Songs Worth Sharing

[Essex Boy]

I wonder if this is the only song ever written about déjà vous. Most singers don't bother to include the verse with these old songs.

When you're awake, the things you think​

Come from the dreams you dream.​

Thought has wings​

And lots of things​

Are seldom what they seem.​

​

Sometimes you think you've lived before​

All that you live today.​

Things you do​

Come back to you​

As though they knew the way.​

Oh, the tricks your mind can play!​

Music by Richard Rodgers (alcoholic), words by Lorenz Hart (gay).

Remember this song from 1984?

I had breakfast today at Rockdale Pancake House in Rockdake, Illinois. It was exceptionally good...and this song was playing when I was seated.

I have been listening to Beach Boys tribute music following the passing of Brian Wilson. When I heard this song I thought I could hear the Ronettes/Wall of Sound influence all over it. Turns out I was right, The Beach Boys covered the original Ronettes song.

He underestimates you?

Dance your way out with some sass and bop the door shut for the sucker.

Tom Waits, "The Part You Throw Away"

Even though I was raised on rock and metal coming from the years 1950 to 2009, a lot of Tom Waits' work hits me deeper than most rock and metal songs can.

Here is something rare: A song (or any media) in praise of a step parent.

Singer/song writer Michael Martin Murphey didn't release his song "Wildfire" for years fearing people wouldn't like it because it wasn't "70's" enough.

When "Wildfire" was finally released in 1975, it became a mega hit and Mr. Murphey created a timeless song.

Help guys!

I'm stuck in the '70's and I can't get out!

[Verse 1]
I'm dancing on the White House lawn
Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn
Hanging 'round the gardens of Babylon
Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up (Come on, Pluto!)
She gets more fan mail than the Pope (Own up, own up)
She takes the Mickey out of all my phobias
Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia

[Chorus]
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze

[Verse 2]
I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa
Had an eiffel of the tower in France
I'm hanging 'round the gardens of Madison
The seat of learning and the flush of success
Relieves a constipated mind
I'm like a gourmet in a skid row diner
A fitting menu for a dilettante

[Chorus]
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne (Baby)
Suspended in deep freeze
[Post-Chorus]
Love is the fire of flaming brandy
Upon a crêpe suzette
Let's get this romance cooking, honey
But let us not forget

[Chorus]
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne (Baby)
Suspended in deep freeze

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne (Baby)
Suspended in deep freeze

[Post-Chorus]
Love is the fire of flaming brandy
Upon a crêpe suzette
Let's get this romance cooking, honey
But let us not forget

[Chorus]
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne (Baby)
Suspended in deep freeze
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne (Baby)
Suspended in deep freeze
(C'mon, serve it up boys)

[Outro]
Mine-mine-mine-minestrone
Mine-mine-mine-minestrone
Mine-mine-mine-minestrone
Mine-mine-mine-minestrone
Mine-mine-mine-minestrone
Mine-mine-mine-minestrone
Mine-mine-mine-minestrone
Mine-mine-mine-minestrone
Mine-mine-mine-minestrone
Mine-mine-mine-mine
Mine-mine-mine-mine
Mine-mine-mine-mine
Mine-mine
