P IS FOR PLEASE

For each letter of the A to Z, I'm going to give you a KEYWORD. You post in the comments a song with that word in the title. I will give you one to start (along with a video). If you like, you can go to YouTube and embed your video in the comments, so that readers can also listen to your song. No repeats and only post one song so that everyone can participate. If you're just brimming with songs, come back in a few days and lay it on me! If you want to see who else is participating in the A to Z click here.

 Before I proceed with the list from yesterday, here's the health update: I'm feeling somewhat better today. Fingers crossed for continued improvement. :)  If you want to vote on Battle of the Bands, go back to M is for Man.

You guys did great with yesterday's word: Over. Here are the songs you thought of with Over in the title:

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, such as pleases, pleased, or pleasing.


If you're a fan of Soundtracks, Andrea over at Maybe it's just me... is doing her A to Z on them. Ironically, I think our posts have a possibility of colliding today. I first discovered this song on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack (notice it's also a "P"). I wore out that cassette tape. The last song on the soundtrack was Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths. The song is a bit blue, but then I tend to be a bit blue, too. So, it works out. As it turned out, about two decades later another movie decided to use this gem (500 Days of Summer). That is the movie featured in the clips set to the song *I still love* featured below. So... drum roll... I present to you.... Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths.




And, this one is for Birgit who loves dancing and movies and has tried valiantly to play along with my Song Game (and has done much better since she's started working her movie knowledge into her strategy here). This was not in the movie 500 Days of Summer, but it was intended to promote the movie... sort of. Anyway, it's awesome and I think she, and other lovers of dance, will like it. Sadly, there is NO connection to the letter "P."


You can comment with a song using or embed the video by copy/pasting the code in the search bar. Thanks for playing along!
