What are you listening to? Part III

[myscrnnm]

The iconic Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), which has spawned many covers, and was sampled for Madonna's 2005 single.

Turn up da bass!

 

[Apple fan from Korea]

Another classic from the 90s

 

[myscrnnm]

The Huey Lewis & The News song about wanting a new drug. Ray Parker Jr. was later sued for plagiarizing the song for Ghostbusters.

Funny you mention this! Ray actually did a really cool video with Adam Reader, the Professor of Rock, about this very song.

I've found his channel very enlightening when it comes to the stories behind the music, and not just some rockumentary like we saw before, where we barely have pre-recorded clips from the artists. Adam is actually there when they are playing what we hear.

BL.

Heard this song all the time on the radio as a kid and only just found out this week it was Paul McCartney.💀

I love watching Professor of Rock's YT channel. Dude is awesome and dig listening and watching the story's behind the music.

Dude is seriously good! Been watching and listening to him for sometime now.

Such a great album as far as conceptual and the tightness of the musicians

RIP Terry Hall... I hope you enjoyed yourself... ❤️❤️❤️

Bing Crosby next what else?

 

[myscrnnm]

This 2009 Pet Shop Boys single, which has a distinctly Christmas feel as it heavily samples Pyotr Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Act 1: No. 2.

Ooops mean this and Bing Crosby. Too much wine...

 

[bondr006]

Two oldie favorites

 

[MBAir2010]

One Great Rush album without the Rush!

 

[myscrnnm]

The very festive 1970 single Feliz Navidad by blind Puerto Rican musician José Feliciano.

 

[mrsmith1]

Yes. But I discovered something exciting as a result of the news coverage today. One of the greatest live records/soundtracks of all time–well, for me anyway!–Dance Craze, is getting an expanded reissue soon.

"I won't dance in a pub like this because..." (or not?)

The film is being reissued on Blu-ray by the BFI, at least here in the UK.

Listening to the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert 2023.

 

[bondr006]

Appropriate.....

 

[mrsmith1]

Great album, terrible sleeve.

 

[myscrnnm]

Been listening to this one since I was a child, but only just found out last year that the royalties go to UNICEF to help victims of sexual violence.

Ah, I didn't know that, either. Fascinating and quite wonderful.

Thak you for sharing this information.

ABBA were my mother's favourite group - she adored their songs.

Heh, adding to the ABBA wave, I saw this video recently...
