What Ever Happened To....?

 Happy Easter! and since it's the long weekend, we here at Song Of The Day thought we'd bring you one of our much revered theme weeks! This week's theme is "What Ever Happened To?" And since it was suggested by our very own Mr. T....he get's to go first!

Mr. T

Nelly Furtado - "I'm Like A Bird"

Mr. T: "What Happened To Her?"

G-Man: "I Think she is basically being a mom now"

Mr. T: "That's a full time gig! I wouldn't know but Blondie has to take care of me and apparently that's not easy"

G-Man: "Haha, I remember what happened when you tried to dress yourself that one time..."

Mr. T: "We all have skills in life...but not all the skills..."

G-Man

Live - "Turn My Head"

I know these guys signed a huge record contract after or just before Throwing Copper. That can go one of two ways for a band, a successful career with longevity or fading into obscurity. However, my theory is that their name also did them in, especially in the internet era. Searching for Live or Live Band or Live Music or Live songs....you'd need to be very specific with your searches and let's face, most internet users just ain't it

Doug

Nina Simone - "Feeling Good"

What happened, Miss Simone?

Dano

Cake - "Long Line Of Cars"

Jonny HP

Mondo Cozmo - "Tonight Tonight"

Mike D

3Oh!3 - "Don't Trust Me"

J.B.

t.A.T.u - "All The Things She Said"

Whatever happened to Tatu? This song (and video) caused a pretty massive stir in the early 2000s....

Mr. T

Ziggy Marley - "Love Is My Religion"

G-Man

John Frusciante - "Omission"

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are back with new material! With the classic line up of Kiedis, Smith, Flea and Frusciante! And here I am still stuck on Frusciante's solo 2004 album. So many layers to get lost in. So many magical turns and corners. Add this one to your "Must Hear" list if you don't already know it

Doug

A Tribe Called Quest - "Scenario"

Dano

Morcheeba - "World Looking In"

Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Lights - "Okay, Okay"

Time to catch a vibe

Lust Capsule

Mr. T

Nelly Furtado - "Parking Lot"

G-Man

Goo Goo Dolls - "Black Balloon"

Always been a fan of John Rzeznik's writing skills. Some of the best and most indelible 90's alt-rock songs came from the Goo Goo Dolls. This was the fourth, I think, single from Dizzy Up The Girl, but I also enjoyed it the most. Listening to it again after all these years, really see it in a different light. 20 plus years, faded away so fast

Doug

Onyx - "Slam"

Dano

The Wailin' Jennys - "The Devil's Paintbrush Road"

Jonny HP

Plague Vendor - "Locomotive"

Mike D

The Halluci Nation - "Land Back" feat. The Beat & A Northern Voice

J.B.

Alfa Mist - "Mind The Gap" feat. Lex Amor

If you're looking for some Acid Jazz escapes, definitely check out Alfa Mist. Actually, even if you aren't an Acid Jazz aficiando, fear not. There is a place for you here.

Mr. T

Styx - "Blue Collar Man"

G-Man

Prong - "Revenge...Best Served Cold"

Love going down musical rabbit holes and seeing a band's name that I completely forgot existed. Prong were in the same circles as Type O Negative, Therapy? and Helmet in the 90's. Though this track is from a later album in 2012, they didn't lose their edge. Love the guitar tones in this one!

Doug

Imagine Dragons x JID - "Enemy"

Dano

Gnarls Barkley - "Crazy"

Jonny HP

Metallica - "Creeping Death"

Mike D

Katy Perry - "One Of The Boys"

Lights - "Running With The Boys"

J.B.

The War On Drugs - "Under The Pressure"

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

 

You all good out there? Another St. Patrick's Day is in the books and this one might have had a different feel from the last few as COVID restrictions are finally beginning to ease. Some of your favourite watering holes and juke joints may have been rejuvinated with the sounds of merry men and women once again. Let's see how the Song Of The Day boys celebrated...

Rob

TBD

Mr. T

The Irish Rovers - "Black Velvet Band"

G-Man

High Contrast - "Racing Green"

Maybe not a song that typically comes to mind when thinking about St Paddy's Day music, but it's one of the best songs i've been introduced to recently and hey, it's got Green in it's title!

Doug

Bing Crosby - "McNamara's Band"

Dano

The Town Pants - "New South Wales"

Jonny HP

Cutting Crew - "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight"

Catchy as fuck. Good luck not singing along

Mike D

Lights - "In My Head" feat. Josh Dun

J.B.

Faithless - "Woozy"

Faithless got their start back in 1994 and have been pumping out jams that have catered more to the Euro Dance scene. Albeit, they're worth a listen to and a deeper dive into their catalog is bound to leave you with a few new favourites

Panthalassa

Mr. T

Black Uhuru - "Sponji Reggae"

G-Man

Alice In Chains - "Rooster"

Saw this video again the other day. Hadn't seen it probably since I was a teenager. Just hit me different this time around. Words, images, actions, thoughts, sounds. Are all hitting different this time around.

Doug

Wu-Tang Clan - "Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'"

Dano

Scissor Sisters - "I Can't Decide"

Jonny HP

Foals - "2am"

Mr. T

Christina Aguilera - "Come On Over"

G-Man

The Hives - "A.K.A I-D-I-O-T"

I didn't even know this album existed until recently. Guess I never dove too deep into The Hives, but man.... i'm telling ya. This song has whatever it is you need to get there. Love the youthful energy, the raw feel and unpolished punk awesomeness. Enjoy!

Doug

Bush - "Machinehead"

Funny thing about this pick is I got it mixed up with an Econoline Crush video. Figured it out though

Dano

Lorde - "Bravado"

Jonny HP

Coheed & Cambria - "The Liar's Club"

Slaves - "The Hunter"

Mike D

Alessia Cara & The Warning - "Enter Sandman"

J.B

US3 - "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)"
