And now for something COMPLETELY different, and yet hauntingly familiar. My Scottish cousin is half-right, this USED to be a local tune, when the oldest mountains in the world weren't cut in half by a wee ocean...
Duelling... accordia?

#KatieLee sang this lolsob song, #theWillToFail, in 1957's psychoanalysis-themed "Songs of Couch and Consultation", so I'm keeping the silly songs rolling for April's #StupidAccordionTricks
To finish off my #StupidAccordionTricks month of songs by kick-ass women songwriters, I climbed into the ring with #Heart's #Barracuda and wound up flat on my back, figuratively speaking. But I had to take a crack at it!
For IWD March I try to dedicate my weekly #StupidAccordionTricks selections to songs by kick-ass women songwriters. #LesleyGore's iconic feminist anthem #YouDontOwnMe technically doesn't qualify, but here it seems I have recorded it regardless.
It's my annual #StupidAccordionTricks conflict of wanting to observe St. Patrick's day with some Irish music but not having any interest in Celtic music (DESPITE playing an instrument that fits with it... the pitfalls of the contrarian.) So here's another #SineadOConnor song - from 1990, #BlackBoysOnMopeds.

In March I try to surf #IWD all month long and focus my #StupidAccordionTricks on kick-ass women songwriters, so here's #MalvinaReynolds' 1964 protest song #ItIsntNice, a tune whose time has come again.
My final love song for February's #StupidAccordionTricks, here's #DanBern's unrecorded (and very silly) #CashAndNin, an NSFW exploration into two tastes that just might go great together.
I regretted not making more #ChappellRoan covers in 2024 for my #StupidAccordionTricks series, but that's easy to fix. In tribute to the indomitable spirit of LA and resilient queer communities everywhere, I have covered #PinkPonyClub on my stupid squeezebox.

What happened? I'm still reeling a bit from the US Election, but I rather get the feeling that the explanation may be sitting out in plain sight in this 1966 #PhilOchs song, #LoveMeImALiberal, this week's #StupidAccordionTricks selection.

Running out of time for more seasonally spooky #StupidAccordionTricks to inflict on the world, I desperately looked way back to the @creakingplanks's ZombieWalk afterparty set to share with you our very improbable condensed arrangement of #FelaKuti's 1977 anti-military anthem #Zombie.
Kicking off this October's program of spooky #StupidAccordionTricks, here's a sales pitch for a deal with the Devil, in #ElvisCostello's #ThisOfferIsUnrepeatable.
RIP #KrisKristofferson, I came around ten years too late to witness his big pop culture splash but for my entire life he milled around in the background just being a stand up dude. Here's his #SundayMorningComingDown for an impromptu #StupidAccordionTricks memorial tribute.
Demi Adejuyigbe has thrown in the towel, leaving the field for others to celebrate the 21st of September according to their fashion. Here on #StupidAccordionTricks, I think you know what that means, so enjoy my squeezy rendition of #September by #EarthWindAndFire!
This time on #StupidAccordionTricks: Last weekend my family held an "ancient Greek" dinner, which churned this silly song about the Apple of Discord from a children's album (JJ's Tunes and Tales, 2012) back into my memory.
For sure I thought that Thrift Shop would wind up being the first #Macklemore song I drew into my #StupidAccordionTricks sphere, but in the interest of timeliness #HindsHall skipped the queue.
#VedaHille wrote the incredible "You Know That Song?" mashup for the 2002 Vancouver Folk Fest but it's still a delightful postmodern musical flex, & festival season is coming up, so I couldn't resist giving it a try for my #StupidAccordionTricks series.

Possibly the most offbeat selection for my April program of silly #StupidAccordionTricks songs, here I jump into the ring with the KLF's improbable 1991 anthem Justified & Ancient:
Happy #StupidAccordionTricks #Easter! In celebration of the occasion I am the eggman... We are the eggmen... #IAmTheWalrus! (Koo koo k'choo!) All these years and I finally play a #Beatles song, and _this_ is the one I pick?
For March my #StupidAccordionTricks feature songs written by and made famous by women. This one is a real case of passing the Bechdel Test but not seeing the forest for the trees, #KatyPerry's #IKissedAGirl by #CathyDennis, from way back in 2008!
The last of this month's love songs for my February #StupidAccordionTricks, here's the greatest lie Stephin Merritt ever told - from #theMagneticFields 2004 album 69 Love Songs, here's #IDontReallyLoveYouAnymore.
