Songs I'd Forgotten Existed, Let Alone Loved (An Occasional Series): Special "An Early Clue to the New Direction" Edition
From 2000, please enjoy fabulous Irish family band (yeah, yeah, I know I should have posted this on Tuesday in honor of St. Paddy's Day) The Corrs and their melodically insinuating and drop dead sexy hit "Breathless."
Man, watching that, all I can say is -- oh, to be 50 again. 😎
They should call it "Breastless" because without them they have no act. I saw the Corrs a good 30 years ago, which means if they were in their 20s then they''re in their 50s now. That's alotta work.
Bands with female drummers not named Karen Carpenter?
ReplyDeleteSongs sharing titles with French New Wave films?
I've Always Been Crazy About Irish Girls?
Songs by family bands? Songs by reunited bands?
ReplyDeletesongs by family bands is a great idea and I'm gonna steal it down the road. But it isn't this weeks EQ. 😎
ReplyDeletePretty, talented Irish women performing a nice tune- what's not to like? Overly-slick production with, blech, autotune- that's what.
ReplyDeleteSongs for soccer moms spending the bulk of their days in the minivan?
ReplyDeleteMeh, sounds like forgettable pop to me.
ReplyDeleteSongs that share the same title
ReplyDeleteAlso a good one, but no. 😎
DeleteSongs whose lyrics were a waste of good paper 😉
DeleteMusic videos that can still get you hard!
ReplyDeleteAdmit it what I’m saying is true.

Don't know what kind of sites you visit but to my surprise Claude tells me there are "get hard" music vids 🙀
