Memorable Melodies
« on: November 09, 2020, 12:59:16 AM »
What are some of those songs that just have a melody that you just can’t help but sing or hum along with?

First off for me is maybe my favourite of all time, Bowie’s Life On Mars. The brilliant piano piece of music with Bowie’s voice over it is magic.

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Tiny Dancer - Elton John

How can you not sing this song when it comes on? Elton in the early to mid 70’s was on a role very hard to match.

But oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones

A real special tune for me. It hit me like a ton of bricks one night it came on the radio about a month after my mom had passed.

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

For some reason, this popped into my head when I read the o.p. I haven't heard it in years...

I might end up posting a LOT of Stevie in this thread; for now, I'll just post this one:

Take It To The Limit - The Eagles

Not a big Eagles fan, but this is one when it comes on I can’t help but sing along to. On a side note I always thought this would have been the perfect song to have playing during Walter White’s drive through the desert to meet his fate during the last episode of Breaking Bad. Would have been very fitting.

And when you're looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
You're coming back for more

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

Not much of a fan, but every once in a while, Rivers knocks it out of the park.
