OK here goes with another thread. This is for songs you had completely forgotten about. The songs that when you hear them you think to yourself, 'Oh yeah I love that song!'

Some simple rules.

1. You have to have actually heard it -radio, sirius, sound track, all is fine but NO just racking your brains to list a song you haven't heard ina while. (Obviously recking your brains to remember the title or band of the song you just heard is totally acceptable.

2. Video is vastly preferred.

3. If there is a (printable :ROFLMAO: ) story that goes with it so much the better.
 
#1. Heard this this morning - has been decades and I just love it. No story attached but there is a smoothness and subtlety that isn't always there in other Tull tunes.

 
I got to thinking the other day about Dr. Demento (Barry Hansen) who did much to warp my teenage self in the early 1970s in California. That let me to this song, by Felix Figueroa and his Orchestra: “Pico and Sepulveda”. Start the Conga line!

 
Agreed! Dr. Demento shaped many a young mind and in the best ways! Reflecting on Pico and Sepulveda. What fun! Thanks for that.
 
We have Sirius Satallite radio and listen to the Margaritaville station a lot.

This has got to be one of the most evocative songs on the planet and I love it so much.


and for Doc. don't love it quite as much as the original but still an amazing version

 
Here's another one:


Classical Gas by Mason Williams, who, in addition to his nice guitar playing, was a writer on the old Smothers Brothers Show, writing some of the scripts that got them into trouble. In the early 1970s, I saw him play at the Golden Bear, a club in Huntington Beach in the LA area. He was so good! (Bonus points if you remember the fold-out full size poster of the Greyhound bus, included in the album.)

Must agree. The whole 1977 "CSN" album playlist is that way for me. If I could have just one year back, it'd be that one.

And even Jimmy couldn't do that song justice.
 
So today's is a threefer. This showed up on my feed today. Not an oldy but I think musically and lyrically it is very clever.


But as much as I like the original I think Walk off the Earth's video is just fun


But wait there's more - this one appeared (Tom should love it as it is contemporary music :D) Really though, how much fun is this?!

 
I should have known that if anyone was going to bring in music featuring a hurdy gurdy it'd be Tom.

Beautiful singing.
 
Another twofer. We went out for dinner last night and over the course of the drive these both came up.
