So just watched the piano 🎹, and my all time favourite composer/ singer is Billy Joel

[Cb1963]

So I really have a keen ear for music and it's amazing how many famous singers have put words to old classical songs, Billy Joel put words to Beethoven piano sonata(This night is mine) the Beech Boys also did a song call lady Linda, from JS Bach jesu joy, the way they jazzed up classical songs gave a new vibe to music that people have no interest in, or are unaware that these are classical pieces of music , I'm having a bit of a brain freeze at the moment, and I'm struggling to remember anymore, but there's got to be some more classical tunes where modern day singers have added their twist to older music, get your thinking caps on and feel free to help out 👍

Now you've got me going 😁

All by Myself , Eric Carmen- Rachmaninovs 2nd Piano concerto

Joy Bringer, Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Holst's The Planets ( Jupiter)

Stranger In Paradise , Tony Bennett- Borodin's Polovtsian Dances

Using it in the instrumental bits, not adding lyrics :

I Believe In Father Christmas , Greg Lake- Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije

Steven, Alice Cooper - Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor

And a couple of instrumentals :

Nut Rocker, Bee Bumble and the Stingers- Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite

Rondo, Herb Alpert - Mozart's Rondo a la Turque

Hope this jogs your memory 😁🐰

Wow 👌 I know most of those as well!!Loved Herb Albert , and who couldn't forget the old time singer Tony Bennett, I hope you didn't cheat and use Google 🤣🤪 does Terry wogan and the floral dance count as another 😀? Altogether at the floral dance 🕺💃🤣

[MadBunny in reply to Cb1963]

Hahaha. No I didn't cheat 😁 I love music and my hubby has a massive collection of music so it's a big part of my life. Herb Alpert features in an old 60s film , 'Live It Up'- worth a look if you haven't seen it.

Terry Wogan's Floral dance - aaargh !!!!

Cheers for your input, have you seen " M" around recently, not heard a peep for weeks?

[MadBunny in reply to Cb1963]

I think she's taking a break. She returned briefly under a different name , but isn't listed as a member at the moment.

[Cb1963 in reply to MadBunny]

Ah , right I know she bobs in out and changing her username quite frequently, hopefully she'll be back again, there's always a great group of guys on here and some subjects go off in tangents and end up like a comedy sketch 😀 😄

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Cb1963]

She comes and goes, cheering us with her presence. 🌻💜

[MaggieSylvie in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Yes, hope she knows we're waiting for her return. But I'm taking a bit of a break, too. I'm really only writing quick responses.🙂
