[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

By that point, you should DEFINITELY know what a prince and lover ought to be. 

Seriously, it’s been 146 hours. Please, just go ahead, now.

Did anyone @rockaction?

 

[krista4]

KILLING ME SOFTLY RUN##!#. I'm much more familiar with this version being a teenager in the 90s, I was basically waiting for either this or Taylor Swift to be taken, then jumping on the other.

15.18 - Killing Me Softly With His Song - The Fugees (#359)

In this case, I like the remake better than the original.   

 

[rockaction]

Did anyone @rockaction?

I'm here now. Will pick in a second.

No rush.  I'm going to put some laundry away and then look over my sad, mutilated list.

Better than sad, mutilated laundry.

Kind of like...

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 15.19

Walk On By - Dionne Warwick (51) - 1964

@krista4

I've always liked this, but I'm surprised it came in as high as #51. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

In this case, I like the remake better than the original.   

No doubt.

 

[krista4]

I'm back.  Catching up, amidst my tears.

 

[simey]

Kind of surprised Buckley's version wasn't on the list. 

His seems to be the most popular, but I like Leonard's original the best. His voice just goes with the tone of his words in his songs. He also wrote tons of verses to go with the song, and he sings different ones live, but the original studio version has one of my favorite verses that is usually not used in most covers, and even by him live. It's this one...

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

”And that boy went on to bang Jennifer Lawrence.”

I only have two Happy Greens left in this grouping, and I don't feel like "#### the Police" would fit well in my mix.   

Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues  (#187)

@cosjobs

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Will be checking in, but it's time to eat my cajun sprimp.  Do not skip.

 

[krista4]

Apologies for the extra time it took me to figure out how to spell "subterranean."

 

[krista4]

Will be checking in, but it's time to eat my cajun sprimp.  Do not skip.

Oh yum!

You can send me your pick if you wish.  

 

[Doug B]

I would rather hear Two Princes on loop for 146 consecutive hours ... 

"We have ways of making you talk, Mr. Bond!"

   "Do your worst!"

 ... if YOU! Want to talk for HOURS ... just go AHEAD NOW! ... 

   "Aaaaaah!!!!"

 

[Ilov80s]

Round 15.19

Walk On By - Dionne Warwick (51) - 1964

@krista4

Nice pick, thought that would last longer. I am not surprised it was you who grabbed it though. 

 

[krista4]

I'd thought cos was around, but maybe not.  I texted him per his standing request.

 

[krista4]

ANNOUNCE ANNOUNCE ANNOUNCE!

Beginning tomorrow morning, I will be traveling and unable to update the spreadsheet regularly.  I know Pip, Eephus, landrys, NV, and Doug B have successfully updated it in the past and trust that some combo of them and others can help move this forward. 

I will have periods of time - in the Sky Club, on the plane, etc. that I can probably catch things up.  Just warning I won't be here consistently to do that, especially the Angry Red shading on Sheet3 that most people don't touch, or keeping track of who's up, etc.

 

[cosjobs]

237 - Your Cheatin’ Heart / Hank Williams  -1953

Its a very good song by a legendary singer/songwriter I probably would not have taken if everything else in the tier didn't suck so hard

 

[cosjobs]

I'd thought cos was around, but maybe not.  I texted him per his standing request.

I've been around some, but you probably knocked 30-45 minutes off the wait. Thanks

You'll never be surprised by anything again if you call the Psychic Friends Network

Let’s give @Atomic Punka bit; I think he was only on skip until 5 CDT.  Plus Mrs R is chowing down anyway.

 

[Atomic Punk]

I’m here. Pick up in 5.

 

[Atomic Punk]

15.22 James Taylor - Fire and Rain (#146)

One my favourite easy listening tunes and happy it is still available.

@Mrs. Rannousafter she finishes her Cajun shrimp.

 

[Eephus]

For @Eephus:

15.05 You Are the Sunshine of My Life -- Stevie Wonder (#183)

@The Dreaded Marcoup.

Thanks pip.  I always draft Stevie, I can't control it.

You Are the Sunshine of My Life has one of his greatest melodies but what grabs me now is the perfection of the arrangement. The song has been covered hundreds of times but nobody comes close to the interplay between the Fender Rhodes and the bassline, the bubbling percussion and the casual grooviness of the backing vocals on Stevie's original.

We watched Southside with You last week, the fictionalized movie about the first date of Michelle Robinson and Barack Obama when they were young lawyers in Chicago. I guess it's technically a rom-com but it's an earnest one. The connection to Stevie is that the young couple in the movie disagreed about which was the better album Talking Book or Innervisions.  Barack preferred the latter but Michelle insisted Talking Book was her favorite album in part because of this song.  In the end, they agreed to disagree on it but still managed to live happily ever after.

He's on the beach. I text Snoop to get ahold of him

The weasel is on the beach; the punk is doing punk things.

 

[Atomic Punk]

Look up. I picked a few minutes ago.

 

[Atomic Punk]

And also doing Punk things. Like trying to get other managers to respond to trade offers. Drives me nuts.

 

[krista4]

Oh yeah, I know.  Also had it entered into the spreadsheet.

Nobody responds to pending trades but me;

Nobody …. Waaah aah!

Miss Lauryn Hill- Doo-*** (That Thing) (1998) #49

Love her, love this album and the song. Happy to get it this late.

I could live without the skit that's tacked on after the fade on the album version.

237 - Your Cheatin’ Heart / Hank Williams  -1953

Its a very good song by a legendary singer/songwriter I probably would not have taken if everything else in the tier didn't suck so hard

His grandson, Sam, played at this years Merlefest. He was good, and doesn't sound like his grandfather or dad. He doesn't sound country either. His brother Hank lll (Shelton) sounds like their grandfather. Their sister, Holly, played about three years ago at Merlefest. She's good too. They are the children of Hank Williams, Jr.

Plus Mrs R is chowing down anyway.

Woo hoo!  That was spicy.  I can't feel my tongue.

And there's boudin for later.  Score!

 

[Steve Tasker]

If needed, I can be skipped.  Leaving work in a bit and will catch up tonight.  Don't want to hold things up if people are waiting.

Buckley's version and most other covers follow John Cale's version, which came out in 1991 on a Cohen tribute album. Cale couldn't make out all the words on Cohen's studio version and asked Cohen for a copy of the lyrics. Cohen sent him 15 pages' worth of them (!). So Cale just used the ones he liked best.

15.22 James Taylor - Fire and Rain (#146)

I would have taken this from that bloc if Jumpin' Jack Flash was gone.

The late 80s early 90s were the golden age of tribute albums and the Cohen tribute  I'm Your Fan was one of the best.  Sadly, it's not on Spotify like a lot of records of this ilk.

There's a playlist on YouTube that follows the European running order that demotes REM to side 2.

 

[krista4]

don't skip me

Looks like Tasker has asked to be skipped, so you are up @Chaos Commish!

I'm Your Fan!  This was my introduction to Cohen, as embarrassing as that might be to admit.
