Counting Down The Hours

Today's song is brought to you by a little music group called Ted Leo and The Pharmacists.  Let's have a listen:



If you get some time, after you listen to this rocking song, check out the lyrics.  There is some real depth to what is going on here lyrically, with underlying religious and political statements.  I was surprised to hear this song playing in my head this morning, but I'm glad it did, forcing me to look closer and listen better.  I've had this song in my collection for some time but haven't listened as much as I should.  If my life didn't revolve around a wife and four kids, I'm sure I'd have much more to say about this song. 

I do know this though:  I read recently that Ted Leo teamed up with Aimee Mann and they'll be releasing an album soon, if they haven't already.  After reading the lyrics to this song, it will be an interesting collaboration between the two.  Aimee Mann's lyrics are my favorite of any singer-songwriter.  Their group is called The Both. 



That's all I have to say about that. 

Reunited

I don't have a lot of time.  Today's song is from 1978.  I'm confident you know the song, but I doubt many could tell me who the duo is that sings it.  I even stumped my brother today, whose head is a library of music.

I'll give credit where credit is due, "Reunited" was written by Dino Fekaris & Freddie Perren but made famous by Herb Fame and Francine Hurd Baker, otherwise knows as "Peaches and Herb."  

Here's the song, I'm confident you know this melody:
