Today I am joining up with other Music Moves Me bloggers (and you can join us at the linky above). We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post link may be labeled "No Music" or even removed.  

Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and, last but not least, me.

Every other week we have a theme.  This week's theme is "You Pick".

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I am going to start with some Irish/Celtic singers/groups.

The Pogues and the Dubliners with The Irish Rover. 

I can't resist the Dropkick Murphys - my selection is I Wish You Were Here".  You may want to have tissues at the ready. 

Now, let's lighten the mood.

U2 and Beautiful Day. 

Dexy's Midnight Rummers and Good Night Eileen in the song's TV debut on, of all things, a children's show.

Couldn't resist a short Irish Spring commercial.

Finally, time for something different.

 It's also near spring, and the birds are singing.   

The land is coming alive where I live and I can't resist something Disney with a song from my childhood - actually it predates it, as the song was written in 1932.

Finally, speaking of Disney, how about this vintage commercial combining the original Disneyland in California and the advertising song Come Alive! 

I'm counting the days to spring.

And that's a wrap!

Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.

  2. Love that first video, with the singer with awful teeth and the ears that stick out like a Volkswagen going down the street with its doors open! I must have known a dozen guys who looked like that in my former life...

    And you know me with old commercials, especially the one for Pepsi...
