Today’s song of the day is one that will hopefully help me get a little bit more focused on getting things done. Either that, or it will inspire me to go out and drive really fast. I’ll find out soon enough!

Music Video of the Day: Supernova Love by Ive and David Guetta (2024, dir by Ivo Heffner)
It’s good when a music video takes you places.

Song of the Day: Once Upon A Time In The West by Ennio Morricone
Continuing this somewhat impromptu tribute to the year 1968, today’s song of the day comes to us from Ennio Morricone’s classic score for Sergio Leone’s Once Upon A Time In The West!
Music Video of the Day: Some Velvet Morning by Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood (1968, dir by ????)
I like this video. It has sort of a dream-like, spaghetti western feel to it.
Enjoy!
Song of the Day: Money (That’s What I Want) by The Flying Lizards
I did check my stock portfolio this morning. Jeff warned me not to. Erin told me not to. If I had asked my other sisters, I’m sure they would have said, “Don’t do it, just let our broker deal with it….”
But I checked. Agck!
It’s funny. I didn’t really care about money until I had it.
Anyway, today’s song of the day should make sense now.
The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I need money (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
Your love give me such a thrill
But your love don’t pay my bills
I need money (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
Money don’t get everything, it’s true
But what it don’t get, I can’t use
I need money (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
Money (that’s what I want)
Lots of money (that’s what I want)
Whole lot of money (that’s what I want)
Uh-huh (that’s what I want)
All I want (that’s what I want)
Whoa, yeah (that’s what I want)
Give me money (that’s what I want)
Oh, lots of money (that’s what I want)
All those lean greens, yeah (that’s what I want)
I got that, uh, that’s what I mean (that’s what I want)
All that I want (that’s what I want)
Whoa, yeah (that’s what I want)
Give me money, yeah

There are all sorts of ways!
Enjoy!
Song of the Day: Rumble by Link Wray
Today’s song of the day is the only instrumental tune to be banned from being played on the radio. Back in 1958, when Link Wray first released this song, it was felt that the title and the sound would promote juvenile delinquency and that the song had to be banned for the mental well-being of the nation’s youth. The radio stations must have made the right decision because we all know how peaceful the 60s turned out to be.
Music Video of the Day: Jacked by Heartworms (2024, dir by Gilbert Trejo)
No one is a prisoner as long as they can dream.

Song of the Day: Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes
Bette Davis was born 107 years ago today. Today’s song of the day just feels right.
Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll turn her music on you
You won’t have to think twice
She’s pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes
And she’ll tease you, she’ll unease you
All the better just to please you
She’s precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo’s standoff sighs, she’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She’ll lay you on a throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll expose you, when she snows you
Offer feed with the crumbs she throws you
She’s ferocious and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she’s a spy, she’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll tease you, she’ll unease you
All the better just to please you
She’s precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she’s a spy, she’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll tease you
She’ll unease you
Just to please you
She’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll expose you
When she snows you
‘Cause she knows you, she’s got Bette Davis Eyes
She’ll tease you
Songwriters: Donna Weiss / Jackie De Shannon
