#foolsandjokers

There seem to be two themes for #JukeboxFridayNight this week: #ShineALight and #FoolsAndJokers.

I just remembered that I linked to this song pretty recently for some other reason, but it's worth another listen. Esp with attention to, and emphasis on, the "shine, shine, shine, shi-i-ine..."

Everybody Is a Star / Sly and the Family Stone

I skimmed through the posts and, surprisingly, didn't see this song. It needs to be included, obvs. :) Maybe I'll come up with something for the other h/t later.

The Joker / Steve Miller

This one goes out to all the people that cast their vote in November for all the wrong reasons; these lyrics surely apply to you by now, or some time in the near future (the stock market might have already done the deed).

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief

I'm absolutely sure that exchange is happening somewhere in Republican circles.
I can verify that I'm feeling that sentiment these days.

The #JukeboxFridayNight theme features #FoolsAndJokers this week, only fitting, and there's lots of #Music that tells the tale. There's nothing but sadness going on here in the U.S. because of a whole lot of fools, but we'll try to be in on the joke tonight anyway. I would be sadly remiss if I didn't start off with this one, since spring is busting out all over.
