Thread Name: songs about music
Subject: RE: I'm looking for songs about music !
Mary, "Is Sing, Sing, Sing the one with "it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing...) " -- No, but that's a good song about music, too.

"Put Another Nickel In (All I want is lovin' you and music, music, music)" is the one titled "Music, Music, Music," which Teresa Brewer recorded in 1950.

Another song about music:
"Please, Mister, Please (don't play B-17, it was his song, it was our song, but it's over. ... I don't ever want to hear that song again.")

How about "Singin' In The Bathtub?"


If you include songs about playing fiddles, dancing, etc., there are lots of Irish songs that fit (e.g., Finnegan's Wake; Phil, The Fluther's Ball, The Kerry Dance, etc.). Then there are country songs like "Bonaparte's Retreat," "If Ya Want To Play In Texas, You Gotta Have a Fiddle In The Band," "San Antonio Stroll," etc.

others:
"Rock Me To Sleep"
"Chanson D'Amour"
"The Hurdy Gurdy Man"
"Nashville Cats"
"Songs My Mother Taught Me"
"Play That Funky Music, White Boy"
"Your Mama Don't Dance And Your Daddy Don't Rock And Roll"
"Missouri Waltz"
"Killing Me Softly With His Songs"
"It's Like A Symphony"
"Melody Of Love"
"My Melody of Love" (Bobby Vinton)
"A Lovers' Concerto"
"Broken Hearted Melody"
"The Y'all Come Back Saloon" ("...She played tambourine with a silver jingle, and she must have known the words to about a million tunes...")
"All God's Critters Got a Place In The Choir"
"Daddy Sang Bass"
