I absolutely adore Brian Setzer’s Christmas Extravaganza!
You might be asking why is this an extravaganza I love, it just is. It just is.

Dance around a little bit to Boogie Woogie Santa Claus!

a tune for Tuesday vol 10

There aren’t many Christmas songs in which the chorus begins: “Santa, you bitch.”
Dude didn’t get a damn thing from his Christmas list…
I mean WTF, Santa?

Thing 2 introduced this song into my holiday collection.
Here’s The Maine with Santa Stole My Girlfriend.

a tune for Tuesday vol 9

Posted on December 4, 2018 by robynbird

It’s December and that means I’m playing holiday music 24/7 up in my nest!
So for the next four weeks, Tuesday’s tunes will be holiday themed.

I love exploring different versions of traditional Christmas songs.
Sometimes they’re rocking, or jazzy. Sometimes they’re orchestral or sung by a choir.
Sometimes they’re bluesy as all get out.
Here’s White Christmas from Eric Clapton.

Please listen responsibly.

a tune for Tuesday vol 7

Posted on November 20, 2018 by robynbird

I was eleven when I bought my first 45. It was Toto’s Africa.
I was forty seven when Weezer remade Africa.
I liked it!

Weezer covered Toto’s Africa.
Asked Weird Al to star in the vid, which is pretty much just a parody of their vid for Undone (The Sweater Song)
Leaves me wondering how far on can cram one’s tongue in one’s cheek.

Today I’m sharing a curious sort of break up song.

Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da da da dat dat da ya da!
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da da da dat – Everybody!
(in case you want to sing along)

This is Jonathan Groff as King George III with You’ll be Back
