Is that jangly guitar loop a riff that was sampled from another song?
Well....its a 2019 song but the spiel says "Musically, it is a retro-inspired funk, hip hop, and funk-pop song that is based on a throwback groove." Which is bollocks for we probably nicked it from somewhere!! It sounds a little like phil fearon's Galaxy songs and one or two other tracks from early 80s funk.
So you thought you would force them on us instead?!!
Good point! I hadn't thought of that. Well, seeing as the neighbor unintentionally (or maybe INtentionally) made it my Song Of The Day, I figured it sort of qualified...
Hmm, it just occurred to me that Jeff and Bob are the only Wilburys left. Damn sad.

Okay, so, I wanted to purposely replace the Wilburys and I wanted something a little tribal at the same time. It should stay in my head the rest of the day. I love this tune--glad to see it's becoming a little more exposed over the years. Kodo: Strobe's Nanafushi (Play loud.)
"Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"- The Brothers Four
The Brothers Four's post JFK Era isn't my preferred work of theirs. Not just because JFK's death was the definitive end of a tragically-brief era, but also because the British Invasion destroyed the folk boom and the music became so damned somber and serious, because so many were in mourning--all of the ebullience was gone.
The quality of the Brothers' versions of Beatles and Dylan tunes varies widely ("Revolution" is a joke; "Help!" is decent), but they can boast, hands down, the greatest version of Dylan's kiss-off masterpiece, "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right." There's no acrimony in Bob "Husband of Loni Anderson" Flick's vocal, only the knowledge of a sorrowful conclusion of a relationship. Brilliant song and a brilliant performance.
I didn't wake up with this in my head, but it's been in it all afternoon. I don't have very much by her, but this is one I just love since first hearing it in the late '70's. The tonality of her voice is so pure.
I love this song by Coldplay. I love the guitars, the gorgeous strings, the drums, but mainly I love the rather profound lyrics.
Joan, I'm not sure what to think about that Coldplay song ever since its similarity to Cat Stevens' "Heaven" was pointed out years ago. Plagiarism or homage? I don't know.
Anyway, continuing on today from the feelings inspired by Miriam Makeba (it seems like I always follow one with the other when I dig them out), this is another favorite earworm of mine. When I hear it I instantly feel like I'm on vacation--without fail. Mighty Sparrow, "Music And Rhythm":
