Monday Morning Music - I'm Back

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

AC/DC - Back in Black


"Back in Black" is a song by AC/DC, appearing as the first track on side two of their 1980 album of the same name. Known for its opening guitar riff, the song was AC/DC's tribute to their former singer Bon Scott. His replacement Brian Johnson recalled to Mojo magazine in 2009 that when the band asked him to write a lyric for this song, "they said, 'it can't be morbid – it has to be for Bon and it has to be a celebration.'" He added: "I thought, 'Well no pressure there, then' (laughs). I just wrote what came into my head, which at the time seemed like mumbo, jumbo. 'Nine lives. Cats eyes. Abusing every one of them and running wild.' The boys got it though. They saw Bon's life in that lyric."

Enjoy!

Monday Morning Music - Risin' Up To The Challenge Of Our Rivals

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger


 "Eye of the Tiger" is a song by American rock band Survivor. It was released in May 1982 as a single from their third album Eye of the Tiger. It was written at the request of actor Sylvester Stallone, who was unable to get permission for Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". The song was to be the theme song for the movie Rocky III, in which Stallone was playing the main role.

This isn't the official video, which is just the band walking thru darkened streets to an abandoned factory.  I think I made the right choice.

Enjoy!
