10 Songs in Under 30 Minutes
Get ready for a journey back in time! Friday at work I spent a lot of time
listening to music on Pandora. Unsure of
what I was in the mood for, I kept changing my station. Finally I landed on an Oldies station and it kept
me happy all afternoon. So here’s a
confession – I love Oldies. I am talking
1950s-1970s Oldies. As I was listening
to the station, I kept getting disappointed with how short the songs all
were. Fortunately, there is so much good
music in that genre that I was always excited to hear what was next. So I thought I’d share some of the great
Oldies that came up, 10 songs that can be listened to in less than 30 minutes.
1.
Sugar, Sugar – The Archies – This is one of my
favorites!
2.
Earth Angel – The Temptations (is that the
correct original artist?)
3.
Dream Lover – Bobby Darin
4.
Walk Like a Man – The Four Seasons – This reminded
me of going to see Jersey Boys with Anissa and her family a couple years
ago. What a treat – such an amazing
show!
5.
The Twist – Chubby Checker
6.
The Loco-Motion – Little Eva – Just a funny
song!
7.
Yakety Yak – The Coasters – This takes me back
to when I was a little kid living in Cleveland.
I remember cruising with my sisters and Aunt Shelley in her Astro Van
and rocking out to this song and Jerry Lee Lewis’ Great Balls of Fire. Some of my fondest memories of living in
Cleveland.
8.
All I Have to Do is Dream – Everly Brothers – I have
a random connection with this song. My
sisters were obsessed with the movie Lady Bugs and I am pretty sure this song
is in there. Every time I hear it I
think of that terrible movie.
9.
Be My Baby – The Ronettes – I don’t know why I
do, but I love this song. A great
example of that Oldies sound I love.
10.
In the Still of the Night – The Five Satins –We sang
this song one year in high school choir and I have enjoyed it ever since. So great!
Not a comprehensive list, but some great tunes and a great
way to get through a Friday afternoon after a long week.
