Blogger 365 Day 115 - Karaoke Friday "taking the 5th"

     Since I am getting ready to head back into work and since I haven't done a Karaoke Friday entry in a few Fridays now, this would seem to be as good a time as any.  But rather than goes through a lost of music and try to find something that might be symbolic or appropriate, instead I am just going to take the 5th song that pops up on my Pandora station.  Easy enough.  I can tell you the songs you missed out on as well, starting off with "Proving You Wrong" by Keb Mo.  Honestly, I don't even know if that song has a video, so I guess I should be happy that it did not come up fifth.  Next up, "Sitting On Top of the World" by Tim Easton.  Apparently the Music Genome Project is picking music it thinks I will like this evening, and well, it failed in this regard.  One thumbs down and hopefully I will vanquish this song from my station. #rd song is a little better, "Play Me" by Neil Diamond, or as I call him, The Jewish Elvis.  I have to say if this keeps up then the 5th song to pop up will not be all that upbeat.  Not my favorite Neil Diamond song, that would be "Forever in Blue Jeans", but not a bad song.  Certainly better than that Tim Easton stuff that popped up.  Commercial break, hat does not qualify.  Karaoke Friday will not be a commercial, sorry.  #4, "Leather and Lace" by Stevie Nicks.  Another song that I like but would not have necessarily went out of my way to listen to had it not popped on my station.  We are getting closer to the unveiling of #5.  I know, the suspense is killing you.  You don't have to tell me.

The moment has arrived, and for the record the 5th song to pop up and the winner of Karaoke Friday was another song that Pandora picked for me, that is two out of my first 5 songs.  I think they are trying to broaden my horizons or something.  Truth be told this is an older song and I might have thumbs up a different version at some point, but apparently not this one.  The envelop please......


Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son,
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along,
When they gathered round and started talking,
That's when Billy would take me walking,
Through the back yard we'd go walking,
Then he'd look into my eyes,
Lord knows to my suprise:

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

Being good isn't always easy,
No matter how hard I tried,
When he started sweet talking to me,
he'd come tell me everything is alright,
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright,
Can I get away again tonight?.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

How well I remember,
The look that was in his eyes,
Stealing kisses from me on the sly,
Taking time to make time,
Telling me that he's all mine,
Learning from each others knowing,
Looking to see how much we'd grown.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.
