Make a little birdhouse in your soul

[crazycanuck]

I love the title of this thread A birdhouse in my soul ya say..Cool

"Groove is in the heart" by Deeeee lite. I can't drive too it as i'd probably crash I do a funky dance to it & feel all grooooveeey when i hear it. " I couldn't dance for another..." I can hear it now..

"Counting the beat"by the swingers

"I see red" by Split Enz

I do have one that is really really bad but oh well.. "My own way" by Duran Duran (I'll have to watch Sing Blue Silver tonight)

"The Gambler"Kenny Rogers..I have to turn it up loud & sing along.

Am i showing my age? Many others but i could be here for a few days...

Hey, do you still do dirt?

I love "I See Red". Also "Ninny Knees Up."
Te Awamutu is beautiful in the springtime. Got to see the Finns' parents on the street there (not ON the street, just walking down the street) and again at a music festival watching Tim and Neil from the side.

Went to see TMBG at a bar back when they were just a small time thing, always have liked them. My son had a "triangle man" and "particle man" sweater when he was born that a friend made. Now that he's nearly college aged, he loves their music.

Ah, the 80's and 90's. Life was so simple when we were young and stupid.

I must investigate this "I See Red" song. I need to also add Adam and the Ants "Goodie Two Shoes." I think that my love of ska/big band helps, but that song, so happy, so good. I played trombone for a few years, it's my weakness. Oh, and anything from the Dead Milkmen. "B*tchin' Camaro," gotta love it.

Ugh, 8gigs, what was I thinking? Yeah, I've got a lot of music, but I don't want to bring all of it on rides with me. What do people do with those 30gig players? I won one at work, and promptly sold it because right after I bought my truck I finally managed to hit the rocks at the end of my driveway. I guess I could put all my stuff on there, but I'd rather not have to skip past stuff. I like David Bowie, but not sure he needs to come on rides with me.

My old MP3 player, I SWEAR it had a 6th sense and whenever I hit a big hill it would pull up Lo-Fidelity Allstars "Battleflag." Great climbing anthem I tell you!!! Not "wholesome" but it helps every time I hit the 10 and 20% hills to get back to my house.

Oh, I have so many favourites. They tend to rotate as to which is my "get up and yell"-favourite, though. My probably longest-lasting favourite feelgood one is "Walking on sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves, makes me grin just thinking about it
"I'm so excited", Pointer Sisters. Many songs by Louis Armstrong that just make me go all goofy-happy - "Hellzapoppin'" for example. I'm easily moved by music so listening to "downers" can be a bit hazardous. "Footloose" is good, haven't heard that one for a long time! "Atomic", "War child" and "Dreaming" by Blondie had me blissful on my bike for the longest time when I re-discovered them. Ditto "Kiss" by Tom Jones - terrific on climbs "Jungleland", Simple Minds. "Somebody bring me some water", Melissa Etheridge. "Electric co" and "I will follow", U2, concert version. "Ballroom Blitz", Sweet. "White wedding", Billy Idol.

Right now: "Let my people go-go" and "Big fat blonde" by Rainmakers are making me bounce around on my bike. And I just copied some new music to my player from a friend: "The new ****" (or something like that) Marilyn Manson, had me sprinting my heart out when I went running the other day. Which is nothing short of a small miracle.

I looooove the title of this thread. That'll be todays motto, I think. Build a birdhouse and invite the birdies in!
