Without realizing who had posted that Antigone Rising song, I was all ready to nudge Siren and point out, "Hey, someone else knows that song!" I'll nudge you anyway just to say hi.
One of my favorite lyrics of all time: I took off my pity party dress and I don't dance no more.

Always a pleasure seeing you, amiga!
Makes me sad, watching that video. I SO wanted to see them live. Missed my chance, it seems. I think Antigone Rising is still a band. But without Cassie on lead vocals, it wouldn't be the same.

OMG, Siren! I had no idea what I was going to hear when I clicked on the link. I'd completely forgot about that song - even the title and name of the group didn't ring a bell until I started listening.
Here's another I liked that came up on the related music list on the "Tighter and Tighter" page: Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James and the Shondells. So very smooth.

Vox, Kristen will be inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame this year. Love her!

Jaye P. Morgan is remembered, if at all, by most people as one of the judges on "The Gong Show". But she made her fame as a singer. Here's her signature tune:

Caught the end of 'Grease' this weekend on television and now it's 'Grease Lightning' stuck on replay. Love the movie and the music but that's my least favorite of the songs.

"Grease" is one of those movies that I can't pass by when channel surfing; I have to stop and watch at least a little bit of it whenever I see it's on. Usually, the song that gets stuck in my head after watching it is "You're the One that I Want". I'm with you, Lola - "Greased Lightning" is my least favorite from the movie.
Right now though, it's "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd - I wonder why radio stations sometimes glom onto an older song, seemingly out of the blue, and play it at nearly the same time everyday. I've heard this song on the drive home from work almost everyday for the past week.

Oh god, sis. Blurry was mine and Mary's "first" song. The CD had just come out when we were hooking up and I remember we were trying to figure out what was going on and how we both weren't sure....she said to me, "I can't do this"... and hung up the phone. I laid awake on the couch the rest of the night and then finally went to Wallyworld at like 6AM, bought two of that CD, and mailed one to her on the way back home. I listened to Blurry about 790 times that next day before I finally called her on the phone. Well, you know, the rest is history--literally. *sigh* Music is an amazing and powerful tool. Thanks for posting the link about RJD...especially at PT's. I hadn't heard. Of course, now "Rainbow In The Dark" has been on rewind in my head for two days now.... Rock on.

I found myself singing this one today in, of all places, the produce department at the supermarket. Yup, picking out some green onions and singing Toni Braxton. Lol! But what a great song. This is one of my top 5, all-time.

Realizing I may be alone here, I like Grease II better.
I agree with you Siren - nice tune! That one might be her best.
It was in a movie a couple days ago and now I can't get it out of my head...

Nice Siren. What brought that one back to mind? I was shopping for a DVD of the old Jennifer Jones/Joseph Cotten movie "Love Letters", which featured that lovely tune (not Nat's version). Here's a youtube tribute someone did to the "Love Letters" movie: Alas, "Love Letters" is not yet available on DVD. But I did find another of my Jennifer Jones favorites, "Since You Went Away". I watch that one every year at Christmastime. By the way, Ms. Jones, who won an Oscar, and was nominated for four more, was an Okie, born in Tulsa. She passed away last year at the age of 90. www.imdb.com/name/nm0428354/Pssst...Joxie.....HERE!

I just learned about Enigma, Step - very cool stuff. My station plays them, and other New Age/Electronica/Ambient artists - just a small part of our very eclectic music mix.
This one's been on my brain recently, to the point that I sang it Saturday night at the Opry in OKC. Anne's version is nice, but I like George Jones' better.

I keep singing, "You can almost taste the hot dogs and french fries they sell...", and then the chorus. Maybe I'm wishing for summer!

I wanna be like you, Siren. How is it that people other than myself can get good songs stuck in their heads? Not saying what's stuck in my head now is a bad song, necessarily...but I don't like it; it's irritatingly repetitive, was put there a couple of days ago by BP, and keeps cropping up in my mind.
Here's "Willow", aka Willow Smith, 10 year old daughter of Will Smith, singing "Whip My Hair"...over and over and over again.

Lol! I can just see you whippin' that hair back. Just remember Xena killing the bad guys in Niklios' cabin in "Destiny" - whipping hair can be a deadly weapon!
Indeed, "Under The Boardwalk" is a great song. But by the 20th singing of "You can almost taste the hot dogs and french fries they sell...", I was sick of it!

Christmas Canon Rock ~ not a great copy but includes the whipping hair. Okay it's more of a toss - it's Siren's fault! She mentioned the hair.

I've always had an affinity for the big band music like "Moonlight Serenade", but while surfing youtube I found this comment on a page for "A String of Pearls".
"In the 70's I found this record at a flea market, my moms fav song. I got it, & said I had a surprise as I walked to the record player. She demanded to know what it was. I said its a surprise, she said if its " String Of Pearls" don't play it. I didnt. She said, I just cant listen to it. I NEVER saw her listen to it. When I hear the song today, I wonder what memories it held. So personal, so private.. My dad? An event? Or just the best time of ones life forever gone. Oh, the power of music!"

That's a great little story, Stepper - kinda sweet, kinda sad at the same time.
Sorry for your screwed-up mood. Hope it gets brighter as time goes by.
