Return of the summer, so down to the beach for ttt

avatar

Hello Hello to all you music-loving Hivians

It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!

For once that is complete nonsense, well not all of it is complete nonsense, it is almost Tuesday but not quite. Well it is Tuesday in Germany now so here goes!

@ablaze started #ttt 119 weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his latest post Mac Miller for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 118 - 10 HBI shares to be won!

Do go support @ablaze as without him we would not have this mental fun musical activity that you can win HSBI from! I am happy to be one of the TEN sponsors and it is kinda fun checking out music from all over this global village of ours!

Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday

We used to have hot August bank holidays but this year was meh.

We have however, found our hottest spell of weather since June.

It is actually feeling like summer, so today's #ttt has a summer/beach/water vibe to it!

Otis Redding - (Sittin’ on the) Dock of the Bay

Okay so Otis Redding needs no introduction whatsoever.

What you might not know is this was the last song he wrote and it was released after he died in a plane crash.

I love listening to this when I am walking down at the beach near the Tower with waves lapping on the rocks.

The Drifters - Under the Boardwalk

There were so many tunes floating round my head, I should really make a dedicated summertime play list.

Here however is another classic and one of my favourites.

Under the Boardwalk, how many times have you sung this, I know it is heaps for me!

The Ramones - Rockaway Beach

We gotta have a wee bit of punk in our summer!

Mind you I was tempted to include the cover version from Motorhead, ah well maybe next time.

Because I mention beach .... I have to play one of my favourite tunes and here we have ...

Bonus TUNE ~ Martha And The Muffins - Echo Beach

I hope that you enjoyed these Summer tunes.

Which was your favourite (if any) ?

Note: The three YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.

I wish that you all have a brilliant rest of your week, and until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶

Well, I am in the city so yes they do😂😂 I think they are extremely strict with dressing and the sharia rule.

The sharia rule that scares me to be honest. I remember you showed yourself in of those blue things they make you wear.

😂😂😂 I decided to wear it Uncle T. Since I am a stranger I am allowed to dress in what ever way. But no matter how I dress I must make sure I cover my body properly and dress well.

Being a guitar player I can never quite get Radiohead's creep out of my head when I hear Dock of the Bay. Remarkably similar!

Thanks mate for sharing some dope tunes. Enjoyed listening to Otis Redding!.. such a dope number old old. At first I didn't recognize the track by the Dristers, then it came back to me haha - time warp! Genuinely don't recall 'Rockaway Beach'.. but cool to check it out nonetheless. The bonus track was a surprize.. can't remember that one either, but pretty fun tune! Hope you have an awesome week my friend!

Talk about a surprising bunch! Never saw Otis Redding being bunched with The Ramones before! Great picks, it's fun to hear some of those old tunes. Martha And The Muffins I had completely forgotten about, wasn't Echo Beach there only real hit?

Hehe it is fun to try and find a theme and get some common songs, but yeah Otis Redding along side the Ramones who the hell would ever have thought of that!

Yeah that was their biggie so to speak, they had others like Swimming and Paint by Number Heart. Then they were M and M. But yeah really Echo Beach is what they will be remembered for.

I think I came across the name Otis before, I once participated in TTT but that was quite some time ago and I hope to return to participating.

You have chosen nice songs and shared beautiful pictures, the weather here has been quite unpredictable.

Enjoy the rest of your day sir.

Great songs! I was absolutely not expecting The Ramones after the first two. That was a wake-me-up! 😂

Have you heard the 2010 version of Echo Beach? It's .. dark.
