Music to my Ears (Part 3)...

And now for today's instalment of "WTF is he listening to today?"...

Continuing on E from last time, here we go...

Electric Light Orchestra (Jungle) - Because everybody likes to sing along to this classic.

Elle King (X's and O's) - Raunchy daughter of actor Rob Schneider. Great vocals.

Ellie Goulding (Lights) - Because everyone loves to dance, even through Spar with the headphones on while shopping. Oh wait, that's me...

Elton John (Rocket Man) - One of a handful of his songs I enjoy, and it always reminds me of this meme...


The English Beat (aka The Beat) (Mirror in the Bathroom) - Brilliant Ska tune.

Eric Church ft Lzzy Hale (That's Damn Rock and Roll) - This is Eric's song, but Lzzy, in her usual sexually-charged raunchiness, totally owned him...made him sound like a wuss. Crank it for goosebumps...

Evanescence (My Immortal) - Memories of an ex-wife...even looks a bit like her in this video...(I really fucked up here...nuff sed)...

Everything But The Girl (Missing) - Another memory of earlier-mentioned lover... One would think I had baggage...{face palm}...

Fat Boy Slim (Right here, Right now) - Our anthem track played at full welly on the yacht to Zanzibar, every time we pulled into a port.

Five Finger Death Punch (Wash It All Away) - YT surfing late one night, couple of drinks in the gut, come across this and it's like "HELLLOOOOO"...

Five Finger Death Punch (Digging My Own Grave) - If I could play guitar, I would love to do an acoustic version of this song.

Fleetwood Mac (The Chain) - Because everyone loves a bit of Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie. Too many other FMac tracks could be listed here.

Florence & The Machine (Spectrum) - Great voice and dance rhythm. Crank it...

Freya Ridings (Castles) - As above.

Goldfish (Get Busy Living) - As above, but not so much vocals.

Goo Goo Dolls (Name) - Secretly admiring someone from afar, not wanting to tell anyone her name.

Grand Funk Railroad (We're An American Band) - One of the greatest rock n roll bands, IMO. Loads of their songs on my rock playlist. And let's face it, who doesn't want to be in a rock band? Be honest...

Green Day (American Idiot) - Visions of M prone, naked, on a Mozambican beach in the full moonlight. Not sure where the correlation is there, but that was the song of the time.

Celeste (This is Who I Am) - Can't believe I left this out earlier in the sequence. The title track from the BBC series remake of the old Day of the Jackal movie. Haunting voice. Crank it...

Halestorm (I Miss the Misery) - Lzzy at her raunchiest best. Crank it...

Harry Connick Jr (Forever, For Now) - A smooth crooner and an accomplished actor too.  A song to impress the chicks...

Him (Rip Out The Wings of a Butterfly) - Though why anyone would want to do that is beyond me.

Hinder (Lips of an Angel) - Memories of drunk dialling a beautiful colleague and telling her I would do anything for her. WTF was I thinking? Ok, she was seriously hot...

Hothouse Flowers (Christ Church Bells) - Can almost picture the Irish church, blanketed in thick, cold mist, the peal of the bells distorted by the thick air.

Howard Jones (Like to get to know you well) - Mid-80s New Wave song, probably came out at the peak of the genre.

Wang Chung (Dance Hall Days) - As above. Typical dance track.

Human League (Soundtrack to a Generation) - Possibly their best track, but not their most popular ("Don't You Want Me"). Another typical 80s dance track.

Hurts (Sunday) - Upbeat track, possibly a good dance track after a few drinks.


Aaaaaaaand that's it for today, folks...


Look after yourselves out there, be kind to each other...

LOL.... Weird thing is I can be sitting in the car, or walking through Spar, and come up with all sorts of ideas for a posting. I get home...... Blank. Can't remember WTF I was thinking about... 🤷
