OT: May flowers. Another Song Thread

[meyers7]

Since April showers bring May flowers (or Mayflowers), any song/artist that has flowers (or some kind of flower) in the title. Should be plenty of these.

I'll start with a rose.

Every Rose Has It's Thorn - Poison

Watch Maybelle at the 1:09 minute mark. Classic!

With tongue in cheek...

Tongue not yet removed...

(sorry, I've got a bit of a theme w/ flowers during the not summer part of the year)

 

[nwhoopfan]

There are a whole bunch of versions of this song by various artists. Here's one of them. Roses are winning so far.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not a rose. One of my favorite folk singers. Puts on a fantastic show if you ever get to see her and her musical partner in crime.

 

[nwhoopfan]

One of the cheesiest songs ever, but at least this isn't the Tiny Tim version. I saw the Wailin' Jennys cover this (in Mt. Vernon, WA during the famous Skagit Valley Tulip Festival fittingly), but couldn't find a clip of them doing it.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Speaking of the Wailin' Jennys, they've been covering Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" live for years, finally recorded it on an album. The original is great of course, but these ladies have such lovely voices.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I know there are some Linda Ronstadt fans here. Yet another cover.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not in the title, but this song is about bluebonnets in Texas...and life and stuff. Nanci wrote it and recorded it, Emmylou also has recorded it. Can't go wrong w/ either one.

 

[JordyG]

Nat's version is even more charming, but this one is current and almost as effective.

 

[JordyG]

84 years young last month. Many more pal.

 

[JordyG]

Still love this little song.

 

[JordyG]

Two from the same band.

 

[JordyG]

It's all in the name.

 

[JS]

Floribunda. And a beautiful, poignant, wistful lament on the loss of love . . .

 

[CL82]

Ladies and gentlemen the incomparable Marie Osmond


(With apologies to Connie Francis)

No flowers in the shortened title but they play in an important part in this 1967 classic by Scott McKenzie

The first line adds to the rose as the leading vote getter.
