🔥 Wondet if anyone still remembers the 
“The Gong Show”
I was working in a northern 🇨🇦 Lumber Camp
after 12 hours of chopping wood we all watched The Gong Show on a small B/W TV that picked up a northern Quebec TV station that was airing this show
Thanks for the memories 
big burly Northern Canadians 🇨🇦 watching this weird show 😂😂

Hey, caught your appearance on the Eclectic Collective's AI song, and then instantly recognized your voice and style on your home page here. Dig your sense of humor and fun approach!

A fun blast from the past and an interesting reflection into the future. Cool song!

Great tribute Joe! Chuck was one of a kind and wrote the hit song "Palisades Park" for Freddy boom boom Cannon.

really hilarious and intelligent story, Joe...high time ..somebody started a new version of this epic TV show..I agree with Frank Zappa " Does Humor Belong to Music"..yes.. at least on the cloud!

Fuel for Dance: Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Evandro B. Lira aka Vintage Mutation.

The aforementioned composition evokes "the duty of the Human Being to express Life with intensity", that is, "to commit oneself with heart and soul to everything one decides to do". Vivid expression is the "fuel" that drives movement and art of existence (dance).

Album "Comme un boomerang", 1963
Reprise de la version Live

J'avoue j'en ai bavé pas vous
Mon amour
Avant d'avoir eu vent de vous
Mon amour
Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une
Chanson
À votre avis qu'avons-nous vu
De l'amour?
De vous à moi vous m'avez eu
Mon amour
Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une
Chanson
Hélas avril en vain me voue
À l'amour
J'avais envie de voir en vous
Cet amour
Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une
Chanson
La vie ne vaut d'être vécue
Sans amour
Mais c'est vous qui l'avez voulu
Mon amour
Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une

The world can be an unpredictable dog eat dog kind of place full of all sorts of all sorts of people who can get under your skin
Sometimes you just have to smile and nod and keep your feelings to yourself and try your best just to just to take it on the chin
And there’s people who seem friendly, but they’ve got a knife in their hand behind their back
And they’re waiting for the right moment to attack
There used to be a TV show, where you could dance or sing a song
and if the judges didn’t like your performance, they would strike a gong
It sure would be nice if you could walk around with a mallet in your hand every day
And you had access to a gong you that you could strike and make annoying people go away
It sure would be nice to have that kind of power
Amateur performers of dubious talent, trying to win a small prize
Five hundred sixteen dollars and 32 cents, You could see the hunger in their eyes
Chuck Barris hosting on that Burbank stage, he knew the people competing were toast
But he smiled and tried to encourage them and be a good friendly host
The dinosaurs ruled the earth for millions of years until the asteroid struck
it was like a giant cosmic gong
Mammals arose from the rubble and now humans rule the earth, but we haven’t been around for nearly so long
We’re all just making it up as we go along hoping somebody doesn’t strike that gong
It sure would be nice if real life was more like that old Gong Show
And you could get a large gong attach it to wheels and take it wherever you go
You could follow in the footsteps of Chuck Barris and be your own gong show emcee
And whenever people start to annoy you -you could strike that gong and make them flee
He wrote a book called Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Chuck Barris was one of a kind.

The post promotes "Greek Drama - Ελληνικό Δράμα," a track by CHRIS JUNOS on SoundCloud, reflecting a modern nod to ancient Greek theater where music was integral, as noted in Aristotle’s Poetics, which ties the origins of tragedy to dithyrambic performances blending song and dance.
Recent archaeological findings, including a 2024 study from the University of Liverpool, uncovered musical fragments from 400 BCE, suggesting Greek dramas used complex scales, potentially influencing CHRIS JUNOS’s experimental electronic style seen in related posts like "APHRODITE'S CHILL."

Greek Drama - Ελληνικό Δράμα

Shattered dreams on the bedroom floor 
Echoes linger of the love we swore 
Empty whispers haunt the hollow night 
Broken souls lost in fading light  

Heart broken hearts never heal 
Cracks so deep they’re all we feel 
Pieces scattered like falling rain 
Stitched with threads of endless pain

Broken souls .mp3

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud.
