Music Video of the Day: Can I Go Now? by Jennifer Love Hewitt (2003, dir by Liz Friedlander)

Don’t mess with Jennifer Love Hewitt!

I’ve always liked Jennifer Love Hewitt, largely because we’re both Texas girls, we both have what others seem to consider to be an unusual sense of humor, and I imagine that we both share the same struggle when it comes to having to remind men that our eyes are up here.  Of course, for all that we have in common, a huge difference between the two of us is that Jennifer Love Hewitt can actually sing whereas I can barely carry a tune.

Can I Go Now? was the second single to be released from her 2003 album, BareNaked.  In the video, Jennifer fights with her boyfriend, she leaves her boyfriend, she returns to her boyfriend, she leaves her boyfriend …. it’s a never-ending cycle of coming and going so I guess the answer to the question is that you can really never leave.  At one point, she joins her boyfriend in the shower and he kind of gets weird about it.  I’m not really sure what to make of this guy.  I would definitely leave and not return until he found a place that had a wall between the kitchen and the living room.

Enjoy!

What a romantic song. Of course, this was originally heard in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. It turned out that James Bond and Tracy didn’t have all the time in the world.

Enjoy!

In today’s music video of the day, we visit the Church of the Ramones, where the band is energizing the congregation with a cover of The Chambers Brothers’s Time Has Come Today.

And indeed the time has come.  It’s Groundhog Day!  For the first time this year, someone is going to tell the future!

ENJOY!

Song of the Day: Free by Michael Fredo

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today is National Freedom Day, which celebrates the anniversary of President Lincoln singing the joint House and Senate resolution that proposed the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Today’s song of the day is a favorite of mine and I think it deserves to be heard by more people.  Here is Michael Fredo with Free.

Ain’t never had a day, never had a day
Ain’t never had a day, never had a day

Rising up, the morning sun
Walking down the street, oh, my day has just begun
I’m feeling fine, what’s come over me?
Ain’t never had a day when I feel so, feel so

Feel so free
Ain’t never had a day, what’s come over me, baby?
Feel so free, yeah
Ain’t never had a day, what’s come over me?

I thought this day would never ever end
I felt so high (Felt so high)
I’d do it all again (I’d do it all again)
I can’t explain what’s been in my heart
It’s not about a girl (It’s not about a girl)
It’s about my day and how it started

Feel so free
Ain’t never had a day, what’s come over me, baby?
Feel so free, yeah
Ain’t never had a day when I can fly so, fly so

Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’ve waited for you so long and I cannot say goodbye
So come and fly with me
I’ll take you to a place that you would rather be

The day is done, the night is here
I look up to the sky with stars perfectly clear
The moon is full, I praise the Lord
For another day that we can say, we can say hey

Oh, oh, oh, ain’t never had a day, what’s come over me, baby?
Feel so free, yeah
Ain’t never had a day when I can, when I can groove with you
Never had a day, never had a day
Ain’t never had a day, what’s come over me, baby?
Feel so free, yeah

Never, never, never, never had a day

Free, free
Free, free

Song of the Day: Nothing Ever Happens On Mars from Waiting For Guffman

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s song of the day could probably double for a scene that I love but that’s okay.  I’ve always loved the Nothing Ever Happens On Mars song from Waiting to Guffman.

(Mars?  “Where’s that!?”)

It’s such a marvelous scene.  Yes, it captures the absurdity of regional theater but it also captures the underlying sweetness of it as well.  We may laugh but it’s still hard not to be touched by how much the members of the audience love it.

And, in the contest of the show, it’s a nice reminder that we’re not that different.  Martians get bored with their hometown as well!
