Week 8

Well for week 8 I picked the song "Theres a bad moon on the rise" by Credence clearwater revival. So I know this really doesnt have that much to do with the song but when I was like 10 I got a halloween card where part of this song played when you opened it. And the card said something like don't eat to much candy or you'll be in the bathroom on the right. And thats what I thought this song said, instead of " a bad moon on the rise", i thought it said, " there's a bathroom on the right." haha. But this song actually has a pretty cool sound too it. It sounds like a typical 60's song. Has a nice beat, easy to listen to, and just makes you feel good if you know what I mean. For me this song sounds somewhat upbeat and happy, but it doesn't talk about anything happy at all. Unless being prepared to die from bad storm is happy. I know this seems kinda weird but for some reason im surprised  that this song isn't in more movies and tv shows if you know what I mean. It just seems like a song pretty much anyone would like you know?

    Your nostalgic experience with this song just made my day! That's hilarious and honestly I just learned what it said today even though i've heard the song multiple times. That upbeat feel makes this song feel happy, but its shocking finding out that the lyrics don't portray the same message.

    That is so funny. I have definitely had moments like that where I thought it said one thing but wayyy later in life I learned what the actual lyrics were. The song that goes "welcome to the danger zone" for the longest time I always thought of Lightning McQueen and thought the lyrics said "welcome to the Dinico". Happy to know I am in good company and I am not the only one that does it. But back to the song this is a good song but also has sad lyrics.

    That's one way to get introduced to this song. I'm a big fan of this song and your totally right that this is a song where you would more than likely listen to it on the radio than it being played in a movie. Which is perfectly fine cause this song is such a banger by Credence Clearwater Revival.

    Erin Freeze had done a great job with including information and being organized. My only comment is that she has almost an internally blank page.

      Sorry wrong thing
      I love bad moon rising. Since taking this class I have realised that I say I love this song all the time. But I really do love this song. My mom has a list of rock Halloween songs and this is on her list. Everytime I hear this song I think of her.

Week 4

For week 4 I picked waiting for a train by good old Jimmie Rodgers. I love this song, the message is a little sad but the sound of the song is great. It kind of sounds like Johnny Cash wrote it. I also like that its just super simple, which makes it easy for other people to play. I noticed how it has a good beat for a song from back then. Nothing like you could dance to really good or anything but still a nice beat. Something else I like is about it is that its almost seems like a crooning song. Personally I think its going a little fast to be a croon, but the way he is singing and how its getting picked up by a microphone makes it a have that croon vibe. And on top of the kind of croon sound its has the country vibe too. This might be one of the first country songs. At least for me its one of the earliest ones I have ever heard of. Now it seems to be influenced by tin pan alley somewhat and the crooning style music you hear. And ive never actually heard of Jimmie Rodgers before this c...

Week 6

Alright everybody, for this week I choose Tequila by the Champs. So when I saw this on the list of songs we can pick from I had no idea what it actually was, but this is the song from Pee-wee Herman's big adventure. The part where he is dancing in the bar trying to save his life. Anyway, this is one of those songs that just gets stuck in your head for ever after you listen to it.  I think its kind a funny that it says the same word 3 times for the lyrics. I also noticed how the album cover made it look like this was tough old western/mexican song, but when you hit play its just this goofy dance song haha. I like how they made the sound of the song, sound like a tequila if you know what I mean, whoever wrote it knew what they were doing cause it is spot on. And the fact that the 1 word lyrics sound like the skull talking is pretty cool too. But to wrap things up for the week, Great song, great lyrics, and I was blown away that this was the pee wee herman song
