Song-melding

Cafe Society

Been playing the compilation album Tea and Symphony - the English Baroque Sound a lot this past week and the third track - Alice - starting at 6:00, has been merging in my mind with Do You Remember Walter by the Kinks, especially the chorus of Alice which starts around 7:15.

142

Just so you know, that links to the time stamp associated with “My World Turns Around You.” Here’s the link to the beginning of “Alice.”.

143

Kinks - Tin Soldier Man


Ravel - Bolero

I like to slip from the outro of R.E.M. Everybody Hurts into Simon and Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Hold on, hold on
…
Sail on Silver Girl …

The keys don’t really match, though, so it’s a compromise either way.

I hadn’t listened too much to smashmouth. But it sounded latin to me. It just dawned on me that I have heard it before, a lot.

In fact it’s the time the doors plagiarized themselves, so there’s two of them, and I hear some of Santana in it, from later on.

Soul Kitchen


When the Music’s Over

Oye Como Va

Had to pull the stake back outa this puppy after getting hit by a couple of meldy melds while deadheading hydrangea this morning.

This descending synth line melds into this descending brass breakdown.

Mick goes “up”, as doesDavid.
In my archeological search for this I came across a sorta similar thread. Not sure how I missed this one.

147

Another meldy meld between Shania Twain’s singing 0:12 to 0:19 and Steve Tyler’s 3:28 to 3:35.

Sure, pretty common bluesy rock/whatever stuff but when hearing that muffled Shania muzak bit back in the day, my mind’d play tricks on me and picture Steve taking over.
Shania’s song.

148

Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop” and the Rolling Stones’ “Midnight Rambler” share that dotted rhythm, some chord sequences, and the melodic arc. Funny that their lyrical themes are so very different.

149

The beginning - up until 0:13 - of Donovan’s Wear your Love Like Heaven melds perfectly into Blue Oyster Cult’s Don’t Fear the Reaper at 0:30.

150

WTF is wrong with everyone here???

How has it possibly taken 3 pages of posts before the most obvious one of all:

The theme to “Final Jeopardy” and “I’m a Little Teapot”.:smack:

:):):slight_smile:

I can’t hear the rhythm guitar here :slightly_smiling_face: without thinking of the rhythm guitar here. :slightly_frowning_face:
If they had been isoated on their own separate tracks, they’d dovetail quite nicely together.

Aaaawww that LP vocalist looks like a slightly younger and innocent Seth Puttnam. [whatever passes for a cuteness emoji here]

152

“Any Dream will Do” from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat starts with an almost identical musical phrase as “Ripple” from the Greatful Dead.

153

If you listen to the full Tchaikovsky Nutcracker, sooner or later you get to that passage that sounds like “This is the way we wash our clothes”

Back in the early 70s came a hit song “Precious and Few” by Climax, and I can’t hum it in my head without it turning into The Association’s “Cherish”
