Favorite Songs That Use Weapons or Violence in the Title- 7

Tweet

I'm sure we remember the protests which eventually led to the summer riots over the George Floyd murder at the hands of the police. Well, one weapon that was used during the ensuing violence was bricks, in addition to explosives. So, I'm going to use these examples for our next set of weapon titled songs. Here we go... Comments, musings, and your own favorite weapon songs and trivia welcome. 1. "Another Brick in the Wall"- Pink Floyd -"Dark Side of the Moon" was a must played LP when it came out in the 70's. And this band came down with another "ton of bricks, but in a good way, when they released the album "The Wall" in 1979. Those bricks in the wall became a #1 hit for the band. Enjoy this GREAT VIDEO!!! Did you ever listen to either of these Pink Floyd albums? 2. "Thick as a Brick"- Jethro Tull -An album with just one song on both sides of the record. And I loved every 40+ minutes thumbs up! Progressive rock at its best! TRIVIA CHALLENGE ***Now for our trivia music challenge for those who like to play along. See if you can guess these selections. Words in "quote marks" provide valuable clues! Name this week's tune, artist or facts: 1. This "brick song" was recorded by Elton John for his 1973 "masterpiece LP of the same name." The "tune's title" pays homage to "Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz," who traveled on a "very special colored road" to reach the Wizard. The beginning of this song title is a word that means the "opposite of hello." Put them together for this song which reached #2 on the charts. -Do you know the name of Elton's brick song? 2. John Mellencamp wrote this nostalgic song about the good old days when he was a teen. It was a time when "holding hands meant something" and "our hearts were really pumping, yeah, yeah, yeah." The "tune's title" is the same as an "explosive firecracker" popular on July 4th. Although, it was really about the name of a dance club the artist made up. This firework is shaped like a "round shaped sphere" with a stem for a fuse, it is "similar looking to a dessert topping which goes on top of whipped cream in making a sundae." -Can you name this explosive titled song? 3. This "disco classic" is about a woman with a "great body." In other words, she is built like a "___________" And if you remember the "nursery rhyme" with the" three little pigs," then you know "which pig had the strongest and best home." This tune showed the "funky" side of this group, but they were also known for some easy listening tunes by using "Lionel Richie" on lead vocals. He sang on their softer songs like "Easy" and "Three Times A Lady." Fun fact- the song was not written by a male chauvinist but the wife of guitar/trumpet player William King. -Do you know the name of this R&B group and their weapon-titled disco song? Let's not "run into a brick wall" figuring out the answers. If you're stuck and need additional hints just let me know in your response. I'll be glad to supply one. Or, as The Staple Singers would say, "I'll Take You There." Thanks for reading and responding to my music post!!! I will return with a new edition soon. Hope you can wait till then, lol.
