On a Lundi Gras, you need a song to get you up and dancing. This song never fails.

+12 for the song
-2 for the obvious star grab
On Friday night, EAR and I went to our church's "Cana Dinner": a celebration of married couples with a prayer service, dinner and dance. The church tries to put it near St. Valentine's Day, which also puts it close to EAR's birthday. We had gone three straight years before skipping last year as EAR was in the hospital having just given birth to LBR.
This year's DJ was a repeat of last year's, and neither EAR nor I were fond of his song selection. Whatever one's feelings of CCR, the original version of this song is not a particularly good choice. Midtempo, non-romantic, and without a dance assigned to it. And the DJ still used CDs!
The only songs EAR and I danced to were a coupla ballads, a too-long polka medley, and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Fishin' in the Dark", to which I vowed hate in high school, but, hey, I saw that it was a song I knew that people could dance to.
I love when horn sections are paired with a rock setting
i was surprised when i found out ike & tina were covering CCR and not the other way around.
also, sorry there wasn't much fanfare, but IT'S SHEENIE WEEK!
I have heard Bob Seger's 'Nutbush City Limits' for as long as I remember on the radio. I didnt know it was an Ike and Tina song until like a couple years ago.
Would be cool to see what Ike & Tina could do with "Centerfield"
it's become one of my least favorite CCR songs, thanks in part to overplay. Still, I like their more somber version better.
