A Song for Everything

[PicassosPleasure]

Non-pop song by a pop singer (thinking along the lines of her Mexican music.)

Okay, you asked for it...The Osmonds doing a Stevie Wonder medley.

Floor

Floor

As in, it doesn't get any lower than the Osmonds singing Motown

This tune is not "floor" but it's "floor-adjacent."

I don’t even know what that means… no idea whatsoever.

Does anyone?

Just go for it - free associate. Probably Robert Hunter was doing that when he wrote it.

I got this one. He obviously has a song in mind. Once I find it I'll give him the clue of clues and see how well he can handle it.

And there ya go.

"In David Gans's Conversations with the Dead, Hunter says: "I think ‘Ramble On Rose’ is the closest to complete whimsy I've come up with. I just sat down and wrote numerous verses that tied around ‘Did you say...’ "

Well... not really an answer... but the title just (to me)... screams The Monkees! Why? Because they had some pretty out there songs...

So next, my mind says what is the most bonkers example of awesome musicianship in a Monkees song? Perhaps Louis Shelton's astounding off the cuff flamingo guitar playing he did as a joke on the song.... Valleri... (which is my mother's name).

The Monkees - Valleri

Does this answer the question? I dunno. Only Dirk knows for sure... and Picasso has picked up the challenge.... but being me, I had to try....

You are wise!

Follow the link and you'll hear Billy Sunday in a shotgun ragtime band. The title of this piece is "BS," and that doesn't stand for Billy Sunday.

Follow This Link

The next clue for @DirkCamacho is David Bowie and Ella Fitzgerald singing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" on the Ed Sullivan Show.

For everyone else, the next clue is "Seriously?"

Sure, this answers the thread. So does Picasso's Billy Sunday video, but you were first. Since I can't find Bowie and Ella singing Simon and Garfunkel, and I can't find a Bruce song to work with "seriously," (yes, stumped!!) it's up to you to put a prompt on this Monkees monstrosity. Either that or I'll have to post "Radio Radio" because he was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver when the switch broke 'cause it's old.

 

[DirkCamacho]

Ya know, someone could just post a ragtime song. How about "The Sting?"

Seriously

Unbelievable

Unforgettable

So they never cross your mind"

[BrendaBear]

… on this Monkees monstrosity. Either that …

WHAT WHAT WHAT???

Fine. I expect you to perform this song on guitar tomorrow…. Since it is “a monstrosity”…

Thank you for the update!
