more, but I can’t think of them right now…

Pirates of the Mississippi, I think…

guesses here:

“Where Do Broken Hearts Go” - Whitney Houston

“She’s like the Wind”, IIRC, is a song from Dirty Dancing, by Eric Carmen.

OK, the broken-hearted one bugged me…

I found this on a lyrics site:

Now what’s become of the broken-hearted
Who had love that’s now departed?
I know I’ve got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I’ll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I’ll be looking everyday
I know I’m gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I’ll find a way somehow
I’ll be searching everywhere

“What’s Become of the Broken-Hearted” - Jimmy Ruffin

BunnyGirl: Mississippi/Crow, good choice. I wonder if Dylan wrote it for her. I don’t remember if he recorded it himself.

Great list so far.

I think nobody mentioned CRAZY TRAIN, by Ozzy Osborne.

All aboard?


One beer is less than two beers.

Almost forgot, George Thoroughgood’s, “One bourbon, one scotch, one beer.”

It’s my theme song.


One beer is less than two beers.

Yes, Ice Ice Baby is number one. Also, I wanna Be sedated by the Ramones. Don’t Fear the Reaper by BOC. Somebody to Love by Queen.

I thought “She’s Like the Wind” was by Patrick Swayze. (I could be mistaken. It wouldn’t be the 1st time.) And Paul Young did a remake of “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted” that was kind of popular.

I also forgot;;;I’m No Angel by Gregg Allman, and Honky Tonk Woman by the Stones.

Not I Like Beer (Tom T. Hall)?

“You Turned the Tables On Me”----Benny Goodman AHO (or anything else by the for that matter)

“Wenn Wir Marschieren” (A German Army marching tune that is constantly in my head)

“There Is a Flower That Bloometh”, “I Hear You Calling Me”, “Kathleen Mavourneen”, “Roses of Picardy”----all by John McCormack

Mozart, Beethoven, Hadyn, Bach----'nuff said

Gilbert and Sullivan, Giuseppe Verdi, Antonio Vivaldi, Arcangelo Corelli----ditto

Messiah----Georg Friedrich Handel

Any ragtime by Scott Joplin

The national anthems of Canada, Germany, France, Israel, Turkey, and the Soviet Union, with “L’Internationale” thrown in for good measure

Civil War music played on period instruments

Rogers and Hammerstein; Lerner and Lowe—anything by

And for light listening, Phil Harris, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Durante, and anything country and western so long as it was recorded prior to 1968. Nonsense songs from the 1940’s like “Bongo Bongo Bongo” and “Open the Door, Richard” are good, too.

Pickman: “Bongo,Bongo, Bongo?” Don’t you mean “Abba Dabba Honeymoon?”

Nope. The tune that I’m thinking of is all about the natives in the jungle and how happy they are that they don’t live in our so-called “civilization”. Part of the lyrics go:

“Bongo, bongo, bongo
I don’t wanna leave the Congo
No, no, no, no, no, no!
You have things like the atom bomb
So I think I’ll stay where I om;
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!”

And so on. It’s a hoot.

10 songs…I can’t name any top 10, so I’ll go with 5 current favorite CD titles:

  1. Concrete Blonde-Still in Hollywood
  2. Iggy pop best of. I only listen to the last half. Favorite song: The Passenger
  3. Jethro Tull Live at BBC
  4. Laika and the Cosmonauts.Surf.
  5. Rhino Box set of Progressive era. I won’t actually get it till Christmas. Large investment. It tells how you would have experienced if you had used dope. Now you just have to listen to music inspired by dope. Only 1 american track out of 54 in the set.

Oh, this is cool. Here are some of my faves:

  1. Rush - Red Barchetta;
  2. Twelfth Night - The Collector;
  3. Rush - Cygnus X1;
  4. Savatage - Believe;
  5. Rush - Hemispheres;
  6. Dream Theater - Learning to Live;
  7. Queensryche - Suite Sister Mary;
  8. Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight;
  9. Dire Straits - Telegraph Road;
    10.Guns ‘n’ Roses - November Rain.

And 20 million others, of course…
