As Eclectic As Can Be - Three Tune Tuesday
Hail to the Hive!
Now this is my first time participating in #threetunetuesday and I believe all credit is due to @ablaze for getting this rolling. I stumbled across this recently reading posts from @livinguktaiwan and then today someone I met through noise.cash a fair while ago @tengolotodo posted his Rebel Yell and this got my cogs in my brain whirring as I’m a big music fan. Ordinary I would have turned to myfavourite genre, the blues, but I find myself in an odd mood today and have decided to pluck 3 very different tunes that have provoked emotion from me in past years. So be prepared to be torn in 3 very different directions.
Bo @scubahead selecta…
Now I could have picked any number of Gil Scott Herons tunes as so many speak to me on so many levels. ‘i think I’ll call it morning’ ‘ revolution will not be televised’ etc and I’ve not just chosen him cos his dad played for Celtic FC to annoy @tengolotodo either I just dig this tune so much. Make sure your bass is turned up a little, pour a beverage of your choice and let this wash over you.
So now Imgot you all chilled, relaxed, calm and thoughtful
time to wake up!
Now I go by the monika @scubahead for a good reason as I love scuba diving and adore Motorhead. Seems simple enough eh? Nothing beats the energy, honesty, power and no fucking nonsense of Motorhead and lets not forget humour!
Turn up to 11!
Now if after that you’re smiling and in a playful mood then this next tune is the closer
I will never forget evenings at my old Dive Centres bar in the Philippines playing this tune and literally crying with laughter at either peoples reaction to the lyrics of an edgy 2 live crew tune done in true Lounge Style. Even funnier watching people chatting oblivious to the topic of the song and just digging the Lounge melodies.
Now if you have listened to these!
Then please please leave some comments as music should provoke a reaction and I hope that is just what I manage to do with this selection of , shall we say, eclectic taste.
And if it’s reminded you of any tunes you want to share then link em in the comments too. I’ve had fun with this today and it’s brightened up a grey bleak Tuesday for me and I hope for you also

That lounge song is too much. That’s so funny.
Great Gil Scott-Heron choice!
Hana comedy gold 2 live crew done lounge style!
Who ever would have thought.
That’s the YouTube video I want to see. The crew from 2 Live Crew walking down the street and seeing this guy performing on the corner and being like, Oh, shit. That’s our song. And then performing it with this lounge singer while some old 2 Live Crew fan is filming the whole thing with his iPhone thinking, I can’t believe this is actually happening right now.
They’d be questioning their decision to smoke so much weed in the morning and be in disbelief 🫢
Fuckin a, Gil Scott Herron and Lemmy! Lol, lounge music just makes me cringe no matter what the song is. I can see why it'd be fun to play though, like playing Zevon's Excitable Boy for the soft rock crowd.
We listened to Eat The Rich a lot in high school but it was mostly the Aerosmith tune, I sometimes forget about Motorhead's song, thanks for the reminder!
(edit) You got a particular flavor of the blues you're fond of?
I love all the old Howlin Wolf, muddy waters, big bill broonzy, big mama thornton, buddy guy all that kinda stuff and sooooo much more. For me the Blues is where it’s at. There would be no rock music or any of the music most people listen to today withiut those old pioneers
Hahahahaha, omg, these are definitely absolutely random! Too much fun! I'll admit, though, my favourite of the bunch is Ain't No Such Things as Superman. Smooooooth.
That is a great choooooon for sure.
hehe you learn something new everyday!
Talk about three random tunes, you are as random as I can get!
Lemmy and Motorhead I can play at anytime!
lmao never have I heard Richard Cheese and haha I can just imagine reactions from people at this edgy song haha
Lemmy rules! So glad I got to see motorhead a few times while they were still of this earth
I did see them twice, mental is what I will say!
Welcome welcome @scubahead - pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink of your choosing and have an auld whirl around the #ttt and #threetunetuesday tags where there always promises to be a wealth of quality tunes and you have certainly added to it this week. I always like a bit of Gill Scott Heron and I am always surprised how so few people have heard of him.
Ah cool man, I didn't know that's where your name came from! What a tune, turn it all the way to 12, don't mind your 11!
Me so horny.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
