You can thank Rain’s Garden for today’s battle song inspiration. I’m joining her for her weekly art challenge, Supernatural. When I think of supernatural beings, I naturally think of ghosts and with everything going on in our world, I’m reminded one day God will call His children from the grave, then every living person will witness this phenomenal event.
Now that the seed’s planted I knew precisely which song to use, Norman Greenbaum’s 1969 Spirit in the Sky. Secondhandsongs claims there are slightly over 41 cover versions but it was on iTunes I discovered my first artist choice and I’m gonna be honest with you, it’s the band’s name, not necessarily their vocal quality, that reeled me in.
Please listen to Mojo & the boogieman!
As I played my first choice, I noticed YT had some suggested related mewsic videos waiting for me click on and that’s when I found contender number two. Again, the vocals weren’t the reason I found myself drawn to this band, but instead, it was their quirky video.
Please listen to Party Crash Vikings!
The vocals of both groups aren’t bad but I can’t say I would’ve gone with either had it not been for the deciding reasons listed and neither of these artists were among the suggestions on secondhandsongs. This is definitely a different approach to my battle. It’ll be fun to see how this one goes.
I’ve lost track who’s doing the battles now but this is the current list of BoTB players.

The poll closes at noon (EST) on the 21st!

Check back next week same place and time to see if your favorite recording artist is named the winner in this showdown.
Every day is a blessing. Recently I began participating in Brian’s Thankful Thursdays and one of Kat’s writing prompts, List 5 things that bring you joy this week.
- Excellent health. I’ll be 59 in December so if I feel I’m in superior health then that’s reason to give praises to the Man upstairs.
- Love of a good man. DH fills my heart, my life with love. He tenderly offers hugs, kisses, and cuddles me til I fall asleep at night. I believe our love will push us well into our golden years someday.
- A visit with DD#1. No explanation needed, right?
- Plus, we got see our little granddaughter. Again, no explanation needed.
- My overall happiness. Art, mewsic, and cooking are a few of the sources but the other points I touched on are also a part of the recipe for my happiness.
What are you thankful for today?
I’ll be back tomorrow with another RMF song pick and a few Friday Sillies. Stay safe and be healthy, darling friends! X💋X💋, Cathy
