Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

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.

I sent you to Last Night Story! Eve loves it and it was on her top 10 of 2017 list. The original is ... interesting. The group's name means Firetruck!

I would honestly not have even recognized Dumb Dumb from that cover.

The Wi ing Wi ing cover is from King of Masked Singer - yes, basically a game show, where there's competition but basically the point is to guess who the singers are. Kang Seungyoon (whom I adore) is sort of a dead giveaway - he has a very distinctive voice! Here's what it looked like airing: [link]

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

King of Masked Singer! That's the one that had Ryan Reynolds on it a little while ago, yes?

Yeah. It has all kinds of singers - some idols, but lots of non-idol singers as well.

If you like Kang Seungyoon's voice, he's in a group called Winner, but the majority of their songs don't really make the best use of his voice. This one does, We Were from their recent album: [link] Winner also covered an old rock ballad recently on Sugarman 2 that Eve and I both love: [link] Seungyoon initally got famous for this ballad cover when he was 17: [link]

He does have an excellent voice. I'll give those a listen when I get home.

Last summer the album I enjoyed most was Shawn Mendes' Illumination, particularly "There's Nothing Holding Me Back." There wasn't much I was fond of though, as a whole the summer had nothing on the previous year when Pink, Calvin Harris & Rhianna, Sia, and Adele all had songs I liked a lot.

Shawn Mendes has a new album out this week! I mentioned him to my coworker the other day, and he was like, "Who's that?" and I said, "He's sort of like Justin Bieber, but not sleazy. Yet. And tall."

ION, I am really stunned by this - Angelique Kidjo's version of Talking Heads' album Remain in Light: [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'll add that Mendes recognizes (so far) that his talents lay in pop, and (unlike Bieber) he isn't trying to be a serious R&B singer.

My French cousin has requested classic American roadtrip music for our next cross-country odyssey. So I want to put together a playlist that is at least a couple of hours. Preferably from stuff I have or can easily get from the library. Ideas for specific songs that fit that bill?
