Day 31: A song not in English

Why yes, I do have an NPR mug, why do you ask?

I grew up in Portland, so I get to see these guys a lot over the years. I also loved it when Storm Large took over for China when she was pregnant. The great thing for this topic is you could pick songs in over twenty different languages.

Day 1: A song from one of the first albums you owned

Angie- Rolling Stones.
I remember buying this with one of my very first paychecks! I've got it on a 45rpm and YES I still have it!

The Runaways - Cherry Bomb

From a compilation album called New Wave released in 1978. The whole album blew my mind. Patti Smith singing Piss Factory just opened up my world but Cherry Bomb made me think of girls in a completely different way. And I still have that album.

Day 1: A song from one of the first albums you owned

The first two albums I owned were Queen's Live Killers and ELO's Out of the Blue, both birthday presents from my Grandparents, who hated the music but loved me more.

I was more in a Queen mood.

I was never a big Stones fan, but that song is utterly beautiful.

Break on Through (To the Other Side)​

…and we need to know… did you? Was the other side even better? Did it hurt your shoulder breaking through?

I LOVE this song

She unexpectedly appeared at a book fair last year with her co-author and you could feel the air go still when people realized it was her.

Day 1: A song from one of the first albums you owned

I am so friggin' old that I do not remember the first album I bought. I went to University in 1977 with a dozen or so Albums. Two were comedy (I'd paly something from Class Clown by George Carlin, but there would be angry posts and emojis I don't understand). There was Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan...and Jim Croce.

I picked my favourite Jim Croce song. Why? Cuz. Its a simple Blues shuffle that is easy for a ham-fisted chord jockey like me to play in order to seduce young first year students. Well that and "...the roller derby program said that she was built like a 'fridgerator with a head". Sounds like my kinda girl:

ALABAMA - Tennessee River off the My Home's in Alabama album

When we moved to Southern California, my brother (who was already graduated and staying in Georgia) tried to keep my Alabama albums, I was ready to fight!

Day 1: A song from one of the first albums you owned

As a child I was absolutely enthralled by songwriters who were great storytellers. This album did not disappoint...

Bruce Springsteen - Lost in the Flood
(from the album 'Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.')

 

[PassionatePanther]

Did you also hate Debbie Gibson or did you not get involved in Tiger Beat wars?

I liked both! I was 9 yrs old so I wanted to be both of them. (you’re not the first to ask if I was team tiff or team deb )

I love it but wtf was that??

 

[onanismaddict]

Day 1: A song from one of the first albums you owned
It was my first record! OBSESSED.

Most of my cousins are girls, and I clearly remember us blasting Tiffany (and Cyndi Lauper) on cassettes growing up...
But I'm going to blame the girls... it was for 'them', not for me! Okay, fine... I really enjoyed it, too.

 

[onanismaddict]

I got Heartbeat City at the same time I got Prince Charming. It was, well not a close call but a call! Cars rule!

Oh hell yeah, I luv 'Heartbeat City'... fantastic album! I still listen to that one quite a bit...

Were you team Edward or team whatever the other one was ? Jacob maybe?
