Edvard Grieg - Morning Mood

Most of Mozarts requiem - Lacrimosa in particular

Every time I hear it,….I get goose bumps (especially at a baseball game or even while watching a game on TeeVee). I think almost everyone feels the same way when they hear their National Anthem.

God Bless America is Not the national Anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem

Please try not to give all the American Bashers any more ammunition willya?

The Sovjet Anthem was actually composed upon orders from Stalin something like half a century after Tchaikovsky's death, during WW2. The Sovjet republic had used the internationale, but Staln felt the republic needed its own anthem, not a song that was by then largely associated with the global communist movement, rather than the Sovjet state.

But I will admit to being rather found of much of the music and literature that came out of Russia/Sovjet over the past 200 years or so.......

Me too. It's sooooo Russian.

Here's one for Scampy.

I Wanna Talk About Me - Toby Keith

Still trying to get a copy of the one Billy Connely reckons could be the best C & W song ever -combining all elements required - family-tragedy-illness- religon and murder.

My Grandmother drowned in the fountain at Lourdes 'cos a cripple pushed her in !!

"Feel like shit - deja vu" by Suicidal Tendencies.

You Never Even Called Me by My Name (The Perfect Country and Western Song) - David Allan Coe

Any song by the manic depressive Hank Williams does it for me !!! All great stuff !

Normally, I can't stand Country music. But they do have funny lyrics.

I'm not sure if, My Heart Will Go On, is a happy sad song, but it definitely makes me want to tear my ears off every time I hear it.

I always liked this one. Happy sad as in the Ghost soundtrack.

Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers

'Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves' Nice Vid of Cher when she was darn hot!




Another Cher song 'Half Breed.'




Cherokee Nation - Paul Revere and the Raiders
