The Saturday Shuffle 5

 


The Saturday Shuffle from my gym MP3 player plods on for a 5th week.

The first random song thrown up is Sexuality a song by Billy Bragg from his underrated 1991 album Don't Try This At Home. I'm not sure whether it is gym material or not but there is no denying that it is a fantastic song.

It appears that there are currently 477 songs of the player at the moment (this is shaping up to be a long series) There are 48 tracks on the  Jon Savage's 1968 - The Year the World Burned compilation which featured last week. Therefore if my maths  calculator is correct there is a 10% chance of another song from that compilation featuring this week. Step forward then Tommy James & the Shondells with Crimson and Clover,

We end this week with another complation this time from the Bloodshot label. Hard-Headed Woman is a celebration of the Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson.Bloodshot stalwards the Bottle Rockets provide a cover of her song Let's Stop Kickin' Our Hearts Around with assistance from Sheri Hurst.

More random nonsense next Saturday.If I don't add any further songs we should be finished in another 144 weeks!

  1. When I put the Tommy James song in to Youtube to listen to it, one of selections on the right of the pages was Seasons IN The Sun. I did not play that.

  2. As Ayr United fans are wont to say
    We had joy we had fun
    We had Killie on the run
    But the joy didn't last
    Cos the b******* ran to fast
