86 The last song you added to your playlist

Tom Petty, with the Bangles in the chorus. What more can I ask for? =)

Waiting for Tonight —
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Day 2 - The Specimen - A song that stands for my favourite music genre

Asking for a favourite genre is like asking for a favourite song, but probably my first favourite was grunge, so I'm gonna go with that. And I'm gonna go with an angry, defensive pick

High-Fiving MF - Local H

85 A song that reminds you of spring

While this is technically a heartbreak song, every time I hear it I think of spring. Theoretically I should like more the spanish version, but this is the original…=)

Maledetta primavera — Loretta Goggi

Starting up again, with 30 more songs

Day 1 - New Born - This is the first song of my life that I remember

It's probably gonna be the chorus to:

The Unicorn - Shel Silverstein

as my dad used to sing this #Folk song chorus all the time

Day 79: The opening track to your favorite album

Oh, goodness. I don't have a favorite album. I used to have favorites back w tapes & CDs. I listen to whole albums. But I don't have favorites anymore.

I'll do the opening track to the last full album I listened to - which was Royal Blood's Back to the Water Below. The opening track is Mountains at Midnight.

84 A song you hear in a café/restaurant

There was a café that had classical music as its theme. The was even a few instruments (cymbals, xylophone, and a harp being the big ones) as decoration. There I listened to this, one of the owner's favorites:

Rhapsodie Espagnole — Maurice Ravel

Day 78: A song that tells a story

I already did my picks for this one 😬 😂

I looked at my StorySeed playlist and am going to do a throwback to

Stay by Shakespears Sister

https://youtu.be/YCYaALgW80c?si=UzfkbK-XjL_UOsiL

I'm not sure if I've ever watched the video before (we didn't have cable growing up.) I'm highly entertained this afternoon.

DAY 36 - MISHEARD LYRICS

My usual standbys are "Dickhead for Love" by Robert Palmer and "You Can Go and Get Stuffed (When the Tough get Going)" by Billy Ocean.

But I seriously thought that in "Twisting the Night Away," Rockin' Rod Stewart was seriously telling us that the man in evening clothes was "dancing with the chicken's legs." Turns out he was "dancing with the chick in slacks."

83 A song you'd want to hear at a concert

This is an underrated song. A masterpiece (even if the version in this video isn't the full version). I'd love to hear this live (and in the 80s). From Jim Steinman's mind:

Read 'en and weep — Barry Manilow

Day 77: A song you'd choose for karaoke

I once chose Madness by Muse to sing for karaoke but I didn't follow through and I doubt I'd ever get up on a karaoke stage at this point.

The Singalong

A Song You know all the lyrics to.

Nina Simone- My Baby Just Cares For Me

82 A song by your favorite band

Like one of the commenters in the link says, I don't understand why this song isn't more popular. The guitar solo alone is a work of art. Enjoy, and remember that

You don't fool me — Queen

Day 76: A song that makes you want to go on an adventure

I'm going to approach this question sideways because I'm not well today and my initial response was too cranky.

The Heavenly Tyrant playlist from Xiran Jay Zhao makes me want to go on the adventure and read that book.

Day 38: Didn’t like it but now I do.

#30moresongschallenge

Like a fine wine, my taste in music has definitely evolved over the years.
As a teenager I had no appreciation for :

Bruce Springsteen
The Rolling Stones
Stealy Dan

Better late then never figuring out that I absolutely love these bands now. 💜

81 A song you discovered by pure chance

This song is theoretically from an anime I like (Say "I love you"), but I found this by pure chance, on a playlist…=)

Universe — Suenohair

DAY 34 The Guilty Pleasure

You'll never admit you listen to this song.

I don't have many musical pleasures - if you like it own it.

But I do have songs that my wife makes me turn off.

80 A song by an artist no longer alive

And, just because why the hell not, (almost) the same song, but with cats (and those are Freddie's cats). From the anime series "Great Pretender":

The Great Pretender — Freddie Mercury

Day 74: A song that calms you down

My favorite song does that, but I've used it before. Another calming song is

The Wood Song by Indigo Girls

The melody is calming and the words are reassuring.
