I have a self-imposed rule on my blog – no challenges! Then along came Di from Pensitivity 101 who asked me if I’d like to participate in Laura Venturini’s Weekly Song Challenge I couldn’t resist it! So, here goes.
Post a video of a song about getting spiffed up.
Like Di, I’ve picked a song from Top Hat, but mine’s a different one. I’ve never seen the movie, but last month I was in the audience of the stage show, and this keeps playing in my head! So, I’m putting on my top hat, white tie, and tails!
Post a video of a song that makes you cry for no reason.
The first time I heard this song from the Allan Parsons Project I decided I wanted it played at my funeral! The melody is haunting and the words, pure poetry. I’ve picked a video which shows the lyrics.
Post a video of a song that is a great work out song.
When I was at school I enjoyed cross-country running. I’m not a great one for working out these days, although I did run for the bus yesterday! This song makes me puff and pant just listening to it! Ready, steady….go!
I’m now tagging two people. Please do not feel obliged to take part, it’s entirely up to you!

Cute idea but I can’t believe you never have seen Top Hat. I don’t think there is any Fred Astaire movie I haven’t seen. As for crying when I hear a song, it’s Judy Garland singing Over the Rainbow even though I do not like the Wizard of Oz.

Keith, i appreciate it, right now, i just can’t. First, while i don’t mind being tagged on occasion, i feel odd tagging others. Second, i am cleaning 5 places in the next three days and traveling out of town and it just isn’t in the cards to add more on the blog than i already have ready to post.

One of the reason I avoid tags is because I have to tag others! Best of luck with your busy three days!
