The lyrics of your song must include a name or a surname or a combination of name and surname. Simple.

In 1986, the CBS news anchor, Dan Rather, was attacked on a New York City sidewalk by a crazed man yelling “Kenneth, what is the frequency.”
The man was convinced that the media was beaming signals into his head, and he was on a mission to determine their frequencies.
Here is a little song about that…

Came across this song with my namesake, never heard it before and it’s a little laid back – at least I know the band

My choice is a classic blast from the past with thought-provoking lyrics and great visuals. Who is still young enough to remember Marlene Dietrich, Zizi Jean aire, Balmain, Aga Kahn and Sasha Distel?

“Living next door to Alice” is a great favourite. Over the years some extra lyrics have been added by the crowds that sing along. I have chosen the early version. However, when going to the “Rattlesnake Diner” in Rivonia with a group of friends for a great night out this song was always a huge crowd-pleaser. It got everyone on the floor singing along with the added lyrics of “who the f… is Alice?” Such fun and no distinction apparent about the varying ages of the crowd. Sing along with any version you fancy!!

I am not a fan of rap, but its setting in this wonderful song by Andrea Bocelli gets my approval. Here is Mia Belle Josephine by SuperCat.
As President Abe Lincoln said, don’t believe everything you read on social media…

This theme’s choice hit me within minutes of reading it. It’s based on good memories of when I was a kid/teenager. With divorced parents, we could only visit my Mom every 2nd Saturday from 9 am-4 pm. She would play music in the car, at the house, or wherever we were – she just loved background music. And she had a lekker Kenwood system at the time.
Sandra was one of her favourites at the time. Of course, these visits were great for many reasons but were even nicer because, for those few hours, we were out of sight of our wicked witch step-mother , so the music always takes us back to those lekker days we spent with Mommy Dearest.
The song is called Maria Magdalena. Enjoy!
