Day 28: A song about, or mentioning, sports

“Pushing these rocks around.
Trying to gain some ground.
Gotta keep the Canadians down.”

Day 28: A song about, or mentioning, sports

Long distance runner
Are you moving any closer to health?
One forever summer
No slow trombone, no notes to yourself
Loneliness written in the road
Loneliness written
It's the only
Is it the only thing you know?

Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner - September 67

Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner - September 67

I was expecting Iron Maiden. Then i was expecting a Maiden cover. Then i was confused, and then i fell in love

This led me down a rabbit hole of charlottesville music, short stories, and cult classics.

Thank you. This was wonderful.

Only knew of Coulton for the Portal soundtrack, hadn't heard anything else from him. This was subtly hilarious

The title, and the Iron Maiden (UP THE IRONS! Sorry...) song are both from a 60s British movie, based on a 50's short story by Alan Sillitoe. The Maiden song is about the story, the September 67 doesn't appear to be (though I like it).

The short story is outstanding, by the by. You should read it.

Jonathan Coulton is a genius. If only there was another thread where additional songs could be posted.

After @Whiskeyjack told me about the risk of incurring the wrath of the Queen of Hearts, I'm not going to be posting more than yesterdays prompt. It was a momentary illusion of grandeur.

Let's all wait patiently for our benevolent goddesses' return

I shall risk the blade with a guest host shot. This one got a "love" in her prompt thread at least. Forgive me for my impertinence, oh Princess...

This is the first 45 I bought as a kid. I had no record player accept for an old crank victrola in the attic. I played it on that,

Worse ways to go.

For violating Rule One, rather than a spanking I ended up in some human centipede monstrosity, so I know there are worse punishments than death....

I think this prompt popped up a few months ago, and I spoke then about the lao khene, a bamboo reed mouth organ which is the Lao national instrument.

Hearing it played brings back smells. It's incredible how strongly I can still smell this instrument; fresh, earthy, unique. There's really nothing like it. Sitting by a bonfire near the mekong river at night, listening to the masters of the village play. It was mesmerizing.

When my older brother brought this home I listened to it with him for hours

Day 29- A song that reminds you of a childhood memory

As a kid the music when we listened to in the car the radio was set on my dad's favorite station. Which was country (W E N O- 1430) still remember the station jingle. At home we had kiddie records for the record player. Ex- How Much Is That Doggie in the Window. One day my neighbors gave us a stack of 45 records. All rock and roll. The flood gates were open. This song was probably played more than any of the others. And when we learned the words, we would sing it outside while we were swinging on the swing set

Day 29: A song that reminds you of a childhood memory

My older brothers gave me my first LP for my 10th birthday - Some Girls by The Rolling Stones, just two months after it was released. I thought I was pretty damned cool going into the fifth grade knowing every song on that album.

This song seems fitting this week.

Miss You

A childhood memory.

A Roberts radio playing Hot Love by T-rex. I just knew it as the song that went la-laa-laa-lala-lah. Uhuh-uhuh-ahh-ahh!. Still love those sounds.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

I did PM the mistress of the thread early this morning, with no response yet. And I haven't seen her around in a bit. We might be on our own for a little while.

Day 29: A song that reminds you of a childhood memory
I heard this song on the radio a few days ago (yes, I still listen to the radio), and it immediately took me back to being about 10 years old, playing Axis & Allies with my older brother while we listened to his CD's (I didn't have any of my own at that age).
