Punk's Got Soul and We've Got More Triple Song Titles

A tip of the hat to Hal, who recently found the blog and was inspired to send in two dozen Triple Song Titles from his own digital music collection! Why on earth hasn't "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" been included until now?  Heaven only knows.

We still haven't identified the mystery artist who performed "Really Really Really" (see my last post for the details, or lack thereof) -- but Koen and I each found another song with that same title. Really, we did!

I added a couple more triples to bring the set closer to the 80 minute mark, because you triple title fans have no doubt burned every one of these collections to CD. I know I haven't!  

Hal also suggested a perfect tune for the Punks Got Soul series, Serious Drinking's swell version of Candi Staton's "Young Hearts Run Free".  Thanks again, Hal!

James (another friend of the blog) nominated Lizzy Mercier Descloux's "Funky Stuff", and Richard found Akron band Chi-Pig's recording of "Going To A Go-Go".  Greetings and gratitude to all involved!

I finally found a way to get my man Moon Martin onto one of these compilations, with his version of "Boogie Woogie Country Girl" (with Jude Cole on guitar and BV).  There's a swell set of Moon Martin classics over at One Buck Guy's blog.  

They aren't all punks (there's some new wave, post punk, garage rock and whatnot), and it's not all soul (disco, funk, and R&B are present). Nevertheless, please enjoy Punks Got Soul #11 as well as Kill Kill Kill (Triple Song Titles #45).

ELSEWHERE ON THE BLOG:  much more Moon Martin.

    Nice ones, Jonder! Note that "Boogie Woogie Country Girl" was done earlier by Moon Martin, before going solo he was in a band called Southwind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ubTkT1PXqQ

      Well spotted, sir! Decades later, a snippet of a Southwind tune somehow caught the ears of hip hop producers, and it lives on as a sample:

    Hope you can help. Love your site but having trouble recently downloading your entries. Using Firefox as my browser the BROWSER NOT SUPPORTED message appears. Firefox has always worked in the past. Now the downloaded folders are empty. Other than changing my browser, any suggestions? Many thanks

    Hi Anonymous. I'm not certain why you're having an issue--it's almost always browser related in my experience.

    Maybe google a shortened version of what you described above and see if the interwebs has any insight.

    I did download & repost Jon's comp for you though. It could disappear at any time, so strike while the iron is hot!
