Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm! Nah, just kidding. It was just a cleaning, so no mumbling. And, as I sit here dirtying the newly-cleaned teeth up with a chicken taco salad I’ll give you another classic rock tune that you hear...

1972 Songs Top Ten: Do It Again (#10)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86597) • United States 22 Jul 22

Gee, I’m always apologizing to people for these posts. This time it’s a “sorry” to NJ Chic, who just “loves” this band so much. She should be thankful she’s so young, because they started 50 years ago so she hasn’t had that...

Gee, that didn’t hurt. Of course, I said that when I turned 40. It was 41 that got me. Anyway, the birthday celebration continues with another song that has an age in the title. I believe some Wrecked...

Our hindcast meteorologist @DocAndersen suggested a countdown of songs with “monkey” in the title, and I’m happy to oblige! Why? Well, it’s just another excuse to sneak some favorite acts into another countdown. ...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86597) • United States 15 Jun 21

Can’t get much simpler than that for a title in today’s “king” side of the dual countdowns of songs with “king” and “queen” in the title. To NJ Chic’s infinite joy and happiness here’s today’s song. [b]#8:...

Heartbroken Band Blues

Four Walls @FourWalls (86597) • United States 15 Feb 21

My heart is broken because my “heart” song countdown has ended! NOW what? It’s time to highlight some bands that have/had more than one lead vocalist. That’s the thing about rock and roll: when you think about...

Obscure Titles Not in the Song: Pretzel Logic (#11)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86597) • United States 16 Jun 20

Give me time, and I’ll make everyone upchuck! Instead of the country fans, today’s non-hit takes aim at @NJChicaa , who just loves this band (and that is sarcasm). The band’s name, you know, but you’ve probably never...

titles not in the songs

Along with favorite songs that have “radio” in the title I’m celebrating songs about radio, in some way or another. For today’s song about radio I’m picking another favorite, so this is one of those no-surprise days. Blame it on...
