Day 30 - Elvis' Favorite Theme Songs

So Day 30 on the list was supposed to be "My favorite song this time last year", but that seemed lame to me. So I'm changing it to my favorite theme song. Now the real question is do I make it a TV, a movie, or a wrestling theme. It's the last day, so what the hell, here's all 3. My favorite TV theme is from a show that I literally grew up watching and basically ended up being part of a "Cheers" like bar at the Half Penny Pub of Sayville. So here's the theme from "Cheers", the extended version.



My favorite Movie theme song is from a movie that I love til this day. Here's Ray Parker, Jr with "Ghostbusters"



Last, but not least, is my favorite wrestling theme song. It needs no introduction...

Day #27 A Song Alfred Wished he Knew how to Play.

The guitar is hard, I'm not going to lie. I wish I had more time to dedicate to learn this instrument properly. I just look on youtube on how to play certain songs that I want to learn. Its more just a thing I enjoy learning how to play for my own benefit, almost like its a form of  meditation and a way I can just unwind myself through the process itself.

 besides that, I don't have real aspirations of playing songs for people. Just for me. Just to say in conversations, "I enjoy learning how to play that song".

I wish i knew how play Gypsy Jazz guitar like  Django Reinhardt in Minor Swing. I really enjoy this song and it kinda reminds me of New Orleans. A place I fall in love with every time I go.

Day #26 A Song Alfred can play on an Instrument

  I play the drums, so in that I can play along to other songs. But the first song I'm learning how to play on the guitar is Bob Marley's, "Redemption Song". The version I like best is from...SURPRISE! SURPRISE! Joe Strummer and the Mescalleros. I can really make a whole blog dedicated to Joe Strummer, really.

He has also done a duet with Johnny Cash which is also a great song unto itself.

Day 29 - A Song from Elvis' Childhood

Is it weird that the Beach Boys are directly responsible for getting me into Punk Music? Well here's a song from the Beach Boys, "Surfin' USA" and, fuck it, here's the Pennywise version as well. It's a 2 for 1 kinda day!

Day 28 - Elvis' Favorite Song of the Past Year

Well this was supposed to be "A Song That Makes Me Feel Guilty", but that sounds like Guilty Pleasure all over again. So I changed it. Now it's "My Favorite Song of the Past Year". This is just a fun song and was quite good to see live. This is The Creepshow with "Hellbound" off of the album "They All Fall Down". Definitely one of my favorite bands I've discovered since starting the Elvis & Alfred Show.

Day #25 A Song That Makes Alfred Laugh

This a song that always makes me laugh, its also a song I am learning how to play on the guitar.

What's not to love?

Day #24 A Song Alfred wants Played at my Funeral

I Actually created a playlist to be played at my funeral. I don't want people to be listening to some crappy muzak that the Funeral home has playing for every other funeral services.

I've been to many services where the music, at least for me, can help with the mourning process.  The playlist i've created last about 3.5 hours, good enough for each viewing days.

"Fade into You" from Mazzy Star, is a great song that I believe can set the mood for a nice send off.
