Songs For Saturday: David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Sugarland and Sara Bareilles


Hey guys! It's Songs For Saturday! 

So let's do some songs, yo!


If the whole social distancing during the coronavirus epidemic has got you down, maybe some live music will help lift your spirits.

First up is a performance from about a month ago. It's 
David Byrne on Saturday Night Live with a really astonishingly good take on the Talking Heads classic, Once In A Lifetime.  




EDIT: Well, darn it! The grand poo-bahs of You Tube or NBC/Universal took that down.  

Here is a 1980s take on Once In a Lifetime with the Talking Heads from their concert movie, Stop Making Sense.





Next up is a live performance of Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel.



Peter sings while riding a bicycle? Wow! I'm out of breath just watching him do that. 

Up next, we have Sugarland and Sara Bareilles cover "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners. 


Yowza! I love that cover.  

Sara Bareilles makes everything better. 

That's that for this week's Songs For Saturday! 

Until next time, stay safe, stay healthy, be good to one another and keep the music alive.
