Sing, Sing, Sing and Dance, Dance, Dance

You may ask yourself, Why Why Why?  But you can see no reason, because there are no reasons.  What reason do you need to be shown?  Indeed, what else is there to Say Say Say?

Sometimes you get an idea and think Neat Neat Neat! Let's go Down, Down, Down that rabbit hole.  Like when I did this post.  Or when Stinky shared this double album.  We're willing to Go Go Go to ridiculous lengths to bring you ridiculous concepts.

Are there really over 40 songs here?  Yes, Yes, Yes!  It took a Long, Long, Long time to come up with them.  I looked up a few (not gonna Lie Lie Lie), but most of them popped into my head.  Can't say I like every song, but as a whole it Turn Turn Turned out Well Well Well. 


 

These two sets Run Run Run the gamut from Cold, Cold, Cold to Hot Hot Hot!!  Is this the last word on the subject?  No, No, No.  I bet you can think of a few More, More, More if you Try, Try, Try! Please, Please, Please share them in the comments.  

Share this post with your friends and say Hi, Hi, Hi!  Maybe it will get a Buzz, Buzz, Buzz on social media.  Or maybe it's another idea destined to Die Die Die.  

At least I can stop thinking about it now.  Sometimes an idea will just Nag Nag Nag at you (like a song stuck in your head), and then one day it's Gone Gone Gone before you had a chance to say Bye Bye Bye.

    1. A few that didn't make the final list were Lefty Frizzell's "She's Gone Gone Gone", "Baby-Baby-Baby" by TLC, NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" and Arrow's "Hot Hot Hot" (which was covered by Buster Poindexter).

    1. Thanks! I wonder if songwriters figure that repetitive titles and choruses like these will be more likely to get stuck in our heads?

    1. That was glorious! I didn't know that song, and I'm so happy that you introduced it to me. Five stars, 10.0, chef's kiss to The Fastbacks.

      Delete
    2. I am glad you like that track! The Fastbacks are a band that I paid zero attention to at the time but that I've (better late than never) ended up loving. They have TONS of very cool (punky powerpop) songs like that . . .

      Delete
    3. There's so much music that I'm not intentionally avoiding -- I'm sure I'll love it once I have time to listen, if I live that long -- and the Fastbacks are one of those bands. Love the vocals and the guitar solo in "Wrong Wrong Wrong".

  5. Great theme, had to think right away of the original buzz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nQ4zbBMtDo

    1. The first version I knew of was by Jonathan Richman, but the original is much better! Thanks!

    1. Nathan Nothin and I share a fascination with Dawn Penn's song (and its history, which goes back to Bo Diddley's "She's Fine, She's Mine" and Willie Cobb's "You Don't Love Me"). Jamaican DJ's used to travel to the US to find blues, soul and Motown songs for their sound systems, which is possibly how Willie Cobb's tune became a reggae classic. Timeless rhythm, timeless voice, brilliant horns! Nathan compiled an excellent "song swarm" of "No, No, No" versions --

    1. Another great song, thanks! I have another (much longer) list of songs with two word titles (like Mony Mony, Mary Mary, and Marie Marie).

  8. Most weird, most wonderful, most intelligent. A truly inspired double collection, Mister Mister Jonder, thank you! Best, TC (1 out of 3)

    1. Each suggestion brings us closer to a third volume -- thank you for this song, it's totally unfamiliar to me!

      Delete
    2. Also Justin Kalk Orchestra - Frown, Frown, Frown

      Delete
    3. I should've complied these before replying (Dark Dark Dark was me too ) ha ha; the Guess Who - Guns Guns Guns, and the Driveway Thriftdwellers - Dernt Dernt Dernt

      Delete
    4. Berni, these are great! Today it occurred to me that there might be a Gary Glitter song, and sure enough he had a 1984 single called Shout! Shout! Shout!
      I also remembered Chumbawamba's Drip Drip Drip.

      Delete
    5. Looks like another volume's getting possible, possible, possible.

      Delete
    6. Yes, nearly there -- and I just remembered another that I really should have included, "Sick Sick Sick" from my favorite Queens of the Stone Age album!

      Berni, I listened to "Dernt Dernt Dernt" on Bandcamp (great tune!), and it made me wonder how you became aware of the Driveway Thriftdwellers. Are you from Wisconsin?

      Delete
    7. Nope, a New Englander by way of Atlantic Canada. I just listen to way too much music and I'm using that track on an upcoming compilation.

  10. If you're still taking suggestions, I'm nominating Bad Habits - Fuckfuckfuck!

    1. I'm not sure if Bad Habits is the song title, or the name of the artist -- WTFFF?

    2. If you don't know the band Bad Habits, where ya been, my friend. Just saying.
