A sober Christmas... no booze, no drugs, no nothin'. You know. Only egg nog in the egg nog? So… how are people coping?

Hello Music Lovers- Every time I hear “Sweet Caroline” at the ball park and the crowd sing, “Uh, oh, oooooh…”, I think of another song by the British group, Smokie that also has a similar call and response. Smokie released “Living Next Door To Alice” in 1976, a sad song about a young man’s long standing unreturned love for the girl next door who moves away. It was a pretty big hit in Europe and the United States. As years passed, the band noticed a phenomenon while touring in Ireland. Whenever they sang the main line, “For 24 years/I’ve been living next door to Alice”, the audience would shout, “Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?” So in 1995, the band went into the studio and recorded a new version, this time a duet with the controversial, English comedian, Roy “Chubby” Brown using the new lyric and the song shot up the charts once again. Tune into Song Snatch #223 and join the sing-a-long to Smokie and their very catchy tune, “Living Next Door To Alice”! (episode runnin...

Hello Music Lovers- For the past few weeks, I've been singing the Disney song, “Let’s All Sing Like The Birdies Sing” every night while prepping the coffeemaker before going to bed. I figure it’s because I have 7 chickens and I was probably thinking of them, right? But who knows. Anyway, I woke up the other day and out of the blue began singing today’s version of the song and the lyrics had suddenly changed overnight reflecting current events! I immediately shared the idea with my producer, and he loved it! Check outSong Snatch #222, and hear anew song parody that I recorded with The Babe Marino Marching Band, along with Dick Daily and Mona Schautz on background vocals, with choice quotes from President Trump called “Let’s All Tweet!”!

Hello Music Lovers- The music business is a tough racket to be in, and in the digital age the chances that your songs will be playedor promoted on the radio and on-line music programs are somewhere between slim and none.

Hello Music Lovers- A new year is here and it's time to reflect and say get the f..., I mean good-bye to the old. And sometimes at the end of the year (or night), whether it’s at the bar or club or even at a party at your house, no matter how many hints you drop or how nicely you ask, some people just won’t leave. So what do you do? How about telling them to get the fuck out! Lesson learned in Song Snatch #220, in a song that I, Red Peters recorded with Dumpster Punch that does the trick every time, and a great way to clear out the old and make room for the new called “The Closing Song (Get The Fuck Out!)”. (running time- 4 minutes and 41 seconds) (You can hear more of Red’s songs at www.redpeters.com and even download and sing-along to a karaoke version at www.redpeterskaraoke.com.)
Hello Music Lovers- As we look around it’s easy to see the world’s a friggin’ mess. Faltering economies, social unrest, bipartisan bickering, gridlock, extreme weather, middle east tensions- so much hate and anger. But you know something?

So as you ponder the New Year, join my friend Mr. Dickie Weed, the great songwriter from Nashville Tennessee, and celebrate by singing along in Song Snatch #219, as he sings, “Have Another Drink On Me”!
