ATF: Touchy/Feely 2

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Feelin’ Alright

Joe Cocker

Seems I've got to have a change of scene

Every night I have the strangest dreams

Imprisoned by the way it could have been

Left here on my own or so it seems

I've got to leave before I start to scream

But someone locked the door and took the key

You’re feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' too good myself

Yes sir

You’re feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' that good myself

Well boy

You sure took me for one big ride

And even now I sit and I wonder why

That when I think of you I start myself to cry

I just can't waste my time

I must keep dry

Gotta stop believing in all your lies

'Cause there's too much to do before I die

Hey

You’re feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' too good myself

Oh no

You’re feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' too good little girl

Don't you get too lost in all I say

Yeah by the time you know

I really felt that way

But that was then and now

You know it's today

I can't get off

So I guess I'm here to stay

'Til someone comes along and take my place

With a different name

Oh

And a different face

You’re feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' that good myself

You’re feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' that good myself

You’re feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' that good myself

Well I'm not feelin' good myself

You’re feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' too good myself

You’re feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' too good myself…

Wanted Dead or Alive

Bon Jovi

It's all the same

Only the names will change

Every day

It seems we're wastin’ away

Another place

Where the faces are so cold

I'd drive all night

Just to get back home

I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted

Dead or alive

Wanted

Dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep

Sometimes it's not for days

And the people I meet

Always go their separate ways

Sometimes you tell the day

By the bottle that you drink

And times when you're alone

All you do is think

I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted

Wanted

Dead or alive

Wanted

Wanted

Dead or alive

Oh

I ride

Yeah

I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted

Wanted

Dead or alive

I walk these streets

A loaded six string on my back

I play for keeps

‘Cause I might not make it back

I’ve been everywhere

Oh yeah

And I'm standin’ tall

I've seen a million faces

And I've rocked them all

Because I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted

Wanted

Dead or alive

You Can’t Always Get What You Want

The Rolling Stones

I saw her today t the reception

A glass of wine In her hand

I knew she would meet her connection

At her feet was a Footloose man

No

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes

You find

You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she was gonna meet her connection

At her feet was a footloose man

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes

Well you might find

You get what you need

And I went down To the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singin’

We're gonna vent our frustration

If we don't

We're gonna blow

A 50-amp fuse

Sing it to me

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes

Well you just might find

You get what you need

Oh baby

Yeah

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

And man did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor

Cherry red

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy

Yeah

And he said one word to me

And that was

Dead

I said to him

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes

You just might find

You get what you need

Oh yes

You get what you need

Yeah

I saw her today at the reception

In her glass was a bleeding man

She was practiced at the art of deception

Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want

Yeah

You can't always get what you want

Eew yeah

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes

You just might find

You just might find

You get what you need

Oh yes

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes

You just might find

You just might find

You get what you need

Oh yes

Come Monday...Duets on ABC

“Come Monday…” is a weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about,  websites, movies, documentaries, television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time.  Be assured that these reviews will be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.”  This is subject to change, however.  In fact, I would be most derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while.  For rants promote change, and change can be good—right?  Therefore, since good is generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).

   
Link: [On ABC News]

First of all, please understand that both my wife and I absolutely love [Kelly Clarkson], which started during the first season of American Idol, which she [won].  Yeah, I know that sounds kinda creepy, but since we are old enough to easily be her parents, it has to be innocent—right?

Anyway, we also love [Jennifer Nettles], who does most of the singing for [Sugarland].  She also knows how to sing a great duet.

Alas, I do not believe that we will be hearing anything like that coming from [Duets].  Well, unless the show gets a whole better than it was in the first episode that aired last Thursday.

No, I cannot point to any one thing as being at the root of the problem, which sounds promising.  On the other hand, I can recall hearing several rather sour notes (both literally and figuratively) throughout the first episode, with not the least of these coming from [John Legend] and [Robin Thicke], which does not bode well for the show at all.

By the way, did you notice something different about that trailer for Duets?  If you didn’t, it had [Lionel Richie] being on show, and he was [replaced by John Legend] before the first episode aired.  Could it be that Richie didn’t want to be part of a train wreck so soon after climbing back to [the top of the charts]?

Of course, I could be wrong.  If you would like to find out, the next episode of Duets is scheduled to air next Thursday, May 31, at 7 p.m. CDT.  My wife and I will not be watching, but you are more than welcome to get back to me on how right I am about the show.

Who Says You Can’t Go Home

Bon Jovi (with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland)

I spent twenty years tryin’ to get out of this place

I was lookin’ for somethin’ I couldn’t replace

I was runnin’ away from the only thing I’ve ever known

And like a blind dog without a bone

I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone

I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold

I’ve been there

Done that

Now I ain’t lookin’ back

On the seeds I’ve sown

Savin’ dimes

Spendin’ too much time on the telephone

Who says you can’t go home

Who says you can’t go home

There’s only one place

That calls me one of their own

Just a hometown boy

Born a rollin’ stone

Who says you can’t go home

Who says you can’t go back

Been all around the world

And as a matter of fact

There’s only one place left

I want to go

Who says you can’t go home

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

I went as far as I could

I tried to find a new face

There isn’t one of the lines

That I would erase

I left a million miles of memories

On that road

Every step I take

I know that I’m not alone

You take the home from the boy

But not the boy from his home

These are my streets

The only life I’ve ever known

Who says you can’t go home

Who says you can’t go home

There’s only one place

That calls me one of their own

Just a hometown boy

Born a rollin’ stone

Who says you can’t go home

Who says you can’t go back

Been all around the world

And as a matter of fact

There’s only one place left

I want to go

Who says you can’t go home

It doesn’t matter where you are

It doesn’t matter where you go

If it’s a million miles away

Or just a mile up the road

Take it in

Take it with you when you go

Who says you can’t go home

Who says you can’t go back

Been all around the world

And as a matter of fact

There’s only one place left

I want to go

Who says you can’t go home

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

Who says you can’t go home

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

Who says you can’t go home

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

Who says you can’t go home
