As I keep saying, this stuff isn't mine and may very well be pulled for breach of copyright. You can, of course, go looking on YouTube, or its foreign variants, for copies. I'm sure you know how.
My next dive into my musical alphabet brings me to the letter M and you won't be surprised to find something German in here if you've been following any of this blog. I say German but I wouldn't use it to brush up on your language skills - it is written in a dialect (Swabian if you're interested). The song starts in at about 40 seconds. This version is sung by what sounds like a mixed male choir. By now you may be saying to yourself, "That sounds familiar." Well, it is a well known song but you be more familiar with is as Wooden Heart as sung by Elvis Presley.
Anyway, here it is:
By the way, if this hankering for all things German is rubbing off on you the following site is a treasure trove - http://ingeb.org
This next M is also covered by Movies. You are unlikely to know me but I am not really a fan of musicals. Now and again one comes along which is a classic from day 1.
The following track is sung by Louis Prima...
This is Disney's best without a doubt but second place is sometimes amusing too as evidenced by this:-
From Valiant
It's amusing as I am quite partial to yodels. Real yodels, the Alpine kind, not these pygmy ones or those from the Australian outback or the Mid West of the old USA.
This penultimate video combines Movies and Guitars. Nothing sounds better than one guitar, save perhaps two. It is from the Movie Das Boot. BTW there is a "prequel" on Sky Atlantic should you be interested.
I do like a bit of classical now and again. This next from Mozart. Possibly one you're not too familiar with. Unless you're also a fan of Movies. Harry Palmer's outing in Funeral In Berlin featured this.
No video link for that one.
I'll finish off with one for my dear old Mum. I saved up my pocket money to buy this for her. Sorry for the cheesiness here but Opportunity Knocks for Neil Reid:
Well, there you go for February. March's output is likely to be a delve into the realm of 60s TV. I look forward to catching up with you then.
Well that's it for the M's. I think you'll agree a nice little collection of tunes. Feel free to add any comments whether you like these songs or not. And if you're wondering where Metallica is all I can say is that they are not on my radar. If they're on yours and you'd like to see them mentioned, drop a comment. There might not be another way.
