Um...Tuneful Tuesday?

 Y'all, this autumn has been insane. I've got to be better about planning my events and, in general, my time. In October I had somewhere I had to be to sell books all but one weekend. Then November started and I've since done two weekends at the Georgia Renaissance Festival and have a book event this weekend and a reunion at the summer camp I attended as a camper/worked as a counselor next Saturday. Then I'm back to the renn fest for the 29th of November and 6th of December. What in the world?

I mean, I know what happened. I was out of commission for so long thanks to cancer treatment that I took every opportunity offered to be OUT and ABOUT. Well, the end result is that I may be OUT as in PASSED OUT come 7th December. Today's music Monday became Tuneful Tuesday because I've been running ragged...round and round like I used to do on a roller rink when I was a kid. 

This song makes me want to strap on some skates and hit the rink...hopefully with wheels down and not on my face, but it's been a few years now. Enjoy! The captions work, I tested them...you just have to turn them on. WOO!

Music Monday: A Different Danse Macabre

And now for something completely different... 
The inspiration for choosing this for our Music Monday this week is twofold: 
1. It's getting toward the end of summer, which means it is pre-spooky season for those of us who love a cold snap and a jump scare. I am firmly in the first camp, but the writer in me is constantly looking for spooky and paranormal things once it stops feeling like the surface of the sun outside.
2. This is definitely for my adopted brother Tony, who is ALL IN for scary, horror, etc. He talked me into watching Sinners, recently, which you will know from my previous Monday's post was life-changing for me as an author...
The lyrics are below because on my screen the captions were tiny and, sadly, auto-generated. I love you Duran Duran, and have for years, but for the love of all that is unholy and goes bump could you PLEASE caption your videos? Ta very much. Now, run along and get ready...Halloween is just (2 months and change) around the corner...

Danse Macabre

by Duran Duran

Halloween girl seize the fray

Brothers and sisters, lead the way

Shackled to the rhythm, your soul is weighed

So you better get down on your knees and pray

Comin' up for The Hawsker Mad-Bull

Jumpin' on the hot seat, lyin' in the dead pool

Delivery quake, expensive mistake

The damage, the damage, the damage, the damage

Hey, no way

Some ghost jive in an AC Cobra

Auto-da-fé

Get dirty up on the Danse Macabre

Hey, no way

I had you down for the cat's pyjamas

Auto-da-fé

Get dirty up on the Danse Macabre

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine

Heaven sake, don't blow your karma

Liberate your Danse Macabre

Zombie in the back room, nuns in the bed

Kids in KISS makeup, toasting the bread

An Elvis' moans a lone Natty Dread

With death in the living room, offering a head

Are you watching? Are you watching?

Collars and chains and cuffs are matching

Kami-kaze stag-do, twist and shout

At Sudan Archives on a girls' night out

Hey, no way

Some ghost jive in an AC Cobra

Auto-da-fé

Get dirty up on the Danse Macabre

Hey, no way

I had you down for the cat's pyjamas

Auto-da-fé

Get dirty up on the Danse Macabre

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine

(Liberate your Danse Macabre) if you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine

if you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine

(Liberate your Danse Macabre) if you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind, if you don't mind

If you don't mind

Music Monday: Peak Autumn

Well, I don't know about you, but all that this piece of music is missing is a comfy blanket, a good book, a steaming mug of cider, and a cabin in a autumnal colored wood to hold it all. I'm seeing retellings of fairy tales and epic battles and...well, the rest would be a spoiler, wouldn't it? Roll on, Nanowrimo 2022. (No lyrics because it is purely instrumental.)
