16 September 2006

I was tagged with providing answers to the following questions last weekend by one of my favorite Road Warriors. As I started pecking out answers to the aforementioned interrogation, I found myself pulling out old CDs and listening to them, quickly realizing that my love for music demanded that I give some thought to my answers. My apologies to Tammi for the lack of timeliness in responding to the tag, nevertheless, here are my “4 Songs…”

Four songs that you could listen to over and over:
There were so many songs that ran through my brain as I tried to come up with an answer to this, certainly my mood plays a large part in which tunes I’d hit the replay button on, but given that I could pick only four…

1. Piano Man, by Billy Joel (Big music with deep lyrics).
2. Cryin’, by Joe Satriani (Man he can make a guitar sing).
3. Stairway to Heaven, by Led Zeppelin (Need I really say why?).
4. Shine on You Crazy Diamond, by Pink Floyd (After seeing them play this live in Italy, I can’t stop the music).

Four songs that drive you up the friggin’ wall:
There are quite a few music…

1. She Bangs, by Ricky Martin (largely because of William Hung).
2. Candy Shop, by 50 Cent (Ugh).
3. Who Let the Dogs Out, by Baha Men (Too much airplay, who, who).
4. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, by Irish Rovers (It was funny the first time, enough already).

Four songs that you’re embarrassed (or should be) to admit you like:
I don’t know if I’m all that embarassed, but I suppose I ought to be…

1. I Write the Songs, by Barry Manilow (Don’t ask me why, but I just like it).
2. Stayin’ Alive, by the Bee Gees (They sure could sing though).
3. Voulez- Vous, by Abba (But what a sound).
4. Fat Bottomed Girls, by Queen (I like the harmonizing).

Four best driving songs:
1. Paradise by the Dashboard Light, by Meatloaf (A master of musical poetry).
2. Free Bird, by Lynrd Skynyrd (Damn near crashed my 69′ Firebird listening to this).
3. Oh Black Water, by The Doobie Brothers (More harmony).
4. Magic Carpet Ride, by Steppenwolf (My life).

Four songs that make you cry:
Heartbreakers…

1. Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad, by Meat Loaf (Don’t ask).
2. Hero, by David Crosby and Phil Collins (Gets me every time).
3. Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’, by Journey (You Know It).
4. A Horse With No Name America (Sad but not).

Four best risqué songs:
As risqué as I get…

1. Goodbye Stranger, by Supertramp (Remember them?).
2. Don’t You Want Me Baby, by Human League (Well sort of risque).
3. Lady, by Little River Band (Somehow).
4. Anyway You Want It, by Journey (You can’t deny it).

Four best kid songs:
I swear that I did’nt get help with this answer…

1. Old McDonald (I hear he had a farm).
2. ABC Song (C’mon, you know it…A,B,C,D…).
3. Row, Row, Row Your Boat (Why not up the stream?).
4. Hole in the Bucket (Dear Liza, a hole).

Four songs (hell, pick your own category and fill it in) groups not yet listed that you just luvthehelloutof:

1. Mamas and Papas
2. Steve Miller Band
3. Crash Test Dummies
4. Rush

I won’t tag anyone but feel free to add your own 4 cents in the comments. Sgt Hook out.

  1. Excellent! And I have to admit at first glance, didn’t seem like a tough excercise - but it WAS! Too many songs, too few slots.

    And I’ll even forgive you the Barry Manilow. ;-)

  2. I agree with all of your selections that I can remember, except I like “Candy Shop” by 50 Cent. I enjoy the Rap & Hip Hop music. (I know you don’t, and that’s fine.) My Granny has a great saying, “It takes all kinds of folks to make a world.” And she is right. God bless you Sgt. Hook for all you do & for your website. I try to read it every day if possible.

    I love my Army & Marines! I had cousins serve in both in the Vietnam War!

In view of a recent tendency to identify characters in fiction with real people, it seems proper to state that there are no real people in this volume: both the characters and their names are ficticious. The names or designations of any military units are ficticious. There are no living people nor existing military units presented in this book. -Ernest Hemingway

Fiddler's Green


Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
