| The only one of this weeks' picks I wasn't immediately familiar with was Lu's pick, so I ran to the ever trusty youtube and pulled it up. I liked it, I'm not really an anime person, but some of the songs they have are pretty good. |

| Snoopy, I Get Around and Unicorn Song.....all of them had me singing and bobbing. Quite a difference in style but all great memories. The last three were awesome as well...who doesn't like Lion King? Sesame Street just speaks for itself. Ask my grandson. lol... Great choices everyone. | ||

| Ok. Thank you for posting the Beach Boys. I had almost forgotten that they were a band that I heard a LOT in my childhood -- they were one of my dad's favorites. So every time we went on a road trip to see the grandparents (at least an 8 hour drive in the family station wagon!) we got to hear lots and lots of cassettes of the Beach Boys. And yes, Cassettes. ;) Some of you young'uns may not know what those are. hehe ;) And the unicorn song ... what a classic ^^ It's a great song and hey, maybe that's what DID happen to the unicorns! :D :D |

| .... another comment because I just thought of something. We should really archive these song lists somewhere (maybe General Chat forum?) so that someone could just go to a single place to see ALLLLL the awesome songs without going back through the news. Hm. <<.>> ^^ |

| That's a great idea, Kami! We really should! I'm not volunteering, though ;P I'm also very curious to know what all the fribbles are in the pile! I keep seeing more and more of them pop up everywhere! :) |

| I really liked all of them. Especially 'Can you feel the love tonight'. Who doesn't like Lion King songs? That song had me wanting to break out the old drumset and think up a percussion part for it...insparation. | ||

| The Unicorn Song was ever a favorite of mine when little, although I would only hear it every now and again on the radio. My father used to play a game with us, and ask me who sang what song. I rarely ever got them right, as names do not seem to stick in my head, but my mother was fairly good at the game. | ||

| Oh, I like to see Can You Feel the Love up there! Definitely a song that I heard many times in my childhood. Of course, it was Bear Necessities from Jungle Book that my dad always sang terribly to us. ...Which worked well because he was a lot like a bear himself. My mom was always partial to You Are So Beautiful by Joe Cocker, but Four Seasons premiered many times as well. With both songs, she would grab my sister and I by the hands and lift, lift us up on to the beds to dance at the same height with her. I want to dance just thinking about them! |

| I dont usually like jingly type songs with a political undertone - but the Snoopy song is very catchy and the clip with it was awesome. I loved the flying doghouse! I bet kids loved singing "bloody red baron" too. The Lion King has great music and Can you Feel the Love Tonight is one of the best. It could have been a song in any romantic movie and it's good to listen to outside the movie too - in it's own right. I love Oh What a Night. I remember hearing it on the car radio when I was a kid and every now and then it will still play. It's just a happy, feel good song. I have it on my ipod now - it's part of my housework songs collection. The Beach Boys have just about the most cheerful, tuneful songs around - I think people will be loving their songs in 50 years! I've never heard the Shaman King before but it sure sounds like the theme song to a show. I have about 100 in my head forever from watching them with the kids. The unicorn song has a very similar feel to other songs I remember from my childhood - Puff the Magic Dragon, the Marvelous Toy - I hope these sort of songs don't get lost and future generations of kids can enjoy the fun and innocence of them. I remember the Kimba song!Its amazing how songs can stay in your head just.... forever. I also remember the muppets song - even though my kids werent really into Sesame Street. We liked the muppets though and I remember taking my neice to see The Muppets take Manhatten when she was about 6. I cried when this song played http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0P5FzSe3qw :D :D |

| Oh my gosh, Can You Feel The Love tonight is one of my favorites on this list. A few months ago I watched the lion king and Can You Feel TheLove Tonight and I Just Can't Wait To Be King are my favorites. They couldn't have made better choices in singers. Great picks this week, keep up the good work! | ||

| wow these are all great songs that take me back to childhood thru motherhood!!! I just love the Four Seasons. They are one of the best vocal groups that have been able to stay around for what seems like forever and are still touring today. And what can you say about the Beach Boys??? They are just awesome too. A group that has managed to keep the same sound through so many member changes (remember when Glen Campbell was a member?) and make us all look forward to fun in the sun. The Lion King and Elton John..sigh...wonderful movie and wonderful song. I think my girls have worn out both the soundtrack cd and the movie!!! I had not seen the clip for Kimba before but my first thought was...did that artist work on the lion King??? The art work was so similar. Snoopy and the Red Baron...now that is a memory. Has been years since I heard that song and the clip was perfect. We are earthlings made me cry....that is one I use to sing with the girls when they were little and we would sit together and watch Sesame Street. It really had a powerful meaning to the words. Great Songs this week!!!! |
