On My Ipod This Morning

These are the first eight songs I heard on my ipod this morning.  How many do you recognize by the first line of the song?


Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag...

Big ole' Ruby red dress...

In a bar in Toledo...

Headin' out to San Francisco...

Ooooh, let's go riding...

I put my hand on your stocking...

Late weekend night and I'm at the Bojar grill ...

Stand up, you don't have to be afraid...

    5. John Parr "Naughty Naughty"
    6. Kim Mitchell "Lager And Ale"
    7. Kiss "Love It Loud"

    A lot of these are current television commercials ... is your music selection riffs off of songs that were used in commercials?

  2. My "Random Ten" as the old school term was used in the day. (load up your music, hit "random" and play the first top ten - in my case, loading up the music is equals about 10,500 songs ... enjoy)

    1. Procol Harem - "we skip the light fandango ..." (Whiter Shade Of Pale)
    2. Tommy James & The Shondells - "ah, now I don't hardly know her ..." (Crimson & Clover)
    3. Eddie Money - "I was listening to the radio ..." (I Wanna Go Bad)
    4. The Safaris - "as I lie awake ..." (Image Of A Girl)+
    5. Mariah Carey (or it could also be Nilsson) "no I can't forget this evening ..." (Without You) ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY EITHER ARTIST, BTW
    6. Frankie Avalon - "I love my Dinah ..." (Dede Dinah)
    7. Winona Judd - "everywhere I look the sun is shining ..." (Tell Me Why)
    8. Pet Shop Boys - "send me an angel, send me an angel, right now ..." (Send Me An Angel) OK,that one was easy, LOL
    9. Leon Russell - "well, you're showing me a different sign ..." (Lady Blue)
    10. Ricky Nelson - "I seen the snow white mountains of Alaska ..." (A Wonder Like You)

    Sigh ... I haven't listened to these songs in a while, thanks for the intro, Beth!

    Carrie: I do not know 3 of the songs in your list: numbers 4, 6 and 9. I will be checking them out though.

    My ipod has approx. 4000 songs on it. It's the one I bring to work and [mostly] exclusively listen to at work. (It gives J and I about 6 weeks of listening before it starts over). These were truly the first 8 songs of that morning. I have a lot of different types of music spanning 7 decades. It's a crapshoot on what you might hear on there. :)

    P.S. You get an A!

  4. Carrie, have you ever Annie Lennox's version of Whiter Shade Of Pale? It's really very good!

  5. Yes, I've heard it. In fact, I thought I had the song, but it's not there. I did lose a few uploads from 2009 to 2011 (not dates of the song, but dates I uploaded them from E-mule) when I deleted my hard drive by mistake. My backed up CDs where done in 2009, so anything forward was lost (sigh). If you have it, send it by email (please!?!).
