Okay, making up for yesterday’s (and the previous day’s) post with this one. A perfect acoustic execution of Rocket Man.
Dim the lights. Turn up the volume. Enjoy.

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
You’ll probably want to go ahead and schedule a few extra sessions with your therapist – you’ll need it shortly after watching The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.
In Nimoy’s defense, it was the 1960s.
Good Name for a Band…
“The Old Chap and the Magic Triangles”
Although the particular reference wasn’t to music but to, uh, old chaps and magic triangles[1] and in particular to the absurdity of having gender-specific-anything.

Hoist the Colors
From one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies – At World’s End, I think.
Hoist the Colors
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will well roam.Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never say we die.Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
– with the keys to the cage…
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler’s Green!The bell has been raised
from it’s watery grave…
Do you hear it’s sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never say we die.
Arr! And it shall be me new theme song!
The Star Spangled Banner
Quite possibly the greatest solo instrumental rendition of the US National Anthem that I’ve ever heard: Jake Shimabukuro, Gently Weeps, The Star Spangled Banner.
