Just Because 🎵
***
Just because I like this song.
This is Pearl Jam with a cover of Buddy Holly’s, “Everyday”.
I was in the audience on this day, October 18, 2000, Lubbock, TX.
Being the hometown of Buddy Holly, the crowd loved Eddie Vedder singing the song.
It was one of best concerts I’ve ever been to.

Who Put the Bomp -Song Lyric Sunday – Question Songs?
https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/2019/06/29/i-heard-the-news-today/
***
***
For today’s SLS, Jim, of A Unique Title For Me, has asked the questions: what, where, when, who, why, and how. We’re supposed to find a song to go along with this prompt. Thanks, Jim!
To join in this fun weekly music challenge, just click the above link. There you will find the details, and also get to listen to a lot of other songs that were chosen by others. 🙂
***
Now, that’s a lot of question words. There are a lot of songs with one or two of them in the titles or lyrics, so what’s hard about it? Well, there are just so many, it’s not easy to choose one.
So … I kept hearing the two songs I chose, in my head, and figured if I put them both on here I could finally stop the earworms! haha – I don’t think it worked, though. 🙂
***
I did find this cute little song that has all the words in there. It’s done for the Electric Company TV show for kids, and is by Good Charlotte. I couldn’t find much else about it.

This song is one that is featured in the 1998 movie, “A Night at the Roxbury”. It was a kind of spin-off of the Saturday Night Live sketch that was so funny, about two goofy guys trying to be cool at a dance club.
This video by the artist, though, is quite a bit different than the funny sketch!

“What is Love”, by Haddaway, appears on his album, “The Album”, and was released in 1993. It was written by Dee Dee Halligan and Junior Torello, and is on the Coconut label.
***
***
This song is just fun, and uses a lot of nonsense words to explain how his girl fell in love with him.

“Who Put the Bomp”, by Barry Mann, is a single that was released in 1961, It was written by Barry Mann and Gerry Goffin, and is on the ABC-Paramount label.

I’d like to thank the guy
Who wrote the song
That made my baby
Fall in love with me
Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I’d like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me (yeah!!)
When my baby heard
“Bomp bah bah bomp ”
“Bah bomp bah bomp bah bomp bomp”
Every word went right into her heart
And when she heard them singin’
“Rama lama lama lama”
“Rama ding dong”
She said we’d never have to part
So
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I’d like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me (yeah!!)
Each time that we’re alone
Boogity boogity boogity
Boogity boogity boogity shoo
Sets my baby’s heart all aglow
And everytime we dance to
Dip da dip da dip
Dip da dip da dip
She always says she loves me so
So
Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I’d like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me (yeah!!)
Listen – Song Lyric Sunday – Soul 
Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 11/11/18
***
For today’s SLS, Helen has given us the prompt word, ‘soul’. Thanks, Helen!
If you like music, then by all means, join in this weekly challenge. We get to hear all kinds of great music, old & new, and discuss our thoughts. Click the above link to get started.
***
There’s several ways to go with this one, I think. You can have ‘soul’ in the title of a song, ‘soul’ in the lyrics of the song, or the song can be classified as ‘soul’ music. There were a lot of good songs to choose from. The one I chose has ‘soul’ in the lyrics, and the band’s name.
***
A little bit of a funny story about not this album, but another one of theirs, “Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid”. Wiki
I heard their song, “Shine” on the radio, and I didn’t know who sang it, so I called the station to ask. They were very helpful, telling me that it was Collective Soul, and I could have a copy of the cassette tape, if I wanted to come get it. Well, wow! I said sure, and off I went.
Now, we lived in a little town 30 miles from where the radio station was located, but why not take a little trip, to collect my free, Collective Soul tape. So, I did. I still have it, too. There’s some really good songs on there.
I read later, that this was their debut album, and it was released as it was, as a demo record.
Later on, I did get the album that my featured song is from today. I still like all their music.
I couldn’t really find much about why they wrote this song, or it’s meaning. Some commenters were saying it’s about love lost, or misunderstandings, and things like that, which it could be.
However, my take on it is a reflection of how the world is today, even though the song was written in 1996. Has anything changed much over the years. Not much. People everywhere have been having conflict and misunderstandings for eons, yet still profess they want to live in a peaceful world. (except maybe some war mongers who relish and covet power over others).
We should stop and actually listen…open your mind to other possibilities, and solutions, and opinions. It may not change your own perspectives, but it could open up conversations and resolutions, perhaps?

“Listen”, by Collective Soul, was released as a single from their album, “Disciplined Breakdown”, in 1996. It was written by Ed Roland, and is on the Atlantic label.

Maggie May – Song Lyric Sunday – Think
Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 7/8/18
***
It’s Song Lyric Sunday, and Helen has challenged us with the prompt word ”think’. Thanks so much, Helen, for providing a place for us to showcase some songs we like, whether old ones or new ones.
If you, too, would like to join in this weekly challenge, just click the above link for details. Listen to other entries, also. It’s fun! 🙂

This song is one I’ve liked ever since it came out. It reminds me of road trips, because we always heard it when we were traveling down a highway.
It may be a stretch for the ‘think’ prompt, but it does have the word in the lyrics. I read that it was inspired by a similar experience that Rod Stewart had in his past.

“Maggie May”, by Rod Stewart, was released in 1971, from his album, “Every Picture Tells a Story”. It was written by Rod Stewart, and Martin Quittenton, and is on the Mercury label.

SONG LYRIC SUNDAY 
Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 6/25/17
***
Today the prompt for Song Lyric Sunday is to find songs with ‘sounds’ in the title or lyrics. To join in the challenge, just click the above link. You can also see other entries.
***
I’ve chosen two songs to feature today, because why not? They are two completely different themes, yet both have sounds in their titles.
This first one is sung by Haley Mills. You probably remember her from her roles in movies and television. I’ve always enjoyed them.
“Ching Ching and a Ding Ding Ding”, by Haley Mills, was released in 1962. It was written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, and is on the Buena Vista label.
The song seems to be about about a girl having a crush on a guy, while in high school. Sounds all innocent and sweet, if a little cheesy. I like the song, though, and even have the actual 45 record!
***

Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
I know a fellow just as cute as can be
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
I really think that he’s the boy for me
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
He takes me to dances and he sure knows how
He’s a real humdinger and a triple wow
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
We go together but when we are alone
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
We’re always talking on the telephone
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
We went to the cinema and as I planned
The plot got exciting and he held my hand
Ching ching
Oo-oo-oo, when we twist yeah yeah
(yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
Oo-oo-oo, it’s just the swingingest
(yeah yeah)
You’re my style, crocodile
If I had the pick of all the boys in town
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
I’d pick him up and put the others down
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
On a string I wear his high school ring
I’m his queen and he’s my everything
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
Ching ching
You’re my style, crocodile
If I had the pick of all the boys in town
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
I’d pick him up and put the others down
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
On a string I wear his high-school ring
I’m his queen and he’s my everything
Ching ching, and a ding ding ding
***
This next song is, shall we say, a bit more mature in it’s theme suggestions. I like it, too.
“(Get It On) Bang a Gong”, by T-rex, was released as a single from the album, “Electric Warrior”, in 1971. It was written by Marc Bolen, and is on the Fly (UK) and Reprise (U.S.) labels.

Well you’re dirty and sweet, clad in black
Don’t look back and I love you
You’re dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you’re slim and you’re weak
You’ve got the teeth of a hydra upon you
You’re dirty sweet and you’re my girl
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
You’re built like a car,
You’ve got a hub cap diamond star halo
You’re built like a car, oh yeah
You’re an untamed youth that’s the truth
With your cloak full of eagles
You’re dirty sweet and you’re my girl
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
You’re windy and wild,
You’ve got the blues in your shoes and your stockings
You’re windy and wild, oh yeah
You’re built like a car,
You’ve got a hub cap diamond star halo
You’re dirty sweet and you’re my girl
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
You’re dirty and sweet,
Clad in black, don’t look back and I love you
You’re dirty and sweet, oh yeah
You dance when you walk so let’s dance,
Take a chance, understand me
You’re dirty sweet and you’re my girl
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Take me
For a meanwhile I’m still thinking
51 WEEKS/51 SONGS FROM the PAST

51 Weeks: 51 Songs From The Past: Week 25: Elbow – One Day Like This
***
Thanks, Hugh, for another great prompt for this challenge!
Time for another look back at a song from the past. We were asked what song would we like as a wake up tune in the mornings.
One song I love to hear any time, morning, evening, day, or night, is this one you can see in the video below. It is a fun song, and easy to sing along to. I have to sing it, out loud, any time or place I hear it. This song always puts me in a good mood. It helps that I know all the words without looking. Not saying I can carry a tune at all, but I’ve sang it at home, in grocery stores, and restaurants…wherever I hear it playing.
You remember the song from last week, “The Way”, by Fastball? I heard it on the speakers at the grocery store just yesterday. Yes, I sang that one out loud, too. 🙂

“Take It Easy”, by the Eagles, was released as a single, from the album, “Eagles”, in 1972. It is on the Asylum label, and was written by Jackson Browne, and Glenn Frey.

We get it almost every night
When that moon is big and bright
It’s a supernatural delight
Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They don’t bark, and they don’t bite
They keep things loose, they keep ’em tight
Everybody was dancin’ in the moonlight
Dancin’ in the moonlight
Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright
It’s such a fine and natural sight
Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
We like our fun and we never fight
You can’t dance and stay uptight
It’s a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin’ in the moonlight
Dancin’ in the moonlight
Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright
It’s such a fine and natural sight
Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
We get it almost every night
When that moon is big and bright
It’s a supernatural delight
Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
Dancin’ in the moonlight
Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright
It’s such a fine and natural sight
Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
Dancin’ in the moonlight
Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright
It’s such a fine and natural sight
Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
Dancin’ in the moonlight
Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright
It’s such a fine and natural sight
Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
Dancin’ in the moonlight
Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright
It’s such a fine and natural sight
Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
Dancin’ in the moonlight
Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright

Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
SIGN – STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS SATURDAY – SOCS – 6/17/17

For today’s SOCS we have the prompt word, ‘sign’, to use any way we want to. Join in the fun of SOCS, and see other entries by clicking the above link.

We see signs everywhere. It seems I take a lot of photos of all kinds of signs, and I especially like them when they are a bit funny. Some signs tell us which way to go, some tell us what not to do, and some just make no sense what so ever. Some signs have words misspelled, or letters left out. Some signs give a warning. I’ve made my own signs, too. Some I’ve made are for yard sales at my house, advertising that I will do ironing, put on bulletin boards here and there, and a lost dog notice we put on a bulletin board. These are just a very few of the many photos I have of signs.

Here’s a song that has the word sign in the title. It’s a good song. 🙂

“Gimme Little Sign”, by Brenton Wood, was released in 1967, from the album, “Oogum Boogum”. It is on the Double Shot label, and was written by Alfred Smith, Joe Hooven, and Jerry Winn.

SONG LYRIC SUNDAY
https://helenswordsoflife.com/2017/06/10/song-lyric-sunday-theme-for-61117/
***
Today, for Song Lyric Sunday, we are asked to find a song with alcohol in the title. There are so many of these, it’s hard to pick one, but I’ve always liked this one because it has a smooth sound, and is a bit melancholy.
***
“Brandy”, by Looking Glass, was released as a single from the album, “Looking Glass”, in 1972. It is on the Epic label, and was written by Elliot Lurie.
***
***
There’s a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time a way
And talk about their homes
And there’s a girl in this harbor town
And she works laying whiskey down
They say Brandy, fetch another round
She serves them whisky and wine
The sailors say…
Chorus:
Brandy, you’re a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the north of Spain
A locket that bears the name of a man that Brandy loved
He came on a summer’s day – bearing gifts – from far away
But he made it clear he couldn’t stay
No harbor was his home
The sailor said Brandy…
– Chorus –
Brandy, you’re a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life my love and my lady is the sea.
Yeah Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told this sailor’s story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its raging glory
But he had always told the truth
Lord he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who’s not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say…
– Chorus –
Brandy, you’re a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life my love and my lady is the sea.
Brandy, you’re a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life my love and my lady is the sea….
