Day 14. A song you never get tired of.
Frank Wilson - Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)

Play it once. Play it all night long. I'll hit the dancefloor every time - it takes me to Mecca.

Um, yes….

Fuck yes.
Oh wow! Bruce Springsteen has done a version. It's actually really good. Amazing for a song that took decades to get an official release. Has he done a northern soul album? I'll check...
 
Day 14: A song you never get tired of

There are a lot of great songs that I never get tired of, but this is the song that first came to me when I read the prompt. The song really is a classic, and I always listen to it when it comes on the radio. The song is synonymous with the film (celebrating its 40th anniversary this year) and especially that iconic last image of the Judd Nelson character raising his fist in the air.

Day 12: A song you have a funny story to
Ooof, I’m getting caught up after an atrocious stretch of evenings at work.

It was funny then and it’s funny now. Back in my late 20s, I had a FWB who was a few years younger than me. He was tall and handsome and a bartender who wanted to be a rock star. The sex was great and we got along pretty well.

I think it was our 3rd “date” when he asked if it was ok if he brought his guitar over. Ummm, ok.

So he proceeds to play this song and I’m pretty confident this was my face the entire time

For the record, I hate Nickelback and this song is so bad, but we still got it on that night 🤣

Photograph - Nickelback



I have always been massively confused by how many women seem to like douchebags like that guy (or at least douchey behaviour).
So it somehow makes me feel much better to know that you were hating 'the experience', but just needed the cock that badly! 🤣 🤣
Unlike douche-adoration, and bad musical taste, a little bit of lust is nothing to be ashamed of whatsoever. 😜
For the record, I have had to sit with 'that look' on my face while people played Nickelback, as well... and I never even got fucked at the end. :)

Thank you for sharing your brilliant story! A-plus!

Day 15: A good duo

Car Radio - Twenty One Pilots
Starting as a trio, two members left and then the singer met the perfect drummer. A few years later they were signed (Fueled by Ramen, I love the label's name) and that first album was the second ever to achieve a gold certification on every track. Then their album "Blurryface" also managed that certification. They became the first duo/band ever to get gold certification on all tracks on two albums.

The band name was inspired by Arthur Miller's play, "All My Sons"

 
Day 15: A good duo

I will never forget hearing this song and band for the first time. My ex-wife mailed me the CD in Iraq. We’d moved from Baghdad to Diyala province and a lot of stuff didn’t catch up with us. I remember her letter saying she thought I’d really like this. She was right.

So I popped the CD into my discman (remember those???) and was like what the fuck is this? (In a good way). I was shocked to find out this was just two people making this wonderful fuckin racket.

The Ravonettes - Attack of the Ghost Riders

Day 13: A song you liked about a year ago


Catching, up so I’m gonna do a two in one. There’s this guy who I found on TikTok (as many of these stories start—I find a lot of great music there!), Oliver Richman. He’s a super talented musical theater guy. Last year he challenged himself to write a song a day for a year.

He wrote this song for Groundhog Day. It was inspired by this story about [Punxsutawney] Phil drinking a magic elixir that keeps him alive forever but his wife, Phyllis, doesn’t.

It all started with this TikTok that went viral. People started adding all sorts of parts to it, including a version with Elyse Meyers as Phyllis. People were calling for a full Groundhog Day musical to be made.


A year later, Oliver Richman blessed us with this full version featuring Joy Woods (who is fucking amazing, if you aren’t familiar). This is quite silly but also so good. Enjoy.

“Nothing's supposed to livе forever
Nothing's supposed to last that long”

This needs to be a full musical...
 
Day 15: A good duo

There are a lot of great duos, but I haven't seen these two on here yet. Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, both banjoists, record as The Lowest Pair, but in this one Kendl takes up the guitar instead. Her voice is perfect here in this live recording.

"In the During of a Moment ," The Lowest Pair.

Day 15: A good duo

I know what you are thinking, The Beatles were a foursome. Yes, they were, but 1) there's no better musical duo than Lennon/McCartney, and 2) this song is recorded entirely by John and Paul. It's a true duo performance. On the recording tapes you can even hear John call out to "Ringo" to drum faster and Paul respond with "OK, George."

The only thing I suppose you could say is that they don't fit the "good" label because get were far better than good.
