One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: “Stuck in a Rhyme” by Cool King Chris!!!

For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER)

I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then never get around to it.

Well, now I’m getting around to it!

It will pretty much follow the pattern of The Most Awesomest Song of the Day.

I’ll select a song to celebrate and then give my thoughts about it. Nothing really brand new here that hasn’t been done before. But since I have a website, I can collect them and lay out what my own greatest songs are.

My radio show, “Prime Time Theme Attic,”  is on Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET but is on hiatus because of the pandemic.

Here’s the link for when the show returns: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu )

Even though I always emphasize new music and artists, it’s always fun to take a short drive through the legendary artists, since they influenced those other artists!

But a song doesn’t have to be old or done by a legendary Theme Attic Hall of Fame member to be thus honored.

I can think of several songs that are only a few years old or less that I could identify as One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded.

On days that I spotlight a greatest song, it will take the place of The Most Awesomest Song of the Day.

This will be fun, and hopefully you will join me on my journey…at least sometimes!

Today’s song drives me CRAZY!

“Stuck in a Rhyme” by Cool King Chris from his “Paradigm Shift” album, has probably been on my player longer than any other song!

Actually, it’s one of two songs on the album that smack my gray matter around, but that’s a story for another day!

Putting his Thesaurus and rhyming dictionary to the test, Cool King Chris doesn’t want a moon/June lyric in his songs!

But that’s what makes me…crazy!

I never realized how our brain fills in words for where we think a song is going.

As “Stuck in a Rhyme” moves along, if you’re paying attention, your mind will constantly fill in the wrong words to complete a rhyme in the the lyrics .

The melody is fine! The guitar solo is a nice diversion!

But words are the fixed luminous points in the night sky which are large, remote incandescent bodies like the sun in this tune!

One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded is “Stuck in a Rhyme” by Cool King Chris!!!
