1. reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter
2. List 5 songs you like that start with that letter
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.
Right, Mrs Ed has given me the letter "W"... which is proving tricky. I can think of songs that start with W no problem, but finding songs that I really like that start with a W....
1. I shall have to start with "When you Wish Upon a Star" by Louis Armstrong. Hardly surprising a Disney song makes it onto the list, given my predilection for cutesy animated musical film, however this one is a little different! Its one of three covers of Disney classics I have by Louis Armstrong, and out of the three it is my favourite (the others are Bibbidy-Bobbidy-Boo from Cinderella and The Bear Necessities from The Jungle Book). I quite like the song anyway (Pinocchio is not a favourite) but this version is fantastic. Wonderful trumpet solo instrumental bit in the middle, plus I love Louis Armstrong's voice.
2. Next is "Way Beyond Blue" by Catatonia which, given my tender years, I first heard when I was 10 or so. Its my favourite Catatonia track, and I much prefer the acoustic version my brother included for me on one of the many mix tapes he made me (alas the tape its on is probaly lost).
3. Keeping with the Welsh theme, "Whats New Pussycat" by Tom Jones. Not my favourite Tom Jones track by any means, but one I love enough to have as my ringtone on my mobile. Also think it would make a great track to do a Viennese Waltz to.
4. "Wasted Youth" by Meat Loaf I'll add because of the intro, with the kid and the guitar. "Stop! Wait a minute! Stop it boy! What do you think you're doing! Thats no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!". Fantastic.
5. and finally, we'll go with "When I'm 64" by the Beatles, because I love the Beatles and this is one of my favourites of their songs.
only took me a few hours, but I got there in the end!
