It’s all about trains #music

Posted on September 7, 2014

 

CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO The Andrews Sisters

This week’s theme is, “trains“. If you know a song that’s about trains or has the word train in it, then we want to hear it. Are you ready to boogie? Lace up your blue suede shoes coz it’ time to dance!

In 1991, an all-girl English band covered this 1973 top 10 US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Sorry Bananarama, no one can do Long Train Runnin’ like The Doobie Brothers.

The words from this 1981 US Billboard Hot 100 hit Just a small town girl…livin’ in a lonely world spoke my name when it came out and still does. I think it makes me homesick.  Here’s Journey with Don’t Stop Believin’.

The same year Journey’s top 10 hit was playing on the airwaves, British sensation Sheena Easton popped up on my music radar. She was fresh, pretty, and could sing. She stole the #1 spot on the US Billboard 100 charts in two categories: pop and adult contemporary with Morning Train.

9 To 5 (MORNING TRAIN) Sheena Easton

Thanks Danielle for today’s fun theme. I thought I’d have a difficult time finding my song picks, but my ole pal Google pointed to songs with the word train in the title post and I rolled right down that track list easy-breezy.

Last week’s #BOTB happened to fall on Monday, so y’all know I tied both together neatly into one post. I hope you enjoyed it. What did you think of voting for your favorite band? Anywho, I wanted to give you the tally on which artist won in #BOTB: The Lord’s Prayer.  Who do you think was the clear winner Meade, Como, Richards, Dykes, or Smith? I was torn between Meade and Como. After giving Meade my vote,  the count was a landslide win for Como, folks! I won’t quibble over Como taking the numbers because he did a beautiful job.

Now, it’s time for you to ask us to step out on the dance floor with you. By linking your musical post (all non-music link subject to labeling or removal) URL (not your main blog address) below you are inviting the 4M crew to boogie down to your tunes.

Linky Tools subscription expired. List not available.
 

NOTE: Every other week a Spotlight Dancer is selected from the linky party if you want a chance at it, then don’t forget to add your music post URL.

 

Did you have a good time on the dance floor? I did. Why not show some blog love? Invite your friends to hit the dance floor with the 4M crew now. There’s always room for one more!

On behalf of the lovely Dancing Queen, Marie @XmasDolly, and her Solid Gold dancers ~ Callie, Stacy, Becca, and I thank you for joining us for another week of Monday’s Music Moves Me. Next stop… your place!  What music moves you?

Rules:

1. Grab XmasDolly 4M button here.2. Display it on your blog. 3. Add your favorite YouTube videos.  4. Link your music post URL

FYI: we dance freebie style every other week, and on the off weeks we dance to a chosen theme picked by the previous week Spotlight Dancer. You can find themes posted on XmasDolly’s side menu. That all being said, we aren’t music snobs. As long as you have tunes for us to dance to, then you’re cool!

    Oh I know you’d do well in this one Cathy!
    And I was actually wondering if there was a song with choo choo in it just like that first one Chattanooga choo choo 🙂

    Thanks for rocking.

    Have a fun week!

    Don’t Stop Believin! — no one can resist that song. If you don’t sing along with that awesome hit, I will question your ability to have fun. ha.

    There are so many great songs about trains. The chugga-chugga rhythm lends itself well to music.

    Como deserved the win in your BOTB match.

    Oh boy, Xmas Dolly almost has the same songs as you do…but they’re great ones so it’s okay. I also have one of yours too – “Chatanooga Choo, Choo – only Dorothy Dandridge and the Nicholas Brothers (circa 1940) are singing it. Yikes, it’s sorta hard to think of different songs with trains in them – but that’s what makes it fun, right?

    Hope you have a great week and keep the music playing!

      Yeah, I spotted Dandridge & Nicholas Brothers YouTube video and thought about using it, but what I really wanted was the Andrew Sisters with The Glenn Miller Orchestra because that’s the way I remember them doing it.

      I grew up watching old movies and sometimes the Andrew Sisters would appear in them. I loved listening to them sing! I never tire of these classic sounds from bygone days ago.
