Chick Songs That I Like Singing

[Tom Watson]

Was listening to Joni tonight and singing along to Carey, and it made me think about the chick songs that I like singing to.

Sticking with her for a few, I'd say that, Help Me, is one and that ,Both Sides Now, is another.

Martha and the Vandals (please do not correct this to Vandellas, you clearly do not understand) provides me with, Jimmy Mack, Heat Wave, My Boyfirend's Back, Sweet Darlin'.

Aretha kicks in with, You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman, (don't be embarrassed - I know you sang to it), Chain Of Fools, Respect (yep, that one too, I heard you.)

That funny looking beautiful woman who sang, Girls Just Want To Have Fun. I wish she was still around.

And that little girl who sang about, All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun.

Well, that's it for my feminine side tonight.

I'm going to listen to a little Led Zep to clear my palate.

Regards,

Tom Watson

Phoebe Snow's debut album jumps to mind, Linda Rondstadt's 'Best of' CD and Carly Simons, too, for that matter.

After the Kingston Trio, it is all down hill.

Gard is gone, Shane had a heart attack in 04 and is now retired, and Reynolds also appears to have some serious medical problems.

All that said, the Kingston Trio continues.

Damn near impossible to listen to Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby Mcgee" (and a couple others) without joining in.

Scotch and soda, mud in your eye. Baby, do I feel high, oh, me, oh, my. Do I feel high. Dry martini, jigger of gin. Oh, what a spell you've got me in, oh, my. Do I feel high. People won't believe me. They'll think that I'm just braggin'. But I could feel the way I do and still be on the wagon.

All I need is one of your smiles. Sunshine of your eyes, oh, me, oh, my. Do I feel high.

Ohhh she still is. Immortalized on the Wall/Concert in Berlin doing a bang-up job for Roger Waters.

Time After Time.... True Colours... she's a hottie alright.

No chick sings like Gwen Stefani, although I was amazed by Christine Aguilera's ability at the Grammies. Gwen with Reel Big Fish doing Come On Eileen..... try that on for size.

But Joni's version of Twisted is hard to beat.

...now I think about it.. there are a lot of really good chick-singers I like to bellow along with.... did I mention Joss Stone?

Was this brought on by the dixie Chicks sweeping the Grammies?

Shane's solo performance, the only one by a trio member.

Supposedly Sinatra was asked about covering S&S and indicated Shane had set the mark for that song by which all others would be measured. He declined.

Ay caramba! After reading all the replies, I had to put Thorogood's "Bad To The Bone" on, have a Snickers, and tear out some chest hair.

Except for Bud and Travis. Bud's gone, but Travis Edmonson lives in the Phoenix area (his number's in the book!) and remains friends with Shane.

What a hoot. Now that was not a political ploy by the entertainment industry was it. LOL

[Robatoy]

Maybe not intentionally. But the music industry has always leaned heavily to the left. Problem is, that this time their pot-shots at the right, are right on target. It will take a long time before the conservatives are going to get our good name back.

It's a shame.

OK, now I like that list. And a lot more titles from those ladies, too.

So check out

What Are You Doing For The Rest Of Your Life? by Dusty Springfield. Yup she's still with us, and that is her voice from a live club date that you hear on one of the diamond commercials on TV.

And just about anything by Diane Schuur, but especially "Teach Me Tonight"

As a matter of fact, I hope to be listening to them and others tonight with SO.
