My memory is not great but I am 97% sure it was at The Civic Center.

So we're packing. It's a huge job this time, we have plenty of books, records, things, stuff, furniture, machines, whatever... even three cats...

So before I get mad I decided I'd take it easy... with some music.

Do you know songs about that?

Thak you!! ]]>Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:33:18 GMThttp://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149434http://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149434Sun, 07 Apr 2013 23:25:07 GMThttp://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149426http://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149426Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:56:55 GMThttp://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149420http://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149420
I have a song in mind for almost a month now and I can't find it. It makes me almost crazy Maybe someone of you can help. Would be great... what I can remember:

- I think it's a song from mid/end 80ies
- could be a one hit wonder
- it has long spoken parts with the voice from a boy who talks about what he wants to be when he's grown up
- it's a long list of jobs - i think he talks about being a fireman and an astronaut... and a lot of other things
- could be that he talks to his dad
- the music has an easy groove, kind of reggae
- i think the chorus is instrumental - a synth with a catchy melody played by something like a flute (or also a high synth)
- i think there is also a music video with a little boy, I think he's black but I'm not sure

I know it's not much information, but there are not so much well known spoken songs from the 80ies. Can you help me? Would be so good!

Best,
Patrik

My problem is, I'm running out of ideas for playlists to make. Each year I do a best of the year playlist and I've also done a few other miscellaneous playlists. I'd like to make some more, but I've run out of ideas. Hence why I turn to you guys.

What are some good ideas for playlists? Playlists you'd like to hear or you think others would like to hear? For example, I've done a "Greatest Guitar Solos Of All Time" and a "Best Beatles Covers" playlist, so stuff like that.

So, any ideas? ]]>Fri, 23 Nov 2012 17:12:48 GMThttp://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149332http://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149332as a mime.

What are some other examples of opening acts that have nothing to do with music? Think performance artists, acrobats, comedians, laser shows, fireworks... whatever you've seen or heard of in an opener that has nothing to do with music. ]]>Wed, 21 Nov 2012 04:56:50 GMThttp://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149318http://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/149318

We hear this a lot - "The fans like it, so I play it."

Here's an alternate view:
When I see an artist walk through a hit they clearly despise, I feel like they're pandering to the crowd. I don't know if Bruce still does it, but for "Hungry Heart," he would just point the microphone into the audience and create a brutal mass-Karaoke. Billy Joel doing "You May Be Right" is not right - especially when he has so many other songs he'd rather play and I'd rather hear.

Anyway, there are some artists who flatly refuse to play at least one of their hit songs, but I can't think of any at the moment. Who are they, and am I the only one who doesn't mind when that big hit gets left off the setlist? ]]>Tue, 16 Oct 2012 20:31:33 GMT
