No Sunday Comics today (they will be back next week, I promise). Instead, here is a selection of songs to help you crank up your Sunday.
First, a couple of hits from the Canadian rock band Steppenwolf . The first one, “Born to be Wild” was included in the soundtrack for the 1969 cult film classic “Easy Rider” starring Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper. Incidentally, though STEPPENWOLF was (technically, the band is still alive) a Canadian band, its lead singer John Kay (real name, Joachim Fritz Krauledat) was born in Germany.
STEPPENWOLF – Born to be Wild
STEPPENWOLF – Magic Carpet Ride
The following song was a hit for British pop band JIGSAW. The song was released in 1975 and it climbed all the way to the #5 spot in the British pop charts. The band JIGSAW never reached #10 status with any of their other songs.
JIGSAW – You’ve Blown It All Sky High
This is, without a doubt, one of the most romantic songs to come out of the 1950’s.
THE PLATTERS – Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
Wayne Cochran, a blues singer, wrote the last song, “The Last Kiss.” He performed the song with his band, C.C. RIDERS. The “Last Kiss” was not a big hit for Wayne; later covers, however, by J. Frank Wilson and Pearl Jam became hits.
PEARL JAM – The Last Kiss
J. FRANK WILSON - The Last Kiss
For those who speak Spanish, here is a Spanish of The Last Kiss.
LOS DOLTONS – El Ultimo Beso (The Last Kiss)
Finally, here is a Dalmatian who really knows how to get around. Rumor has it that he is training for the 2010 Tour de France, so watch out Lance Armstrong, this dog has some strong legs (four to be precise). I also hear that the Dalmatian has been seen training in a secret camp, in Limoges, France. ARC, are you taking this dog with you to the top of Mt. Ventoux.
