Day 9 - 🛸

Space Girl - Shirley Collins

My mama told me
I should never venture into space
But I did, I did, I did
She said no Terran girl
Could trust the Martian race
But I did, I did, I did

I Ain't Marching Anymore - Phil Ochs

It's always the old to lead us to the wars
It's always the young to fall
Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
Tell me is it worth it all?

Did you know this @asimongardner.bsky.social ? @morrisseyisokbyme.bsky.social ?

Fab trivia 😁👏👏👏
Watching Father Ted’s a Christmassy Ted and remembered this nugget of pop trivia, the priest with the most boring voice Father Fitzgerald (Sean Barrett) in Ireland's largest lingeree section was the cover star of The Smith's single "How Soon is Now" a still from the 1958 film "Dunkirk".

Scales = Libra which reminded me of Charles and his sightly concerning views about women 😳

Libra and my name is Charles
Now I like a woman that's quiet
A woman who carries herself like Miss Universe

It’s been a fabulous November challenge. Thanks so much to everyone who has taken part and shared such inspired choices

I’m with Kate though and I’m pretty confident December Will Be Magic Again (what with Bing Crosby singing White Christmas) 👍😊

Day 29

Really struggled to pick a favourite one for today! I’m going with the one (in the hope @arqandtheclouds.bsky.social comes good on The Wombles! 🤞😁) I just love its mood 😎

Stardust – David Essex

But he’s the leader of the band
He’s a lonely man

Day 28

There’s a story in Joe Jackson’s memoir of how he worked as a jobbing musician at the Playboy Club in Portsmouth to raise money to make his demos. He had to wear a suit! It reminds me of this song.

Al Bowlly was a British crooner/guitarist who was killed by a German bomb in 1942. I’ve posted this before but it’s worth hearing again 🥰

Another example of artists referencing their own music in a joyous song that recognises the value and enjoyment of dumb entertainment 😊

Day 20

BA Robertson - Kool In The Kaftan (Referencing Scott McKenzie of hippy fame)

I'm into Scott McKenzie
In San Francisco
That is where he can be found
I don't mean to offend thee
But San Francisco has its faults

Maybe it is truly underground

The Dead Milkmen - Punk Rock Girl

And someone played a Beach Boys song
On the jukebox
It was "'California Dreamin'"
So, we started screamin'
"On such a winter's day"

And also "If you don't got Mojo Nixon
Then your store could use some fixin'"

Let 'Em In - Wings

Sister Suzy, brother John
Martin Luther, Phil and Don

Phil and Don Everly (obvs!) ‘Let 'Em In’ is a tribute to various people in Paul McCartney's life, and mentioning them was a nod to their musical impact on him.
