Mike’s Music Monday #52

Please note that this post was scheduled well before the Coronavirus outbreak, so please don’t be offended by the title of the song…  (I did think about swapping it for another song, but it is quite humorous in a ‘dark’ sort of way).

OK – some of you may be glad to know that this is the last in this series. (Hooray, I hear you cry).  I know it’s not been that popular, but it has filled in some gaps, which I may well fill this coming year with some other random posts (yet to be determined).

Anyway, for my last song, it seemed appropriate to play this one by Just Jack, called the Day I Died.  I had the pleasure of watching Just Jack live at the D Club in Lausanne some years ago.  He introduced this as a ‘happy song’, so who am I to argue.  Whatever, I think the lyrics and video are superb.  (In case you didn’t know Just Jack (Allsop) appears at the end of the video, as the medic who shakes his head).

    • It was a ‘hit’ in the UK, reaching no. 11 in 2009. But it’s quite a specialist genre, so I’m not surprised it never travelled very far. He also did a song called Starz in their Eyes, which you might have heard. I admit the series of songs was a bit of a filler to keep things moving on the blog as I’m running out of ‘new’ routes and material to post. As you may have read, I’m delving into my archives now. 😊
