Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (Live in Athens 1987) HD

 So as with so much modern music what exactly did you THINK Peter Gabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer' was about?!

the poster says

"Peter Gabriel's 1986 hit song "Sledgehammer" is fundamentally about desire, passion, and heavy sexual innuendo, using the title and lyrics as a phallic metaphor.”

Wild Mountain Thyme - Bert Jansch

  or end with this stunner . . . . .

Wild Mountain Thyme

Bert Jansch (with Jennifer Warnes back up vocals, & Albert Lee electric guitar)

Bert Jansch does the traditional song, from his 1982 album "Heartbreak." 

this amongst the best and most definitive versions IMHO

if you play one thing today! . . . . 

N.B. it was this towering version of a folk classic I got from Gary Lucas’ Facebook page . . . .🙄

Cass Elliot - Disney Girls (1972) | Guess I’m Dumb

This is kinda straight forward and so like an American Songbook classic . . . . .alongside people like Harry Nilson who could really hold a tune we might sign of the day with some Mama Cass Elliott

Cass Elliot - Disney Girls (1972)

Cass Elliot’s take on the Beach Boys classic is absolutely sublime. 

Well reality, is not for me
