Cool cats like cool music

Make sure you go to this link, and pick out any songs I missed, that are better than the ones I picked, and put them in your comment:

Number 1:

Lively and fun, and silly. I remember hearing it, as an oldie, in 1973.

Number 2:

Wow. Her vocal style, is so smooth, so precise, every note is glorious.

Number 3:

That is a nice, easy to listen to folk song. I like it, but, I do not know how it got so high on the charts.

Number 4:

Oh, yes!

The whole point of this song, is for us all, as we listen, to edge closer and closer, to the edge of our seats, as the song gets towards the end, so we can hear that high note, at almost 2 minutes in, and, at the end. That is the whole point of the song. Seems to me. Classic.

Number 5:

More high notes, but in a fun, easy, falsetto. Truly a fun song.

Number 6:

I do not recall ever hearing this song before.

I do not see why it was so high on the charts.

Number 7:

Okay, this song should be called, “Boogity boogity boogity boogity shoop”

I truly did not know, that the name of the song is, “Pony Time”.

Number 8:

Oh, I love that song! I had no idea it was called, Wheels. Nice. Background music, for living life. fun, lively.

Number 9:

I truly know that song, but I did not know the title, or the artist. Now I know. Nice song.

Number 10:

Seems like a polka! I like polkas. I do remember it, now that I hear it. Nice ending.

Alright, now for my picks, from the other 90 songs, in the top 100.

Remember, I told you, go to the link, and pick out your favorites, and put them in your comment. I skipped so many nice songs. I am lazy, you rescue the rest.

Number 17:

Grand show tune.

Number 18:

Another show tune, but the vocal style, the precise voice, of Connie Francis, wow!

I need to come back, and listen to this one, over and over. Smooth.

Number 19:

That is, truly, the very best break up song, I have ever heard. The song is so much fun, nobody cares about the break up. Just enjoy the music.

Number 33:

A truly fun classic.

Number 41:

Relaxing, peaceful. “Daddy’s home,” is a nice phrase, to the ears of many.

Number 46:

Truly, one of the best of the doo wop songs. Classic. Fun.

Number 49:

Wow. Absolutely, one of the very best rock and roll songs. Lively and fun.

Number 64:

Yes. So smooth, so right, so mellow. So nice.

Number 79:

Okay, you just gotta lose yourself, in this song. No thinking about your troubles, just pure silliness.

Number 86:

Such a powerful, classic, story song. A little over the top, but I certainly grew up with this song.

Number 95:

I like this jazz tune so much, that when I am listening to it, I feel, deep down, that I never need to listen to any other music, any other style, any other song, ever. Just this, over and over. I know, after about ten or twenty times, I would be in the mood for something else, but, in the moment, while immersed in this song, it’s hard to see me wanting anything else.

Well, like I said, go to the link:

Some of you are likely to find something, that you like, that I left out. If so, post it, in your comment.

Hugs.
