My son is going to a magic show at the library today with his daycare. In honor of that (and also because I really wanted to post the first song in this list), here's a small collection of songs by bands with the word "Magic" in their names. Enjoy! ~ JH
1) MAGIC! ~ "Rude" (This song is all over the radio right now, and for good reason. It's quite infectious!)
2) Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band ~ "Sure 'Nuff 'N' Yes I Do"
3) Blue Magic ~ "Sideshow"
4) Ministry Of Magic ~ "This Town" (You'd have to be oblivious not to catch the multiple Harry Potter references in this song, as well as in the band's name. Apparently, this falls under the category of "Wizard Rock," a sub-genre of rock-n-roll consisting entirely of songs about the Harry Potter universe. Brilliant!)
5) Young Magic ~ "Sparkly"
6) Here We Go Magic ~ "How Do I Know?"
7) Yellow Magic Orchestra ~ "Firecracker"
8) Computer Magic ~ "The End Of Time"
9) Monkey Majik ~ "Together" (This is a unique band, Comprised of two Canadian guys and two Japanese guys. The two Canadian lead singers sing two-thirds of the lyrics in Japanese and the rest in English. The strange thing is, it works quite well. They sound awesome! Go figure..)
10) Magic Wands ~ "Space"
11) The Magic Numbers ~ "Love Me Like You" (The members of this band are not traditionally beautiful, and they aren't skinny little waifs or svelte model types. They just play music really well. And they have more than half a million views on YouTube! Maybe there's hope for the music industry after all!)
12) Magic Sam ~ "All Your Love" / "Lookin' Good" (Here's two classic blues numbers for the price of one. Don't say I never gave you anything!)
13) Magic Dirt ~ "All My Crushes"
14) Magic Dick ft. Tommy Castro & The Painkillers ~ "Whammer Jammer" (Despite his laughably inappropriate name, this guy can play the mess out of a harmonica!)
15) Magic Bullets ~ "Yesterday's Seen Better Days"
