Body Rock
The other day, it crossed my mind how the word heart is used in so many songs. That got me thinking about other songs mentioning body parts. Here goes, from top to bottom...
(Click on the title to listen to the song.)
Kahit Maputi na Ang Buhok Ko. A classic Sharon Cuneta song penned by Rey Valera. It speaks of a love that will outlast graying hair, wrinkles and arthritis.
I've Got You Under My Skin. A Frank Sinatra standard.
Head Over Heels. A Tears for Fears original.
Whenever I See Your Smiling Face. This is a James Taylor original but the song reminds me more of Side A (and Joey G) and how we were crazy for them during internship.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. Another standard, this time from The Platters.
Dancing Cheek to Cheek. I love the beat of this song.
Put Your Head on My Shoulder. I first heard this song, the Leif Garrett version, as S1 and I rummaged through Tennis Ace's music collection back in the '70s.
I Left my Heart in San Francisco. An ode to the city by the bay.
Hawak Kamay. The most popular song that came out of Pinoy Dream Academy.
On Bended Knee. From Boyz II Men.
Legs. A Hagibis classic. This reminds me of a crazy time in fellowship training as this was a favorite of my batch.
Footloose. This launched Kevin Bacon and was very popular while I was in high school. I remember being impressed with batchmates who knew the moves.
Can you think of other songs or body parts?
