Hello Hello to all you wonderful Hivians and music lovers
Numbers
I was listening to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy over the weekend and of course have 42 in my head.
Then I saw that this week is 144 of ttt!
It got me thinking about numbers and in case 4.
Do you know .... 4/4 means there are 4 beats in each measure and a quarter note receives one count?
Well you might or you might not, or more likely you don't really give a shit, just play the goddamn tunes I hear you day!
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!
Stayin Alive I'm A Believer on the Highway To Hell
I am sure from the title some people will know the songs but for the youngsters I am not so sure!
As you know I love drawing in inspiration from many places for my three tune tuesday post.
@ablaze started #ttt 144 weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his latest post The National for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 143 - 12 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 TWELVE sponsors and it is kinda fun checking out music from all over this global village of ours!
Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday
Today we are going to play three songs that I would not have thought had anything in common.
Today we are going to play three bands that I would not have thought had anything in common.
4/4 inspired ttt
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
So for some of this, Highway to Hell is an absolute banger of a tune from one of the greatest groups of All Time..
The single was from the album of the same name.
Fun fact
Malcolm and Angus Young developed the idea for the band's name after their sister Margaret pointed out the symbol "AC/DC" on the AC adapter of her sewing machine. A.C./D.C. is an abbreviation for alternating current/direct current electricity. The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy and the power-driven performances of their music.

What better way than to hear it live! This was recorded at Live At River Plate, December 2009. It has over 600 million views, just imagine that if it was our own content views.
I'm A Believer by The Monkees
Back to the swinging 60s we go and The Monkees performing I'm A Believer.
Fun fact
Did you know the song was actually written by Neil Diamond and recorded by American band the Monkees in 1966 and got to Number 1 in thelast week ofDecember 1966?
No me neither.
A definite earworm though!
How on earth can I mix this up even more ?
Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive
This is Disco music lol!
A song from the movie Saturday Night Fever released in 1977 and this is another classic.
The opening lyrics ...
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
It gets better with time I think!
Fun fact
As with many other artists during the 1970s, the Bee Gees recorded most of the soundtrack in France for tax reasons.
I hope that you enjoyed these 4/4 inspired tunes.
Which was your favourite (if any) ?
Note: The three four 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 🎶🎵🎶
