The songs stuck in my head: January 2018

Magic Carpet Ride/Everybody's Stalking

Yo peoples.

I'm gonna bust out a couple o' songs here for two for one Sundee Fundee, which consists of last weeks song stuck in my head followed by this weeks:

Last week's: Steppenwolf's classic from 1968, here's "Magic Carpet Ride"

Next, this week's song takes us forward 32 years to the future, all the way to the year 2000!

Here's Badly Drawn Boy's "Everybody's Stalking"

I love these songs shuffling their way into my head. If anybody's happening to read this, let me know what you think of these two fantastic songs.

Hugs, Brady

Gotta Be This or That

Forever Plaid-a-looza continues here at thesongssstuckinmyhead.blogspot.com

Sunday morning, I had the second song in the show running through my brain.

I had a hard time finding the origin of this song. I almost wish there was a website for songs, just like imdb has for movies. Anyway, there have been multiple covers of this song over the years, but the original appears to have been done (written?) by Benny Goodman in 1945.

Here's what it sounds like, friends.

I hope you thought this post was neat. I'm caught up on all the ones I was behind on. I plan to start blogging regularly every Sundee, neato friend.

She Loves You

I'm getting caught up.... almost.

I'm completely immersed right now in this production of Forever Plaid. I'm having a great time doing it even if it's such a big time commitment.

If you've seen 'Plaid' there are many funny moments, and one in particular that I find quite hilarious and inspired the song stuck in my head for 1/7/2018 (in what has now become the 6TH year of my blogging)

In the show, The Plaids talk about how they started singing music for a "whole new generation" (referring to the 60s) which leads into a cheesy arrangement of The Beatles "She Loves You" which reeks of 1950's fluff. It's one of my favorite moments in the script and it's also very fun to perform.

Anyway, the dang song was stuck in my head. Here's the Beatles' version:

And here's what the Plaid's version sounds like:

(It Starts about 2 minutes in)

I love music and I love you.

Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sleep)

Here's the song from Dec 31st that was stuck in my head, it's from the Musical "White Christmas" which I saw my wife kill it as Betty in earlier this season.

Here's the song, Count Your Blessings (instead of Sheep)

Birken Street

I'm gonna attempt to do 3 blog posts in 5 free minutes that I have.

Wish me luck.

Here's TSSIMH from Dec. 24th, Chrismas Eve.

It's from Pete Breinholt and it's called Birken St.

It's a good song. Listen!

When I saw Utah native Pete Breinholt play live, he told us that there is actually a street named after this song in St. George. Neat huh?

Don't Turn Away

Every once in a while I'll have to make a blog post about a song that's stuck in my head and I'm totally unaware what the song is. This one took me some time, but I finally figured it out, and now that I know I hang my head in shame as I share this post with you.

So, some time ago I went through a brief love affair with Thomas Dolby, the English singer-songwriter who you'd likely know because of a bizarre hit he had in the 80's called "She Blinded Me With Science"

I ended up buying and downloading Dolby's 1984 album called "The Flat Earth" with some bonus feature tracks. One such track was performed by his alternate ego Dolby's Cube, and featured on.....wait for it..... the Howard The Duck film soundtrack.

So here, my friends, is the song stuck in my head
from December 17th (wow I'm getting behind) by Dolby's Cube (Thomas Dolby) called "Don't Turn Away" a tender little love ballad weaseled in the depths of my subconscious, and now here on this blog for the world to love:
