M@M: Johnny Cash-Get Rhythm

Check out this REALLY old Johnny Cash, mid-to-late ’50s.  Whenever you’re feeling down, boogie down=good advice.

MP3: Johnny Cash-Get Rhythm [ysi]

No woman, no…

…great songs about women. So here you have it, the 23 best songs with “woman” in the title. Some are included for novelty’s sake (Shania Twain) while others are included due to their ability to inspire (Ray Charles). Even a couple of them included no other words in the title besides “woman.”

Surprisingly, the artists making the list (especially those sitting on the throne of the Top 5) are older artists. Maybe as time has passed and gender has begun to be blurred, music is reflecting the change.(MP3s at the VERY bottom of the post soon to come available if you click on the word “woman.”)

23. This Woman’s Work-Maxwell. Included only because we share a name.

22. Things Go Better With Coke (A Man and a Woman)-Otis Redding. Otis would be higher than this if it were not such a sell-out song.

21. Man! I Feel Like a Woman-Shania Twain. I feel a little sick for putting Shania above Otis Redding on ANY list.

20. Mountain Woman-The Kinks.

19. The Ways of a Woman in Love-Johnny Cash.

Tarantino Tunes

Quentin Tarantino claims to pick 60% of the music for his movies before the script is even written.  Another 20% comes during the writing of the film, and another 20% after the script is complete.  (Watch the subtitled version of Pulp Fiction for this and other interesting musical facts about Tarantino.)

So without further ado, check out Tarantino’s Top Ten Tunes.  The top five and mp3s are after the jump.
