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.
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.
