Hello, it's three tunes day. C'mon, let's have a blast with this.
For the record, #ttt (Three Tunes Tuesday) is an ongoing initiative which is organized by
@ablaze for all music lovers. Catch the full gist about that HERE.
Off the top of my head, I decided to come up with old songs that got on the trending list when they were released. This set of songs had a popularity that went far and wide. At least, that's how I rate the songs based on the popularity they got in Nigeria and I vibe to them whenever I hear them.
I'm really interested in knowing if any of the songs I will be sharing are also popular in your part of the world. So, check them out and let me know;
1. Gangnam Style by PSY.
This song became a hit all over the world and most of the people vibing to it didn't have a clue of what the song was about. Even after 11 years of this delightful banger, I still know nothing about this song. All I know is that Gangnam is a city in South Korea. This song's beat is hilarious and the dancing moves are legit.
PSY is one of the musicians who got people drawn to the brilliance of South Korea's music industry. I don't know if any BTS song became worldwide before this song by PSY. However, I will always remember the dude as the first South Korean musician that got me hooked on a Korean music video.
2. Careless Whisper by GEORGE MICHAEL.
Back when I was still interested in radio programs, this was one of the soundtracks used for a particular radio program that I fancied so much. This song brings back memories of that program and the charisma of the presenter. I remember paying #20 to have the song sent to my Mum's memory card. That was when I didn't know anything about how to download songs from the Internet. Haha.
In all honesty, this is the first time I'm paying close attention to the lyrics of the song. My younger self fell in love with the beat and the instrumentals. Lol.
3. Earth Song by MICHAEL JACKSON.
When it comes to Michael Jackson, I'm always spoilt for choice because this legend has a long list of hit songs. I had a hard time picking just one, so I decided to pick my personal favorite of his songs. Earth Song is probably not as popular as some of his other hit songs. Some elements of the song don't feel like a typical Michael Jackson song.
However, this is still the best of his songs in my book. My Dad usually played this when I was a kid and back then, I enjoyed watching the music video because it felt like watching a thrilling action movie. Lol. Dumb me! Watching this song as an adult gives a completely different feeling, especially with all the bullshit going on in the world. The best part of this song is the chorus. I'm a sucker for it.
That's where we will draw the curtain on this edition of Three Tunes Tuesday. Remember to let me know if any of these songs are popular in your part of the world.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop or Comma.
