MUSIC: Song Of The Day -

MUSIC: Songs Of The Day: Valentine's Day

It's that time of the year where I put up some of my favorite songs about love.

I posted this one on my girlfriend's Facebook page.


And these are just some songs I like to do with love:




In Control (You Think You're) [Explicit] - Lipstick Homicide
In Control (You Think You're) [Explicit]

MUSIC: Songs Of The Day: Christmas Music From Devo And Monty Python

MUSIC: Song Of The Day - To My Daughter For Her Special Day

Well, this is a few days late. But this is for my daughter on her special day! - OlderMusicGeek

MUSIC: For Valentine's Day

Just a couple of videos for Valentine's Day featuring two songs that I like about love. - OlderMusicGeek





Count the Weezer boys for catching the love life of a nerd so perfectly in 3 minutes!

MUSIC: Song Of The Day - Halloween Edition: "Boris The Spider" By The Who

This is from me, and NOT some reprinted material. - OlderMusicGeek

Well, it's that time of the year again. Which means it's time for Halloween music. This song is dedictated to The Blag Hag aka @jennifurret on Twitter aka Jennifer McCreight!



A link to other Halloween music

MUSIC: Some Necrophilia For Halloween

Nothing says Halloween is coming like some necrophilia from Alice Cooper.

MUSIC: Johnny Cash's Version Of "In My Life"

Just cus I heard it and liked it so much! - OlderMusicGeek

MUSIC: Songs Of The Day For Valentine's Day

Well, last year, I presented my love favorite love songs. So this year, I'll just present 3 songs about love I've been listening to lately. They'll probably show up on my Songs Of The Month for February anyway! - OlderMusicGeek

The Look Of Love - ABC


Flaming Desire - Bill Nelson


Happy - Rolling Stones

MUSIC: Songs Of The Day - Halloween Edition (Oct 31): "Time Warp" from Rocky Horror Picture Show And "Science Fiction Double Feature"

Yep, last one! Thank God I can some of you say!

And to end it all, I can't think of a song for fitting than "Time Warp" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show!



But since it's Halloween, I added "Science Fiction Double Feature" by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes The Rocky Horror Punk Rock Show, a punk rock tribute to the musical.



I was going to add The Groovy Ghoules version of "Time Warp", but I couldn't find it on YouTube and my videomaker was being a piece of crap! So I'll suggest you look it up!

MUSIC: Song Of The Day - Halloween Edition (Oct 30): "Sympathy For The Devil" By The Rolling Stones

Can't think of a better penultimate song for my Halloween cavalcade of tunes than The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil". Also included a really good strip down version of the song by Jane's Addiction!

This is as close to the original as I could find on YouTube...

MUSIC: Song Of The Day - Halloween Edition (Oct 29): The Themes From The Exorcist and Halloween

Just a couple of great horror movie themes - "Introduction" from Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells (used for the theme of The Exorcist) and the theme to the movie Halloween by John Carpenter.





And here's a great video with a guy putting lyrics to the Halloween theme. It's pretty funny!

MUSIC: Song Of The Day - Halloween Edition (Oct 28): "Superstition" By Stevie Wonder

Just adding this song - "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder - because it's pretty such a standard for any Halloween collection - and it's a great dance to boot. Besides, you got to love that opening riff!

MUSIC: Song Of The Day - Halloween Edition (Oct 27): "The Horror Of Party Beach", "The Thing From Uranus", and "The Queen From Outer Space"

These - "The Horror Of Party Beach", "The Thing From Uranus", and "The Queen From Outer Space" - are just the 3 songs by the punk band, Sloppy Seconds, that have a horror theme to them.

I don't know much about this band. They came out when I was living in Africa, and I just discovered them recently through Pandora Radio.

But I think they're a lot of fun and that they can be rather humorous, and I hope you will too.


This video is stupid, but it has the song...

MUSIC: Songs Of The Day - Halloween Edition (Oct 26): "Edgar Allan Poe" By Lou Reed And "The Raven" By The Alan Parsons Project

This is a song - "Edgar Allan Poe" - from a stage show about Edgar Allan Poe that Lou Reed, formerly of The Velvet Underground, did the music for. If you don't who Lou Reed is, his most famous song is "Take A Walk On The Wild Side".



I also added "The Raven" from The Alan Parsons Project's first album "Tales of Mystery And Imagination", which is a tribute to Edgar Allan Poe.



I add this, just cus I found when looking for a video for Lou Reed's "Edgar Allan Poe"! And it's really funny.



Kind of reminds me of a friend's thought about Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater having a wife he couldn't afford to keep and hiding her remains in a pumpkin shell.

MUSIC: Songs Of The Day - World Zombie Day: "Zombie Jamboree" By Rockapella And "Brains" By Voltaire

Here's just a couple of extra songs for World Zombie Day!

The first is "Zombie Jamboree". It's by Rockapella. I actually think Harry Belafonte does the best version, but I couldn't find his version on YouTube.



This is "Brains!" by Voltaire. It was used in a "Billy And Mandy" cartoon.

MUSIC: Songs Of The Day - Halloween Edition (Oct 25): "Sleepwalking" By The Raveonettes, "Sleepwalker" By The Kinks And "Sleepwalk" By Ultravox

These are 3 tunes about sleepwalking - "Sleepwalker" by The Kinks, "Sleepwalking" by The Raveonettes and "Sleepwalk" by Ultravox.

The Kinks are a band that started in the 60s. Their big hit is "You Really Got Me".

The Raveonettes is what I considered one of the better new alternative bands to have come out in the past 20 years.

Ultravox is a British synth pop band. You might have seen their videos on MTV in the 80s. Their big one was "Vienna".



Since the Ultravox video is a boring performance video, I presenting this one featuring good old Dr Who...
