30 day song challenge Part III

Ok - here's part III and my song choices for days 11 through 20. You'll have to read Part II for the song challenge themes for these.

 

11: Boogie with Stu (Led Zeppelin)

12: What'd I say (Ray Charles)

13: You raise me up (Josh Groban)

14: Don't give up on us (David Soul) - actually this is a total lie. Of the top ten worst songs of all time in terms of cackness - this scores a A* in my book. It is truely awful.

15: Mellow Yellow (Donovan)

16: Arrested for driving while blind (ZZ Top)

17: Con-bleeding-fused-dot-bleeding-com

18: Murder (Mok)

19: Take me to Chicago (Dave Hole), and

20: In the summertime (Derek Sherinian version)

 

The themes for days 21 through 30 are a song...

21: ...I listen to when I am happy

22: ...from my teenage years

23: ...(the last one I listened to)

24: ...to play at my funeral

25: ...that reminds me of winter

26: ...I wish I could play on an instrument

27: ...(the earliest) I can remember from my childhood

28: ...that's the most romantic

29: ...that defines me and my soulmate, and

30: ...that is most likely to reduce me to a quivering wreck.

 

Tap into Part IV for my choices. Meantime, here's a taster from day 21.



30 day song challenge (Part II)

I'm currently at day 10 of the 30-day song challenge I'm posting on Facebook. Not much of a challenge if truth be told - there are so many songs I could choose from. But it's fun finding a match to each day and giving a reason why.

 

You've seen my first four choices, so here are the next six:

• 'Holly' by Republica
• 'Eyesight to the blind' from Aerosmith
• 'Black Flute' from Leftfield
• 'From your favourite sky' by I am Kloot
• 'Nutbush City Limits' by Ike & Tina Turner (although the Pearl version's better), and
• '8-ball' by Underworld

And here's the challenge for days 11 through 20 - a song...

 

 

11. ...from my favourite band

12. ...from the year I was born

13. ...that's a guilty pleasure

14. ...that no-one would expect me to love

15. ...that describes me

16. ...to drive to

17. ...I hear often on the radio

18. ...I would like to hear often on the radio

19. ...from my favourite album

20. ...that reminds me of summer

 

In part III of this mini-series you'll find out what my choices for days 11 through 20 were, and what the challenge headings are for days 21 through 30.

30 day song challenge

Prompted by a Facebook page I've liked, I've just started something called 'The 30 day song challange'. You can choose any 30-day period you want but must then post a new song consecutively for each of the 30 days using the specified  nomenclature. Here's that for the first 10 days:

1. your favourite song
2. your least favourite song
3. a song that makes you happy
4. a song that makes you sad
5. a song that reminds you of someone
6. a song that reminds you of somewhere
7. a song that reminds you of a certain event
8. a song that you know all the words to
9. a song that you can dance to, and
10. a song that makes you fall asleep

The first four I've chosen are - Bullfrog Blues (from Rory Gallagher's 1974 album 'The story so far), anything by Justin Beiber (because he is a boil on the bottom of the music industry), Paulo Nutini's 'Pencil full of lead' and 'The death of JP Lenior' by John Mayall.

 

I'll let you know about the next 10 sometime around 21st January.
