5 Five Songs

monster · 07-08-2010, 10:39 AM

A little timewaster for you here. Post 5 more songs with Five in the title/lyrics. You can cheat and have one song by a band with 5 in the title if you like. Or you can cheat altogether, who cares, this is nothingland....

Inspired by Zengum in the Musical Message to my Son thread

This song is called Seven Days, but the time signature is in FIVE.

Vinnie Colaiuta, on Sting's "Ten Summoner's Tales", 1993.

Arguably one of the greatest drum recordings of all time:

Do I get extra points if I filmed the song and produced the video myself?

monster · 07-08-2010, 11:34 AM

Too bad the cameras weren't rolling for this:

Quote:

About Colaiuta's ability to play Zappa's notoriously complex music and the complex style of polyrhythms, guitarist Steve Vai told the following story:
“ He's one of the most amazing sight-readers that ever existed on the instrument. One day we were in a Frank rehearsal, this was early '80s, and Frank brought in this piece of music called "Mo 'N Herb's Vacation." Just unbelievably complex. All the drums were written out, just like "The Black Page" except even more complex. There were these runs of like 17 over 3 and every drumhead is notated differently. And there were a whole bunch of people there, I think Bozzio was there. Vinnie had this piece of music on the stand to his right. To his left he had another music stand with a plate of sushi on it, okay? Now the tempo of the piece was very slow, like "The Black Page." And then the first riff came in, [mimics bizarre Zappa-esque drum rhythm patterns] with all these choking of cymbals, and hi-hat, ruffs, spinning of rototoms and all this crazy stuff. And I saw Vinnie reading this thing. Now, Vinnie has this habit of pushing his glasses up with the middle finger of his right hand. Well I saw him look at this one bar of music, it was the last bar of music on the page. He started to play it as he was turning the page with one hand, and then once the page was turned he continued playing the riff with his right hand, as he reached over with his left hand, grabbed a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth, continued the riff with his left hand and feet, pushed his glasses up, and then played the remaining part of the bar. It was the sickest thing I have ever seen. Frank threw his music up in the air. Bozzio turned around and walked away. I just started laughing.[1]

There are a lot of songs here, and a lot are really good. Is it the same for other numbers, or did five get lucky?

Did we ever do that thing where you start at one and count up in song titles?
