Many songs to choose from with this key word. Again I'll offer a Canadian artist who is another one of my favorites--Bruce Cockburn with "Night Train".

Well, my first instinct was to go with 'RAINY NIGHT IN GEORGIA', but since Lee posted a song called 'Night Train' just above me, I figured I'd keep that same title on the train's track and go with...

This guy is one of my all time favorites (long before Somebody I Used to Know got blown way out of proportion) and this just so happens to be one of my favorites from him.
ReplyDeleteA lot numb nuts think it's about a gay guy ("You'll always be my favorite boy") but it's a sad tale of a father who used to go on long, therapeutic night drives with his son who, for whatever reason, won't talk to him anymore.

Oh gosh the first song that came into my head was Strangers in the Night sung by Frank Sinatra. Funny thing about the song. In a nearby city, Welland, there was a mayor with the last name of Stranges. Well, he got hooked up with a priest, Father Foley, who taught at my high school. They were taking money from the bingo games held by the school I went to. The 2 of them went ov the river, as we say here, and picked up to hustlers, who robbed them and tied them up naked in a seedy motel. I am not kidding. The priest was always creepy to me and I used to call him Father feel-up. Anyhow that song we ended up singing as...."Stranges, in the night, lock your windows...."😀
ReplyDeleteSince McCarthy added a different "Night Train" song let me add what might be the first with that title. Here it is as interpreted by Bill Black's Combo:

I have a story to go with this one but I'll save it for another time.
Lee
OK, Lee broke the rules!
DeleteAt the top of this post, Robin wrote: >>... "only post one song".
Lee has now posted two "NIGHT TRAIN" songs. And since NOBODY breaks the rules better'n I do, I'm not only going to post a second song, but I'm-a gonna change the keyword from "Night" to "TRAIN"...

POSTSCRIPT:
GIRL WONDER, you clearly have chosen an exceptional 'A To Z' concept when participants can't even restrain themselves from "over-participating"!
LEE, thanks for the Bill Black's Combo posting. You reminded me that I've wanted to buy a CD of his music. When I was a kid, Bill Black's Combo was my Ma's "Music To Do Housework To". I don't think I ever heard Bill Black's Combo without the sound of a vacuum cleaner for accompaniment.
Hell, I probably thought the vacuum cleaner was Bill Black's main musical instrument. Ha!
Ma had two of his albums, "THE UNTOUCHABLE SOUND" and "MOVIN'", but it was the latter she most often put on the record player when she got "in the mood" to play the vacuum cleaner.
This post, WHAT FUN!
Don't tempt me McCarthy! Save the "Train" songs for T.
DeleteI used to think that Bill Black's Combo was the house band at some burlesque theater. It sounds like music to strip to.
Guess that's why I like it.
You want to know ONE MORE funny thing? I was seriously considering changing my keyword for the letter "T" to Train (plus we all seem to have extreme fondness for TRAIN) after you each posted your first songs. But, I'm now thinking I'll keep it the way it is. I mean, who follows the rules anyhow??? ha!
DeleteI hope you do Train songs for "T". There are so many from which to choose. But if you don't do "Train" songs then I'm really curious to see what T will be.

GIRL WONDER, I have no idea what idea YOU were entertaining for "T" songs, but if you were thinking that "T Is For Tom Traubert", then I'm claiming dibs on 'TOM TRAUBERT'S BLUES' by Tom Waits!
DeleteIt truly pains me to agree with Lee when it comes to ANYTHING in the realm of music, but I must agree that I think "T" belongs to "TRAIN'.
I don't know what you were considering, but considering the fact that your all-time favorite music group is TRAIN, and considering that there must be a thousand great-to-good songs with the word "train" in the title, I think you're on a one-way track to oblivion if you don't use "train" as the "T" keyword.
But then again, maybe I just have
train on the brain.
