Day 21: A song you discovered by pure chance

Thank you apple music. Not sure what I played for this to come up, but it introduced me to one of my favorite rappers, a whole genre of youtube rap I had never heard of, as well as to atlus’s voice. Checks a lot of boxes here. Not sure if it was the first crypt song I heard there but it was the one that made me go oh wow.

Day 21: A song you discovered by pure chance

I discovered my still favorite girl group by chance on a channel that I doubt exists anymore called IMF (international music feed). They mostly played non-English language songs but threw in some stuff from the UK, Ireland, and Down Under. Is it weird that I kind of want to go to Dublin in May to see their reunion tour?? Don't judge me!

I never heard this song until an Apple commercial aired with a little kid riding a bike and this playing in the background. The commercial was planned for the Superbowl but never made it b/c people started listening to the song and apple's implication that a 9 yr old boy was listening to this didn't go over well.
I've never listened to anything else by him but I found this very catchy.

Stumbled across these guys by accident years ago and instantly became a fan.

That video is a riot.

This was probably 20+ years before she left her voice to Metallica's "The Memory Remains" but you can tell it's her. That rasp is unmistakeable.

Day 15: A song that is sung by two people

Timely. I run the gamut all the way from solemn and serious to silly to this in my Christmas music taste.

Day 21: A song you discovered by pure chance

Uncle Ted isn't too well known here in the UK. I remember I chanced upon this song (studio version) on Planet Rock digital radio many years ago. Loved it so had to track down a decent live version... didn't take long obvs!

Great White Buffalo, Ted Nugent, from Double Live Gonzo, 1978

Day 16: A song that makes you want to go on an adventure

Song just happened to be big during a pretty good summer. Such is the power of association.

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

I blame the Dr Who clip for this one being in my head today and wanting to travel to Spice World

Hell to the yeah! I shoulda thought of this one first!

Day 17: A song you’d choose for karaoke

I can’t sing but I love Karoake. And everyone always sings along to this absolute banger.

Day 17, a song I'd choose for karaoke

Karaoke (and singing in general, except at a football match) is not really for me, but I could think of worse songs than this.

I agree

Day 18: A song that tells a story

Nobody does it better.

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

Aw man, I didn’t plan ahead and already used this song. Nuts.

Day 20: A song by an artist no longer alive

Can’t be all fun and games I guess.

Day 21: A song you discovered by pure chance

Dojo ain’t in my normal listening radius. But somehow ended up on the deep end of a YouTube music dive during covid and I was in. Not super into her latest though.

Day 21: A song you discovered by pure chance
walked past an outside bar playing this tune and had to dance right on the street

Everything about this video is ridiculous and I love it for that. Andrew is my very favorite rock star.

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

I love a good cover. When another artist can take a known song and make it entirely their own is an art form I'm and of itself. This popped up on a Pandora channel years ago. I was instantly captivated.

Obadiah Parker-Hey Ya

This is great! I can’t stand covers that are just remakes.

 

[MindYaBitness]

This is great! I can’t stand covers that are just remakes.

Right?!?! You've got to make it your own. In terms of key, style, and tone, this song is entirely new

 

[Wonderer67]

Nobody does it better.

My dad LOVED Marty Robbin’s. Him and Hank were his go to country artists and were on regular rotation in our home.

Still know all the words to Big Iron, another great story song.

Day 20: A song by an artist no longer alive

Just a bit of fun from Freddie

Day 21: A song you discovered by pure chance

I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger.

Great lyric!

 

[Pad_Foot]

There I was innocently watching a movie
I kind of liked it so I watched the credits. THEN ... THIS!!!

My dad LOVED Marty Robbin’s. Him and Hank were his go to country artists and were on regular rotation in our home.

Still know all the words to Big Iron, another great story song.

My parents too are why I love Marty. I think every song on this album is great but Big Iron was very nearly the pick here.
