Music Advent recap, part 1
Dec. 10th, 2014 02:15 amMostly for my own use, because a list is easier to deal with, here's the songs I've picked for the first ten days (or rather years) of #musicadvent, and links to the videos:
1963: Peter, Paul & Mary, Puff the Magic Dragon (video is a BBC performance from a couple of years later)
1964: Julie Andrews (and children and an animatronic robin), A Spoonful of Sugar ("Mary Poppins" clip)
1965: Petula Clark, Downtown
1966: Nancy Sinatra, These Boots Were Made for Walkin'
second choice: The Hollies, Bus Stop
1967: The Beatles, I Am the Walrus ("Magical Mystery Tour" clip)
1968: Simon & Garfunkel, Scarborough Fair/Canticle
1969: The 5th Dimension, Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In
second choice: The Archies, Sugar Sugar (also there's some interesting info along with the video about the amount of stuff from that cartoon series that isn't known to exist any more!)
1970: The Jackson 5, ABC (really meant to post this one, though, because that other one is only about half the song!)
1971: Three Dog Night, Joy to the World (NOT the Christmas carol)
1972: America, Ventura Highway
