Eurovision Song Contest

Awww Mondays hosted by Sandee from Comedy Plus.

For John’s final theme week for this month on the Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me, he’s asking us to pay tribute in song to the 65th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest. You’ll find all the winners here from 1956-2019. I was surprised by the handful of singers I knew by name Lulu (1969), ABBA (1974), Bucks Fizz (1981), Celine Dion (1988), & Katrina and the Waves (1997). I’m sure there are others I’ll discover that I know when I sample their music but today I’m going to feature the winner of the 1976 Eurovision contest with Save Your Kisses For Me. A band I feel like I’ve heard and yet I can’t say with complete certainty. Hit play to sample tunes by Brotherhood of Man!

Brotherhood of Man ’76 Winner playlist tracks: 1. Save Your Kisses For Me 2. Angelo 3. United We Stand 4. Figaro 5. Oh Boy (The Mood I’m In) 6. My Sweet Rosalie 7. Heartbreaker 8. Middle Of The Night 9. People Over The World 10. Beautiful Lover

This month’s honorary co-hostess is John from The Sound of One Hand Typing

This is a mewsic linky party. Every other week we have a suggested mewsic theme (see side menu) to build your song set around and all participants share YouTube or Vimeo videos for our mewsic enthusiasts. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.

I hope you enjoyed Brotherhood of Man. Do you remember this band? If so, what songs other than what’s on today’s line up come to mind? With the approach of summer in clear sight, this means Internet traffic will practically grind to a halt and I may slip into my summer blogging routine to post once a week. I’ll give you the heads up when I know what my plans are, though. Meanwhile, that’s a wrap. Have a boogietastic week! XX, Cathy

Good morning, Kittens and Dawgs! I’m taking life easy in Blogosphere. The holidays are fast approaching and instead of getting stressed about this or that, I’m just going with the flow. Our mewsic theme this week is “One-Hit Wonders from Your High School Days” submitted by today’s Spotlight Dancer, Vandy J from The Testosterone Three and Me. Very cool theme I might say, not that I’m doing a series on this subject or anything.

I graduated in 1980, so my high school years spanned the late 70s. This is currently the decade I’m working on with my #1 One-Hit Wonders series, so I thought I’d pick those one-hit wonders that were a little less known to me, such as my opening song “It Must Be Love” by Alton McClain & Destiny peaking #32 on June 9, 1979 which coincidentally is our wedding date. Yeah, I was a child bride and you can read a little more about it here. Now, stroll down memory lane with my high school years one-hit wonders playlist!

Summer 1976, “Save Your Kisses For Me” Brotherhood of Man, peaked #27
Fall 1977 “Smoke From a Distant Fire” Sanford Townsend Band, peaked #9
Summer 1978 “Dance Across the Floor” Jimmy Bo Horne, peaked #38
Summer 1980 “New Romance” Spider, peaked #39

Some of these one-hit wonders I remember but most I can’t say for sure, except for the #9 charting song. Okay, it’s your turn, what mewsic moves you today?

I invite you to hit the dance floor with my dance partners XmasDolly, Stacy, & Colette!

This is a weekly hop for mewsic enthusiasts regardless if you follow our weekly theme or not if you have mewsic to share then we’re ready to dance with you. Otherwise, I ask that you do not link non-mewsic posts below to boost traffic to your site. You’re welcome to leave your URL in comments with a brief description inviting me to check it out. Thank you!

I invite you hop over to McGuffy’s Reader for more “Sparks” of inspiraiton/encouragement. Let’s make the world a better place, one person at a time beginning with #1!

I pulled together a playlist of Contemporary Christian and Country Artists with songs about blessings/gratitude prior to knowing today’s mewsic theme and instead of ditching it, I decided to share it in this segment. Hey, what can I say, I love mewsic! This is the season of reflection and a time to express gratitude for everything in you life no matter how small or how difficult because we have it better than most. We just need to open our eyes to receive the blessings in all shapes

“We Are Blessed” All Sons & Daughters
“I Could Not Ask For More” Sara Evans
“Blessings” Laura Story
“It’s a Great Day to be Alive” Travis Tritt
“10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)” Matt Redman
“But For The Grace of God” Keith Urban
“Good Good Father” Chris Tomlin
“Live Like You Were Dying” Tim McGraw

I’m chillaxing in Blogosphere with the upcoming holidays. There’s no need to add stress to one’s life. This is a season of blessings and good cheer, so enjoy it – live in the moment! Keep those tunes playing, your body swaying, and I’ll see ya around the cyber block soon! XX, Cathy
