Miracle Mile - Bicycle Thieves


Artist: Miracle Mile
Song: Bicycle Thieves
Album: Bicycle Thieves (1997)


This British group is primarily the genesis of singer-songwriter Trevor Jones. In the mid-nineties, after working with co-producer Steve Davis,
Miracle Mile self-released its debut album Bicycle Theives in 1997. The duo added Les Nemes on bass, Trevor Smith on drums and Phil Smith on saxophone and keyboards. Mark Hornby would replace Phil Smith on the ensuing tour. Touring throughout Britain ensued with enthusiastic reviews for the contemporary pop sound in the vein of Beautiful South and Crowded House. The following year saw more touring and the release of Candids in 1998. But by that time Trevor Jones had grown weary of touring and opted instead for more studio work. Continuing work in 1999 on new songs, but Steve Davis departed the band citing time constraints and family priorities. Replaced by Marcus Cliffe, Miracle Mile released Slow Fade on MeMe Records in 2001. The album was noted for its simpler and more intimate sound, with good reviews in British music magazines and weeklies such as Mojo and Time Out. In the summer of 2001, the group returned to the studio for work on another album. Inspired by the Daniel Lanois album Acadie, the album took a slight country sound in its framework. In the spring of 2003, the group released Alaska on MeMe Records. The group contemplated doing live shows after Cliffe's tour with Mark Knopfler was cancelled due to the guitarist's motorcycle accident. ~ Jason MacNeil, All Music Guide

Don't mess with Sun God, he's a fighterIt was, '80's, Michael Jackson and leather jackets

Eric Herman - The World's Fastest Bicycle


Artist: Eric Herman & The Invisible Man
Song: The World’s Fastest Bicycle
Album: Kid In The Mirror (2003)

Eric Herman (real name Eric Herman Endres) is a children's music performer based in the Pacific Northwest. His music combines various styles of rock music with often wryly humorous kid-related lyrics to create what he refers to as "cool tunes for kids".

This is a
great cd from Eric HGrassettoerman. It is filled with fun catchy songs that our kids sing around the house. Our 2 year-old loves to say "No!" with the kids on the cd during the Elephant Song. The Dinosaur song is one of my favorites. His humor shines through in songs such as There's a Monster in My House. It is a fun cd to listen to.

My bicycles the fastest that the world has ever seen.
It has supersonic engines and a flame-retardant sheen.
My bicycle will travel a gazillion miles an hour.
It has rockets on the handlebars for supersonic power
Every time I take a ride everybodys eyes get wide-
Wow! Cool!Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
Go! Go! Go! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
Go! Go! Go! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!Here I come now on my bike!
The pedals both are jet-propelled to help you pedal faster.
The shifter is equipped with an electric turbo blaster.
The fender has a parachute in case you need to brake.
My bike is undeniably the fastest one they make.
Every time I take it out everybody starts to shout-
Wow! Cool!Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!Go! Go! Go! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
Go! Go! Go! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Here I come now on my bike!
I could ride it day and night.Its faster than the speed of light.
My bicycles incredible. I love the way it feels.
And Ill like it even more when Dad removes the training wheels
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
Go! Go! Go! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

review

One, two, three, four
Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow
Ah, maybe that spider knows something that I don't know'
Cause I'm goddamn cold
Little white monkey, staring at the sand
Well, maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understandWho knows?
Well, I came upon a dancing crab,
and I stopped to watch it shakeI said,
"Dance for me just one more time
Before you hibernate and you come out a crab cake
"Hey there, little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell
Ah, there's mysteries inside, I know
But what they are I just can't tell for sure
And hey ya, little baby crow, you're looking kinda mean
I think I outta spit before you start letting off your steam
For sureAnd hey there, little sexy pig, you made it with a man
And you're got a little kid with hooves instead of hands
And oh, all the animals
All the animals
And hey there, little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs
Ah, where you been? Have you broke a wing?
I haven't heard you in so long
And hey there, little albatross, swimming in the air
Ah c'mon, you know I can't fly
And I, I think we really outta play fair
And hey there, Mr. happy squid, you move so psychadelically
You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea
For sureAnd oh, all the animals
All the animals
And hey there, Mr. morning sun, what kind of creature are you?
I can't stare, but I know you're there
Goddamn, how I wish I knew
And hey there, Mrs. lovely moon, you're lonely and you're blue
It's kinda strange, the way you change
But then again, we all do too

Donna Rhodenizer - Singin' The Blues


Artist: Donna Rhodenizer, Andy Duinker
Song: Singin’ The Blues
Album: Blue Skies and Pirates (2001)

Blue Skies and Pirates, 2009 ECMA Nominee for "Children's Recording of the Year", is Donna & Andy's fourth children’s CD. With songs about pirates, changes in the weather and other elements common to rural Nova Scotia it is easy to tell that a Maritime-born Canadian composer has had a hand in the creation of this CD. However, the songs certainly leave any geographical restrictions behind with a variety of styles reflecting the influence of blues, classical, jazz, ragtime, and even a cha cha.
Some of Nova Scotia’s finest musicians have made guest appearances on the CD, creating authentic accompaniment tracks for all the songs. Blue Skies and Pirates has clever lyrics, a variety of musical styles, and musicality that creates a pleasurable listening experience for the whole family.
The 12 songs on this CD are presented in two versions: full performance tracks as well as instrumental accompaniment tracks for those who want to sing with a professional back-up band!
Singin' the Blues: this song is written from a child's perspective. In true "blues" fashion, there is nothing going to keep this kid from complaining.

Please take my bicycle,
my shiny red bicycle.
It's let me down for the very last time.
I have skinned both my knees,
I'm hurtin', so baby, please,
please take my bicycle,
I'm singing the blues.
Please take my chewing gum,
my very best bubble gum.
It's let me down for the very last time.
Bubbles have busted,
they cannot be trusted.
Please take my chewing gum,
I'm singing the blues.
Bicycles and chewing gum,
busted bubble dreams.
Age, it makes no matterwhen blue is how everything seems.
You see I’m not old enough
To own my own pickup truck
Too young to dateand my Momma's not in jail.
I don't mind rainy days,
my dog has not run away,
but all the same I am singing the blues.
But all the same I am singing the blues.
But all the same I am singing the blues.
Oh yeah.
