Let the music speak

[rudiroo]

Three songs which sum up the way you feel right here, right now?
Post the lyrics or the video - either will do nicely.
Thanks folks

The Eve of Destruction video is the mutt's nuts!
Thank you so much for posting this one. (and did you know that Barry McGuire is still with us? Sadly, the lyricist P F Sloan z'l has left the building)

...sweetheart, this is a fun venture-but my moods are so labile recently, I couldn't post anything of visual or lyrical coherency...

Elvis Costello - yay!
I'd forgotten about him. . memory lane alert

Uh huh. Let moods run their course.
Trying to make them change. . doesn't work.

(I don't even call myself 'sweetheart', so I thank you.)

Epic choice - especially Chumbawumba. This is so cool - you guys are taking me down memory lane and it's good to see songs that say "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!"
Anyone remember which 1990's film featured those schmaltzy but effective lines?

Thanks for joining in, DiO'Bolic

Independence Day?

Independence Day?

Oh yeah - a man of taste!
I loved that film (opted out of the sequel though. Lame but true)

 

[GNTLGNT]

.....anymore, this seems fitting....

Muscles ache and feeling a bit old today.

Haven't seen the sequel. Waiting until it comes to Netflix.

Superman's Song by Crash Test Dummies (A Winnipeg Band)

[F]Tar[C]zan [F]wasn't a [C]ladies man
[F]He'd just [C]come along and [F]swoop 'em up un[C]der his [Am]arm like [G]that
[Am]Quick as a [G]cat in the [Dm]jungle [G]
But [F]Clark [C]Kent, now [F]there was a [C]real gent
[F]He would [C]not be caught [F]sittin' aro[C]und in no [Am]jungle[G]scape
[Am]Dumb as an [G]ape doing [Dm]nothing [G]
{c:Chorus}
[F]Superman never [G]made any money [C]saving the world from [F]Solomon Grundy
And [C]sometimes I [F]despair the [C]world will never [F]see another [G]man like him
[F]Hey [C]Bob, [F]Supe had a [C]straight job
[F]Even [F]though he could have [F]smashed through any [C]bank in the [Am]United [G]States
[Am]He had the [G]strength but he [Dm]would not [G]
[F]Folks [C]said his [F]family were [C]all dead
[F]Their planet [C]crumbled but [F]Superman he [C]forced himself to [Am]carry [G]on
[Am]Forget Kry[G]pton and keep [Dm]going [G]
{c:Chorus}
[Am]Tar[G]zan was [Am]king of the [G]jungle and [F]lord over all the [C]apes [G]
[Am]But [G]he could [Am]hardly [G]string together [F]four wo[C]rds: " [F]I
Tar[C]zan, you [G]Jane"
[F]Some[C]times when [F]Supe was [C]stopping crimes
[F]I'll [C]bet that he was [F]tempted to just [C]quit and turn his [Am]back on [G]man
[Am]Join Tar[G]zan in the [Dm]forest [G]
[F]But [C]he [F]stayed in the [C]city and [F]kept [C]changing clothes in [F]dirty
old [C]phonebooths
Til his [Am]work was [G]through and [Am]nothing to [G]do but go [Dm]on home [G]
