I wake up humming #1

This morning I woke up humming "My Way", having heard late last night a version by one Nina Hagen who I guess I'm the only person around who never heard of her. It's a blast.

So I watched it again. I found it on Bing, which seems to have more music clips than YouTube, so with that in mind, all the while humming My Way, I thought to look for the song Maggie (When You and I Were Young Maggie) and found this sweet gem by a Japanese group.

Now I'm humming Maggie.

Back to reading political blogs now.

Poetry and music

News flash from inside brain: all poets must submit their poems in musical score format, along with dvd of them being sung.

I was humming Schubert's Ave Maria when this thought popped up, glorious melody line. Here's a YouTube clip I've got bookmarked, Pavarotti, live:

Lately, more YouTube music clips, less political blog reading.
