Alec escorted Sasha down the aisle to this one. They looked so good. Darn you, Facebook, now you're making me cry.
Day 14: Con Te Partirò / Andrea Bocelli
Day 13: Maggie May / Rod Stewart
Day 12: Night Chicago Died / Paperlace
Sometime around 1973-74, my parents gave me an old hand-me-down mono record player. One of my best friends at the time -- wonder what happened to Chad -- turned me on to this song. I got an LP called Dynamite which was one of the first compilation albums from K-Tel. Remember them? "The Night Chicago Died" and others from that album were my first exposures to Pop and Rock.
Day 11: Olympic Fanfare & Theme / John Williams
Day 10: Adagio for Strings / Samuel Barber
Day 09: Bohemian Rhapsody / Queen
Sure, it's the lament of a young man who expects the death penalty because he has just killed someone execution style, but... It's impossible to not loudly sing along and then bobbing your head when the fast part starts. It's just plain fun.
Day 08: Rehab / Amy Winehouse
Day 07: No Particular Place to Go / Chuck Berry
In 1985 Chuck Berry recorded a version of this song for a Volkswagen GTI commercial. A couple of years later, I lived in Monterey, CA and got to drive my GTI regularly on the famous Highway 1 along the Pacific coast. The commercial version would ring through my head as I drove the most fun car I've ever owned.
Day 06: Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go / Wham!
(He says in a slightly embarrassed voice.)
