Request Line: Days

As much as I like to complain that we’ve already done every single topic under the sun as far as Request Line is concerned, from time to time I realize that isn’t quite the case.  Case in point: a certain anniversary is coming up and as we were discussing how to properly commemorate it, I realized that the topic “days” has never been done.  Nothing terribly complicated, just songs about “days” of some sort.  Strange days.  Fri-days.  Days of wine and roses.  The first day of your life.  It’s a pretty rich class.

So without further ado, let’s cut loose and get to requestin’.  Sorry I don’t have a more entertaining lead-in to contribute – I’ve been the belle of the ball as far as contract work is concerned lately – but stay tuned next week as I’ll be compiling an edition of “Cabin Fever” where we share some slices of our current life, along with vaccination experiences from those of us who have been lucky enough to join the club.

I’ll get us started with a request from our old buddy Trent Green.

Doesn’t have it in the title but… “Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3S8pb_MjXg

yeah right

Technically I still have tickets for the end of August at Red Rocks for these guys.

I’ll see what happens.

This the low-hanging fruit:

Possibly a double-shot that inverts on itself

‘Course the low hanging fruit is often the sweetest… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNsCeOV4GM

ArmedandHammered

Especially since it has already been picked. 🙂

SonOfSpam

That fruit is already on the ground and rotting.

BeefReeferLives

Well shit. Missed it. Derp.

ArmedandHammered

No worries, I did the same below with the Cure.

BeefReeferLives

Thanks. That makes me feel less of an idiot. However, now I’m doubting my eyes… Has nobody done Jimi’s version of “Daytripper”?

BeefReeferLives

Yeah, I’m going after the low hanging fruit here…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-btv-7GkVk0

Nothing like some nice Hooters:

Is this a reverse double shot? Different song, different band, same title:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-JhtQYaKOM

Dunstan

In any event, might as well do a double shot of Doug and the Slugs:

We could use another Bastille Day. Someone get a guillotine from Amazon.

Guillotines? Too European. Giant scissors which use monster trucks to work! Now that is ‘Murican.

Nothing more Amurrican than the Dildozer

Since we were talking about Jimmy Buffett in the cocktail thread, I’m going to serve up a quintuple shot to cover every day of the week.

Let’s begin our week:

For Tuesday and Wednesday (“hump day”) let’s send out a call on the Coconut Telegraph:

Really did not want to sully that song with this one. This was one of my dad’s favorite songs for some reason.

SonOfSpam

Probably the first appearance of Carroll O’Connor on Request Line

“The beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad, so I had one for dessert”

Like his version much better than Johnny Cash’s

Great thing about seeing these guys in concert, every song starts up, and you’re like “Oh yeah forgot about this song which rocks WOOOOOOOO” and then you drink more beer and the cycle repeats for two hours and dammit I miss live music.

Days not in title. Fits though. I’m a dumb. Here’s the Clash:

Best tribute to tWBS. Except song’s too good.

TheRevanchist

Door gently opens

Man in a tuxedo and top hat steps in

“Let’s bring some culture to this place. A nice number from a musical shall be fitting, indeed.”

Technically this might be a double-shot

SonOfSpam

A self-contained double shot is worth more.

I often take my baby by the heel and do the next thing that I feel.

Yes, but do you do it with an amethyst in your mouth?

Could be in the handful of “If you have to hear to ONE salsa number”

Héctor Lavoe y Willie Colón
