  1. One nice thing about doing fake disks for Band-in-a-Box is making discoveries. Mrs. Notes and I are doing a Jazz Book, and we were looking for diffrent ways people have done "Puttin' On The Ritz" and came across this gem by Gunhild Carling. One of the most energetic female trombonist/singers I've ever seen.
  2. Na Na Na Na Hey Hey-ey Goodbye - Steam
  3. The Piano has Been Drinking - Tom Waits
  4. Five Guys Named Moe - Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five Louis Jordan music always makes me smile. Louis usually plays alto sax, this is the first UTube I've seen with him playing tenor. The song is using "Rhythm Changes" like so many others of the era originated by George Gershwin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_changes
  5. I'll bet his wife is cross that he is a cross dresser.
  6. One good Monk deserves another. We used to play this a lot when I was in a Sunday Afternoon Jazz Band in Vero Beach FL. Well You Needn't - Thelonious Monk
  7. No Woman, No Cry - Bob Marley & The Wailers
  8. Anything by Kanye West (of course Rap isn't technically music, as music needs rhythm, harmony and melody)
  9. Desperado - Antonio Banderas - Cancion del Mariachi
  10. Straight, No Chaser - Thelonious Monk I like the way Monk plays with dissonances.
  11. Dancing In The Dark - Bruce Springsteen Or if you prefer, same title, different song by Fred Astaire We do the Springsteen song, and I enjoy singing it. I've never played the Astaire song but it sounds like it could be fun as well.
  12. Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus
  13. Pérez Prado: Mambo Potpourri / Radio Radio • Antonio Delgado • New Brunswick Youth Orchestra My "Song Assassination Game" submission showed this in the sidebar, and I'm enjoying it.
  14. Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega (I can't argue with success, but I hate what he did to the Perez Prado song, it's not even a Mambo anymore) As an antidote: We used to play the Perez version when we were hired by the Arthur Murray franchise to play for member dances. We tried to avoid the Lou Bega version, but we're good hos and we played it when requested.
  15. Mustang Sally - Sir Mack Rice (the original) Mustang Sally - The Young Rascals (my favorite version) It just needs a sax solo (I volunteer)
