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.

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: Diamonds Are Forever, performed by Shirley Bassey


Today, on Sean Connery’s birthday, our song of the day is the theme for one of my favorite Bond films.  I know that some people claim that Diamonds are Forever is a lesser Bond film but personally, I think it’s just silly enough to be effective.  James Bond and Las Vegas are a match made in heaven.
