Shower Songs and My Top Five Organ Songs
Wanna have a concert in your shower. We’ve prepared the perfect shower sing songs here.
Download the podcast here.
For next week we’re doing theme suggested by my friend Joe (everyone is welcome to suggest songs and themes). He wanted a Top Five Songs featuring the Organ. It’s not an odd request once you consider the amount of songs the organ and electric organ appear in. In case you’re not sure what an organ sounds like listen to this. So here is Joe’s Top Five what are yours.
5. Chips Ahoy, The Holdsteady
4. Sukie in the Graveyard, Belle and Sebastian
3. High Party, Ted Leo
2. Pump it Up, Elvis Costello
1. New Era, The Specials

That was a great podcast Tom. I was racking my brain for ages and could only think of these.
1. Tempted- Squeeze
2. House Of The Rising Sun- The Animals
3. Summer In The City- The Lovin’ Spoonful
1. Procol Harum – Whiter Shade of Pale
2. Arcade Fire – My Body is a Cage
3. Muse – Megalomania
4. Radiohead – Motion Picture Soundtrack
5. (Walter) Wendy Carlos – Corale Prelude–Wachet Auf (first to popularize the Moog synths and a pretty influential pioneer)
4. Daniel Miller as The Normal – Warm Leatherette (the amazing use of synths as electronic music finds its way to post punk!)
3. Lee “Scratch” Perry – People Funny Boy (the first use of the “organ shuffle” as rocksteady made its monumental transition to reggae!)
2. Taj Mahal – Lovin’ In My Baby’s Eyes (he plays harmonica, which is the “mouth organ”.)
1. Arcade Fire – Intervention (indie meets traditional!)
Riders on the storm, by that great organ band, The Doors
And for a different sort of organ – no sniggering down the back – Like a rolling stone, Bob Dylan
I have to throw a few more out there,
Spencer Davis Group-I’m a Man (Legendary tune)
The Castaways – Liar, Liar
Joe Tex – Pneumonia
R. Dean Taylor-There’s a Ghost In My House
Lykke Li- I’m Good I’m Gone
the Caesars – work it out
the murder city devils – press gang
Hmmm, off the top of my head I’d have to go with:
Organ Donor – DJ Shadow
Golden Brown – The Stranglers
Pretty much anything by Stereolab
Rock Lobster – The B52s
Anything that features a Farfisa.
Green Eyed Lady – Sugar Loaf
Oye Como Va – Santana
Time Is Tight – Booker T
