Weekly Song Challenge – Round 36
1. Post a song that is a satire of a hit song.
You can’t beat Weird Al for parodies, so here he is singing Like a Surgeon.
2. Post a song that you love by an artist that was not one of their biggest hits.
Donna Summer, famous for ‘I Feel Love’, ‘Love to Love you Baby’ and ‘Hot Stuff’ here is a lesser-known song, ‘I Remember Yesterday‘ something that’s becoming more of a challenge for me as I get older …… 🙂
3. Post a song that was featured in a tv show or in a movie.
How about Top Gun and Take My Breath Away by Berlin? – In fact, if you take the scenes with this song playing out of the movie, it only leaves about 35 minutes of screen time. 😉
Hope you enjoyed this selection.
Who to nominate?
Well, if you fancy having a go, please be my guest.
I love how you said you were going to play something really old. Evidently, I’m really old. I remember having the Donna Summer’s album and the soundtrack from Top Gun! LOL!
I love Weird Al!! The man’s a genius. 😎

I’m old too. I did toy with posting something from Al Bowlly or Fred Astaire, but went with something almost modern 😉 Weird Al is very clever. I posted his video based on Lada Gaga ‘Born this way’ which was called ‘I Perform this Way’ absolutely hilarious. 🙂

Yep… great video. It’s “Bye Bye Miss American Pie” to Star Wars. I’m not even a Star Wars fan and I love it!

Excellent song choices. I mentioned “like a surgeon” in a comment to Beckie before I read this. Too funny!

I loved that parody and also the one he did of Michael Jacksons Beat It, which was called Eat It! 🙂

Dang! All these memories. Weird Al’s videos were awesome. Every time he came out with a new song, I couldn’t wait to see it on MTV.
