Song Lyric Sunday

This week the theme is to find a song that was recorded at Sunset Sound studio.

Famous and Historic Recordings

Earth Wind & Fire recorded at Sunset Sound Studio. One of their first albums was in 1971, the year I was born!

Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night, remember
How the stars stole the night away, oh yeah

Hey, hey, hey
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day

Ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-du-du
Ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-du-du
Ba-du-du, ba-du-du, ba-du-da

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love, remember
How we knew love was here to stay

Now December, found the love we shared in September
Only blue talk and love, remember
The true love we share today

Hey, hey, hey
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day
There was a
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September
Ba-dee-ya, golden dreams were shiny days

The bell was ringing, oh, oh
Our souls were singing
Do you remember
Never a cloudy day, yow

There was a
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day
And we’ll say
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September
Ba-dee-ya, golden dreams were shiny days

Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya

    When it comes to Sunset Sound Recording Studios (which I’ve undoubtedly driven past hundreds of times without realizing how much musical history I was cruising by without a clue), I would guess that my favorite song recorded there was something by The Beach Boys.
    .
    But since I don’t know off the top of my head which songs by The Beach Boys were recorded there, I will vote for a song that I know for a *FACT* was recorded there. And that is ‘Chim Chim Cher-ee’ by Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, which was recorded at Sunset Sound in 1968, four years after the release of Disney’s ‘MARY POPPINS’. I actually used Satchmo’s recording in a ‘Battle Of The Bands’ installment on March 1st of last year, but he lost to Dick Van Dyke 7-5. (I personally disagreed with that conclusion.)
    .
    I have recently (over the last 2 or 3 years) kind of “rediscovered” the movie ‘Mary Poppins’ and fallen in love with it, because I read some strong Spiritual messages into it that were not intended, and therefore most folks don’t see them. Fairly soon, I am planning to post something on my F-FFF blog about this. It will likely be a 2-part blog bit, because I feel that what I *has* to say may be too long for a single post.
    .
    Anyway, this was a very cool theme. Sunset Sound… Not only was I born and raised in the city of Sunset Sound Recording Studios, but I even grew up on a street named ‘Sunset’ (but not Sunset Boulevard).
