Post #14: JazzMix
In an interest meme yesterday I was asked about my jazz obsession, and after waxing poetics about it I figured the easiest way to explain was to share some of my favourite songs, and let them do all the talking. And so this mix was born.

A Tisket, A Tasket
She was truckin' on down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She was peck, peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the ground
A taste of Honey
Winds may blow over the icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
Let's Do It
The most refined lady bugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs they do it
What's the use of moth balls
Anything Goes
Times have changed,
And we've often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got a shock,
When they landed on Plymouth Rock,
If today, any shock they should try to stand,
Steada' landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
Just one of Those Thinghs
It was just one of those things,
Just one of those crazy flings,
One of those bells that now and then rings,
Just one of those things.
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead.
Goody Goody
So you lie awake just singing the blues all night, goody goody!
And you found that loves a barrell of dynamite!
Hurray and halleluyah, you had it comin to ya
Goody goody for you! goody goody for me!
How High The Moon
Somewhere theres music
How near, how far
Somewhere theres heaven
Its where you are
If I Were a Man
I'd hold in my arms
Just so that you could hold me,
If I were a man
I'd like to meet somebody like me.
Lullaby of Broadway
When a Broadway baby says "Good night,"
It's early in the morning.
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight until the dawn:
Good night, baby,
Good night, milkman's on his way.
Sleep tight, baby
Paper Moon
Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
September in the Rain
To every word of love I've heard you whisper
All the raindrops seem to play a sweet refrain
Though spring is here, to me it's still september
That september, in the rain
Somebody Bad Stole The Wedding Bell
We got sarsaparilla soda on the ice
We got shoes and rice and free advice
We got a bridal suite in honeymoon hotel
But what good is that without a wedding bell
Stormy Weather
Life is bare, gloom and misry everywhere
Stormy weather
Just cant get my poorself together,
Im weary all the time
So weary all the time
Tea for Two
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me
That Old Black Magic
That old black magic has me in its spell,
that old black magic that you weave so well.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
The Boy From Ipanema
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes
Each girl he passes goes - ah
They Can't Take That Away From Me
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me
Trust in Me
Come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me Daddy, oh yeah, and I'll be strong
We can get along, we can get along
Oh, if only you trust in me
Two Sleepy People
Here we are just about the same
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawns early light
And so much in love, so much in love
Love for Sale
Love for sale. Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?
Wade in the Water
If you don't believe I've been redeemed
Wade in the Water
Just see the holy ghost looking for me
God's gonna trouble the Water
What a Difference a Day Made
What a difference a day made,
twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
where there used to be rain
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
I got love in my tummy,
And I feel like a-lovin you:
Love, you're such a sweet thing,
Good enough to eat thing
And that's just a-what I'm gonna do.
