Thanks, @joe carbols , TBH, I was hard-pressed to come up with a piece that began with "O," lol Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 Opus 46 (In the Hall of the Mountain King -- most everyone will recognize that one)
Great selection @RunningSquirrel. Just to be sure is this the one that sounds like a repetitive march and almost a haunted house and mysterious forest. What if it was a “Mountain Queen” oophs.... wrong post and thread!!!
Eager Beaver (1943) fun Swing Era song by Stan Kenton & His Orchestra (played often on SiriusXM Forties' Channel)
Great tune there @RunningSquirrel or should I say “Running Beaver” or “Eager Beaver”. The Late Great Stan Kenton and his Thundering Herd!! What a great swing band.
Flip, Flop and Fly - by the Great “Big Joe Turner”. Brought back to life in the 1980’s by the Blues Brothers
Co-headlined with Sammy Hagar back in the day. Put on an awesome show. Buck Dharma Lives! How High The Moon, another oft-covered standard. Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington all have recordings, Ella Fitzgerald a vocal rendition. Les Paul & Mary Ford had a great hit with it in the '50s featuring Les' pioneering multi-track & tape delay innovations, but my favorite is a very upbeat version by Gene Krupa & His Orchestra (1946). It swings, baby.
Mano A Mano Hall & Oates great album track off their Private Eyes LP of late 1981, with John Oates on lead vocals, G.E. Smith, guitar
