Wilson Pickett - Mustang Sally ZZ Top - Legs ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man Dick Nolan Ya want Newfie, well here's some of the best... Aunt Martha's Sheep Come home to Newfoundland Badger Drive Come where we're at Feller from Fortune Granny's Drawers Harbour Le Cou Home again this year I'se the B'ye Isle of Newfoundland Ladies Dart League Fight Let me fish off Cape St. Mary's Lukeys Boat Newfie Girl Newfie Screech Not as stun as I looks Ol' Newfie Outhouse Piece of Baloney Pretty Girls of Newfoundland Rubber Boots Squid jiggin ground Take me down Son The Old Liquor book Tiny Red Light Toast to the Newfie Girls True Newfoundlander Unemployment song Swing Very popular during the war years and into the fifties. Seems to me there was always a swing tune on the radio in those days (television didn't enter the scene until 1953). Artie Shaw - Back bay shuffle Benny Goodman - Don't be that way Benny Goodman - Sing, sing, sing Bunny Berigan - All God's chillun got rhythm Charlie Barnet - Cherokee Charlie Barnet - Flying home Duke Ellington - Take the A train Erskine Hawkins - Tuxedo junction Fletcher Henderson - Mary had a little lamb Glenn Miller - A string of pearls Glenn Miller - American patrol Glenn Miller - In the mood Glenn Miller - Little brown jug Inkspots - If I didn't care Mills Brothers - Paper doll Tex Beneke - Chattanooga choo choo Tommy Dorsey - Boogie woogie Tommy Dorsey - Marie Tommy Dorsey - Opus one And a more modern swing band - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy |
