Drum roll please.....
Pulp - Disco 2000
There it is folks!!!!
200 weeks doing Three Tune Tuesday, Christ on a bike, I'm some man for sticking with habits!! I'm not sure whether I'll make it to week 300 to be totally honest, as life just gets busier for me with work, kids, home, life etc, but sure we'll see how it goes and for one day only, let's celebrate 200 weeks of Three Tune Tuesday.
I was trying to think of some tunes with 200 in them or somehow related to the number 200, and that's when Disco 2000 popped into my head, not quite 200 but 2000/10 will do...
Funny story about Pulp and lead singer Jarvis Cocker. In my younger days I worked as a house porter in a hotel in Galway and yours truly was staying in the hotel and I brought his room service up to him. No hello, no tip, no thanks even, a proper dick! Wayne Carr would have been a better name for this lad, but he can sing to be fair..
I'm even posting this at exactly 2:00 for dramatic effect!!
Johnny Cash - The Folk Singer
On we go in search of 200 related songs, which led me to this Johnny Cash number which says "Born 200 years too late and 200 years too soon" in the lyrics.... That'll do Pig... That'll do...
As I walk these narrow streets
Where a million passing feet have tried before me
With my guitar in my hand suddenly I realize nobody knows me
Where yesterday the multitude screamed and cried my name out for a song
The day the streets are empty and the crowds have all gone home
I pass a million houses, but there is no place where I belong
All I knew to give it was song after song after song
All the truth I try to tell you were as distant to you as the moon
Born 200 years too late and 200 years too soon
I'm a child of this age, locked inside the pages of your book
And when I am but dust and clay and other children stop take look
Well they marble at the miracles I did before them
And to the heights I did inspired
Or will they tear out the pages of the book to light a fire
With the rain on my face there is no place where I belong
Did you forget the folk singer so soon?
And did you forget my song?
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Now there's a bloody song to see out week 200 with folks, an absolute classic and an absolute beauty of a tune.
Ya ya ya, good tune, but 200? What you talking about.... Wait for it... It's in there...
200 weeks.
Loads of friends made across almost every continent - still waiting on a scientist from Antarctica to discover Three Tune Tuesday!
Anyway thanks to each and every one of you who have taken part over the years. It's been fun and always cool discovering funky new music.
Three Tune Tuesday
That's right, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 200th week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.
It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Over the years, I have listened to fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interacted with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below.
