YOU CAN'T NOT GET NO SATISFACTION

Why my heart belongs to Canada....part 1

Posted over 2 years ago
Story goes.........and stop me if you've heard this one before. Back in the mid-70's canadian music teacher Hans Fenger gathered his schoolkids and recorded two LP's containing covers of what today are considered some of the most classic rock/pop songs around. As far as I know the LP's were only made for the kids and their families. Instead of doing the good old a-z of children songs Hans Fenger taught the kids these great rock-songs...... often containing some heavy lyrics.Hearing these children sing songs by Brian Wilson, David Bowie, Lennon/McCartney, Neil Diamong, Phil Spector and so on.......is truly amazing.I could go on........but instead I'll post this song and tell you to go here: http://www.keyofz.com/keyofz/langley/ if you want to read more about the Langley Schools Music Project.This is Bowie's Space Oddity. Not only is it good but it's also really funny to hear these kids go for it.

  6. kristiana says That is a wonderful song, perfect. Did you know that I can't stop listening to Interpol lately...? I didn't even think I liked them that much, just so-so, except for a few songs. Lately I can't get enough. Must have something to do with longing. When can we expect post # 2?

  9. Me and the Horse I Rode In On says Of course!!! The Langley version of God Only Knows was featured in the canadian movie "My Life WIthout Me". It helped make a beautiful scene.
