Shelley Winters, Jane Asher, Julia Foster, Vivien Merchant, and Michael Caine in Alfie (1966)
Thank you for supporting Deadsplinter! Here’s a Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart song from the 2004 movie Alfie:
Listen and find the title of a Guns N’ Roses song in the lyrics for 100 bonus smiley points!
Today’s theme is Mick Jagger or Dave Stewart songs, or anything else you like! Anything Goes!
Old habits die hard, especially Nasty Habits
Darling, I’ll Be Fine – You’re Not Quirky, You’re Just An Asshole.
This does not apply to anyone here, but I know some people who fit the description.
Not his wife, just saying.
Super!
This is an older song I have been streaming of late. There is an ep with 5 versions of it.
If I had to do a Mick Jagger song, it would have to be one with my favorite Reggae legend…
Rolling Stones counts. Think I might need some more of these.
Oh my, what a song. Excellent. Excellent. Nothing new but I see it staying in my head for at least a week!
I have a splitting headache so I can’t dig deep.
The Eurythmics – I Saved the World Today
I always forget about The Eurythmics when searching tunes. Shame on me!
The first concert I ever went to was a Ronnie Milsap concert. When my mom said we were going to a Ronnie Milsap concert I said, “who?”
Old Habits are Hard to Break by Ronnie Milsap
mom is cool!
I have two memories of Ronnie Milsap. The first is from a concert he did at a county fair during the peak of his popularity. The second is when I interviewed him for his “comeback” album release. He totes around a small Braille typewriter and when people introduce themselves, he stops for a moment and types the name in case he forgets it. There’s a lesson there for me.
…tricky for a variety of reasons…but
…would be stewart
…covers jagger…leaving “anything else you like”…which, for the record – emphatically does not include compounding the mistaken belief some people have that jude law is alfie?
[I’m quite certain that film has never been remade, thank you very much…]
re: alfie
you’re absolutely 200% right. scroll up!
There’s a theme to DUAN??? Of course there is. Sorry for always breaking the rules. My only defense is that I am a rebel so I rebel (I’ll spare you my Chuck D…for the time being 😉 ).
There’s a LP I really like that is supposed to be a tune for tune response to one of my desert island LPs, Exile on Mainstreet. I’m still not sure how Fuck and Run is replying to Happy but so be it…for the record both LPs are on the list.
1st up….
Saw you stretched out in Room ten oh nine
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
Whoa, come see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love
and what is supposed to be the reply…
I was flying into Chicago at night
Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke
The sun was setting to the left of the plane
…apologies – something snarled that comment up temporarily…our best minds are attempting to solve quite why that happens every so often
…which means it’s just the likes of me looking out for them to shake loose…& thus sometimes it may take longer than we’d like?
Exile On Main Street is my desert island album too!
Listen to Let it Bleed under a high quality set of headphones and your life will never be the same.
Regarding the theme thing:
“Whatever makes you move is cool, remember?”
-Luv4AllMusik
“Feel free to never spare me your Chuck D”
-Me-right now:
liz phair eh?
Liz Phair – Mother’s Little Helper (Rolling Stones cover)
thanks to IWillNotCalmMyTits for sending me to youtube for ‘Mother’s Little Helper’!
Sorta related. Sorta.
Keith Richards – Struggle
…sorry…can’t help myself
Here’s Jagger doing an honor to the great Solomon Burke at the 2011 Grammys.
thanks, I hadn’t seen this!
but (splinter knows what’s coming!) I can’t see that and not think of this:
The Blues Brothers Concert Intro
The Blues Brothers – Everybody needs somebody
…& there was I trying to show some restraint…having thought exactly that ought to go exactly there
…thank you kindly
“but babe this is jake and elwood, the blues brothers”
throw restraint out the window!
The BLUES BROTHERS?! Shit. They still owe you money, fool!
Thin Lizzy – Bad Habits
Every kiss, every hug seems to
act just like a drug…
Since I’m on a Great American Songbook roll, here’s the original Alfie as interpreted through Stevie Wonder’s chromatic harmonica. I’ve dedicated my life to learning to play this song like Stevie. I won’t live long enough to realize that dream, but the real treasure is in the little bit I’ve learned to play along the way. Seriously, you should check this amazing performance out.
wow!

Everytime I hear the “Babybabybabybabybabybabybabybaby” part I flash back to the scene from Casino.
