Storytellers

Another lost night of sleep results in a playlist of my personal favorite songs that tell a story…

I have a longer list (my brain is prolific at 4am) but I thought these were a good start.

Random thoughts…

Synchronicity has always been one of my favorite Police songs. The set… the costuming… this one is sooooooo Rad.

I used to sing Tommy The Cat to Kanga (my dog) when she rode on my lap in the car. I sang “Say Puppy” and she loved it so much she would lick my face and maybe release her anal glands a little bit on my jeans. I still did it every night after I picked her up from Papa and Grammas- That’s how much I loved that dog.

Would you believe that I had no idea that Neal Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys was gay? I had no gaydar as a child- much too sheltered. I had a crush on him to no avail.

Yellow Submarine is the best song to sing with kids in the car!

I wish Jack Black was my best friend. I would even be friends with just his eyebrows.

I have heard “Ohio” live. In the company of my parents and my late friend MIKEY. (miss you mikey.)

Kenny Rogers and the Muppets… is this creepy or awesome? I vote awesome. My little brother might have been named after Kenny Rogers.

I’m still freaking out about the Sting puppet. How have I never seen this? It’s terrifying and cool. I had the CD of this in the 90’s but I somehow missed out on this magnificently strange show.

What is your favorite storytelling song? Please share. I’m collecting them now.
