How's Your Luck? Are you a superstitious sort - a ladder-dodger who says "hello" to Magpies and treads stealthily to avoid pesky pavement cracks? What's your take on black cats - good or bad luck? More importantly will you be taking time off and keeping yourself cocooned indoors, reducing the probability of pitfalls, pratfalls or possible hospitalization.
Wherever you are, whatever condition you're in - why not lend an ear bruised, bandaged or otherwise to these Friday the 13th anthems...
The Ventures - Superstition
Ella Fitzgerald - Knock On Wood
Jeff Beck(featuring Rod Stewart and Ron Wood)- I Ain't Superstitious
Black Cats are definitely lucky in a good way…
ReplyDeleteLove Stevie Wonder on Sesame Street PM!
(That kid in the red top is fantastic!)
the jeffbeck track is one of my all timers.... so nice of mr beck to invent the blueprint for led zepps sound...what a generous chap indeed!

ReplyDeleteI'm with Teenage Fanclub on all this mallarkey - 'A black cat on your floor - big deal!'.
ReplyDeleteBut Stevie on Sesame Street! How great is that???!!
Matey in the reds loving it Lil - but I reckon this storming performance would even put a smile on Oscar The Grouch's face..
ReplyDeleteIt's a killer isn't Kirstie - I may have to use it in a future Halloween mix
Davy - there must have been some heads working on Sesame Street - see theJazz Spies for more evidence..
Far OUT.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are awesome. I love them all. I don't tend to be that superstitious that I can think of. Not compared to other people I know. Have a good day. Don't let a big guy with a hockey mask come after you. :-) Cheers!
ReplyDeleteTop notch selection! I feel lucky now!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realise that it was Friday 13th... I just love the fact that it's the same day as Red Nose Day...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, excellent tunes as usual. I think that Knock on Wood is one of those tracks that sounds good by anyone. I'm also rather partial to the Amii Stewart disco version.
There's tons more kookyness in Sesame street Davy - and don't even start me on Tomfoolery
ReplyDeleteYikes - I'd forgotten about that Keith
Thanks ISB, Actually I could've cracked that Kylie track in - perhaps not
Oooh forgot all about that Amii Stewart versh Cocktails - great vid too - and I think she also did a version of The Letter
And [*gratuitous self-promotion alert*] this track from Sesame Street that I posted a while back is ace - http://cocktailsandrecords.net/blog/2008/05/26/learning-can-be-funky/
ReplyDeleteHave seen this - The Muppets do Talking Heads
ReplyDeleteMmmm, that's a bit too scary!
ReplyDeletenice post, although when i saw the title was sure it was gonna be paying tribute to that classic Damned EP!
