Quincy Jones (Italian Job Soundtrack): Getta Bloomin’ Move On
There are a few movies that I never grow tired off. The Blues Brothers, The Great Escape, and The Italian Job (1969 version) rank amongst my favorites and require a compulsory viewing at least once a year. One thing common to the three aforementioned titles are the soundtracks are all very good. [...]
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Commotion
Man – this song still sounds very fresh, yet, it is over 40 years old. Creedence Clearwater Revival released this in 1969, on what was possible their best album, Green River. It was CCR’s third album release, and first to make it to the number one spot in Billboard albums chart. It [...]
John Lennon: Cold Turkey
K, I know this is not about the turkey you eat for your Thanksgiving/ Christmas feast, but I just had to post.
The real meaning is pretty obvious when reading the lyrics on this track – it’s about the physical effects on the body due to a withdrawal from an addiction to heroin – “Cold [...]
Deep Purple: Child in Time

The Beatles Vs Blondie: Glass Octopus
Jenny found this track for me a year or two ago. The excitement was as if she had found gold, and naturally Glass Octopus was on a constant loop for a few days. The original Beatles version of Octopus’ Garden was written by Ringo Starr, and released on the 1969 album, “Abbey [...]
The Beatles: Something
“Something” is my favorite Beatles song that was written by George Harrison, and even Frank Sinatra is quoted as saying this is the greatest love song of all time. I’ve read a few interpretations over who the lyrics are about – one, an obvious assumption, is that they are about Harrison’s wife at [...]
