#SongoftheDay Ordinary Pain (Stevie Wonder, Shirley Brewer)

Image
Spent last night throwing up thanks to one of my medications. Today I'm eating rice and drinking Gatorade. My head hurts. My eyes feel like someone's sticking a thousand needles into them again and again. That's all I've really got for you.

#SongoftheDay Play That Funky Music (Wild Cherry)

Image
When we got home from the jazz festival, I asked my partner what was his favourite thing we saw or heard there. He surprised me by saying it was this song. I should have known, because I could hear him singing along and you know he rarely sings.

#SongoftheDay Brick House (Lionel Richie)

Image
I love telling you tales of my own stupidity, so here's another one: I have heard this song many, many times in my life and until last night I always misheard the "shake it down" part. I always thought they were sinking "Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan now." And I often did think to myself, "Wow, The Commodores must have really liked Chaka Khan." In fact, I must have assumed the song was about Chaka Khan. But it wasn't something I gave my attention to. This was all just happening in the back of my brain. Well, my partner and I went to the Beaches Jazz Festival last night and we listened to the same funk bank I've heard sing this song ten time. Maybe more? But the band had a new vocalist this year, plus I was standing in the front row, so when she started singing "Shake it down," I was like ohhhhh... SHAKE IT DOWN. Not Chaka Khan. We've already listened to the original version of this song, so today we are listening to Lionel Richie...

#SongoftheDay Got To Give It Up (Marvin Gaye)

Image
I've been doing disco dancing workout videos on YouTube lately and this song plays during one of them. It was the only song in the bunch that I couldn't identify. I would try to listen for lyrics, but I couldn't make any of them out. I asked my partner if he knew the song, but he didn't. I tried to ask the robots that live with us, but they were not helpful. It was a days-long mystery. Finally, I listened to the workout video with headphones and was instantly able to pick out a line, which I plugged into Google. Google immediately knew those words were from this song. The mystery is solved.  I would never have guessed I was listening to Marvin Gaye.

#SongoftheDay Virtual Insanity (Jamiroquai)

Image
Want to see anxiety in action? Well, look this way, because I'm having a full-day freak-out, over here. I can't remember if I was telling you this, or if I only told my newsletter subscribers, but my partner's health has been declining since he started testing NEGATIVE for Covid. So, basically, when he should have been getting better, he was actually getting worse. Yesterday, I wondered out loud if maybe he'd developed pneumonia. Later that day he talked to his sister-in-law (a retired nurse) on the phone. He didn't mention what I'd said, and, umprompted, she expressed concern that he might have pneumonia. She told him to see a medical professional right away. Last night, we called telehealth. He got a great nurse on the phone, and after he'd explained his symptoms, she told him to go to the emergency room. Immediately. Well, he didn't want to go right away and, considering I waited a week to go to the ER the last time I had chest pains, I was in no ...

#SongoftheDay Shaft (Isaac Hayes)

Image
You probably heard that Richard Roundtree, the actor who played Shaft, died the other day. I've lost track of how many times I've listened to Isaac Hayes' theme from the film since I heard the news. Hard to believe Isaac Hayes himself died fifteen years ago. Where does the time go?

#SongoftheDay Bennie and the Jets (Dwayne Gretzky)

Image
Last night I dreamed that my partner and I were consulting with a pharmacist. She was suggesting different board games and puzzles for us, and then she asked my partner what his favourite song was. He said, "It's that song Hey, Stupid!" The pharmacist was like hmmmm not sure I know that tune. So I asked him, "Do you mean Bennie and the Jets?" And he was like yeah, that's the one. In the dream, I just got the sense that he was mishearing those first lyrics "Hey, kids" as "Hey, stupid." Now... none of this is based in real life. Bennie and the Jets is not my partner's favourite song. It's definitely a song known for its mondegreens ("She's got electric boobs--her mom has, too") but I've never known anyone to refer to this tune as "Hey, Stupid!" It's nice to bring you a lighthearted post, I must say. My physical and mental health are getting worse by the day, and the more pain I feel in my body...

#SongoftheDay Swingin' on a Star (Spooky and Sue)

Image
When we were talking about shooting stars the other day, this was actually the first song that popped into my head. I didn't make it our song of the day at the time because I don't exactly love it, but it did remind me of a TV show I used to watch in the 80s. I had to look it up just now, because I couldn't remember what it was called--or anything else about it, for that matter. Apparently the show I had in mind was called "Out of This World." Based on the opening credits, it looks like it was a sitcom about a teenager who is some kind of alien with superpowers? I love that I'm 100% sure I watched this show, and yet I don't remember anything about it aside from the theme song.

#SongoftheDay Word Up (Cameo)

Image
 LeVar Burton is: Funk Police! But for real. That's LeVar Burton. He's in this video. He is the funk police. I'm so nostalgic for the 80s.  Oh well. Can't live in the past. Calgon, take me away!

#SongoftheDay Superstition (Stevie Wonder)

Image
I can't believe this has never been our song of the day. I love it. It's on my playlist of 70s music I listen to when I'm super-bummed. And I'm listening to it now, so I must be super-bummed. Help me, music! Hellllllllp! Or, dare I say... funk me?

#SongoftheDay Hey Ya! (Outkast)

Image
I could have sworn I'd posted this song already, but apparently not. It makes me happy.  They bleeped out my favourite rhyme in this whole song, which is "momma" with "come-a."  "Shake it like a Polaroid picture" is a great line, too.  If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and visits every day, the easiest thing you can do is tell your friends about the site.

#SongoftheDay Spill the Wine (Eric Burdon & WAR)

Image
 Last week, my partner was really down on himself because he broke a glass jar one day and then the next day he broke another glass jar.  It wasn't a big deal, but it was a big deal to him. Well, today I'm alone at my apartment.  Earlier in the day, I spilled a bucket of water on my carpet.  About three minutes later, I kicked over an entire cup of coffee on the same carpet.  People as clumsy as I am should not put drinks on the floor. I wish my partner had been here to see me make such a huge mess.  Hopefully it would make him feel okay-er about accidentally breaking things.

#SongoftheDay Low Rider (WAR)

Image
The other day, I mentioned I'd found a music channel through our cable network that plays all 80s music.  Well, I found another channel that plays all 70s music, and I've found it to be much more collectively palatable to my household--which consists of myself and my partner.  It's got music he likes (Carole King et al) and music I like (disco and funk).

#SongoftheDay You Sexy Thing (Hot Chocolate)

Image
Earth Day was last week. To commemorate the occasion, my partner and I went to a nearby park to pick up trash. Most of the garbage we came across was styrofoam take-out containers, beer bottles, and abandoned PPE, but there was one item that will live on in my mind for the rest of my days. You see, I grabbed a plastic bag that had been buried in tall grasses for so long it fell apart as I picked it up.  What fell out was the BIGGEST DILDO I HAVE EVER SEEN. Clearly, it had been abandoned. Poor dildo. Somebody paid good money for it.   The giant (realistic) dildo is now in the garbage.  If it was yours and you were coming back for it, I apologize.  Check nearby bins.  Maybe it's still there.

#SongoftheDay Thank You (Sly and the Family Stone)

Image
I woke up with this song in my head, but just the chorus that goes "Thank you for letting me be myself" OR, as it's stylized in the longer version of this song's title and in the lyrics, " thank you falettinme be mice elf agin."

#SongoftheDay Family Affair Disco Purrfection Version (Sly & The Family Stone)

Image
I went to YouTube in hopes of stumbling upon a song to include in today's post, and instead I spent way too much time watching videos of people preparing egg dishes. Maybe that makes sense--Easter and all.   This year feels much like last year, in terms of not seeing family at the holidays.  Last Easter was the first holiday where Covid prevented us from seeing each other. In the same way that every day feels like Groundhog Day, the deja vu nature of this weekend makes it feel like Groundhog Easter.

#SongoftheDay The Glamorous Life (Sheila E.)

Image
 The other night, my partner and I were working on our current jigsaw puzzle when something on the radio mentioned anniversaries.  I said to my partner, "Don't we have an anniversary?" He was like, "Yes, it's February 9th." I was a wee bit mortified because I totally forgot.  Our anniversary is wedged between my birthday and Valentine's Day, so there was a lot going on around that time.  But I still felt awful for forgetting, and I figured my partner had been too polite to mention it at the time.   I apologized and apologized, until my partner said, "Don't worry--I forgot too." So then I didn't feel quite as awful.   We celebrate our relationship every day.  That's my excuse for forgetting.  We make the most of our time together.   I want to say I can't believe I forgot, but I can totally believe.  I forget anniversaries all the time. If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and visits every day, the ...

#SongoftheDay I Can't Stand the Rain (Ann Peebles)

Image
As it happens, I LOVE the rain, but this song spent all day yesterday in my head because it would not stop raining.  I watched an interview with Ann Peebles where she recollects writing and cutting this track. She blurted out the title one night when she was supposed to go to a concert, but everyone ended up staying in because of the weather. They wrote this song instead--and quickly, she recounts. Same with recording. It all came together very fast.  I'm having the opposite kind of writing day, but I know how great it feels when the art just flies out of you.
