Blimey! Might be in B&W maybe a bit of Engelbert Humperdinck, just for his name

You simply can't beat a name like Engelbert Humperdinck!

I think they bounced back, heh. I shudder to think how much money they made of one US Volkswagen commercial.

Well,,, there's another sad aspect to it. The drummer died a few years ago, completely destitute. I think he even lived in a homeless shelter in the end. He didn't write any songs and he was paid a one-off amount of money in the 80s to not receive any further royalties.

Great picks! Saw the Chemical Brothers at a festival years ago. Never thought EDM could work so well live. And Pop Musik is just that - the epitome of pop music.

I love this song I can't believe I hadn't thought to add this to my energy playlist, it's so good

Day 17: A song from your pre-teen years

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument were words me and my bestie lived by back then. Bickering 12 year old girls - is there anything worse? Lots of tearful apologies over evening phone calls back in those days...

Savage Garden - Affirmation

I was more child than pre-teen when this song came out but it was still on the radio and Much Music (Canadian MTV) in my pre-teen years.

Culture Club - Karma Chameleon

this is one of those songs that i knew from very early on... it must have been played a lot in the house when i was growing up, I heard it many years later and realised i knew it SO well. Funny how songs seep in, like osmosis, without you ever recalling hearing them

I'm sitting this one out.. nothing good came from the year i was born

You've got to love a bit of Engelbert, who wants to dance?

It's quite a bit of personal info, but anyhow...

While the whole band isn't queer, the lead singer is gay. And the song was co-written by him, Rob Halford, so I'm claiming it for my own personal challenge of only posting songs by queer / trans artists this month.

I could have gone with more conventional choices here like Queen, or Elton John, but I haven't posted anything metal in so long lol

Judas Priest - Cheater

I don't like this prompt, just because it has my spidey-senses tingling. Like it might as well be asking for a song with my mother's maiden name in the title, or a song with the last 4 digits of my social security. But here's a song from within X number of years of when I was born.
"The Logical Song" - Supertramp

Breakfast in America is such a good album. Love it.

And his web is the city at night..."

A friend of mine just met Rob in person! He's been a fan since we were kids and finally had the chance. It was such a lovely moment, and lovely photo!

I can't imagine what metal would be like without Rob. He brought leather and studs into the metal world from the gay scene in Soho, and single-handedly created an entire fashion scene. The man's a living legend. Saw them live maybe 15 years ago or so, incredible to see him still riding onto the stage on his Harley
