So sorry that last Monday's post disappeared during an app crash. This week is your song pick. Since it is summer, I chose "Vacation" by The GoGos. It is a bit strange thinking about travel and related music during the Covid19 pandemic. However, free virtual tours of museums, zoos, and other attractions are available. USA Today has a few.
Meanwhile, let's get back to the song. It was a popular song performed and recorded in the 1980's by the girl group, The GoGos. Kathy Valentine wrote the song(https://www.songfacts.com/facts/the-go-gos/vacation)while performing with a local group, The Textones. It was based on a boy she dated at the time. One of the other members of The GoGos thought of the water skiing cover.
I am one of the Co-hosts of Monday's Mewsic Moves Me(http://bit.ly/2v0CITK) thismonth. Several bloggers write about music or music themes and share a linky so that others can join the group. The linky is below this post. Today's theme is 'your choice', and since it is May and Springtime, I chose a song with a flower in the name. It is also a song that Clay Aiken(http://bit.ly/2Q1B8qj) has recorded. The song is "Build Me Up Buttercup."
Today's song has been around for over 5 decades, as have I. Build Me Up Buttercup was written by Michael D'arbo and Tony Macaulay. It was first recorded by The Foundations (Song information by AllMusic.). Enjoy these videos of today's song performed by The Foundations, Clay, a group of US Marines and with ukelele by a relatively unknown
Hope you had fun celebrating " Build Me Up Buttercup" today. Please comment and join the 4M blogging crew today or next Monday. Thanks for visiting and may God bless you.
