After watching Dangerous Curves, this music video felt appropriate.
Enjoy!
Today’s music video of the day is the latest from Kate Hudson. You could say that it’s right on time and you would be correct on many different levels. Try it and see!

Valentine’s Day is nearly over! A day like today …. it can justify three songs of the day can’t it? Originally, I wanted to cap things off with Carly Simon’s Nobody Does It Better but that song has already been our Song of the Day once this year.
So, instead, our final song of the day is another wonderfully romantic song from the James Bond franchise. Of course, it may be bring a tear to your eye if you’ve seen On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. It turns out that Bond and Tracy did not have all the time in the world. But at least they had the time that they did!
Here is the amazing Louis Armstrong with the saddest Bond song ever!
We have all the time in the world
Time enough for life to unfold
All the precious things love has in store
We have all the love in the world
If that’s all we have, you will find
We need nothing more
Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the world
Far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more, nothing less
Only love
Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the world
Far behind us, yes
We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more, nothing less
Only love
Only love
Songwriters: John Barry / Hal David
Valentine’s Day is a big deal! It can have more than one song of the day, right?
I mean, how can I let this day go by without sharing my favorite Bond theme song? All Time High may have been written because there weren’t many words that rhymed with Octopussy but it’s still not only one of my favorite Bond themes but also one of my favorite love songs.
Plus, it’s one of the few songs that I used to absolutely kill with during karaoke night at Grandpa Tony’s.
(Grandpa Tony’s was a nice little restaurant. The owner was a former boxer who had a crush on my mom so he had no problem with her four daughters singing their hearts out every Friday! The older you get, the more you treasure memories like that.)
All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two
Had no intention to do the things we’ve done
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don’t look, you find
But then we’re two of a kind, we move as one
We’re an all-time high
We’ll change all that’s gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all-time high
We’ll take on the world and win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
I don’t want to waste a waking moment, I don’t want to sleep
I’m in so strong and so deep, and so are you
In my time, I’ve said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you, they’re true
We’re an all-time high
We’ll change all that’s gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all-time high
We’ll take on the world and win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
We’re an all-time high
Songwriters: Tim Rice / John Barry
Today’s Valentine’s Day song of the day is my favorite song of all time, performed by the wonderful Yvonne Elliman.
I don’t know why I’m surviving every lonely day
When there’s got to be no chance for me
My life would end, and it doesn’t matter how I cry
My tears of love are a waste of time
If I turn away, am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby
If I can’t have you, ah-ah-ah, oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby
If I can’t have you, ah-ah-ah
Can’t let go, and it doesn’t matter how I try
I gave it all so easily to you, my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby
If I can’t have you, ah-ah-ah, oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby
If I can’t have you, ah-ah-ah, oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby
If I can’t have you, ah-ah-ah, oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby
If I can’t have you, ah-ah-ah (I’m in love with nobody)
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby
If I can’t have you, ah-ah-ah, oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby
If I can’t have you, ah-ah-ah, no

The late, great British actor Oliver Reed was born 87 years ago in London. Reed was one of those actors who was so infamous for his often alcohol-fueled exploits off-screen that it was often overlooked that he was also a very talented man whose ability to create intriguing characters was appreciated by directors Ken Russell and whose powerful screen presence went far beyond his famously scarred face. Oliver Reed was one of the actors considered for the role of James Bond after Sean Connery left the part. With his physicality and his dangerous smile, Reed would have offered an intriguing take on the character.
A British cultural icon, Oliver Reed was someone who tended to show up in the least expected places. In 1992, The Troggs rerecorded and rereleased their best-known song, Wild Thing. Accompanying them in the recording was none other than Oliver Reed. In honor of an actor who could do it all, here is today’s song of the day!
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
I love you
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing
Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
You move me
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
C’mon, c’mon, wild thing
Check it, check it, wild thing
Songwriters: Matt Dike / Marvin Young / Anthony Terrell Smith
We’ve all been there.
Enjoy!
Seeing as today is Lincoln’s Birthday, it seems appropriate that today’s song of the day should come from John Williams’s score of Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, performed here by the Film Symphony Orchestra.
Idiot Box was a term often used to describe television and …. Hey, I like the idiot box!
Uhmmm ….. well, let’s forget I said that.
I also like black-and-white videos and good music.
Enjoy!
Today’s music video of the day has a weird vibe that I like. Watching it, I found myself thinking about those weird cults that would form communes in the wild and everyone would have the same hairstyle and every night would end with a sing along around the campfire. Admittedly, I’m not sure if these cults actually exist but I always imagine they’re out there somewhere. Personally, I would dread running into them.
Enjoy!
