Party Fun: Joe “King” Carrasco and The Crowns, The Byrds, and Weird Al Yankovic!!!

Cinco de Mayo arrives next week and it wouldn’t be the same without a Tex-Mex Joe “King Carrasco song. Here’s one featuring Joe wearing his crown while romping through London doing “Buena!” Such a happy sounding tune!:

The Kentucky Derby takes place this week which makes me think of one of my favorite songs about horses. “Chestnut Mare” by The Byrds is off of their “Untitled” album. The lyrics and the melody paint such incredible imagery in my mind that when I hear it, I always feel like I’m on that hunt, too. This isn’t an official video of the song, but it’s pretty good!

May the 4th is the unofficial Star Wars Day, as in “May the 4th be with you!”
Weird Al Yankovic [Hall of Fame], gives his usual nutty spin to a cover of The Kinks’ “Lola” from the album “Dare to Be Stupid!”:
