I've gotten hooked on these memes lately...just a phase... don't worry this too shall pass.

Monday Music Mambo - Week 60
Time to chase away the Monday blues with the Monday Music Mambo and by celebrating Carousel Day. In 1871 William Schneider of Davenport, Iowa, invented the Merry-Go-Round. Wow, that's 134 years ago. Sounds like the carousel has been around (heh heh) a long time. Ready? Let's dance, dance, dance!
01. What artist, group, song(s) or lyric(s) do the following words bring to mind: wheel, spin, up, down, horse

Wheel – Tina Turner – Proud Mary – Big WHEEL Keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning….
Spin – Eagles – Out of Control (can’t say why except to me spinning represents being out of control)
Up – Up Up and Away (in my beautiful balloon ) – Fifth Dimension
Down – Down in the Boondocks - Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks – Kenny Loggins
Horse – Run For The Roses - Dan Fogelberg – And it’s run for the roses as fast as you can….

02. You are the mastermind behind a rock-n-roll theme park. Name the park. What would your theme park's mascot be? Create a couple of rides, name them and describe them. Who would record the theme song for your theme park?

Rock Around the World

The mascot would be ….hmmmm… a big cat with a guitar

Rides – Paradise By The Dashboard Light ( this would be an adult bumper car ride )
Big Yellow Taxi Ride – yellow taxis on a rollercoaster type ride
Dead Man’s Curve – a fast paced car ride through a wacky shack
(are you noticing a theme here?)

And who would record my theme song? Jan and Dean or Meatloaf

03. Carousels traditionally play the same songs over and over. Is there a song that you could listen to endlessly?

Two out of Three Aint Bad by Meatloaf
