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.

Past AMVs of the Day

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

Song of the Day: Iron Man by Black Sabbath


Why not?

I am Iron Man

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall?

Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We’ll just pass him there
Why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfurl

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again

Writer/s: Anthony Frank Iommi, John Michael Osbourne, Terence Michael Butler, William Ward

Song of the Day: Do Lung by Francis Ford Coppola and Carmine Coppola


Since today is Marlon Brando’s birthday, it only seems appropriate that today’s song of the day should come from the soundtrack of one of his films.  (I’ll also be watching this film later tonight.)

From 1979’s Apocalypse Now, here is the haunting music that plays as Willard and the boat approach the infamous bridge that is built every day so that it can be destroyed every night.

Music Video of the Day: Too Much Pressure by The Selecter (2017, dir by ????)


Too much pressure!

I hope that’s not a case where you are today.  If it is, calm down.  Take a walk.  Take a few deep breaths.  Count backwards from 100.  Listen to this song.  You’re going to be okay!

Enjoy!
