Does anyone happen to know the names of those songs they blast during the championship games? It feels like they play the exact same tracks at every major handball tournament and hockey game. Does anyone recognize one of them, or is there just some kind of specific hype mix being used?😍

No matter how exhausted (or maybe even a little tipsy) I am, I always kick off my shoes, wash my hands, take off my makeup, change into my pajamas, and only then do I head to bed 😁
Where can I pick up a decent ukulele? I’m looking for something actually high-quality, not one of those cheap toys that’ll fall apart if you look at it wrong. 😁 👍
I’m looking to pick up a car, but honestly, the whole financing and credit thing makes zero sense to me. My biggest priority is making sure that once I sign the papers, I actually own the vehicle outright. I'm planning on going the used car route rather than buying new.
So, here’s the deal... I need to pick up a car ASAP, which means I’m looking at taking out a loan. I’m thinking about heading over to JPMorgan Chase to ask for one since I already have my checking and savings accounts set up there. Do you think being an existing customer gives me any kind of edge or special perks? Any idea what the interest rates might look like right now? Also, based on a monthly salary of around $4,300–$4,400, how much do you think they’d actually approve me for?
George Garcia24 said:It looks like interest in this thread has totally dried up. Maybe everyone is just lost in thought, deciding who they're voting for in the next election. Since nobody seems to be biting on the quiz questions, I figured I'd just drop the answers here. The Beatles actually covered these three Motown tracks:😢here are the titles, the original artists, their peak positions on the Hot 100, and the years they were released. 1) Please Mr. Postman by The Marvelettes, which hit #1 (1961) 2) Money (That's What I Want) by Barrett Strong, which reached #23 (1960) 3) You've Really Got A Hold on Me by The Miracles, which peaked at #8 (1962)
As for our own female vocalists who covered Motown hits: 1) Dusty Springfield, who did a version of the massive 1966 Four Tops hit "Reach Out I'll Be There," which was a #1 smash in both the US and the United Kingdom. 2) Dusty Springfield, who recorded an awesome cover of The Temptations' 1966 track "Get Ready." That one actually performed better in the United Kingdom, hitting #10, while it only made it to #29 here in America. Interestingly enough, "Get Ready" was also covered in 1970 by the white rock group Rare Earth—who, funnily enough, also recorded for Motown—and they managed to snag the #4 spot on Billboard.
The only person interested was me, trying to figure out those two ladies😬, but I couldn't nail it down. I asked a few people too, and nobody could help me... and why on earth did I even think of Dusty Springfield? 😵 But I definitely nailed that bit about the Beatles! 😁
Just get moving. Forget about hitting the gym; 🙄 those places are always way too crowded.😳 Instead, just wake up early, lace up your sneakers, and head out for a run—even if it’s just for fifteen minutes a day. Join a local library, pick up a hobby, learn an instrument, sign up for a class, or just take a walk through the park... find something that actually sparks your interest. That's how you meet people; you build connections through shared passions... If you stumble, just get back up. It all comes down to willpower. Willpower is a force of nature. It has the power to reshape the very world around you. And remember: anything is possible; "impossible" just means you need a little more time. 🙂 Believe in yourself.
George Garcia24 said:Motown records aren't just pure R&B, but they aren't strictly pop either; they're this incredible blend of the absolute best from both worlds.
That's exactly it.
George Garcia24 said:And then in the second movie, there's that cover of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," actually in two different versions. That song, originally performed by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, was a moderate hit (hitting number 19 back in 1967), but it eventually made its way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Three years later, Diana Ross took it to number 1 on Billboard with a totally different arrangement. She was even nominated for a Grammy Award, though she didn't take home the trophy.
Personally, I think the original is way better, even if Diana turned it into a completely different kind of song.
George Garcia24 said:Otis Redding was a Stax artist, but what's interesting is that his biggest hit in Europe was actually with Smokey Robinson's "My Girl"—which most people know through The Temptations—and it was featured in an American movie about ten years ago.
I'm actually watching it right now, and that song has been covered at least ten times, including versions by Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder... plus, that 1991 movie was titled "My Girl" too.
