Smokey and the Bandit - East Bound and Down

Ah. Great movie. The memories. To think of all the ta's ruined making it.

From one jerry reed song to another. Song always meant something to me especially considering the circumstances

Patches


And I posted this in another thread but it belongs here. A buddy of mine I met many years ago and phenomenal blues guitarist with a studio mastered live recording with one of his bands.

Red House

[warspite1]

The perfect song for Halloween!

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ycOp67eLoM

What a stonkingly brilliant toon! [&o]

[Missouri_Rebel]

Did someone mention Nazareth?

Guilty

[warspite1]

Right music lovers. How about we set out our all time top 20 toons. We are about to be marooned on a desert island and these 20 songs are the only ones you will ever hear again.

What do you choose and why? Who fancies going first? Doesn't have to be all 20 in one hit.

[warspite1]

Okay I will lead off - in no particular order:

1/20 - Arcade Fire - Ready to Start

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwdUVjyxWrM

An upbeat number (unlike most of my choices). A qualitee toon all the way through, but the last 45 seconds or so are absolutely superb. A great album and the best song from it.

[Missouri_Rebel]

Very good Sir, I'll go next.


Its a song bout the whole world always fighting over the smallest things. A spoonful of this or that is a Southern black saying usually meaning something very insignificant.It does not mean drugs. Love the sharp guitar.

'It could be a spoonful of water
Save ya from the desert sand
But one spoon of a little '45
Save you from another man'

Spoonful

[shunwick]

Florence + The Machine - Breath of Life

Best wishes,
Steve

[Missouri_Rebel]

Quite the variety so far. I like where this is going.

[Boomer78]

The Cult - She Sells sanctuary (Long Version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAdRCUsqg-U

A little overplayed in pop retro culture... but who cares, it's still one of the most awesome rock songs ever.

New to me. I don't know much from the genre.

[warspite1]

Thanks for joining in guys. I will listen to these and then post my second choice.

This is really tough, trying to imagine that I will never hear another song (apart from the 20 I select) again!

[Missouri_Rebel]

Is this island in hell? Because I can see the Macarena being sung there often if so.

[DampSquib]

Labi Siffre - The Vulture http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DByyEuYEvc

Labi again - I Got The http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKISdd2mKzU

Any world without music sounds like hell to me - but yes, probably better no music than the Macarena [;)]

[warspite1]

Mmm I liked the Florence and the Machine no. The Cult is well known to people of my age group, but I confess was never one of my fave's. Both Howlin' Wolf and Labi Siffre (except something inside so strong) are outside of my usual musical tastes but I quite like Spoonful.

Onto nos. 2 and 3/20

I am going to go for two Disco tracks (maybe a 3rd later if there is room). Ridiculously difficult choice to have to make, but there are two that really stand out for me:

Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Till You Get Enough.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZorRGrDiMsA

Upbeat and funky and with just soooo much going on - synths, drums, bass, cowbells (of course [:)]), trumpets, strings - just a cacophony of wonderful noise that makes you want to dance - even though you know you can't!

McFadden and Whitehead - Ain't No Stopping Us Now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY0tsKCB4lc

Even though this is supposed to be an inspiring little no. I actually find this quite a sad song which is probably why I like it...

LOL. I'd rather chew broken glass than ever hear that song again. I went to a basketball game back in the late 90s, and they played that song every 20 seconds when there was a break or a foul. I was close to tears. Another basketball game later and instead it was 'whoomp there it is'.

I never went to another basketball game.

No. 4 /20

Wow - simply wow. [&o][&o] This track is almost 18 minutes of almost indescribable, unadulterated, musical genius, hairs on the back of your neck standing fully to attention, eardrums suitably assaulted. What is absolute quality until the 12th minute (including the tribute to the war dead at 8 minutes) turns into an orgy of brilliance thereafter - the chanting and whistling on top of a string sound so exquisite you want to kiss it - and all the while the relentless, unfailingly, hypnotic beating of the drums.

Underworld - And I Will Kiss

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq84A4HUdaY

The fact that my eldest warspite played on it helps too [;)]

[captskillet]

Lou Reed!

That is the definitive background music for any epic game. Got it rolling now.
