Happy #ThursdayFiveList! This week's theme is #MoreCowbell - 5 songs that feature an auxiliary percussion instrument. Ooo fun!

So all of these tracks incorporate lots of traditional korean instruments - including drums (yonggo, janggu, buk), cymbals (jabara) and gongs (jing, kkwaenggwari).

1. Agust D - 대취타 (Daechwita)

This #ThursdayFiveList is #MoreCowbel - songs with secondary percussion in them. I challenged myself not to use Fantomas in this list, and I think I managed! Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either. I’ll be the first to admit, this list is weird and mostly instrumental, save for the last song, which I must admit is more silly and fun than most songs I feature.

Hi all! Have you ever thought the #ThursdayFiveList needed #MoreCowbell? This is your lucky week! Let's share songs that feature (or at least contain) ANY auxiliary percussion instrument - cowbell, conga, timbales, güiro, agogo bells, cabasa, maracas or other shakers, djembe, etc. 🪘 🪇 In my reply I'm striving for diverse instruments, genres & artists, i.e. not all Santana tunes, but you do you. 😎

Thanks to Kitty for coordinating while Neurothing is away!

El pueblo unido jamás será vencido ✊

Thank you for the music last week @nevar23 it was an interesting theme 🤓

Just a #ThursdayFiveList rota update

This week, 17th April, @cratedigger is setting the theme 🎉

For the week of 24th April, we still need a volunteer. If you are a regular participant and want to do that week or another one, send me a DM. Both new volunteers and repeat volunteers are welcome :)

Provided that Neurothing is not back as we are just keeping his seat warm :)

#ThursdayFiveList theme #SongsAboutMusic

I'm doing another list, following up on the pick-me-up that EWF's "Sing a Song" provided in my first list. (I could use some mood lifting.) These are 5 songs about music that always pick me up and put me in a good mood.

1. The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) / Simon & Garfunkel
song.link/csw7kgq4grfrz

2. Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy / The Andrews Sisters
I absolutely love this song.

3. Uptown Funk / Bruno Mars
I love the video as much as the song.
song.link/crxtpqsxh5x9g

4. Saturday In the Park / Chicago
This song isn't all about music, but it kind of is, and it makes me feel happy and full of love.
"A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs...
A man playing guitar (Play the song, play the song, play on)
And singing for us all"

5. Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy / Bad Company
Love this band. They rock.
