Song Of The Day: Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! by Dean Martin
We woke up to glorious snow this morning. It’s pretty, even if it’s not quite the blizzard that we were promised by the weather service. That said, it’s 11 degrees outside and I’m looking forward to spending the next few days cuddled up inside.
In others words, let it snow!
Here’s Dean Martin expressing the thought perfectly in today’s song of the day.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Man it doesn’t show signs of stopping
And I brought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow! Let it snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But if you’ll really hold me tight
All the way home I’ll be warm
And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still goodbying
But as long as you’d love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow and snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But if you really grab me tight
All the way home I’ll be warm
Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still goodbying
But as long as you’d love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Music Video of the Day: Down by Victoria Justice (2024, dir by Luis De Pena)
Today, we wish a happy birthday to the one and only Victoria Justice! I’m currently up at our lakehouse so I can relate to this video in spirit, even though it’s currently 18 degrees up here. It’s the thought that counts.
Enjoy!
Song of the Day: Don’t Your Forget About Me by Simple Minds
Given the fact that today is the birthday of both John Hughes and Molly Ringwald, it seems obvious what today’s song of the day should be.
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah
Won’t you come see about me?
I’ll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving everything inside and out and
Love’s strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don’t you, forget about me
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Don’t you, forget about me
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah
Don’t you try and pretend
It’s my feeling we’ll win in the end
I won’t harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security, ah
Don’t you forget about me
I’ll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I’ll put us back together at heart, baby
Don’t you, forget about me
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Don’t you, forget about me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?
I say
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
When you walk on by
And you call my name
When you walk on by

Music Video Of The Day: High Fashion by Addison Rae (2025, dir by Mitch Ryan)
Just call the song “Cocaine” and be done with it. There’s nothing particularly subtle about this video.
Enjoy!
Music Video of the Day: Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter, feat. Dolly Parton (2025, Dir. by Sabrina Carpenter and Sean Price Williams)
Everyone has their own way of celebrating Valentine’s Day.
When I first learned that Sabrina Carpenter was the new big thing in music, my first reaction was, “You mean the friend from Girl Meets World?” I was skeptical but she’s won me over. Sabrina really can sing! She proves it in this video, holding her own with none other than Dolly Parton as they bury Sabrina’s ex.
I like the look of this video. Everything looks better in black-and-white. Some of the images remind me of the photography of Diane Arbus and the way she captured the unique identity of America.
Enjoy!
Song of the Day: The Main Theme From The Natural by Randy Newman
Just like yesterday’s song of the day, this is a piece of music that will be familiar to anyone who has ever been to a baseball game.
Randy Newman composed this for the 1984 classic baseball movie, The Natural. I defy anyone to listen to this without immediately remembering the greatest home run that they’ve ever seen.
Song of the Day: Centerfield by John Fogerty
Lisa asked me to pick today’s song of the day and you’ll never guess what it’s about!
Baseball!
If you’ve been to a game, you’ve heard Centerfield. If you’ve been to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, you’ve heard Centerfield a lot. This song captures everything that I and so many other people love about the great American pastime! I can’t wait to hear it again in just a few more weeks!
Well, I beat the drum and hold the phone
The sun came out today
We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field
A-roundin’ third and headed for home
It’s a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel
Oh, put me in, coach
I’m ready to play today
Put me in, coach
I’m ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield
Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine
Watching it from the bench
You know I took some lumps
When the Mighty Casey struck out
So say, “Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio”
Don’t say it ain’t so you, know the time is now
Oh, put me in, coach
I’m ready to play today
Put me in, coach
I’m ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield
You got a beat up glove, a homemade bat
And a brand new pair of shoes
You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch ’em all, a moment in the sun
It’s a-gone and you can tell that one goodbye
Oh, put me in, coach
I’m ready to play today
Put me in, coach
I’m ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield (yeah)
Oh, put me in, coach
I’m ready to play today
Put me in, coach
I’m ready to play today
Look at me, gotta be centerfield
Yeah

Bonus Song Of The Day: We Have All The Time In The World by Louis Armstrong
Valentine’s Day is nearly over! A day like today …. it can justify three songs of the day can’t it? Originally, I wanted to cap things off with Carly Simon’s Nobody Does It Better but that song has already been our Song of the Day once this year.
So, instead, our final song of the day is another wonderfully romantic song from the James Bond franchise. Of course, it may be bring a tear to your eye if you’ve seen On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. It turns out that Bond and Tracy did not have all the time in the world. But at least they had the time that they did!
Here is the amazing Louis Armstrong with the saddest Bond song ever!
We have all the time in the world
Time enough for life to unfold
All the precious things love has in store
We have all the love in the world
If that’s all we have, you will find
We need nothing more
Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the world
Far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more, nothing less
Only love
Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the world
Far behind us, yes
We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more, nothing less
Only love
Only love
