Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Hey guys, I have another request for songs. this one's for my coworker's wife who's teaching Twelfth Night to her high school students.

She's looking for songs that have a similar sentiment to this song that Feste sings:

What is love? 'tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty;

Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.

So songs that say seize the day, or let's do it now while we're still young. I'm sure there's a ton of such songs out there, but my minds a blank right now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm sure there's a ton of such songs out there, but my minds a blank right now.

Let's Do It - the Cole Porter song. I particularly like Joan Jett's version.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's certainly at least one madrigal setting of that Shakespeare text.

I think she's looking for pop songs that express the same sentiment, so the kids will be able to relate.

The one her DH came up with was, Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Judas Priest - "Breaking The Law" or "Living After Midnight," take your pick. I'd bet there's some choice AC/DC songs, too.

Because books.

"Born to Run" fits, I think.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"Seize The Day" - Avenged Sevenfold
"Carpe Diem" - Metallica

(to be overly literal)
