Welcome back to “On That Note,” CF’s weekly music exploration, co-hosted by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.

This week with the Olympics coming up we are looking at songs with gold, silver and bronze in the title or lyrics. Artists with a connection are also allowed as words including keywords i.e. golden, goldfinger etc.

As always if it's a lyric example please try to provide said lyric.

On That Note: Long Tall Shorty

Hey all, Welcome On That Note, where we present a musically themed post every week. Your hosts alternate between @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me. This week is my turn. Recently, I was thinking about the first Elvis Costello album, specifically the song Welcome to the Working Week. Great...

songs with both gold and silver

Well they tempt you, man, with silver
And they tempt you, sir, with gold



Gold and silver shine

Artist and title 2 fer - Andrew Gold with song that became the Golden Girl's Theme



Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball



And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

I can't pass up this golden classic. This is the best song by America.



One of my favorite songs with silver in the title.



Lonely People by America

Lyrics:

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky

I actually think this is Steve's best vocal performance.
There's a band of gold that shines

 

[MeanDean]

"Fly the ocean in a silver plane"

 

[Cydar]

 

[MeanDean]

"Sail on silver girl..."

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I took my troubles down to Madame Rue
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth



It's my creation--I do not know
No hesitation--No heart of gold




Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold



I used to have a lover with a Midas touch
I turned to gold but he turned to dust

 

[Cydar]

 

[MeanDean]

"You got a brand new soul,
Oh, and a cross of gold."

 

[Cydar]

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

The night was young and the moon was gold



Calls to mind a silver screen



Send it straight to gold

 

[MeanDean]

"Silver wings upon their chest"
