#SongoftheDay A Bushel and a Peck (Sharon, Lois and Bram): Apparently this song is from Guys and Dolls. I've seen Guys and Dolls a number of times on stage, but I don't remember this song being in it. I do remember hearing Sharon, Lois and Bram sing it… dlvr.it/T6wLl0
#SongoftheDay Girls on Film (Duran Duran): Now that my voice has finally returned to me, I've been driving my partner nuts with the constant singing. Poor guy. He had to suffer through my performance of this song tonight while we washed the dishes. Thing… dlvr.it/T6sgP9
#SongoftheDay Baby Come Back (The Equals): I've missed you. Boy, have I missed you!
As I mentioned before taking my leave a few weeks ago, my partner and I have been extremely ill. We're still not over it, but we're better than we were.
Throughout… dlvr.it/T6dzxV
#SongoftheDay 5-4-3-2-1 (Manfred Mann): The PTSD is really taking its toll, these days. It keeps stealing me out of the present moment and taking me into the past.
I tried to watch a woodworking show I really like (woodworking shows are very cool.… dlvr.it/T5gwv5
#SongoftheDay You Light Up My Life (Whitney Houston): Yesterday I told you a story about someone being awful to me.
Today I'm going to tell you a story about somebody being wonderful.
The one story follows the other. They happened the same day.
When I… dlvr.it/T5d0pm
#SongoftheDay Asshole (Denis Leary): After days of not being able to leave the house due to migraines AND salmonella poisoning (what a combination...) I finally went out to buy a few groceries. I often use a walker to get around, and that was the case… dlvr.it/T5ZYF9
#SongoftheDay Looks Like Meringue (John Scofield): So, look... I have a very bad habit of giving myself food poisoning. This almost always involves eggs.
The first time I poisoned myself with eggs was after that big east coast blackout that happened… dlvr.it/T5X3gc
#SongoftheDay The Rosemary and Thyme Caprice (John Williams): I've been re-watching the British TV show Rosemary and Thyme again, even though I re-watched every episode a month ago. There are only three seasons, but I like repetition.
I always say the… dlvr.it/T5V2Mg
#SongoftheDay Knock Three Times (Tony Orlando and Dawn): Further proof that I was wrong in thinking music videos were invented in the 80s. This one was made in 1970. It just so happens that I wasn't born yet in 1970, so I can't help wondering where… dlvr.it/T5SKBy
#SongoftheDay Self Control (Laura Branigan): A couple months ago I had a story in mind to tell you about this song, or a story that was somehow related to this song... but I didn't tell you the story at the time, and now I forget what the story was… dlvr.it/T5QJhH
#SongoftheDay Daddy Cool (Boney M): YouTube now seems to be working overtime to prove to me that music videos existed in the 70s.
Okay, I admit it: I was wrong when I said music videos were invented in the 80s. Clearly they existed in the disco era.… dlvr.it/T5Mws0
#SongoftheDay In the Year 2525 (Zager and Evans): Not too long ago, I was writing about PTSD and how it sucks me out of the present moment and into the past.
Well, I also struggle with anxiety, which sucks me out of the present moment and into the… dlvr.it/T5KV6n
#SongoftheDay Julie Christie (Lorraine Bowen): Listening to Ice Cream yesterday and mentioning the words 'better than chocolate' made me think, of course, of the 1999 Canadian lesbian rom-com Better Than Chocolate. I saw that film pretty soon after it… dlvr.it/T5Gj8w
#SongoftheDay Ice Cream (Sarah McLachlan): For Easter, my partner gave me a chocolate bunny. But you know what else he gave me that's even better than chocolate?
No, not that.
Well, yes, that too, but that's not what I'm talking about.
He bought… dlvr.it/T5DK4G
#SongoftheDay Don't Rain On My Parade (Shirley Bassey): Last week I was telling my newsletter subscribers about a mix tape my best friend made me in high school. This song was on it. It was Barbra for sure, but when I searched for it on YouTube, none of… dlvr.it/T5BKQG
#SongoftheDay You Only Live Twice Main Theme (City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra): This theme was playing on the radio while my partner and I were eating dinner. I hadn't heard the radio host introduce the piece, and I said to my partner, 'This is so… dlvr.it/T58YcZ
#SongoftheDay If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake (Ethel Merman, Ray Bolger): Not sure why this story just popped into my head, but a guy I once worked with told me about a temp they'd had at a different company he'd worked for. This was an… dlvr.it/T56N4y
#SongoftheDay Bad Girls (Donna Summer): Every time I come across a music video made in the 70s it blows my mind. Until I stumbled upon that Bee Gees one I played recently, I truly believed music videos were invented in the 80s. So I'm wrong again.
This… dlvr.it/T53qWT
#SongoftheDay Rapper's Delight (The Sugarhill Gang): When we listened to Chic's 'Good Times' yesterday, perhaps you started thinking about this track. Or maybe you're listening to Rapper's Delight today and thinking there's something familiar about the… dlvr.it/T51FCQ
