She’s Getting Tired Of Her High-Class Toys

For today's playful Song Lyric Sunday theme, I could not think of any songs about toys, so I instead I have chosen a song that mentions toys - "high-class toys". Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" is such a fun, upbeat track with bags of appeal. I love Billy Joel's original track, with lyrics telling the story …

Listening To The Kind Of Music She Doesn’t Like

Apologies for the slight mix up in my scheduling. I misread Jim's post last week - or confused the dates - and ended up with a song about toys ready to go this morning. When I realized late last night, I felt too weary to come up with a new Song Lyric Sunday post. So …

Scream And Shout Like You Can Say What You Want

What seemed like a not so interesting theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday turned out to be rather interesting after all. (All is forgiven Simon Cowell). I had no idea that the likes of Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Hudson tried their hand at a television talent show. I have opted to feature Jennifer Hudson, as …

Classic Like Elizabeth Taylor

Jim's choice of theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday has given me the chance to feature a song that kept on popping up invited whenever I was using my laptop (I really do not understand all these algo rhythms). However, I am ever so glad that RAYE kept on appearing. Her song "Worth It" has …

I Knew You Were Waiting

When I saw Jim had asked us to feature duets by popular performers for today's Song Lyric Sunday I knew I wanted to feature one of the best duets in music chart history - yes, I really do think Aretha and George did something extraordinary in the form of their legendary track "I Knew You …

Like The Fire In My Blood

Sometimes when I see the theme Jim has selected for Song Lyric Sunday, a first instinct song flashes into my mind. There are occasions when I have fought that impulse, and deliberated a selection of less obvious tracks that qualify. However, this week I am going with the lyrics that immediately popped into my head. …

On A Cold Dark Winter’s Night

Winter is over...however, Jim has asked us to feature songs celebrating the cold for this week's Song Lyric Sunday. We can do this. There are a lot of songs that mention the cold. My pick from the long list I compiled is from REO Speedwagon. This is "Can't Fight This Feeling". I am sure I …

I’m Just Ken (And I’m Enough) And I’m Great At Doing Stuff

Jim is taking us to the cinema for this week's Song Lyric Sunday. When I think of music from the movies, I think of some rather magnificent orchestral masterpieces. Who does not find themselves even a little excited when they hear ever so familiar tunes like "Star Wars", "The Magnificent Seven" or "Indiana Jones". But …

Daddy, Do You Not Care?

Jim has asked us to think of songs about family for today's Song Lyric Sunday. Wonderful theme - and a host of emotive songs that are perfect. Hard to choose just one. The song I picked is from Coldplay. It is called "Daddy"...and this video has a charming animation. It has a haunting simplicity that …

I’m Still Fighting For Peace

I seemed to struggle when it came to finding songs for this week's Song Lyric Sunday. Of course, I could have relied on John Lennon's "Imagine" - but I felt the need to come up with something more clever. Robert says my choice of song is interesting. I have picked a track from the exceptional …
