Retro Music Day

Time to start a new month. Given this time holds the U.S. Presidential election and Thanksgiving- both serious in nature to say the least- I thought it might be fun to begin with a little retro inspired late 1970s / early 1980s music.

Michael Jackson may have ruled the airwaves with Thriller and Off The Wall, but he and his brothers could also bring the beat. Destiny includes the toe tapping smash Shake Your Body Down to the Ground. It's a catchy tune that is now once again stuck in my mind.

The Bee Gee's baby brother Andy Gibb rocked with my favorite tune of the year: I Just Want to Be Your Everything. Upon first listen, I was hooked. His duet years later with the beautiful Olivia Newton-John on I Can't Help It remains a favorite, perfect for late night listening.

Who doesn't love September by Earth, Wind & Fire? Its lasting power is evident by the inclusion of the song on Walt Disney World's epic coaster Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Epcot never sounded so cool!

So, here's just a start to a rocking November!

Do You Remember?

We remember every year! Today is the 21st of September, and in honor of my youngest daughter, I want to play this iconic song by Earth Wind & Fire. Of course, I would love to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to this song. Maybe one day, but for now... Ba Dee Ah Dee Ah on!

 

Do You Remember?

Do you remember the twenty-first night of September? 

Love was changing the minds of pretender, while chasing the clouds away 

Our hearts were ringing in the key that our souls were singing 

As we danced in the night, remember how the stars stole the night away

Hey, hey, hey, ba-de-ya, say do you remember? 

Ba-de-ya, dancing in September 

Ba-de-ya, never was a cloudy day

Ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-du-du 

Ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-du-du 

Ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-do-da

My thoughts are with you, holding hands with your heart to see you 

Only blue talk and love, remember how we knew love was here to stay 

Now, December found the love we shared in September 

Only blue talk and love, remember true love we share today

Hey, hey, hey, ba-de-ya, say do you remember? 

Ba-de-ya, dancing in September 

Ba-de-ya, never was a cloudy day

There was a, ba-de-ya (de-ya, de-ya), say do you remember? 

Ba-de-ya (de-ya, de-ya), dancing in September 

Ba-de-ya (de-ya, de-ya), golden dreams were shiny days

The bell was ringing, ha-ha, our souls were singing 

Do you remember never a cloudy day? Yow

There was a, ba-de-ya (de-ya, de-ya), say do you remember? 

Ba-de-ya (de-ya, de-ya), dancing in September 

Ba-de-ya (de-ya, de-ya), never was a cloudy day

And was a, ba-de-ya (de-ya, de-ya), say do you remember? 

Ba-de-ya (de-ya, de-ya), dancing in September 

Ba-de-ya (de-ya, de-ya), golden dreams were shiny days

Ba-de-ya, de-ya, de-ya 

Ba-de-ya, de-ya, de-ya 

Ba-de-ya, de-ya, de-ya, de-ya

Ba-de-ya, de-ya, de-ya 

Ba-de-ya, de-ya, de-ya 

Ba-de-ya, de-ya, de-ya, de-ya

(A favorite song and a decades long family joke. Thanks Earth Wind & Fire!)
