One dictionary reference refers to advice as guidance or recommendations offered with regard to prudent future action. According to songwriters and singers ADVICE comes in many forms from many sources. 

The varied songs in this episode’s playlist offer advice regarding love from The Supremes, The Ferretts, The Exciters, The Shirelles and Petula Clark. 

Monty Python, Bobby McFerrin, Bob Luman are optimistic and Diane Rey is abiding the sign at her swimming location. 

The Rolling Stones’ advice is philosophical, Crosby Stills Nash and Young offer a code by which to live and Devo focuses on the ability to solve one’s problems.

This week we celebrate the thirteenth birthday of Yesterday Once More. We’ve called our theme ‘Anything Goes’ because we are being self indulgent and playing our own song choices.

Mossy has chosen some songs that mean something to her such as Tee Set’s MA Belle Ami , Della Reese’s More, and Stevie Wonder’s Overjoyed.

Rob shows his penchant for big ballads featuring Nazareth’s Love Hurts and Paul Anka’s (All Of A Sudden) My Heart Sings. Also included is Bette Midler’s knockout version of the Carpenter’s hit Superstar.

Many songs start off with one name but on release have another name.

Thunderclap Newman’s ‘Something In The Air’ was originally called ‘Revolution’ but because of The Beatle’s song with the same name it was changed.

The original name for Cher’s ‘Gypsies Tramps And Thieves’ included the words ‘White Trash’ so was considered unsuitable.

The Fleetwood’s 1959 hit ‘Come Softly To Me’ was amended from ‘Come Softly’ the latter being considered too risque.

Perhaps the most unusual and amusing song changes were to The Beatle’s ‘Yesterday’ (originally ‘Scrambled Eggs’) and Patsy Cline’s ‘Crazy’ with the working title of ‘Stupid’.
