Peace Frog performed by The Doors
From the album Morrison Hotel, Peace Frog is a bouncy toe tapping tune encapsulating funky wah wah with jazzy tones and a hint of country.
What I love about this tune is it's ability to make me get up and dance, head bounce toes tap.
Facinating lyrics, quite contradictory in contrast with the merry, whimsicalness of the music.
"There�s blood in the streets� it�s up to my ankles"
However when your dancing around It has little precedence, the organs and drums take you away and the lyrics are gone..... |
| Goodnight Moon performed by Shivaree A blend of Mexican, a sprinkling of country and a dose of Southern soul "Goodnight Moon" is a track off the album "I Ought to Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump" : classy!
When a song hits me - I will play it like it's going out of fashion, or in this case, coming into fashion!
Until four days ago I knew nothing about this band - I happened to be surfing around looking for inspiration and accidently came upon this song, the singer whom I now know as Ambrosia Paisley has a sultry, quirky voice and given to this song makes it feel like It should be played acoustic in some smoky bar with swing doors, and a bar man called Hank offering neat JD's.
Although that's probably not too far from reality it is being played world wide thanks to Mr Tarrantino who has used this track in his movie soundtrack - Kill Bill 2 - which kind of makes sense to me granted that my original search on Google four days ago started with Nancy Sinatra, which I also found out "Bang Bang my baby shot me down" (another recommendation should I add!) was lent to the Kill Bill 1 soundtrack.
Regressing, I do not know if any other tunes on this album are worthy but Goodnight Moon now firmly has a place in the soundtrack to my life. |
