Day 15 - A live track
Gnarls Barkley - Reckoner
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AGU...
Found this from some video about Radiohead covers which didn't just play the song verbatim but added something.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 14 - With "Hot" or "Cold" in the title
Katy Perry - Hot n Cold
www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTHN...
Got to love some Katy, at least up to Prism.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 13 - A comfort song
Radiohead - Exit Music (For a Film)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf01...
I don't know I really have comfort music, but this is off one of the first albums of my adult life and it is genuinely emotional.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 12 - A one-word four-letter song
Avril Lavigne - Push
www.youtube.com/watch?v=35pi...
This was quite a tricky one, no media player will filter by song name length, and I didn't want to be obvious with Pink Floyd's Time. Avril's 4th and 5th albums were her best, underrated.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 11 - A song from one of your first concerts
Interpol - Specialist
www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4HW...
I saw Interpol in Bristol in 2004, first gig of my adult life.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 10 - A song with "song" in the title
Little Mix - Break Up Song
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zte1...
Other considerations: Don't Download This Song by Weird Al, Bought for a Song by Fountains of Wayne, Pyramid Song by Radiohead.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 9 - A song with before, after, until, or since in the title
Weird Al Yankovic - Since You've Been Gone
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUr3...
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 8 - A song featuring somewhere you've visited
Muse - Verona
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN1O...
I would not personally recommend visiting Verona, it was definitely the low-point of our European rail trip, in spite of a morning spent at a Swiss hospital.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 7 - A song with an amazing first line
Radiohead - A Wolf at the Door (It Girl, Rag Doll)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6isz...
This song is more or less one single breath, or edited that way anyway.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 6 - A song with a relation in the title
Barclay James Harvest - Mother Dear
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg23...
I had this on a tape we got from the library when I was about six. It was only later I learnt it's not about a deer.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 5 - A song from an album whose cover you love
Lupe Fiasco ft Skylar Gray - Words I Never Said
www.youtube.com/watch?v=22l1...
It always tickled me how the album art says LOSERS, and the O switched out for an anarchy A. Came across this song on Colbert and it blew me away.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 4 - A more obscure song by a well-known artist
Debbie Harry (from Blondie) - Rush Rush
www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWNK...
I of course know this from the GTA3 soundtrack.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 3 - An acoustic or remix version
Crystal Fighters - At Home [Acoustic]
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLkV...
Came across this song because it was the campaign song for the winning candidate for @uniofnottingham.bsky.social Students' Union President back in 2013.
#DavidsMonthOfMusic
Day 1 - A One-Hit Wonder
Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNi...
I think it's safe to say the only true way to know whether something is a one-hit wonder is if Todd in the Shadows has done a video about it.
