"Wild Side" by Mötley Crüe

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/wild-side/1606705586?i=1606705593)

Not really sure why, but this song popped in my head a bit ago, and then I decided to go ahead play it from my playlist. Wild Side by Motley Crue is in my top 5 all-time favorites from the band. It's just a song that I have always enjoyed hearing. It's just one of the good songs to listen to I guess you could say.

[Verse 1]
Kneel down ye sinners to streetwise religion
Greed's been crowned the new king
Hollywood dream teens, yesterday's trash queens
Save the blessings for the final ring
Amen

[Chorus]
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side

[Verse 2] I carry my crucifix under my death list
Forward my mail to me in Hell
Liars and the martyrs lost faith in the Father
Long lost is the wishing well
Huh

A bit of Internet history for a change, in case there is somebody who may find this interesting!

The June edition of the monthly Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz (GOLQ461) arrived into my mailbox this morning. It is also available on the web:

http://golq.org/current.html

As in the past, the quiz consists of 25 regular tunes (all of which charted on the US Billboard pop chart between 1955 and 1969) and two tie-breakers. Entries are sent to the quiz masters by the end of the month and the results are published within a few days after that. Blind use of Internet search engines is strongly discouraged, as is posting the answers on public forums (including Mastodon!) before the end of the quiz.

All of the previous quizzes and their results are available on the GOLQ web site at http://golq.org/, which is a great resource, if you have any interest in testing your knowledge of the 1950s and 1960s popular music. Already in the 1990s, GOLQ was known as the longest-running Internet music quiz, and since it's still around, I'm pretty sure that this is the case even today. Originally posted to the Usenet newsgroups rec.games.trivia and alt.rock-n-roll.oldies, the quiz was started by Rick Schubert back in 1990. Soon, a number of other quiz masters joined him, established a three-week rotation (later extended to one month) and created a detailed set of rules and guidelines for the quiz.

I found out about the quiz in 1993, and starting with GOLQ76, ended up being a member of the quiz master team. All of the original quiz masters had been from the US, but another fellow Finn, Tommi Uschanov (who I had met through alt.rock-n-roll.oldies) had joined the team a little before me. Although there was a lot of work in running these quizzes, it was also great fun.

The popularity of the quizzes peaked in the mid-to-late 1990s, the record number of entries being more than fifty. Although there were never any prizes, the top teams put a lot of effort into identifying as many of the songs as possible. I certainly learned a lot both as an entrant and as a quiz master.

The quiz was an integral part of the alt.rock-n-roll.oldies newsgroup, which was later supplanted by the rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1950s, .1960s and .1970s groups. In addition to the Usenet discussions, there was also quite a bit of other communication and collaboration between the quiz masters and some of the newsgroup regulars - we did tape trades, and one of the quiz masters, Barry Silk, established the Mystery Oldies Audio Quiz (MOAQ), which consisted of 125 songs, was much more difficult and was distributed on cassette tapes sent by mail to a smaller insider group of participants. One of the high points of this period for me was that I got to run one of the MOAQs with a friend of mine.

Unfortunately (from the GOLQ perspective, at least) the Internet search engines were getting better over time, and by the end of the 1990s it was clear that you could get many of the GOLQ answers simply by putting a snippet of the lyrics into an AltaVista or Google search box. Perhaps because of this, the popularity of the GOLQs started to wane. The decline of the Usenet newsgroup communities was probably another reason for the loss of participants. We tried to overcome this by doing some of the GOLQs as MOAQ-like audio quizzes, which did work to some extent, at least for a time.

I finally dropped out of the quiz master team in 2003, as there were other things in my life that were taking up my time. But it's nice to know that the quiz is still going on, with several familiar names from the old days associated with it. I have continued to be on the GOLQ mailing list and have sometimes tried to identify the songs in the latest quiz, usually just for my own pleasure.

"Posse On Broadway" by Sir Mix-A-Lot

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/posse-on-broadway/1440818261?i=1440818475)

Once again, I missed posting yesterday as it was kind of a crazy day at work for me, so I'm going to make that up early this morning with a song for yesterday. Not sure why, but this song has been playing in my head for a few days now. The song is Posse Is On Broadway by Sir Mix-A-Lot.

This is a song that was hugely popular in the late 1980's when it came out and one that I listened to thousands of times for a couple of different reasons. One reason was simply because I loved the song, the beat to the song and the lyrics were kind of funny. The second reason was because the big "in thing" at the time was putting large sub-woofers in your car or truck and playing loud music with a lot of bass. This song had quite a bit of bass, so it got played for that reason.

[Verse 1]
Me and Kid Sensation at home away from home
In the black Benz limo with the cellular phone
I'm calling up the posse it's time to get rippin'
A freak in each sunroof to keep you suckas trippin'
Everybody's looking if you're jealous turn around
The AMG kit keeps us closer to the ground
We're getting good grip from the 50 series tires
The Alpine's bumping but I need the volume higher
'Cause the 808 kick drum makes the girlies get dumb
We're rolling Rainier and the jealous wanna get some
Every time we do this sucka mc's wanna battle
I'm the man they love to hate, the J.R. Ewing of Seattle
Picked up the posse on 23rd and Jackson
Heading for the strip, yes we're looking for some action
The limo's kinda crowded, the whole car was leaning back
Maharaji's watching T.V. with two girlies on his lap
On Martin Luther King the set looks kinda dead
We need a new street so posse move ahead
We all look kinda swass, the crew you can't forget
The Mix-a-lot posse cold ripping up the set

[Chorus]
My posse's on Broadway
My posse's on Broadway
Posse up

"1999" by Prince

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/1999/1544173941?i=1544173942)

Since I got busy at work yesterday and forgot to post, I'm making up the day today and using the daily prompt.

Describe music that reminds you of a specific place you've traveled.

This is a super easy one for me to answer and what's funny about this song I'm choosing, it literally just started playing on my playlist as I went to type this up. What song is it you ask? The song is 1999 by Prince!

This song makes me thing of Las Vegas every time I hear it. Las Vegas is a party city and 1999 has the lyrics, party like it's 1999. Just something I've always associated together. Las Vegas is hands down my favorite vacation spot to travel to as I've been to Las Vegas over 150 times so far and plan to increase that again very soon.

[Intro: Prince]
Don't worry, I won't hurt you
I only want you to have some fun

[Verse 1: Prince, Lisa, Dez, All]
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this morning
Could have sworn it was judgement day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care

[Chorus: Prince and All]
'Cause they say
2000, zero-zero, party over, oops, out of time
So tonight, I'm gonna party like it's 1999

SIMPLE MINDS
Life In A Day
1982 Canada reissue

The second Simple Minds album for breakfast.

My love and admiration for all things Simple Minds has been well documented; both here and on the old instance.

We’ve covered (at great lengths) how absurd it is to call them a one-hit wonder band, when they had existed for six years before THAT song had reared its head, producing SEVEN really great albums of wonderful, weirdo art-pop in that time.

The early SM albums are just phenomenal, and I think this one (along with Sons and Fascination), might be my favorite.

Chelsea Girl is here.
The title track is killer, Sad Affair is catchy as hell, and Pleasantly Disturbed is a master stroke.

Really great album.
Don’t you forget about it.
(Again, my apologies. I’ll see myself out.)

"I Swear" by John Michael Montgomery

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/i-swear/434129654?i=434129661)

What song would you use to describe your current relationship?

This daily prompt is super easy for me. It's an oldie but a goldie as they say. The song that best describes my marriage is I Swear by John Michael Montgomery. Just a perfect relationship/marriage song in every way possible if you ask me.

It's always been a top favorite of mine and I never get tired of hearing it.

[Verse 1]
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes, I'll never break your heart

[Chorus]
I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear, like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear

[Verse 2]
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page, my love won't age at all
