This song just makes me want to get up and dance along.

I gotta feeling…
That tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good good night
I gotta feeling… (Woohoo)
That tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good good night
Tonight’s [...]

80s throwback time.  Erasure’s Greatest Hits album is a permanent fixture on my iPod playlist.  This is one of my favourites.  Claim to fame:  Milo and I once had a drink at the next table to Andy Bell who was wearing a very large fisherman’s sweater at the Landmark Hotel in London – we were [...]

This woman never seems to look any older!  I love Annie Lennox.

I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
And cry cry cry
I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
And I…
I wish that I [...]

I have nothing to add.  Dedicated to someone special.

You look into my eyes
I go out of my mind
I can’t see anything
Cos this love’s got me blind
I can’t help myself
I can’t break the spell
I can’t even try
I’m in over my head
You got under skin
I got no strength at all
In the state that I’m in
And my knees [...]

This is dedicated to Cockboss – the evillest clown I’ve met.

I dance around this empty house
Tear us down
Throw you out
Screaming down the halls
Spinning all around and now we fall
Pictures framing up the past
Your taunting smirk behind the glass
This museum full of ash
Once a tickle
Now a rash
This used to be a funhouse
But now it’s full of [...]

This just really made me laugh out loud.  If you have cats who get up to all sorts, then you’ll probably find this funny.  If you haven’t then watch the first bit with the bin, then watch at 1:37.  The back legs in the air make me laugh every time.  It’s just the sort of [...]

There are no words to describe this song.  It’s just a beautiful song to make you feel good.

There’s no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard,
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things,
Like a shoebox of photographs,
With [...]

This version of Elbow’s “One Day Like This” gives me goosebumps.  I was given the CD/DVD of their entire Abbey Road set for my birthday and it’s been in my car ever since; the CD will be worn out soon.  I know this is one of mumof4’s favourite songs too.

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in [...]

So I’m a little bit late, but it *is* still Monday.
I’ve recently been introduced to this band by a colleague and I’m hooked.  They remind me of someone from the 1990s but I can’t put my finger on who.  They are from Birmingham, UK, and are called “The Twang” and this is their latest single.
