Music Monday
Feb. 3rd, 2025 05:42 amI will get my planned January round up post up soon, but a couple of those snowflake challenge posts made me super nostalgic, such that I have resurrected my tumblr blog! Come say hi there if you would like.
I also rewatched Kingsman in the throes of said nostalgia, in honor of which:

Music Monday
Mar. 25th, 2024 08:32 amI've had a busy week and this song running through my head for most of it, so I thought I'd share.

Music Monday
Feb. 12th, 2024 09:23 amI decided to try doing a music Monday, which I'm interpreting as making a post about music on a Monday.
Lately I've been thinking about live acoustic recordings of songs that, quite frankly, blow the studio versions out of the water. Such as:
Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen
Anyone else have live or alternate versions of songs that they like better than the originals?
ETA: not sure why embedding isn't quite working for me, I feel like it used to. Any ideas? Fixed!

So I was in a department store the other day, and there was a song playing. I didn't recognize it but i liked it, so as you do I tried to pick out some lyrics so I could find it again. I didn't manage it until later that day, and judging from the lyrics and my general memory, I'm pretty sure it was "Bad Moon" by Hollywood Undead.
BUT the song I heard was definitely sung by a woman, slower tempo, and more... pop-y, I guess, than the Hollywood Undead version even though, again, judging by the lyrics I thought it was the song. So then I figured it was a cover, but no amount of searching has turned up such a cover. I've found five thousand versions of "Bad Moon Rising" by CCR, but this "Bad Moon" song? Nope. And I haven't been able to find anything else with similar lyrics, either.
Anybody heard of a song like this? Because right now my theories are basically:
a) The store was playing an obscure cover for some reason, like from someone local, or
b) Mandela Effect type shit happened to me a few days ago.

megan_moonlight)This is tough. To make it a little less tough I decided to only allow myself one song per singer, and not to do any songs from musicals at all. I'm still missing some songs I love- but hey, top tens are always hard.
1. Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner- Warren Zevon
2. Romeo and Juliet- Dire Straits
3. Southern Cross- Crosby, Stills and Nash
4. Cold Missouri Waters- James Keelaghan (though I think I like the Cry Cry Cry cover the best)
5. The Lower Road- Thea Gilmore
6. Come Back Home- Chris Pureka
7. Hallelujah- Leonard Cohen (there are so many good covers of this song but I actually lover his version, I also really like Allison Crowe's version, and Rufus Wainwright's)
8. The House of the Rising Sun- The Animals (I love The Gaslight Anthem's version too)
9. Florida- Patty Griffin
10. American Pie- Don McLean
I still have plenty of room for more questions on this meme. Send me some more here if you like!
