Ain't She Sweet/Traffic Light/Whatever It Takes/Perfect

IT'S FOUR FOR ONE SUNDAY FUN DAY YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's get right to it, yo.

First of all, I'm on vacation.  I'm in Del Ray, California and it's just really neat here you guys!

We've crowded into a hotel room together and I didn't sleep very well.  Neither did wifey poo, who claims that I was snoring and so was our 10 year old son.  We were totally having a subconscious battle for who could snore the loudest.  

Anyway, I did wake up a lot during the night.  The first song playing in my brain was one we parodied (my family and my in-laws) at my Grandfather-in-law's 85th birthday party last night.  It's "Ain't She Sweet" which is performed by The Beatles, but written by Milton Anger and Jack Yellen in 1927.  Here's the version I'm familiar with:

Ok, next is the song that immediately followed in my head afterward.  The melody to this song sounds so similar to "Ain't She Sweet" that it stuck in my head as well.  It's the verse of the song and the way it resolves, it sounds really similar to "Ain't She Sweet" in my head.  Here's "Traffic Light" by The Ting Tings.




Next, when I woke up later to make pee pee, this great song that is new to me (thanks to a whole slew of new music that was introduced to me by a new friend) was playing.  I really like this song, here's "Whatever it Takes" by Ron Sexsmith. 





And lastly, the song to which I awoke this morning- which as you know is the formula we follow here at thesongsstuckinmyhead.blogspot.com, LLC.  I over shared today with other songs because this song is from "Children of Eden" which I already talked about two blog posts ago.  If I weren't lazy and on vacation I'd link you up to the post from two weeks ago, but you probably don't care anyway, no offense to me.  

Anyway, the song as I awoke is called "Perfect" and it's about Adam and Eve as they live day to day in the garden of Eden.  Have a listen:





Did you have as much fun as I did on FOUR FOR ONE SUNDAY FUN DAY?   It was sure neat.  We made some great memories today.

Have a neat day!  I'm going to church now!!!!


Secret Heart

TWO FOR ONE TUESDAY!

When your son wakes up at 1:00 A.M. vomiting, naturally this is the song that would come to your head:
"SECRET HEART" by Feist

I just found out that this song is a cover.  The original was written by Ron Sexsmith.  Here it is.  I'm curious which version you like better.  Here's the original:



I really do like this song.  I just thought it was strange that it was playing in my head while my son was barfing his brains out.  One day they will be teaching college courses to try to explain the madness that is my mind.  


For anyone who cares I have an extra copy (accidentally burned 2) of the latest compilation of songs I've been writing about.  I just listened to it in the car and it sounds pretty good. 



Whoever asks for it first, I'll give it to, you can email (cashbrady@gmail.com) or comment below, first come first serve.  I will send it to you, no matter where you are in the world. 

I'll post a comment below once I have a taker. 

My son is fine for anyone concerned.  You can thank him for inspiring today's post if you see him.  Let's hope he doesn't get food poisoning again any time soon.
