Buffalo Stance

The song 'Buffalo Stance' came out in 1989, and I thought that it was a really good song to dance to. Neneh Cherry is a Swedish singer-songwriter. She comes from a very musically talented family. Eagle-Eye Cherry, is one of her siblings, who also had a hit song in the U.S., that played a lot on the radio, which I also liked, and I may put it on this site, in the near future, so that you can check it out.
When my kids were little, I would turn the stereo's radio on, and we would dance, whenever the fast songs would play. When this song would play, I remember that we had a lot of fun, when we were dancing to it. When I was a kid, my gram did the same thing with me, and some of her other grandchildren, when we were helping her clean. She was a pretty cool grandmother, who could make cleaning seem like it wasn't a chore. She is never very far from my thoughts.
I hope that you will play this video, even if you have never heard of this song, because it will put you in a good mood, and possibly make you want to get up and dance. Enjoy :)

Toy Soldiers

This song is actually a break up song, but I found myself liking it because I have been through a couple of sad break ups, which actually brought tears to my eyes. I had mistakenly believed that we were on the same page, when it came to our feelings for each other, when in reality, we were not.
I have come to the conclusion that we are put on this earth to live and learn through our mistakes, and that if we find ourselves in a relationship, where the love chemistry isn't really there, then we start to learn that there is no place for the relationship to go, except down hill, without it.
Being married to the wrong person for 21 years, turned out to be a devastating disaster for me and my children, because as the years went by, it slowly emerged that the ex and I had very little, if anything in common, which he had kept hidden from me, because my ex pretended to like the same things that I did, for a long time, but then one day he finally told me to turn down my head banging music, because he didn't like it. It wasn't even that bad really, but it helped me to see, what a farce of a marriage I had actually been experiencing. I chose to stick it out until my youngest child turned 18 regardless, by putting my feelings aside, so that I wouldn't have to put my two children through a court battle, which could have possibly been devastating for them to deal with.
With that said, I am happy to report that the current relationship I have been in, for a little over 5 years, has the right kind of love chemistry, and we really do like the same things as each other, so three cheers: WOO WHO! WOO WHO! WOO WHO! are in order.



Have you ever been in a relationship that didn't work out because one of you pretended to be like the other person?

Wishing Well

This song is one of the cool, different sounding songs, that came out, in the late 80's. I thought that Terence Trent D'Arby, was very refreshing to listen to.
When I first saw the video for this song, I was like, cool he can do the split, although I can imagine it would be a painful thing to do, when you are a guy, but since I am obviously, not a guy, I really wouldn't know for sure, if it does hurt.
Okay, enough about that. Enjoy the video.

Remake Of A Classic Song

This song was popular back in the 70's, when it was originally sang by Bill Wither's, but when Club Nouveau, did a remake of it, the song climbed to #1, on the U.S. Charts.
I believe that it did well, mostly because they put their own spin on it, which was to amp up the beat, and to change the back round music, to sound more like reggae music, which originated from Jamaica, back in the 60's. This musical formula definitely was what this song needed for it to be able to climb up the billboard charts, back in the 80's, when the original music had more of a 70's milder sound to it.
I think that this song is worth listening to because it has an up beat sound, which will put you in a better mood, every time you listen to it. I hope that you will take the time to listen to this song again, because even though the video is not of high quality, the dancing parts are pretty cool, because it shows how people danced in earlier decades.

Where Do The Children Go?

This is one of my favorite songs from The Hooters. The lyrics are serious and thought provoking, with the soothing sounds of a ukelele. I also thought that the dark haired guy looked kind of hot at that time :), who cares what his name is LOL !!! Okay, his name is Eric Bazilian. He is much older now, so some of the hotness disappeared, but since I chose a video from the past, all is well...



Are you a fan of the Hooters, if so, what is your favorite song?

And She Was

I am a big fan of the Talking Heads, and this song was one of my favorites from them. It is New Wave music at its best. I use to think of David Byrne's music, as being very close to Alternative music.
David Byrne is very talented and imaginative, so that his songs bring on new meaning to what one might think is the true meaning of the songs that he writes.
According to David Byrne, he wrote this song because of a girl he knew, who use to take LSD, in a field next to a Yoo-hoo beverage factory in Baltimore, Maryland. This song reached #54 on the U.S. billboard hot 100 chart, and #17 on the British single chart in 1985.

Black Or White

This is the full version of this video. Most people are familiar with the shorter version, but as a tribute to Michael Jackson, and for his contribution of his musical talents, and video directing, to the world, I felt like it was the right thing to do.
Although I am not a fan of his crotch grabbing, when he dances, I do think that he has inspired many, with his other dance moves, and it saddened me, when I heard that he had died, just before he was planning a come back tour.
He was a man who believed in peace and love. He dreamed about saving the world, from all of the bad things, which are being done to it, on a daily basis. I hope that many will carry on his dream, so that we can all live peacefully, one day soon, in the near future. No wars, no famine, no racial divides.
