Favorite Music

How old we really are

Gosh I haven't heard Silvia's Mother in years. Good one Caroline.

I love Alice Cooper......he was my favorite as a teen.

True Blood does have some drool wrothy guys. Yup they are real men. Even though I like Twilight, the reality is that it is vampire lite.



Since we are going to the past........

Crimson & Clover

Mony Mony

Kool & the Gang

Yes, Twilight is vampire light next to Eric.

If we're going back in time -- how about these --

Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down

Elvis Presley -- A little less conversation -- this is a bit of a remix and was used as the theme song for the tv show called Las Vegas with James Caan.

War -- Low Rider

Bee Gees -- Stayin Alive Get on your disco shoes ladies!

Now for a few more off the beaten track songs for your listening enjoyment

Big & Rich -- Save a Horse Ride A Cowboy -- country duo and this is the song that everyone knows about -- makes you want to dance.

Time to get you Rasta reggae on -- Chaka Demus & Pliers -- Murder She Wrote -- this was in the movie Save thet Last Dance with Julia Stiles

Train - Hey Soul Sister -- I enjoy this one a lot -- bouncy dance beat This group was on DWTS and is where I really said I want this song! It's fun watching the guitarist switch between the electric guitar & ukulele.

Harry Belefonte -- Jump in the Line -- my all time favorite!

Enjoy!

Edited to add -- This is a lot of fun. I hope the thread continues!

Mony Mony - wow what memories, great song Susan, my response Swinging Blue Jeans - hippy hippy Shake

"Celebrate good times come on" (that's me singing along with Kool and the gang)

My favourite Elvis Elvis - Jailhouse Rock Such a great star

Low Rider love it!


My favourite Bee Gees Bee Gees - how deep is your love

Like Harry Belafonte as he was one of my dad's favourites.

You are right Andrea this thread is fun, but it could get interesting. .... and you should have never gone there with chaka demus and pliers. that's right up my street, but I don't think you will quite ready for mix on (what is termed as Ragga music in England). I have a truck load.

Some of my dad's selection

Louis Armstrong - What Wonderful World
Danny Williams - Moon River
Roger Miller - King of the Road
Frank and Nancy - Something Stupid

Well come back and listen later.....cooking dinner now. But just have to post this favorite song.

You will need your boots for this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRkovnss7sg

You read my mind Susan, I was going post that song, absolutely loved it. This was a record that I claimed as mine when I was very young and I still have it. I used to go all round the house in my boots singing these boots are made for walking

And this is another that I claimed when I was young Greenfinger Adam Faith

Gosh I am behind so bear with me

Caroline, I counter your Europe Final Countdown with this version

Bon Jovi Always

Susan...Tommy James and the Shondells...ah memories

War reminds me off http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyMgTjHT0wQ

and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wNmlrdCBkE


Caroline, I think Louis Armstrong What a Wonderful World is my all-time favorite song. I had never heard of Adam faith, that was a awesome song

And Roger Miller King Of The Road was my late Aunt's theme song, so even still we play it all family events.

One of my other favs thanks to my aunt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-wJNpWgss8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG-8uZg2uV0&feature=related


Sorry to say I was never a Frank/Nancy fan though. Bur I did own a pair of white boots

Gosh, have more to add but we have a graduation party to go to so will end for now.

Who knew was that talented

Final Countdown with Cello




YMCA

In the Navy by the Muppets


These are all fun to listen to


Edit to add this one. In case you missed it here is 7 year old Rhema singing Amazing Grace. She is Christian singer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=PIQl6y...feature=related
The Prayer

Her singing is awesome......I bet as her voice matures she will just blow everyone away.

This post has been edited by texkit1 on Jul 31 2010, 03:39 PM

I have a lot of the songs on my iPod -- Moonriver, What a Wonderful Life, Crazy and the Bee Gee songs.

Never heard of the song Greenfinger but it has a great beat to it.

Caroline -- please post a song or two. I have another you might like if you haven't already come across it. Not true reggae but good beat that makes you bop up and down

Black Eyed Peas -- Let's Get It Started -- believe it or not this song was featured in the Sims game Urbz. Had a few songs of theirs in the game but I found this one to be the best.

More movie music

Malcolm McLaren -- About Her -- from Kill Bill Vol. 2

K-Ci & JoJo -- Crazy -- another one from Save the Last Dance

Mary J. Blige & Ludacris -- Grown Woman -- was in the movie Death Race with Jason Statham This song (main lyrics) introduced the girls who paired up with the drivers. worthy scene for the men Me personally -- I like the scene where Statham is doing pull-ups with no shirt on

My first crush The Monkees -- A Little Bit You A Little Bit Me -- need I say more?

Echo & The Bunnymen -- as you know this is a Doors song but this version was made for the Lost Boys soundtrack and I think it quite good.

Lastly -- Placebo -- Running Up That Hill -- this song has been used a lot but I heard it on Bones a couple of times. Very haunting and can get to you if your mood is down.

Just for Fun --

Tom Jones -- Sexbomb (Peppermint Remix) -- bit of a remix I came across and liked it.

George Michael -- Monkey -- Do you love your monkey or do you love me?!?!?!?!?

Wilson Pickett -- Mustang Sally --

Grease - Frank Valli --


Enjoy!

Florence and the Machine - this song always caught me as they used it to advertise Grey's Anatomy series 5

and they used this for an earlier season, loved this too Snow Patrol

Okay on a more serious note, my RIP section

And first and foremost - Billie Jean

Rock my World - although a lot of people didn't like this I thought it was okay

Smooth Criminal


Creep
No Scrub
Try Again featuring the Asian Dude - theme song from the film Romeo must die
More than a Woman

both departed Luther and Gregory There's nothing better than love
Practice What You Preach

Changing up now - this the reggae version of Practice What You Preach

and a couple more songs for you Andrea - ragga style On and On and this Aswad Song went to no.1 in the British Charts Don't Turn Around
Stick by Me

Right backing up to the catch up (sorry I got a bit carried away there). for Sponge Bob. Not so keen on the cello version, but it is clever.

Love Patsy Cline, knew it was only a matter of time before she got a place here. Jon Bon Jovi, just looks so hot in that video (is he in the hunks thread?).

Like in the Navy by the muppets Susan and YMCA wow takes me back some.

Rhema has such a lovely voice, perhaps she will be the next Christina as she also sang really well as a young child.

Andrea I loved the film Save the Last Dance and a lot of the music from it.
Also like Black Eyed Peas (well some of their music anyway) and some of your selection brought back both good and bad memories. tom Jones Sex Bomb (wow) that's all I can say The monkees, I used to love their program, but it so long ago and not so much a fan of George Michael but love this song Careless Whisper As for Grease, saw that film about 6 times in the Cinema and don't know how many times more since. I have it both on video and DVD. and Wilson Pickett where did you dig that up from?

Eileen quite forgot about Sister Act 1 and 2 when going through the films, thought the music from both was good, but here are 2 that I liked I will Follow HimOh Happy Day Well I hope I didn't miss any and now I will return the thread to you as I think I overdid it just a little bit

This post has been edited by Crocus3 on Aug 2 2010, 06:20 PM

Thanks for the reggae music. I forgot how talented Aaliyah was. That was Jason Lee I believe -- very hot martial arts actor. I liked TLC too but not a fan of Barry White.

Believe it or not that song was in Miss Congeniality -- when Gracie came out of the hanger after her make over that song was played. LoL

I like Careless Whisper a lot but this is my favorite from Wham Last Christmas

Hope the memories weren't too bad Caroline but I'm glad you enjoyed most of the songs I posted.

Lastly for the Twilight fans Bella's Lullaby

Jet Li Andrea. I only call him the Asian Dude cos that is what Susan named him. I think he's hot too, well I think most of his action is great. Yeah last christmas is okay, but careless whisper is still my fav.

Are you talking barry white was in Miss Congeniality.

No the memories weren't too bad Andrea. Tom Jones just really isn't my thing, except for 'it's not unusual'. Not really what I would call a sexbomb

Now it's my turn to overdo Have to add that I am finding so much great new music here...and then following links to other stuff...loving this thread

Rhema: awesome voice for a little girl and a sad history losing her mother so young

K-Ci & JoJo: loved the song and found a few more I liked as well

Monkees: Have liked them from the beginning and still never get tired of them:
Pleasant Valley Sunday one of my favs

Echo & The Bunnymen: Like that version of the song

Chasing Cars: Snow Patrol: I knew the song but never knew the name so I discovered something new

Luther: What can I say...sexy as heck voice and gone way too soon
Here and Now
Always and Forever
The Impossible Dream


Oh, and on the lighter side, not a big Tom Jones fan but it brings up these:
The Carlton Dance
and this one that Bryan and Sean and other danced to at his wedding
Jump On It


Gosh, so many more for another time.

-- right Jet Li -- I knew there was a "lee" in there somewhere. Thanks Caroline!

I don't remember Barry White in that movie but a Tom Jones song was. I checked the soundtrack on amazon and Los Lobos sang Mustang Sally in the movie. I do remember Barry White being played in Blast from the Past though. As I said -- not a fan of Mr. White so I could have blocked it from my memory.

Those dances were really funny. I never watched Fresh Prince regularly so I never saw those two scenes. Thanks for sharing!

That's good Caroline. I know what you mean about not liking the singer/group. Everytime I hear a Kings of Leon song -- do not like them at all.

Not a fan of Luther either Very talented song writer and had a great voice but just his songs just didn't do it for me.

Cool -- hope you can post more songs later Eileen. I know I wrote a few down myself to check for next time I am on iTunes.

Misunderstanding. I was asking what song was in Miss Congeniality because you said I don't like Barry White and then went on to say Believe it or not that song was in Miss Congeniality, so I was confused as I didn't know what song you were talking about.

Yes Eileen Luther was good

Anyone who had a heart Another one I like to hear Luther singing and this one Really didn't mean it

Eileen the Carlton Dance (too funny).

who was the other? was that you?

Feel another misunderstanding coming on What's good....?

This post has been edited by Crocus3 on Aug 4 2010, 01:26 PM

Oh my gosh a lot to listen to.....still listening

Luther is great

Asia dude is fun to watch in The Forbidden Kingdom as the Monkey King Monkey Fighting

The Monkees I'm a Believer

Jones can be fun...sorta like a guilty pleasure

I remember the Calton dance


Y'all have forgotten the one and only Neil Diamond

Sweet Caroline
Song Sung Blue

I went to see Luther in concert, and OMG it was one of the best shows ever. The man knew how to entertain.

And yes, I was one of the many others dancing to Jump On It...we had a blast even though we all looked silly

Neil Diamond has had a rebirth with this generation and Sweet Caroline. It was one of the songs at Bryan's wedding and is participatory by the audience, plus they did it on Glee

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTKP15Q8qSM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bro1uLtlMxs


And I leave you with some Chris Isaak

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oaHHrNQVrg

Wicked Game, good one ..........steamy video

Now time for a little Bryan Adams


I also love listening to silly songs......so here is a few

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGoWtY_h4xo&NR=1 - Sims version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REHV8LERhPw&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k23BOTyQhcY


I do love Rocky Horror

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_jzsWofTY4

http://www.flixster.com/movie/the-rocky-ho...vestite-4312470 only as Tim Curry can sing it

I really must slow down when typing or lay off the when posting stuff. Going back over my posts I realized that I didn't type out the entire sentence I wanted in the 2nd one plus I jumped around and didn't catch it in my other post Sorry about that Caroline

Caroline I meant -- I was glad that the memories weren't bad memories (if you know what I mean). What I get for not reading my posts a third time which I usually do to avoid confusing people.

I love the Ding-A-Ling song. Also, love Wicked Game too -- keep forgetting to load it onto my iPod. Have to remember to do that this weekend.

My favorite Bryan Adams song is this one -- Bryan Adams -- Have you really ever loved a woman

I bet everyone looked silly dancing to that tune Eileen.

Neil Diamond is okay but I prefer Barry Manilow myself -- Barry Manilow -- Copacabana

I that Bryan Adams song...and even though the Robin Hood movie gets made fun of I really liked it.

Susan, your first link for silly songs is still Bryan Adams

God, haven't heard Ding-a-Ling in ages. I remember when we were kids singing that for a whole summer And from around the same time I loved this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEEy615Jzg4


Rocky Horror is awesome...Tim Curry rocked that role.

I actually have to admit to owning 2 Barry Manilow albums also. I liked his song Mandy.

I did it on purpose it case you missed the first link and because I really like Bryan Adams.

The right link is Here


Bryan Adams Sims 2



Gimme Dat Ding

Saw this videol while I was listing to Gimme Dat Ding. I always liked this song Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

Here I thought I was the only Barry Manilow fan here. He gave a really great concert. I still didn't care for Copacabana even live. Just thought it was a little too over the top....maybe it was Barry Manilow's shirt.
Mandy


Oh the other group I love are the Carpenters
We've Only Just Begun


Listening to the Carpenters made me think of this song. Which is very special to me. We had it sung at our wedding Here
There is also a really a nice version of this by Captain and Tennille Here

That was neat listening to the bikini song with the Sims video. I like the Carpenters as well -- very talented and shame that she died so young.

I like the bugle song as well. Makes you want to dance.

This is my favorite silly song Hello Muddah

not the only Manilow fan. I like Mandy a lot but they played it a bit too much so I got tired fo it.

Any song with my name in the title, has got to be good like the Glee version too

Glad you liked Asian Dude in Forbidden Kingdom Susan and I'm a believer is my favourite Monkees song.

Love Bryan Adams, like this song with Mel C When You're Gone

Chuck Berry - real funny song, takes me back

The Rocky Horror Show looks good, I never watched it, used to avoid it, but maybe if I see it somewhere I will watch it now. Have always liked Tim Curry.

I guess I draw the line at Barry Manilow, yes he is talented, but not my cup of tea (sorry).

I think the Sims videos are cool, which I had the patience to do something like that.

You are all finding some interesting old music like Gimme Dat Ting, had forgotten about some of those songs. Hello Muddah, hello faddah, love it still

Leaving on a Jet Plane, my favourite Peter, Paul and Mary.

one of my favourite carpenters Mr Postman

Here's another old one I like Do Wah Diddy and this Into Something Good

Moving on a few decades

Love this video Backstreet's back and this one Girlfriend

One of my favourite En Vogue Don't Let Go

Like this taken from the soundtrack of the Beach, one of our British Groups All Saints - Pure Shores

Not ignoring...just popping in real quick as today is yardwork and pool cleaning day and Jim is .



I'll be back.....................with songs

Gosh Caroline, I love Herman's Hermits

That Backstreet Boys video was awesome


I miss the days of simple catchy tunes like Doo Wah Diddy

Puff The magic Dragon
If I Had A Hammer
and
Where have All The Flowers Gone?


A little more recent:

Apologize - Timbaland featuring One Republic

Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me

Christina Aguilera - Hurt

Rihanna - Take A Bow
Rihanna feat JayZ - Umbrella

And someone I swore I would always

surprise! Adult Content

This post has been edited by irisheyz on Aug 11 2010, 11:00 AM

Your surprise was way too much rap for me


I love Peter Paul & Mary. When I would sing to my kids as babies, I would always sing their songs.


Speaking of my kids, when they were little they loved Backstreet boys. My son's favorite was this here sooooooo only like listening to it because it brings back memories of my kids at 3 & 2 dancing to it. Of course you can't forget this dance song here


On America's Got Talent Here

I agree with you Eileen.......miss those simple catchy songs also. It is nice to be able to listen to them online.

Jim Carrey does Ice Ice Baby...I had never seen this Here


Fun to watch Evolution of Dance

Jackie Evancho is amazing. I first heard her voice from another room and swore it was an adult woman. But if you check out other videos of her she has been amazing since a young age.

I skimmed the thread and it looks like you have some interesting music in here. I wanted to share a few videos of songs that I enjoy.

I love certain kinds of electronic music very much. One of my favorites in this genre is Infected Mushroom (These songs are very long just to warn you):

Never Never Land
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STtd1uPh3I4

Dancing With Kadafi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnXVIsMimHY

Albibeno
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goNkktyhN-c

I also love this song by DJ Tiësto (intro takes a couple minutes to get going so you can skip to about 2:30)
Adagio for Strings
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgS8JWNvkoI

I don't know if any of you have played SimCity4, but that has some of the best music I have hever heard in a game. I listen to it while building in TS1 (mute the game music and sounds and just play the songs in Media player)
My absolute favorite song is from the Rush Hour Expansion.
"Floating Population":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMrAgJ8uVI8

All of these songs are fairly long so feel free to skip through them if you don't want to listen to the whole thing!

Hyp!

OK, I have to be honest and say when I saw electronic my first reaction was . But since this is all about expanding my horizons I gave an honest listen and I really enjoyed your choices.

The Infected Mushroom songs were so energetic they made me want to get up and move. They would be perfect for my mp3 player Exercise/Walking playlist.

I actually really enjoyed the Sim City 4 music as well. My hubby used to play that game but I never tried it.

Great choices! Thanks for throwing something different into the mix.

Hey Hypnotiq, welcome to our music thread

yea, we do have an interested selection of music

The music you shared is great. I liked Dancing With Kadafi the best. I like listening to music with no words, just to hear the musical instruments. I like Jazz Spyro Gyra , Big Band sound Glenn Miller, I guess that is another reason I love movies from the 1940's with all that great big band sound. I like Classical Guitar and piano which you can just do a search on youtube and get lots of great different artist. Just listen to an orchestra is great also.

Why does EA give Sims4 better music than the Sims game. Not fair. I always turn down the music in my game when I am creating a Sim, building or decorating. That music can drive you nuts after a while.


Eileen Jim Carrey's version is funny. I think its a big improvement.
Evolution of Dance is cool. The guy was on America's Got Talent the other night when they where showing the most popular youtube videos on the results show.



What is funny about me posting in this thread is that I am not a big music person. I don't have an ipod. My husband and kids do. I have no desire to get one at this time. I'm a movie buff person. I will listen to music but usually I listen to a few song at a time. Only listen to radio when I am in the car with Steve. Steve is the music person. He knows artist, songs and words to all of them. He listens to almost everything. My kids are the same way.

Here are my favorites that I listen to now......
Josh Groban .......and anything else he sings.
For Your Entertainment and Time for Miracles, which is from the movie 2012.

As I posted before, I so love music from movies and if I had to choose what type of music I listen to the most, it is theme songs/music from movies.
I See You



Also like evanescense


Thanks again Hyp for sharing
