Oh man, I am feeling bad today.
FearlessFly comments on Apr 11, 2020:
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "I Got the Blues" is a slow-paced, bluesy song. It features languid guitars with heavy influence of both blues and soul feel. In his review, Richie Unterberger compares the Stones' take on their early influences, saying, "Musically, it's very much in the school of slow Stax ballads, by [Otis] Redding and some others, with slow reverbed guitars with a gospel feel, dignified brass, and a slow buildup of tension."
These great questions and answers are from the days of "Hollywood Squares.

The music video for "Alive and Kicking" was filmed near the town of Hunter, at North–South Lake in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. A portion of the video was filmed on the overlook at the site of the old Catskill Mountain House (previously demolished). It was directed by Zbigniew Rybczyński, who directed the video for "All the Things She Said", the third single from the same album

Sometimes When We Touch -Dan Hill - [youtu.be]
FearlessFly comments on Apr 11, 2020:
"Sometimes When We Touch" is a 1977 ballad written by Dan Hill (lyrics) and Barry Mann (music) on the album Longer Fuse. Hill was inspired to write "Sometimes When We Touch" from a previous relationship. In an interview with CBN News in 2017, Hill explained that the song was about being in love with someone who did not have similar feelings for him, "She was interested in another man, so that was breaking my heart. So I thought I needed to write a song that would capture her and win her over—that would be so passionate in a sense that she’d see that I’m the only guy for her."

"Soldier of Fortune" is a blues rock ballad written by Ritchie Blackmore and David Coverdale and originally released on Deep Purple's 1974 album Stormbringer. Though Deep Purple has never released the song as a single and it has never placed on the record charts, it has developed a cult following over the years, and cover versions have been released by Whitesnake, Opeth, and Black Majesty, and has been covered in concert by Blackmore's Night.

"Vivere" is a song written by Italian singer-songwriter Gerardina Trovato with Angelo Anastasio and Celso Valli. It was first recorded as a duet between Trovato and Italian pop tenor Andrea Bocelli and included in Trovato's 1994 album Non è un film as well as on Bocelli's debut album Il Mare Calmo della Sera.
From way back in 1966.
FearlessFly comments on Apr 11, 2020:
It was the group's first release with drummer Barry Jenkins, who replaced founding member John Steel as he had left the band in February of that year. "Don't Bring Me Down" was one of a series of Animals renditions of Brill Building material, following the 1965 hits "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" and "It's My Life". According to one account, all three came out of one call in 1965 that the Animals' then-producer Mickie Most made for songs.
ABBA.
FearlessFly comments on Apr 11, 2020:
The song is loosely based on the famous story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin. It is regarded by some ABBA fans as being very different from the more mainstream songs they had recorded until this time. In particular, the dark lyrics dealing with the seduction by fascistic leaders and a somewhat medieval sound (drums, flute, choral) are not seen in their earlier songs. It is also the only ABBA song where a part of the refrain is in Latin. The song has gained a small cult following among ABBA fans

FearlessFly comments on Apr 10, 2020:
The album version of the song starts with a slowed-down voice stating "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I only want you to have some fun." Prince shares lead vocals on the track with members of his band The Revolution, namely Dez Dickerson, Lisa Coleman and Jill Jones. Originally conceived to be a three-part harmony, it was later decided to separate out the voices that started each verse. Some music critics have suggested Phil Collins' 1985 song "Sussudio" sounds very similar to "1999". Collins confirmed this claim, and remembers listening to "1999" frequently while he was on tour with Genesis

The song, a Steve Marriott composition, bemoans being arrested for possession of small quantities of illegal drugs, including cocaine; Durban poison, a potent strain of marijuana; and Red Lebanese and Black Nepalese, two types of hashish. "New Castle Brown" is often mistaken as a reference to Newcastle Brown Ale but actually refers to heroin also known as "Brown" or "Smack". The song refers to Borstal - "some seeds and dust, and you got Borstal"- referring to Borstal Prison and its borstal ilk - any manner of a British juvenile gaol. (Most lyrics listings get this wrong, and say "buzzed on" or "bust on".)

Good one hit wonder Safety Dance with a different mix of old time dancing.
FearlessFly comments on Apr 10, 2020:
The song was written by lead singer Ivan Doroschuk after he had been kicked out of a club for pogo dancing. The writer/lead singer, Ivan Doroschuk, has explained that "The Safety Dance" is a protest against bouncers prohibiting dancers from pogoing to 1980s new wave music in clubs when disco was dying and new wave was up and coming. New wave dancing, especially pogoing, was different from disco dancing, because it was done individually instead of with partners and involved holding the torso rigid and thrashing about. To uninformed bystanders this could look dangerous, especially if pogoers accidentally bounced into one another (the more deliberately violent evolution of pogoing is slamdancing). The bouncers did not like pogoing so they would tell pogoers to stop or be kicked out of the club. Thus, the song is a protest and a call for freedom of expression

(WORK, what's that ? ) :) The lyrics describe, in the first person, the singer's drive to "bang on the drum all day" to the exclusion of everything else. All the instruments on this track are performed by Rundgren. The song has become popular as an anti-work anthem or anthem of celebration.
Stormy Monday Allman Brothers [youtu.be]
FearlessFly comments on Apr 10, 2020:
"Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad)" (commonly referred to as "Stormy Monday") is a song written and recorded by American blues electric guitar pioneer T-Bone Walker. It is a slow twelve-bar blues performed in the West Coast blues-style that features Walker's smooth, plaintive vocal and distinctive guitar work. Brothers Duane and Gregg Allman began performing "Stormy Monday" with their early group, the Allman Joys, and it later became part of the Allman Brothers Band's repertoire. A March 1971 performance of the song at the Fillmore East concert hall in New York City was recorded and released on their At Fillmore East album in 1971. Their version is based on Bobby Bland's 1961 recording, but expanded to over eight minutes with improvised soloing.

FearlessFly comments on Apr 10, 2020:
R. L. Burnside (November 23, 1926 – September 1, 2005) was an American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. He played music for much of his life but received little recognition before the early 1990s. In the latter half of that decade, Burnside recorded and toured with Jon Spencer, garnering crossover appeal and introducing his music to a new fan base in the punk and garage rock scenes. His drone-heavy style was more characteristic of North Mississippi hill country blues than Delta blues.

FearlessFly comments on Apr 10, 2020:
After my response to @Geoffrey51 (below) I found : https://rare.us/people/number-of-american-serial-killers/ in which is this : "However, in regard to their number of serial killers, they’re placed about halfway down the list. For a more in-depth look at the full Radford University Serial Killer Statistics research, the documentation can be found here. But, according to Dr. Mike Aamodt, a forensic phycology professor at Radford University, the U.S. doesn’t have a disproportionate number of serial killers, rather it just easier to find them here than in any other country." . . . the "can be found here" (above) is this : http://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/Serial%20Killer%20Information%20Center/Serial%20Killer%20Statistics.pdf . . . in which is this : "First, law enforcement has to discover the murders and link them back to the same killer. That means you need competent law-enforcement agencies, which the U.S. has. The second part of being able to track serial killers is once the killer is identified, it has to be announced by law enforcement and made available in prison records. The information has to be available to the public." . . . in other words -- YMMV :P

FearlessFly comments on Apr 10, 2020:
(fronm waybackattack.com) Capitol released "Time Won't Let Me" as the band's debut single in January 1966. Ronnie Harkai had joined the Air Force shortly after recording the song and with a little repositioning the band locked in with Tom, Sonny, Mert, guitarist Bill Bruno and drummer Ricky Baker. WKYC-AM in Cleveland led the way and added the song to its playlist in early January. WERE and WHK jumped on it by the end of the month. The single was number one locally in mid-February; it spread nationally and hit the top ten in April.

It came to be included in most live concerts by the group, in several videos and in The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert where it was sung by Lisa Stansfield. The song is largely known for its music video for which all the band members dressed in drag, a concept proposed by Roger Taylor, which parodied the long-running ITV soap opera Coronation Street. The second part of the video included a composition rehearsed and performed with the Royal Ballet and choreographed by Wayne Eagling. Whereas the parody was acclaimed in the United Kingdom where cross-dressing is a popular trope in British comedy, it was considered controversial in the United States

FearlessFly comments on Apr 10, 2020:
. . . hmmm, I may have spoke too soon (nevertheless I like it anyway : (from lyricinterpretations.com) "It's a beautiful yet tragic song. It's about a young girl with dreams who wants to find her own identity. She needs to break free of the small close-minded town she grew up in. It's all she knows, but she's willing to leave to follow her dreams - and be somebody in this world. But unfortunately, what she once dreamt of has now turned into a sad spiral of addiction and defeat. The only thing she's left with are broken dreams and a devastating reality of how hard life can be. A side note: Symbolically, the narrator could be seen as God and the young woman seen as an imperfect human going through life. With God giving spiritual encouragement to 'hold on', knowing she will one day find her way in life."

"Heaven" took Warrant's record company by surprise. Indeed, once the widespread appeal of the song became apparent, the band were instructed to re-record the track to lend it a "bigger radio sound". The first 250,000 copies of the record featured the original version while later pressings featured a new version. The song had previously been recorded by Jani Lane and Steven Sweet's old band Plain Jane.

As far as I can remember, Mick came in with the whole idea of that, and the band just figured out how to play it.[5] - Keith Richards, Life magazine The lyrics are elliptical and mysterious, but touch on the alienation of life on the road: The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind Just another mad mad day on the road I am just living to be lying by your side But I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

In April 2016, Paul Simon endorsed the cover. Additionally, on April 1, Simon sent Draiman an email praising Disturbed's performance of the rendition on American talk show Conan. Simon wrote, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks." Draiman responded, "Mr. Simon, I am honored beyond words. We only hoped to pay homage and honor to the brilliance of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Your compliment means the world to me/us and we are eternally grateful."
A little bit of Grateful Dead Not fade away Smoking! [youtu.be]
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
. . . is Dead God :) "Not Fade Away" is a song credited to Buddy Holly (originally under his first and middle names, Charles Hardin) and Norman Petty (although Petty's co-writing credit is likely to have been a formality[3]) and first recorded by Holly and his band, the Crickets. The Grateful Dead first performed "Not Fade Away" on June 19, 1968 at the Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco, California, and subsequently performed it more than 600 more times before the group disbanded in 1995, following the death of lead guitarist Jerry Garcia. The surviving members reunited and played the song for the time as the Grateful Dead as the last song of the second set (before the encores) on the last night of Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of the Grateful Dead where the song signified that the fans' love of the band and the band's love of the fans "will not fade away."
Just be careful because people are going crazy from being in lock down! Actually I've just been ...

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Powderfinger [youtube.com]
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
"Powderfinger" is the first song of the second, electric, side of Rust Never Sleeps. Allmusic critic Jason Ankeny describes the song, following the album's mellower, acoustic first side, as "a sudden, almost blindsiding metamorphosis, which is entirely the point — it's the shot you never saw coming." The lyrics are the posthumous narration of a young man who attempts to protect his family against an approaching gunboat. He realizes that all of the older men are unavailable, leaving him "to do the thinking". After initial indecision, he eventually takes action, and is ultimately killed. He describes his death with the gruesome line "my face splashed in the sky."
Red red wine Bob Marley ( I like his version the best) [youtu.
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
(from thegrapesunwrapped.com) Combing through my knowledge of his music, along with the help of the internet, there are so many references to Marley singing “Red Red Wine”, which all appear erroneous to me. The song was originally written and performed by some guy named Neil Diamond, and was covered by a Jamaican reggae singer, Tony Tribe, in 1969. When the best known version of the song, by UB40, was released in the ‘80s, the band said they thought they were covering Tony Tribe, and not Neil Diamond.

Mike & The Mechanics - The Living Years [youtube.com]
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
"The Living Years" is a ballad written by Mike Rutherford and B. A. Robertson, and recorded by Rutherford's British rock band Mike + The Mechanics. It was released in December 1988 in the United Kingdom and in the United States as the second single from their album Living Years. The song addresses a son's regret over unresolved conflict with his now-deceased father.
Do you have a better-half like this?
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
(a bit pedantic perhaps) but the "nothing to hide" assertion : a) based on a false premise -- if there are things one would rather not be widely known, one MUST be doing something WRONG :P b) this assertion is virtually always made by a person who is FULLY CLOTHED ! :O

FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
"You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" is a rock song written by Randy Bachman and first performed by Bachman–Turner Overdrive (BTO) for the album Not Fragile (1974). The lyrics for the song tell of the singer meeting a "devil woman" who gives him love. The chorus of the song includes the song's famous stutter and speaks of her looking at him with big brown eyes and [saying] 'You ain't seen nothin' yet. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain't seen na, na, nothin yet. Here's somethin' that you're never gonna forget. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain't seen na, na, nothin yet.'
Lindisfarne-Turn A Deaf Ear [m.youtube.com]
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
Rab Noakes was brought up in Cupar. He has performed with Lindisfarne, who recorded his songs "Turn a Deaf Ear" on their first album, Nicely Out of Tune, and "Together Forever" on their second, Fog on the Tyne. Barbara Dickson also recorded "Turn a Deaf Ear" on her album Do Right Woman, on which Noakes also performed. Noakes also sang backing vocals and played guitar on the first solo album by Gerry Rafferty, Can I Have My Money Back, and became an early member of Stealers Wheel, although he left them before they recorded their first album.
Springtime in Alaska Johnny Horton [youtu.be]
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
The song takes place in Fairbanks, Alaska in the springtime. The narrator/singer is a prospector making a trip to Fairbanks after two years in the wilderness; he decides to visit a saloon and hears "redheaded Lil" singing the title words. He and Lil spend the evening dancing, but the singer is unaware that Lil is "Big Ed's wife-to-be." Big Ed discovers the two dancing and throws his knife at the singer, who predicts that he will not survive his wound: "When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below."
The next pandemic is already starting.

Lindisfarne - The Winter Song [m.youtube.com]
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
Elvis Costello singled out "Winter Song" as one of the greatest songs ever.
A favorite song and singer of mine, with stunning graphics for a world in lockdown due to Covid 19.
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
"The Sound of Silence", originally "The Sounds of Silence", is a song by the American music duo Simon & Garfunkel. The song was written by Paul Simon over several months in 1963 and 1964. In April 2016, Paul Simon endorsed the cover. Additionally, on April 1, Simon sent Draiman an email praising Disturbed's performance of the rendition on American talk show Conan. Simon wrote, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks." Draiman responded, "Mr. Simon, I am honored beyond words. We only hoped to pay homage and honor to the brilliance of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Your compliment means the world to me/us and we are eternally grateful."
Aretha Franklin. - Say A Little Prayer. [youtu.be] An all time favourite!
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
"I Say a Little Prayer" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Dionne Warwick. Franklin and background vocalists The Sweet Inspirations were singing the song for fun while rehearsing the songs intended for the album when the viability of their recording "I Say a Little Prayer" became apparent, significantly re-invented from the format of the Dionne Warwick original via the prominence of Clayton Ivey's piano work.
I ran across this in my saved videos, and for some reason, it just feels appropriate today.
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
(savingcountrymusic.com) The disc also includes 3 Shades of Black, which climaxes with a bloodcurdling scream, and Stoned & Alone, a country ballad. “My dad’s version of that song would be The Pressure Is On,’ he said. “I still live for the road; I don’t live for a lady – I guess that’s part of the problem.”
As Long as You Follow - Fleetwood Mac - [youtu.be]
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
"As Long as You Follow" and "No Questions Asked" were new tracks at the time of the Greatest Hits album's release.

"Hold Me" was also re-released in the UK with "No Questions Asked" as its B-side in February 1989.
Tragically Hip - Fully Completely and Grace Too [youtube.com] Gord was such a force.
FearlessFly comments on Apr 9, 2020:
In order to promote the album, the band appeared on Saturday Night Live in 1995, thanks in large part to the finagling of fellow Canadian and Kingston-area resident Dan Aykroyd, who was a fan of the band, and appeared on the show just to introduce them, despite John Goodman hosting the episode. The band performed "Grace, Too" and "Nautical Disaster".
