S-sitting down by my window,
Oh, looking at the rain.
S-sitting down by my window now now,
All around I felt it,
All I could see was the rain.
Something grabbed a hold of me, honey,
Felt to me honey like, lord, a ball and chain.
Ball And Chain ~ Janis Joplin
The "Duck" was heard to quack the following as he nibbled his morning corn:
"Hi everyone! It's time for another Mambo, so get your dancing shoes ready. Today's theme is National Nothing Day. That's not good, because I need SOMETHING to ask you. So I'll focus this week's Mambo on the subject of wet weather - because that's what we've got here in your mememeister's living area!"
1. Name three songs that have the word "rain" or "water" in the title.
a. I Love A Rainy Night – Eddie Rabbit, b. I Wish It Would Rain Down – Phil Collins and Eric Clapton, c. Who'll Stop The Rain? - Creadance Clearwater Revival.
2. Ever been to a concert where it was raining? If not, is there a band or festival that you would want to see even if it meant standing in the rain?
I seem to recall sitting in the grand stand at the Bangor State Fair, rain coming down in buckets, waiting for Janis Joplin & BigBrother and the Holding Company back in the late-mid-sixties. The band wouldn't come out of the bus until it stopped raining as one of the guitarists had gotten “lifted” (ie. electrocuted) when he plugged in his axe. The session got underway late, under the lights of the racetrack as they'd cancelled the racing because the track was too wet and that made it unsafe for the horses. Gots to love agricultural shows – nevermind frying humans, but we can't have horses slipping in the mud...
3. You're a movie producer, and you need a soundtrack for a weather scene. Pick songs that you think would fit with the following pieces of action:
a) Clouds coming in - a hard rain's a-gonna fall – bob dylan
b) Rain starts to fall, wind starts to blow – Riders On The Storm - Doors
c) Sun finally comes along and makes everything better again – Here Comes The Sun – The Beatles.
“Duck” went on to say, “Ok, that's all the work I'll make your brain do for today.
The rules are, there are no rules!!! All you need to do is copy and paste the above questions into your blog and add your responses. After you've finished, return here and leave us a comment so we'll know you've Mamboed. Be sure your Mambo is linked back to http://bdinsanity.blogdrive.com so others can dance too.
Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. If one of the questions doesn't inspire you then simply "pass" it. Just use your imagination and dance like crazy!
If you don't have a blog or you're an exhibitionist *woo hoo* feel free to Mambo right here in [his] comments section. There's absolutely no pressure ... although it's called the Monday Music Mambo you can Mambo on any day.
Until next time, this is your music-lovin' Mememeister saying have a good Monday and a good Mambo!
