Song titles A through Z with video

DEFinning · Mar 16, 2023

I am late, again-- after last night, seeing Overitall's post of "Raindrops Keep Falling..." I came here today with another oldie, for "S," only to see that Turtledude had beaten me to it.

But since the song he posted, I had just, myself used, very recently, for that letter (Silver, Blue, & Gold), and since "S" is one of the easiest letters to find songs for, I'm still going to post this one, here (in between "V" and "W").

It actually is a pretty decent follow after the odd, Zydeco-flavored Reggae song,* by the Clash, which precedes it.

I think I prefer the Elvis Presley rendition:

*(And, for any who haven't heard of Zydeco music, here is an example:

I If I were a carpenter-one of the better covers of Tim Hardin's awesome tune.

The echo effect, actually works well, here, which I would not have guessed would be the case.

Made me think of "Thank You."

There is something very familiar about Plant's cover (of "If I Were a Carpenter"). It's very distracting to me, trying to think of the song or songs it is either mimicking, or at least evoking to my mind. At first I was thinking it was a folksy tune, but maybe it was an acid rock ballad, or even a more recent pop tune. Can you think of one, with a similar sound?

I'm going to try to stop thinking about it, but here's a song that one can hear a partial similarity, but not at all the one I'm talking about, that I hear, in my head.

The first version is definitely the best, IMO, though you have to allow it to bring you to You Tube, to see & listen to, that one. Any of them, though, should be sufficient for just noticing some similarity-- I hope so, anyway.
