This episode features songs about loneliness and being alone. 

Songwriters like to write about emotions. One popular theme is to write about loneliness or being alone. Irish singer Gilbert O’Sullivan starts off this week’s program with his poignant Alone Again (Naturally). The Bee Gees follow with a rather anguished Lonely Days. Legendary singer Roy Orbison reminds us of his fine voice with his first hit Only The Lonely. Another sublime voice is Karen Carpenter’s as she gives a knockout performance on the Neil Sedaka song Solitaire. Other songs are Neil Diamond’s Solitary Man and Linda Ronstadt’s fine rendition of Blue Bayou. But one of the greatest songs ever written about loneliness is Eleanor Rigby from The Beatles.

Companies often use music, be it a jingle or a soundtrack, to advertise their brand, product or service.

POP SONGS IN ADVERTISEMENTS include some songs that are currently used in television advertisements and songs that are associated with iconic ads of the past.

For example, The Eurogliders are presently associated with real estate, Peter Frampton with a furniture company and Cindy Lauper with washing detergent.

Gene Chandler’s Duke of Earl was used for the 1988 Decore shampoo ad, Phil Collins’ In the Air Tonight is associated with a 2007 Cadbury’s ad and the Melodie D’Amour tune was used in 1996 for Goulbourn Valley Gold sung by the ‘Oarsome Foursome’.

In this program we’ve avoided any songs concerned with love or loving relationships.

The program starts with the rather outrageous Arthur Brown, nicknamed ‘The God Of Hellfire’ with his band and their best seller ‘Fire.’ This is followed by The Village People’s catchy ‘You Can’t Stop The Music’.

The antithesis of love can be found in Barry McGuire’s prescient, nihilistic Eve Of Destruction while an audience favourite is the quirky You’re Moving  Out Today performed by Carole Bayer Sager.

The Australian contribution comes from Do Re Mi’s Man Overboard  and Jigsaw’s Yellow River.
