The MJ Show #133 - Rock Of Ages! (Songs from the soundtrack)

Just got back home from watching "Rock Of Ages".

Here's what I think. Don't go to the movie being all serious and stuff. Go to have fun and you'll come back thoroughly entertained! It's a music lover's dream movie...especially if you rocked out to 80s rock n roll music. It's got songs by some of the best bands you can think of. The versions in the movie done by the cast of the movie are absolutely stunning. I wish I could play you the movie versions here but I figured you should go and experience that yourselves in the movie...but just to get you familiarized with the songs in case you didn't know some of them, I thought I'd get all the songs in the movie...the originals versions that is and put them all up for you.
So here you are! Enjoy this phenomenal set...and just think...you'll get ALL these songs in one movie!
Absolutely brilliant! I think after "Across The Universe" which had a ton of Beatles songs...this is my favourite movie soundtrack in a long long time.
Also Glee fans...this is almost like Glee for the bigger kids :)

The movie releases next week. Don't miss it! :)

The MJ Show #130 - Bee Gees - Saturday Night Fever

Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb - the Bee Gees, have been one of the most successful trios/bands in the world. They've had tons of hits and have sold more albums than you can imagine. In fact, the Bee Gees' Hall of Fame citation says "Only Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney have outsold the Bee Gees".
I read that just a few hours ago, Robin Gibb passed away and is now with Maurice doing concerts way up high. As a tribute to this band I thought I'd look at one of their most successful soundtrack/albums.
The soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever was composed and performed primarily by the Bee Gees, was one of the best-selling soundtrack albums of all time.
The Bee Gees had originally written and recorded the five of the songs used in the film, "Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever" and "How Deep Is Your Love", "More Than a Woman" and "If I Can't Have You" (performed in the movie by Yvonne Elliman) as part of a regular album but when the movie came calling along I guess they decided to give the tracks to the soundtrack rather than releasing an album themselves. Two previously-released Bee Gees songs—"Jive Talkin'" and "You Should Be Dancing" were also included on the soundtrack.
The soundtrack also won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

So here they are...all of the songs that the Bee Gees did for Saturday Night Fever!

"Stayin' Alive"

"How Deep Is Your Love"

"Night Fever"

"More Than a Woman"

"Jive Talkin'"

"You Should Be Dancing"

"If I Can't Have You"
Though the movie version was sung by Yvonne Elliman I've found a version of the song by The Bee Gees.

Robin Gibb...R.I.P!
If you have any favourite Bee Gees songs...let me know on www.facebook.com/mihirjoshipage and we'll do one more show on their other hits some time soon!

Right then...it is now time for me to say take care and have a nice day! :)
