Music Monday
A “your choice” week.
I’ve got a theme. See if you can guess it. I’ll tell you after I play the songs.
If you didn’t guess it by the time Murray Head popped up, surely you figured it out when Sir Paul … yes, all of these songs are pop hits that were originally written for musical theater/Broadway.
It was many years after One Night in Bangkok came out that I discovered that it was written for a Broadway play, although I knew Murray Head sang on the Jesus Christ, Superstar album. And, I never heard the Beatles sing Till There Was You until just now. It's kind of funny that although I have a couple of cousins who are big into Broadway, that spark never ignited me. I did enjoy your set.
ReplyDeleteI figured they were either tied to Broadway or the movies, or both. Nice selection. Well played.
ReplyDeleteI would not have guess in a million years probably. Nonetheless, I enjoyed your music collection for this Monday. Have a boogietastic week, Robin!
ReplyDeleteAt first, I thought it was about love then, One Night in Bangkok came on, and I thought,...huh?! I realized that song came from a flop of a musical. I realized Memories is from Cats; some Enchanted Evening, is from South Pacific and Til There Was You came from the Music Man. Great set!
ReplyDelete“Bangkok” was written for Chess. It was written by the guys from ABBA
DeleteA very cool theme. Loved all the songs.
