Monday's Music Moves Me

Opposite Word Song Titles

August 6, 2023 /
Awww Mondays hosted by Sandee at Comedy Plus

I borrowed today’s theme from Debbie at The Dog Lady’s Den featuring song titles with opposites ie black/white, night/day but not necessarily in the same name and am asking you to build your playlist around this idea. Don’t pull your hair out, just have fun. 😉

In my line up, one song lead to another and soon I had more than a dozen titles.  At the start of each themed song collection, I found a title with opposites in the title followed by individual songs with the featured “opposite” word. 

PLAYLIST: 1. I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down ~Elvis Costello 2. Don’t Bring Me Down ~ELO 3. Down Under ~Men at Work 4. Upside Down ~Jack Johnson 5. Get Down Tonight ~KC & the Sunshine Band 6. Give It Up ~KC 7. Up On The Roof ~The Cover Girls 8. Right Place Wrong Time ~Dr. John 9. Right As Rain ~Daryl Hall 10. Mr. Wrong ~Mary J Blige Ft. Drake 11. Right Place Wrong Time ~Otis Rush 12. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly ~The Danish National Symphony Orchestra 13. Good Lovin’ Gone Bad ~Bad Company 14. Good Times Roll ~The Cars 15. Bad ~Michael Jackson

      Marie,

      I stopped by yesterday and left a comment but I used the name/url sign-in option which I think puts my comments in your spam folder. You might want to keep an eye on things like that. I just went over again and used my Google sign-in which made it immediately visible once I published it. I prefer to not use Google anything when I can. We’ll always be best friends, my dear. Have a boogietastic week!😘

      Joyce,

      Elvis Costello is an artist I’ve only come to enjoy since I started blogging. That’s one of the perks with enjoying this little social outlet, discovering or rediscovering lost music. Thanks for joining the party, my dear!

    This was a very interesting 4M theme but the results can be pretty satisfying. Yes, I love “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” theme and movie. Have a very blessed week.

      Clint Eastwood did a great job in those old films of the man with no name and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is truly an iconic piece of music. Thanks for joining the party, m yf riend!

      Ellen,

      KC and the Sunshine Band not only has fabulous sound but they are so much fun. Every time I hear them know I think of the movie, The In-Laws with Ryan Reynolds, Michael Douglas. That is absolutely a hilarious film! 🤣

    Great playlist. My favorite today was the orchestral cover of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly theme. It was fantastic, especially the vocal artist who did the wahs and the whistling (the choirs were great, too). Loved the encouragement piece at the end, too. Alana ramblinwitham

      Alana,

      The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly is such excellent song and I loved the 80s western series with Clint Eastwood! He’s such a wonderful actor. I’m glad you liked the arrangement I used in my line up. I thought it was really neat, too.

      Willow,

      Men at Work had only a handful of memorable songs but they’ll forever are immortalized in our brains and will always make us think of the 80s. Wouldn’t it be nice to go back in time to those days?

        Men at work were a great group and for those days they were politically, socially and environmentally aware 💜. It would be good if we could go back and change things for the better 💜

    Now this is a fun game. You did really well with your selection. I doubt we’d have got any. But then, alas, we mainly like instrumental works!
    You have a great week, too.
