Mystery, Magic and Mayhem
In our first Friday Dance Party of the new year, I feature one of my favorite Tom Petty tunes. I’m on a Writer’s Retreat this weekend, so this song seems apropos. Hope the New Year finds you runnin’ down your dreams! Enjoy and Happy New Year from The Melting Muse!
It’s been awhile, but I heard this in my Pandora mix this morning and it brought back so many memories. I actually wrote a story from this song way back when. Very Indiana Jones meets The Wolfman. Yeah, I know. You had to be there. Lucky that manuscript got lost somewhere a long the way. LOL
So give it up for Toto and Africa! And as always, Illegtimi non carborundum!
Is it time for a slow dance? Nah, I didn’t think so. Maybe next week. For now, I give you one of my favorite live performances, and, incidentally, one of my personal theme songs! Here’s a little Kenny Loggins for your Friday morning!
I asked fans on my FB page yesterday if anyone had suggestions for today’s Friday Dance Party tune and I got some interesting suggestions. So today you get TWO for the price of ONE! First, something with a nice, funky beat. I give you the Commodores and Brick House. This is a song that my daughter used to dance to when she was three!
And then, from another fan, something a little hipper and wilder. I present for your viewing pleasure The New York Dolls and Dance Like A Monkey! Come on, shake it like a monkey like you just don’t care!
That’s all for today, my friends! Keep it loose and as always,
Illegitimi non carborundum!
Extra Special today! ELO – Mr. Blue Sky! Can’t not dance to this one. Sadly, I couldn’t find a good vid from Guardians of the Galaxy 2 showing Baby Groot shakin’ his groove thang to this tune, but if you’ve seen the movie, you can imagine it. And if you haven’t… Egad, man, what on earth are you waiting for?? Go. Immediately. Stop reading this! Get to a theatre ASAP! Happy Friday!
