March

• March 31, 2007: Jimmy Buffett:Margaritaville nominated by Jeff.

This is just a classic song that always makes me relax.

• March 30, 2007: Green Day:Wake Me Up When September Ends nominated by Khluvr621.

This was my personal song/music video to relate to last year when my husband deployed overseas; as he came back the first week of October.

• March 29, 2007: Jimmy Eat World:The Middle nominated by Will.

Just be yourself. It's the central theme of the song. I'm not a popular person, and this song is pretty much my life theme (except for the fact that it is written to a girl). I really don't care what "the others" think, I just try to be myself.

• March 28, 2007: Traveling Wilburys:Wilbury Twist nominated by Kiefer.

This song about a bizarre dance by George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, and Tom Petty (AKA the Traveling Wilburys) is pure fun and wonderfully infectious. (The good kind...not the antibiotic cream kind.) Any dance where falling on your ass is part of the instructions has got to be good, right?

• March 27, 2007: Queen:Tie Your Mother Down nominated by Kiefer.

The liner notes to Queen's A Day At The Races has a quote about this song from the Times: "Sheer bloody poetry." True enough. Written by Brian May, Tie Your Mother Down is a song with the full-gusto, gotta-have-it-tonight attitude of a horny teen who finds his girl's family in the way of the two of them being able to Get Down, Make Love. Poetry, indeed.

• March 26, 2007: Big & Rich:Wild West Show nominated by JeffASaul.

I wanted to know the Lyrics of this song and that is how I came to this site. So this will be my first Song of the Day.

• March 25, 2007: Billy Joel:Prelude/Angry Young Man nominated by Kiefer.

While James Dean may have been a Rebel Without a Cause, some rebels just uselessly and endlessly crack their heads against a brick wall of futility. This song is a story of just such a rebel with a "pointless point of view." When rebellion is a character trait and not a temporary rage against injustice, can such a person ever be taken seriously? Much of Billy Joel's Top 40 stuff is fluff, but this one is sharply written and shows his piano-playing skills well.

• March 24, 2007: People Are Strange nominated by darthdurden.

Because people are strange. Doors are strange. Honorable mention to Echo And The Bunnymen for their cover of this song in the intro of The Lost Boys.

• March 23, 2007: Trace Adkins:Honky Tonk Badonkadonk nominated by Sean Colombo.

To whom it may concern: you have quite a nice badonkadonk... see you tonight! :D

• March 22, 2007: Radiohead:Motion Picture Soundtrack nominated by 71.76.255.161.

This song features some of the most powerful emotion evident in any radiohead song, which is saying a lot. Really makes you think about life, and what comes after....

• March 21, 2007: Van Halen:Panama nominated by Kiefer.

Van Halen was recently inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, and this song shows why they deserve to be there. From the very first pulsating drumbeats and acrobatic guitar licks to the sudden, orgasmic ending, this song howls with pure rockitude all the way through. So buckle your seatbelt and take a ride with this "shiny machine."

• March 20, 2007: Tim McGraw:My Best Friend nominated by muddiphuddi214.

This one goes out to my best friend, my heart, my soulmate...the man I'll marry this June...even if he does hate country music. ;-)

• March 19, 2007: John Denver:Rocky Mountain High nominated by Kiefer.

After years of being the unofficial Colorado state song, on March 12, 2007, the Colorado General Assembly made it their second official state song. At one point in the late 70s, John Denver was likely the most famous singer/songwriter in the world, and this song is one of the reasons why. Everybody now: "He was born in the summer of his 27th year..."'

• March 18, 2007: Crush 40:Live and Learn nominated by 65.175.200.57.

I am a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan, and recently I've been thrilled by his latest game, "Sonic and the Secret Rings." What better way to celebrate the game's release than with the adrenaline-pumping theme song of "Sonic Adventure 2?"

• March 17, 2007: They Might Be Giants:Experimental Film nominated by Kiefer.

"The color of infinity inside an empty glass..." Did you ever have a friend that seemed more "arty" than artistic? This They Might Be Giants song is about such a filmmaker who is going to make a movie where at the end your face implodes...even though he doesn't know yet what exactly makes your face implode. The kicker, though, is the Homestar Runner video that was created for the song!

• March 16, 2007: The Prodigy:Spitfire nominated by Sean Colombo.

Keeping with The Prodigy's usual style, there are few but fitting lyrics. They are appropriately belted out by none other than Juliette Lewis. Bonus points for this song because the album is called Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned!

• March 15, 2007: The Kingston Trio:Scotch And Soda nominated by Kiefer.

A song about the inebriation caused by love, this song became Trio member Bob Shane's signature song. Trio member Dave Guard was dating Katie Seaver and when calling on her one day found out that she wasn't home. Her parents and 11-year-old brother entertained Bob & Dave until she returned and with Mrs. Seaver on piano, Mr. Seaver sang this song that they learned on their honeymoon. It's origin is unknown, but the 11-year-old brother grew up to be baseball great Tom Seaver.

• March 14, 2007: Nickelback:If Everyone Cared nominated by Sean gorter.

Truth to be told, this song really records the sorrow of the world, and it really urges the Earth to change. '...Confusing stars with satellites' really depicts how we think in our present time.

• March 13, 2007: The Beatles:Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) nominated by Kiefer.

If anyone ever doubts the profound affect that The Beatles had on popular music, send them here. Thickly layered, but crisply recorded, this song from 40 years ago does not sound aged in the least. Short and sweet, this song is meant to be played at high volume, surrounding you in bass and treble.

• March 12, 2007: Machinae Supremacy:Kings Of The Scene nominated by teknomunk.

Machinae Supremacy has a very unique sound as the only band to my knowledge to use a Commadore 64 sound chip in their music right next to the more electric guitar. This song is particularly good, having an excellent melody and vocals.

• March 11, 2007: Boston:More Than A Feeling nominated by Kiefer.

In honor of Brad Delp, leader singer of Boston, who died this past Friday, March 9th, 2007.

• March 10, 2007: Queen:'39 nominated by Kiefer.

Although '39 has an old-timey feel to it, the song is actually a science fiction story about a group of twenty space explorers who leave Earth for a year. Due to time dilation, however, even though they have aged only a year, 100 years have passed on Earth and everyone they knew is dead and gone. It was written by Queen's guitar god Brian May, who has studied astrophysics. For the complete story, see the Wikipedia article.

• March 09, 2007: They Might Be Giants:Particle Man nominated by Kiefer.

The battle of the millennium: Triangle Man vs. Particle Man. Why doesn't Universe Man step in to stop the brutal fight? Is Particle Man a dot or a speck? Why does Person Man live his life in a garbage can? Who came up with Person Man? Why are there more questions than answers? Who knows? They might be GIANTS!

• March 08, 2007: James Taylor:Cat's In The Cradle nominated by Sean Colombo.

This classic song has been covered numerous times because the lyrics speak to everyone who has let their busy schedule get between them and their family - generation after generation. Some other versions include Ugly Kid Joe, Ricky Skaggs, and Harry Chapin.

• March 07, 2007: Peter Gabriel:Kiss That Frog nominated by Kiefer.

I wonder if anyone besides Peter Gabriel could create such an song. A fairy tale turned sexual double entendre over an infectious, seductive groove, Kiss That Frog is a blast of funky fun. After listening to this song, one no longer has to wonder what Jeremiah was doing with that mighty fine wine.

• March 06, 2007: AC DC:Back In Black nominated by Will.

This song, probably AC DC's most popular song, has a spectacular riff that gets stuck in my head every time I hear it. It is quintessential hard rock music. The song has been featured in numerous commercials (more recently for the Black Moto Razr) and movies (including "School of Rock"), and it has been covered numerous times.

• March 05, 2007: Pink Floyd:High Hopes nominated by Sarcasticswede.

A lyric chosen from this song by Douglas Adams is responsible for the namesake of the album, The Division Bell. A great song, it discusses the things one gains and loses in life. It is also the last song on what is believed to be Pink Floyd's final album.

• March 04, 2007: Five Iron Frenzy:Farewell to Arms nominated by Punching Kittens.

Farewell to Arms has a great message delivered to you by the always catchy upbeat medium of ska. Christian or not, this song is great to listen to when you need something catchy and angry.

• March 03, 2007: Akrasia:Special nominated by Sean Colombo.

An awesome little-known band from Pittsburgh, Akrasia is breaking out... check out the stream of "Special" on Pedlr.

• March 02, 2007: Metallica:One nominated by Mvp7.

Jason Newstead's (former bassist of Metallica) birthday is March 4 and this song shows his contributions to Metallica very well.

• March 01, 2007: The Beatles:Yesterday nominated by Will.

A simple, yet powerful song. This was the first song that I liked by The Beatles and my enthusiasm for their songs has never ceased. This song sends the message to stop flying through life; stop and enjoy the beautiful view before it fades away.
