Tunes on Tuesday ~ Lionel Richie
sometimes only the original will do
Following the mashup video of Lionel Richie’s Dancing on the Ceiling I posted this morning, here is the original video.
Please don’t try to do this at karaoke if you can’t dance.

Tunes on Tuesday ~ Madness
Lockdown in England Day 400
It’s been more than a year in lockdown, I recently had a false positive test for COVID-19, and things are really getting to me.
This Madness song says it all.
I like the Jaguar ~ great car, drives like a truck.

a better Jaguar
Songs on Saturday ~ She Makes My Day
all women are beautiful
it just takes the right man to see it
This Robert Palmer track describes how I feel about today. I hope that you have a very special friend in your life too.
Of course, we guys calls cars, boats, and aeroplanes ‘She….’ too.

Songs on Saturday ~ Daytona
twelve wild horses in silver chains
Back in the day, when Chris Rea could still sing and great cars didn’t rely on computers to make them work, Pininfarina designed the Daytona. I would contend one of the 10 best-looking cars ever made.
I’ve been to Daytona Beach, and I even know what Daytona means, but I’ve never driven a Ferrari Daytona, not anywhere. And actually, I’d rather own a Jaguar V12 E-Type, but then I am English and not Californian

Tunes on Tuesday ~ Vanishing Point
high speed means freedom of the soul
The movie Vanishing Point is as far away from a ‘chick flick’ as it’s possible to get ~ the whole thing is just one long car chase with minimal dialogue and a lot of engine noise. What’s not to like?
A 1970 Dodge Challenger is a very cool car indeed.
I’ve driven newer Challengers, and I’ve driven on those roads, but these days Dodge Muscle Cars are emasculated shadows of greater, faster, classics.

anyhow, in the desert I prefer a convertible Mustang
Tunes on Tuesday ~ Satisfaction
some things look better in black and white
While Californians were listening to drug culture bands like Jefferson Airplane, filmed in glorious Technicolor at Woodstock, we English were listening to bands like The Rolling Stones ~ here filmed in grainy monochrome in Ireland. As a matter of fact we English thought everyone in California went around saying; ‘peace and love….’ If you said that here in the sixties you were likely to get smacked.
You decide which is better, The Stones or Jefferson Airplane.
Actually, I prefer The Beatles.
And we say ‘aeroplane…’

Tunes on Tuesday ~ top of the pops
hello guys and gals
Back when I was a kid there was a TV show called Top of the Pops. You were nobody if you weren’t on there. Noted pedophiles who were on TOTP include Jimmy Savile and Rolf Haris. Liked one, didn’t like the other.
So from that era. Or a bit later.
Canned Heat.
I owned a mini.
I dated a girl who wore a mini and platforms.
she was older, and married.

1275 A series
Tunes on Tuesday ~ Dance Moves
being a classic means a lot more than being just old
Some music makes me smile, and some music makes me feel like dancing. This compilation does both.
I’ll bet that you can’t watch this video without wanting to dance.
Or buy an Oldsmobile and turn it into a hot rod.
Please listen watch and listen with nostalgia.

Tunes on Tuesday ~ 1960s TV Dance
there’s nothing sexier than a 1960s TV star ~ maybe
Perhaps I’ve gone overboard on dance compilations today, but being a child of the sixties these clips bring back some memories.
Anyway I can dance a lot better than anyone and everyone in this compilation.
(Except Dick Van Dyke)
