For today’s song of the day, we have the title tune to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. The Shining is a classic horror film and one that I look forward to revisiting on this site for our annual October Horrorthon.
For now, enjoy the greatest road trip music ever recorded.
Chuck Mangione, RIP.
Today’s song of the day comes from Lalo Schifrin’s score for 1968’s Bullitt. This piece of music comes from the film’s classic and trendsetting car chase.
Since today is Raymond Chandler’s birthday, it seems appropriate that our song of the day should come from the best of the Philip Marlowe films.
We all knew it was coming but this one still hurts.
Ozzy Osbourne, RIP.
All aboard! Hahaha
Crazy, but that’s how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe, it’s not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life’s a bitter shame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’ve listened to preachers,
I’ve listened to fools
I’ve watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah, yeah
Heirs of a cold war,
that’s what we’ve become
Inheriting troubles,
I’m mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I’m living with something that just isn’t fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what’s to blame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
Today’s song of the day comes the 1967 winner for Best Picture, Norman Jewison’s In The Heat of the Night.
Oh, how I love this song!
The mystery of space is coming to you!
Ok, time to get back in the saddle.
The latest entry in the “Greatest Guitar Solos Series” comes courtesy of The Beatles and one of the best songs, if not the best one, from their 1969 album, Abbey Road.
The song is the George Harrison penned “Something” and its been acknowledged by musicians and critics to be the greatest love song that doesn’t have the mention the word love (on a serious note, it is the greatest love song).
The guitar solo is performed by George Harrison and arrives as part of the song’s outro.
Something
[Verse 1]
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
[Chorus]
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
[Verse 2]
Somewhere in her smile, she knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
[Chorus]
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
[Bridge]
You’re asking me, will my love grow?
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around, now, it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know
[Guitar Solo]

For today’s song of the day, we’ve got David Hasselhoff covering Iggy Pop and appearing to have an existential crisis. Sing it, Hoff!
