Feeling kind of down today. Nothing serious: I didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m tired and moving a little slow. Anyway, "down" gave me an idea for a playlist…
The Beatles, “I’m Down”
Creedence Clearwater Revival, “Down On The Corner”
Talking Heads, “Burning Down The House”
The Monkees, “Goin’ Down”
Howlin’ Wolf, “Goin’ Down Slow”
The Beatles, “Don’t Let Me Down”
Electric Light Orchestra, “Don’t Bring Me Down”
Kool & The Gang, “Get Down On It”
Men At Work, “Down Under”
Paul Simon, “Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard”
You can find the whole playlist here. That’s Monday’s Music Moves Me for May 8, 2023.
Monday’s Music Moves Me is sponsored by Marie, Cathy, Alana, and Stacy, so be sure and visit them, where you can also find the Linky for the other participants.

The ultimate down song…down has never been mentioned more times.

I’m sorry you felt down but it did lead to a post idea. (Hope you feel better today). Some great ones here – the Monkees song was new to me, and I loved it. Many old favorites here – Paul Simon, ELO, Men at Work, and (of course) The Beatles. Alana ramblinwitham

I was wondering what happened because you always have this up and running. I hope today is a better day. I enjoyed all the songs. The first one that came to me was ELO’s song. Very inventive.

John,
I’m sorry to read you’re not feeling well. I hope this morning you’re back to your ole self. I’ve been listening to your playlist. It’s chock full of great songs putting the groove in my move while I tackle a few chores and play catch up in Blogosphere. Have a boogietastic week and I’ll say a little prayer for you, my friend!

Great playlist, John. The Monkees song was new to me.

It wasn’t one of their better-known ones. I think they did it on the show one week.

Mickey still does it in concert occasionally, but it wasn’t one of their biggest hits.
