Good morning #JukeboxFridayNight
Your playlist of #Extremes is finalised and ready: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZe9K6g9lwnRdrLsQODp1TVLgs0_Ivpwr
I had to delete the one from yesterday and recreate this morning. An API error had duplicated over 200 tracks!
Did a fresh, clean run this morning, and we now have a de-duplicated, 258 track playlist.
Tina Turner - River Deep Mountain High (live in 2000)
Julie Andrews - My Favorite Things (from The Sound of Music film)
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Garbage - Queer
https://song.link/i/1440835504
"The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb"
Bob Dylan - Tryin’ to Get to Heaven
The air is getting hotter
There’s a rumbling in the skies
I’ve been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before
I’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
(live and rough)

The Offspring with Ed Sheeran - "Million Miles Away"
( a long way for 9YO Ed to come to be singing his favourite song with the band now he's grown)
There was a time, looking through myself
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped, I could fill myself
I don't think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
When I went away, what I really left
Left behind was me
It's telling me
To be on my way
Home
Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World
If you love somebody
Better tell them while they're here 'cause
They just may run away from you
You'll never know quite when, well
Then again, it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all, but life keeps moving
American Authors - Best Day Of My Life
I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high, I touched the clouds
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced with monsters through the night
I'm never gonna look back, woah
I'm never gonna give it up, no
Please don't wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
I howled at the moon with friends
And then the sun came crashing in
But all the possibilities
No limits, just epiphanies
Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil
(expressing this sympathy would be an extreme position in some lands. like the actions he boasts of)
https://youtu.be/Jwtyn-L-2gQ
No satisfaction? An extreme state!
ROLLING STONES - "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"
https://youtu.be/NEjkftp7J7I
DEVO - "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (covering Rolling Stones)
Split Enz - Shark Attack
(pretty extreme to call love a shark attack)
Love's got teeth and she bites so hard
Leaving you for dead like a deadly shark
And she doesn't leave a lot to be saved
I was swimming in the harbour of your smile
Splashing in the ocean like a child
I didn't know what dangers lurked there
Just beyond the waves - Shark attack!
Well she chewed me up and she spat me out
I didn't want to meet a maneater
Shark attack!
Stan Walker - Bigger
It starts to make you think, "What does it matter?"
'Cause there'll always be minds that you'll never change
So listen to your wild dreams
The ones that make you crazy
They're telling you the right things
Why we gotta think so small?
When we can be bigger, bigger than this
Listen to that good song beating in your chest
Don't be scared to stray too far from the river
You can be bigger, we can be bigger, bigger
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street OST - 'Epiphany'
DARTZ - Paradise
(an ode to real estate with some swearing in lyrics, and a cocaine rat as Aotearoa New Zealand doesn't have bears)
You look down your nose at us 'cause you think we don't belong hеre
This town of bad architecture, it's a grеat place to be blonde here
You built your house on stolen land but we're gonna reclaim the beach now
Imma roll up and spread out on my '97 Digimon beach towel
Feelings at the #Extremes, as propitiated by heightened states of being.
Moon Hooch - Contra
https://youtu.be/Mvvo9PfB0h4
Blam Blam Blam - (There is ) No Depression in New Zealand
(it was an extreme saying at the time and it's even more so now).
@fc This could fit the #JukeboxFridayNight theme of #Extremes too!
Romeo Void, “Never Say Never” from Benefactor, 1982
