Robin (yes, me again): She On Fire by TRAIN
I spent most of Thursday in the car. I tried to visit as many blogs as I could before my eyelids betrayed me and insisted on closing. I'll do my best to make the rounds this weekend. So, if I've neglected you, please be patient. I'm working on catching up.
If you posted a Fire song and don't see it here, it came in after I
called it a night. If you can think of more songs from previous letters and WANT to post
them now, feel free to go back and add them:)
It's a new day and a new letter!
What is the KEYWORD?
You can use variations. In this case, girls or even girlfriend.
I present to you.... One Girl Revolution by Superchick.
You can comment with a song using blue or blues or embed the video. Thanks for playing along!
Special thanks to Arlee Bird and the A to Z team who make this possible!
haha, I keep picking videos that can't play on other websites! Trying again. If this doesn't work, I'm giving up. I have two today:
ReplyDeleteBROWN EYED GIRL by Van Morrison
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqXSBe-qMGo&nohtml5=False
BAD GIRLS by Donna Summer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7fRU7i7TK0&nohtml5=False
I KNEW someone would use Brown Eyed Girl, but I had no idea it would be you and the first song out of the gate.
DeleteBad Girls. Wow. That was a flash from the past. I haven't heard that song in forever. ::smile::
I love Van Morrison and since I am a brown-eyed girl, it's always been one of my favorite songs. :)
DeleteI know, Donna Summer, right? wow, where has the time gone?!
Elton John - Island Girl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhad3LnxApg
ReplyDeleteThis is such a happy song. I listen and I smile. Just like magic.
DeleteThis one was tough. There are no girl song by Rush. (They don't write those kinds of songs.) So I had to go with the only rock song I could find, Sour Girl by Stone Temple Pilots. (I could have picked Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crew, but I can't stand that song. My friend and I used to substitute squirrels for girls. Try it - it's funny!)
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxS4lqppZ6Y
YES! I've finally picked a word that contains no Rush songs. I WIN I WIN I WIN. Of course, since I'm running this blog I guess that means I buy my own prize. Still, I WIN.
DeleteI actually liked this song a lot. You might want to think about trying something non-Rush again. You know, just for variety's sake...;)

ReplyDeleteAnd oldy but a goody. Goodbye Girl by David Yates, feature song of the movie with the same title back in teh 70's.
Good song, Liza. Believe it or not, this was new to me!
DeleteGates had another hit (albeit a minor one) with one I liked even better called Silver Lady. But GG will do (It hit #1 on the M10 back in the day.)
DeleteGirl from the North Country as covered by Lions (written and originally performed by Bob Dylan)
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z3QDBsQTsQ
Now I know where some of the lyrics originated that were used in this song...
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BakWVXHSug
Guess Bob Dylan was more influential to Simon and Garfunkel than people may have suspected! That's wild.
DeleteWow! Controversial blast from the past! I haven't thought of MV in forever!

DeleteThis one was hard. But I found one!
ReplyDelete"Dream Girl" by Freakwater
https://youtu.be/PrygXU0yNpc
Well, that was... different. Hahaha. Actually, I rather liked it. I kept thinking, "This is twisted, but I like it." I really don't know what that says about me... :(
DeleteWelcome to the realm of gothic country music.
DeleteThis is because Hank got SO-OOOOO RIPPED OFF in FAE's 'BOTB' contest...
ReplyDelete'I LIKE GIRLS' by Hank Williams, Jr. ("Bocephus")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y1KfHzIN4E
~ D-FensDogG
'Loyal American Underground'
Well, I haven't seen a results post for that battle yet, but I take it Hank didn't do so well...???? That's a shame. I loved his version. Ah well. I rarely vote "right." As in winning.
DeleteAs for this here song, Hank shore ain't particular. He likes girls. He REALLY REALLY REALLY likes girls.
The Girl from Ipanema by Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz.
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/UJkxFhFRFDA
And if you want to use the song for a Battle of the Bands, here's Frank Sinatra's version.
Deletehttps://youtu.be/NldPFVKYmiw
Thanks for both versions. I'll add it to my list. Several of my BoTB friends have used Astrud Gilberto songs in the past, but I don't think this one. I'll double-check that, though.
DeleteMy Girl, The Temptations
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites. :)
DeleteThe movie was wonderful too - a tear-jerker every time. =)
DeleteWasn't there a song called Hey There Lonely Girl??
ReplyDeletecute theme for the A/Z Challenge!

Google says Yes. Google also says that a fellow by the name of Eddie Holman sang it. Google is smart.
DeleteTom Petty and the Heartbreakers, American Girl (for all of the females born in the USA. . .)
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNgt7U9QrFQ
You just can't go wrong with Tom Petty!
DeleteOh, man... I'm late. But this one doesn't seem to have been used yet. Hope it counts, even if GIRL is only the second half of "Supergirl"—but I lovel-love-love this song.
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/31tiWX-8bdc
I'm sure I've heard this song before. Great song! I'm glad you came back:) I like your song contributions!!!
DeleteA Beatles favourite:

Your video won't play in the states. So, for the US listeners...

#AtoZChallenge G is for The Go Go's
Every time I watch them play live, it makes me sad.
DeleteAnd still... thanks for posting.
I can only think of Uptown Girl. This is fun seeing all the song picks.
ReplyDeleteSusan Says

I really like Little Big Town. Good one Cathy!
DeleteRick Springfield - Jessie's Girl
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/qYkbTyHXwbs
Did I ever tell you that Rick Springfield was my first concert experience? Ah, fond memories here.
DeleteWhat doesn't she see in him???? He's been funny and cool with the lines. (Plus he's smokin' hot.) I don't get it either, Rick. I just don't get it.
Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl
ReplyDeleteGlad to have found your blog! Good luck with the A-Z Challenge!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgjkth6BRRY
I know this song doesn't have "Girl" in it, but you threw up Gwen and it made me think of this song (and Miranda).
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UumRkksN-LE
How about "I Enjoy Being A Girl" from the musical "Flower Drum Song" by Rodgers and Hammerstein?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjWn-ueeeLw
That absolutely works. That was so much fun to watch.
DeleteJust a Girl by No doubt
ReplyDeleteThanks Marcy!
DeleteLadies and gentlemen, the Four Seasons!!!!!!!!!!!!
