Bloggers Boogie - The Whitlams version

Last night, my husband and I abandoned our children to a most competent baby sitter and trundled off into Brisbane to see The Whitlams live with a full symphony orchestra.

The Whitlams are a absolutely fantabulous Australian band fronted by Tim Freedman whose voice is gorgeous.

 

It was, to say the least - spectacular. So today a selection of Whitlams songs they sang last night. As much as I can I'll try and post live versions with orchestra as well.

Blow up the Pokies with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra

 

Thank you live at the Metro in Sydney

You Sound Like Louis Burdett - most probably my favourite Whitlams song

Gough live at the Basement - Gough Whiltlam was Australia's 21st Prime Minister and the man the band is named for.

No Aphrodisiac with Sydney Symphony Orchestra - their first big hit.

I really wanted to put these next two songs in as well, but bloody blogger wouldn't find them for me, so you'll just have to click on the links!

The Curse Stops Here 

Charlie No 1 with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra - this is truly beautiful - well worth the click.

Want to boogie too? Pick a theme, pick five or so songs and head over to Little White Dove to link up! 

 

Bloggers Boogie: Crushes

So I realised my boogie last week was very heavily female based - there were some great 80's pop icons. However, the question remains, whose posters did I use to practice my first kisses? (Too much information? Too bad!)So today's Boogie is dedicated to my teenage crushes.

Richard Marx - Should've Known Better.

Boy could he rock a tight pair of jeans!

Gloria - Van Morrison

Pretty much the whole cast of The Outsiders, but especially Matt Dillon who played Dally - I always did love a bad boy. This was also one of my first experiences of a movie not being as good as the book. I love the book - in fact there are still whole passages I can quote.

Kenny Loggins - Footloose

Kevin Bacon in Footloose. That smile, those hips...sigh...

Patrick Swayze - She's Like the Wind.

 I love a good dance movie. As for Patrick Swayze - those arms, oh lord those arms!

Kenny Loggins - Dangerzone

Tom Cruise in Top Gun - before he married our Nicole, went all weird and dumped her!

Want to boogie along? Post your own 5, whatever theme you want and link up over at Little White Dove.

Blogger's Boogie - Teeny Bopper

Last week, the gorgeous, but obviously young Miss Dove, only recognised one of my songs! And then she confessed to a teenage love of Britney Spears. Which got me thinking about my teeny bopper loves in the 80's, so here is my (embarrassing) 80's style teeny bopper Blogger's Boogie.

Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now. 

I'm sure 80's was dominated by the first name only pop singers. I thought Tiffany was the coolest thing EVA!

Debbie Gibson - Electric Youth

I had a hat just like hers...and a waist coat...I never looked that cool though!

Mel & Kim - Respectable

Again with the hats. This one reminds me of my 16th...

Kylie - Locomotion.

It has to be the one she did in Aus, not the one she did with Stock, Aitken and Waterman. I still love a good bit of Kylie.

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna have Fun.

This was my version of rebelling - pathetic I know!

Well, that's a boogie that shows my age! Want to boogie as well? This week's boogie is being guest hosted over at Carrose Creations. Head over and link up!

Bloggers Boogie: P&P Edition

In honour of my Pride and Prejudice challenge, Miss Dove over at Little White Dove has themed her Bloggers Boogie challenge after P&P.

This is the first Bloggers Boogie I have participated in, but the rules are simple. Post a couple of songs that are related to the theme and then link up over at Little White Dove. Check out everyone's links and get your boogie on!

I am slightly challenged by the fact I have not yet read or watched P&P, but this is what I've picked up from reading summaries and trawling the net!

 

 Balle Balle from Bride and Prejudice - a bollywood version of Pride and Prejudice.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge - lots of family in P&P - and lots of sisters!

You're so Vain - Carly Simon. Seems to be a bit of vanity in P&P..

Darcy's Letter from the movie - just 'cause I like it!

Hope you like my boogie selections! Feel free to join in and link up!
