1976 Songs: Between the Lines

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 3 Mar

Now we come to the first song that you won’t know. And you won’t know the artist by name until I remind you. At least I can get a big ol’ “slope” out of New Jersey for this, because she definitely knows the...

Sunny Top Ten: Lipstick Sunset (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 31 Jul

Howdy from Jackson, Tennessee, where it really is “hotter than a pepper sprout”! It’s that way outside of Jackson, too. The sun is setting on the sun list with my favorite song by a favorite performer. Just a...

1985 Songs: Marlene on the Wall

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 11 Mar 25

This song almost ended up in the top ten…“last one out,” as they’ll be saying when they make the NCAA selections this weekend. (By the way, Selection Sunday is a national holiday in Kentucky, so don’t call anyone in...

Happy Friday! I’m enjoying the delicious smoked turkey at Mark’s Feed Store and getting ready to spring another one of those great Texans on you. I guess you folks who don’t like country music can find solace in the fact that...

1974 Top Ten: Late for the Sky (#2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 30 May 24

No lie, I’ve been sitting here for ten minutes trying to decide which of these final two songs on the list should go first, and which should have the #1 spot. That close. Let’s just call it #1 and #1A. 1974 was a great year for...

40-Year-Old Songs: Lovers in a Dangerous Time

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 11 Apr 24

During 1984 I was getting more and more into the “non-commercial” music. Whether it was called “college rock” of “album rock,” I didn’t care. I just knew that it made me a lot happier than every other song by Lionel Richie....

Happy Veterans Day to my fellow veterans. Thank you for your service. Salute! I’m moving on from two days in Biloxi, but not before giving you another song with “gonna” in the title. Here’s today’s song. [b]It Isn’t Gonna Be...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 28 Aug 23

Okay, so we’ve established that some of these songs that ended up on the Clear Channel Memorandum of songs that might be inappropriate in the wake of 9/11 were stretches of the imagination, to say the very least. But...

Products in Song Titles Top Ten: Chevy Van (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 11 Aug 22

It seems to me I’m not supposed to go to any golf tournaments this year, even though I’m not playing. I’ll muse about that later. Right now, it’s time to ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!! Okay, not with this song, but this is a song...

1972 Songs: Taxi

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 19 Jul 22

Fair warning: this won’t be the only long song in this list of songs that’s 50 years old now. (Don’t worry, “In-a-Godda-da-Vida” was 1968. ) The song that launched the career, cut way too short, is our song from...

1972 Songs: Heart of Gold

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 10 Jul 22

At this point I guess I should point out that I was NOT requested, ordered, threatened, cajoled, or anything else to include this song by certain individuals who like the artist featured in today’s 1972 song. No, this song stands...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 24 Apr 21

Two words come to mind after you’ve had enough birthdays: “old” and “age.” I’m taking those two words and enjoying two countdowns of songs with “old” and “age” in the titles. I’m mixing up with one goes first, too. You can...

When you stay up all night watch You Tube videos you’ll wake up late. I’m still in bed, so I’ll fall out of here shortly and go enjoy the day. But fist, another song with “fall” in the title. [b]#9: Falling Up - John...

Bad Day for Music

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 30 Sep 20

We will have days like this occasionally. It’s always sad when the music from our lives is silenced in death, but every now and then we lose more than one major figure in one day. Shortly after the news of Helen Reddy’s passing...

Obscure Titles Not in the Songs: Defying Gravity (#9)
