Song of the Day: The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde by Georgie Fame
With today’s song of the day, we continue our Bonnie and Clyde theme!
This song is from 1968 and was inspired by Arthur Penn’s classic crime film, Bonnie and Clyde. Oddly enough, this song insists that Bonnie and Clyde were from Savannah, Georgia when everyone knows that they were from my part of the world, North Texas. Then again, “Savannah” does sound a bit better when set to music than “West Dallas.”
Song of the Day: Xanadu by Olivia Newton-John
One what would have been her birthday, today’s song of the day comes to us from Olivia Newton-John.
Song of the Day: One Headlight by The Wallflowers
We can drive it home with one headlight….
Some songs just get stuck in your head and I think this is definitely one of them. This is also a song that always used to play in the background at one of my favorite used bookstores. I associate One Headlight with searching through old books and learning about history.

Today’s song of the day comes from Ennio Morricone’s score for Once Upon A Time In The West.
RIP, Claudia Cardinale.
Song of the Day: Sweetly, Oh Sweetly by Riz Ortolani and Diana Corsini
Today’s song of the day comes from the soundtrack of Ruggeo Deodato’s The House On The Edge of the Park. Composed by Riz Ortolani and sung by Diana Corsini, Sweetly Oh Sweetly may sound like an innocent song but its use in Deodato’s controversial film is anything but that.
Song of the Day: Face On by John Powell
Since today is John Woo’s birthday, it only feels appropriate that today’s song of the day should come from John Powell’s score for Face/Off.
Song of the Day: The Farewell Scene by John Williams
For today’s song of the day, we have this wonderful piece of music from John Williams’s score for Oliver Stone’s Nixon.
Song of the Day: Atlantis by Donovan
For the most part, I didn’t care much for Borderline but I did appreciate the way the film used today’s song of the day.
(Needless to say, this song was always used to brilliant effect in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas.)
