Music of the erotic as power.
Pat Benatar’s “All Fired Up” gets me every time!
LOVE! I’m adding this to my Workout Bangers playlist, where all my high-energy songs are :)
Perfecto!
Can't help thinking about Joni's "You turn me on, I'm a radio" https://open.spotify.com/track/0ClDL3UrFy6vXhuGPKlNMJ?si=9dba5756e1724a99
This is one of the first Joni songs I ever learned to play! It's in an open tuning which makes the chords distinctive and very fun. I also know the entire record from which it came by heart :)
My very “Youthful” joy songs?
High school. No car. Grandmas blast furnace summer house in a tiny eastern WA town???
‘Grooving, on a Sunday Afternoon” The Young Rascals
“Don’t Worry Baby” The Beach Boys
(Well, everything they did actually)
“Summer in the City” The Loving Spoonful :
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people lookin' half dead
Walkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night, it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty
Cool cat lookin' for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
'Til I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Runnin' upstairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
Thanks for the warm wave of nostalgia washing over me right now. I’m going to be looping through that era all day now!
😽
Nice, Ali! I know this song and I've always thought it was killer, glad you brought it up :)
Good one! Check out the song Miracles on the Red Octopus album by Jefferson Starship. Mm hm, oh yeah baby.
Nice, I'll check it out! I love the stuff they did in the 80s best :)
