Weekend Music (FNM): key word - Last

last year

Key word for this weekend is LAST. Interpret this as you will, as it has more than one meaning. I think there are quite a few songs with this word in the title, but it can also appear prominently in the lyrics.

I think Bobby Rydell recorded this first, but I like Bobby Vee's version better, possibly because I heard it first.

I thought "with" was in the title, but it appears to be only in the lyrics: On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man in a dusty black coat with a. red right hand

I was sending emails to one of the originators of the music threads here to give her suggestions for new topics, and she told me to just post the topics myself. For a while, we alternated starting these threads, and then she decided not to post here anymore, which left me as pretty much the main person initiating the threads. She had kept a list or topics, including proposed ones, and emailed that to me when she decided to stop participating. EltonJohnDenver also started quite a few, and then she seemed to stop posting here as well, although I have no idea why. As I said earlier, this all started on Hot Topics, and the threads were always started early Friday evening by whoever happened to have an idea for a new theme. There were a lot of disparate people posting on that forum before it got banned (for contentiousness), and a larger percentage of them were men, compared to KT. I started posting FNM earlier in the day so that people would have more time to post videos while it was still Friday, but since the threads usually lasted through Saturday and Sunday, I started calling it Weekend Music instead but kept the acronym for archival purposes. A couple of times I did not post anything on Friday, and some people seemed disappointed, and so I decided to keep it up. I don't in any way own this topic, and so anyone is free to take it over. Carol, no one has posted those songs before, although I had thought that someone had posted the Kinks song, as it was one that I had also thought up - but neglected to post. I guess I will start Part III now - I did not expect this to get this far.

Hubby suggested this... (I've shared this song before) Lyrics: "I know I shouldn't want to keep you If you don't want to stay-ay Until you go forever I'll be holding on for dear life Holding you this way Begging you to stay" Didn't realize Elvis did this too

I've seen this group, Shooting Star, over a dozen times. The first time was when they played at my town's founders day celebration when I was in junior high. They are from the 70s rock genre.

This is one of their best songs

Etta James was the first one that popped to mind for me - and it looks like many of my other ideas have already been shared as well 😃

Here are 2 last nights:

This one's a groovy twist

P.S. Bobby Vee's is the one from Bye Bye Birdie - and he sings better than Conrad Birdie . I had no idea that anybody covered that song outside the play/movie.

P.P.S. Just thought of another 'last night'

my teenage sister sang me to sleep with this when I was 10 or so (bunkbeds)

Now I find out Pearl Jam did it too: (Vibrato much Eddie Vedder?) - I do like his voice

Lars, One Last Kiss in the Bye Bye Birdie play and movie was sung by the actor in the Conrad Birdie role - the rock star leaving for the Army. Rydell was in the movie as the teenage boyfriend of the girl (Ann-Margaret) bidding Birdie goodbye. Rydell could have recorded the song outside of the Birdie productions as was the practice at the time - popular songs were recorded as covers by many artists, over and over. Sometimes it was hard to remember who'd done the original and sometimes, when multiple covers were released at the same time, the answer was - there was no original.

Same title as some songs posted above, but a very different song by an English singer from Liverpool.

As for "One Last Kiss," Bobby Vee released it as a single in April 1960, and the movie Bye, Bye, Birdie was released in 1963, but Dick Gautier released a version of the song April 14, 1960 - the same time as Bobby Vee, and Dick Gautier was in the original stage production 1960-61.

Ded's post reminded me of this gem from Woodstock. One of my faves - my parents had the album, and we listened to it often as kids
