I really thought there would be better audience participation for yesterday's word: Kiss. Not sure if it was a hard word or you guys are simply plum wore out from A to Zing. In any case, here are the songs you thought of with Kiss in the title:
Alex J. Cavanaugh: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2
Rosey (they Robyn): Kiss on my List by Hall and Oates
Holli: Kiss Them For More by Souixsie and the Banshees
Jeffrey: This Kiss by Faith Hill
Mary: Kiss You All Over by Exile
ABFTS: Kiss Me Where It Smells by Bloodhound Gang
Andrea (they Marcy): Kiss by Prince
Michele: The Last Kiss by J. Frank Wilson
Stephen T. McCarthy: The World's A Mess; It's In My Kiss by X
D.G. Hudson: Maria (Shut Up and Kiss Me) by Willie Nelson
LC: Then He Kissed Me by The Crystals
Birgit: Kiss by Marilyn Monroe
Ericka: Kiss Me Deadly by Lita Ford
Robin (yes, me again): And Then You Kissed Me II by The Cardigans (the first was the "feature")
and Kiss This by Aaron Tippin and Shut Up And Kiss Me by Mary Chapin Carpenter
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, loves, loved, loving, lovely. Since I think there are TONS AND TONS AND TONS of these songs, I give you permission to post THREE right off the bat. Go!
I present to you....Love Letter by Bonnie Raitt.
If that didn't make your nerve ends tingle, maybe this will do the trick! I present to you Making Love Out of Nothing At All by Air Supply.
You can comment with a song or embed by copy/pasting the code in the search bar. Thanks for playing along!
Special thanks to Arlee Bird and the A to Z team who make this possible!
GIRL WONDER, I "LOVE" today's keyword of "LOVE".
ReplyDeleteAnd how can you not love a love song by a guy insisting that he's "NOT IN LOVE"?
I give you...
"I'M NOT IN LOVE" by 10cc

And now, what we ALL KNOW is the "REAL TRUTH" about love...

Stephen, you beat me to it! :) I love the 10cc song!
DeleteI added my own 10cc song! LOL
DeleteI didn't think I knew that 10cc song until it started to play. And then, I did. Two excellent anti-love choices.

My Love by Paul McCartney & Wings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx5QxoWCG-I
Feel Like Making Love is one GROOVIN' song. I don't think I'd heard this Paul McCartney song before (although so many of his songs sound similar to me). But, I liked it:)

Bye Bye Love - The Cars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR6GDGoiO8Y
Look at you pulling out the stops. I said three. I got three.
DeleteI knew them all but The Cars song. People all talk about Tina Turner's legs. I'm surprised they never said more about her HAIR.
Three choices??? *insert evil laugh here*
ReplyDelete"A Groovy Kind of Love" by Phil Collins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsC_SARyPzk
"The Carpal Tunnel of Love" by Fall Out Boy (if you've never seen Happy Tree Friends this video will probably be disturbing...)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCV2h1uHx3o
and
"Love Story" by Taylor Swift
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xg3vE8Ie_E
Okay, I love Phil Collins (just about everything he does), so this was a groovy choice for me.
DeleteDidn't love The Carpal Tunnel of Love. That was not influenced by the video, because I heeded your warning and didn't watch it.
Taylor Swift. I like her. I know she gets a bad rap from many people, but I think she's really talented and will be around for a long time. This isn't my favorite song of hers, but I like it.
Love and Affection by Nelson

I love Tesla!! They came to town where I lived awhile back and the tickets were already sold out when I found out they were coming. Big bummer!
DeleteTesla rocks! Saw them live a few years ago and loved it. I wore out my cassette from college days. Lol
DeleteLucky!!! :)
DeleteGirl, listening to your three choices made me feel like I was back in the 80s!
DeleteOne of the few times Rush used that word - Need Some Love.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y9l3of5DS0
I'm learning my Rush songs thanks to you. I liked this one.
DeleteI love you because.... Johnny Cash
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN9WLE8MXF4
This is a sweet song. Thanks Holli.
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrZHPOeOxQQ
ReplyDeleteI have many memories associated with this song. Some are good, some not so much. However, that is not the fault of the song. I think Bon Jovi is an artist who's gotten better with age.... like a fine wine.
DeleteI LOVE that 10cc song - I even remember when it came out! And Higher Love is also one of my faves. But the first song that came to mind was Donna Summer Love to Love You, even tho I don't like it anywhere near as much as the other two. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny the things we remember. We don't have to love a song to remember it. For sure!
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uij5s69iEjs
ReplyDeleteNot heard this before, but I liked it so much I watched it twice. Now I'm gonna add it to the playlist on my phone!
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy4uzNDYFlE
ReplyDeleteMy mind is playing tricks on me. I knew this song, but I was thinking Garth Brooks. Wrong. John Michael Montgomery. Amazing how alike they look in that still picture. I should've known it wasn't Garth. It's darn near impossible to find his music on YouTube.
DeleteSorry I missed yesterday. It was a rough one! :P I did post a K song now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykU8iSKkJR0
I didn't think I knew the first one until I started playing it. Check. Know it!
DeleteThe second one is a song I loved as teenager. Since I started singing karaoke, I like it less and less. Seems like every female who can't actually sing tries to give this one a whirl. Yikes.
Not heard this Bee Gees tune before. The boys sure do look young on that album cover.
Can I cheat and add another one? This is a real "soundtrack of my life" song that I just stumbled across on Youtube: ♥
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB8EZ5Xa_QI&list=RDykU8iSKkJR0&index=26
I really like this song!

Love the first one. Didn't know the second one. And I featured the third one in MY post (see above). You're forgiven for not actually reading my post since you've got a lot on your plate. I'm so glad I read YOUR post before this comment...
Deleteoh snap! for some reason I only saw your first song. I almost went with a different air supply song but at last second tossed this one in. I shoulda known better. Hopefully I will catch tomorrow's post before I leave town for the weekend. It's been a long day, for sure.
DeleteWell, since you're giving me 3 I'm not going to spoil it by giving you 3 crappy 90s songs. That's just plain punishment. I'll give you a break today. You KNOW there are tons of crappy songs with Love in the title. Nsync and Backstreet Boys have about 4 each right out the gate.
ReplyDeleteSo today you get my eccentric young hipster tastes.

I can't believe you've been spamming yes, I said spamming) me with horrendous 90s song when you actually listen to enjoyable music. I would very much appreciate it if you'd continue in this vein and stop smacking me with awful 90s tunes. I revoke the challenge. You win. You've beaten me into compliance.
DeleteYou don't know how happy I am to hear that.
DeleteYou know how YouTube likes to give you suggestions based on what you watch/listen to? Yeah, now that I've been doing half a month of terrible 90s songs my entire suggestion list is now "Do you want to hear Creed?" "Do you want to hear Smash Mouth?" I've only ended up sabotaging myself.
So I'm switching up my challenge, and now I'm making it Indie music you've never heard of that I think you might like. And maybe, just maybe I can reclaim my YouTube suggestions in the name of good taste.
I'll just list 2:

The Mills Brothers!!! I saw the house they grew up in, my grandpa walked me by it, it was his hometown. :) Love that group!!
DeleteI can always count on you for a ride in The Way Back Machine. Thanks!
DeleteCan't Hurry Love - The Supremes
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ7uXX9K7Sk
A classic!
DeleteI'm going to pick my most favorite song with LOVE in the title - Lilian Axe's Show a Little Love. This video came out on Headbanger's Ball when my husband and I were first dating, so the song holds a special place in my heart.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzLLdUoQ7Qk
So glad I hit you in your happy place:)
DeleteStephen T. stole my first choice (Geils), but I snoozed and I loozed.
ReplyDeleteHow about three from Mr. RUndgren?

I love 'Love Is The Answer'.
DeleteWhat a great "Gospel" tune!

I knew I could count on you for this one! However, that means you and Robin have already eliminated my top 2!
DeleteTodd Who?
Delete;)
Exactly...Todd Who?
DeleteI'm sooo happy no one has posted this one—especially since I'm so late :D
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/h3Yrhv33Zb8
It's a bit long, but the first thing I thought of when I saw you posted this one was the TV show Grey's Anatomy. They used the elevator so well it could be an "art form." This video is rather long, but it's only the tip of the love in an elevator moments.
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHyZV2fb1UM
Well, since you and Larry took my top ones, here's one outta left field...
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG1GiOTC75M
Well, that's what happens when you don't arrive here at the buttcrack of dawn. ;)
DeleteOK, I'll post a third one, because it just so happens that earlier today I purchased the album this song comes from ('HAIR OF THE DOG') and because the song is in keeping with the theme I've established here.

Your words are getting very sappy, I must say. :P
ReplyDeleteNot one of my favs by this band, but the band is freaking amazing so:
"Talk About Love" by The Curst Sons
https://youtu.be/JOsJGTYi_O4
I think the sappy is over for a while now that we've knocked this one out.
DeleteI dare say you have an interesting record collection. I'm not sure I've been familiar with a single artist you've posted. Not saying that is a bad thing as I like to have my musical vocabulary expanded...
I cannot function without music and everything on the radio is rubbish, so I have searched far and wide for decent music. Spotify helps. :)
DeleteStrange Love by Depeche Mode.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIrm0dHbCDU
A while back a fellow blogger turned me onto this family (in South America?) who make covers of Depeche Mode songs. I think the videos are very clever with their use of every day items to recreate the sounds. The kids get more involved in each song as they get older (which is also fun to watch). I'm not sure that this is my favorite cover of theirs, but it's the song you chose, so...
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk2ZrS0ZS6g
Okay, hopefully this one makes up for my faux paus.

Who doesn't like some tainted love???
DeleteI used to love that song by the Nelson Brothers. I think my favorite song with "Love" in the title is What's Love got to do with it" by Tina Turner, as mentioned above!
ReplyDeleteIt's just great to have you back in the blogosphere, my friend!
