Welcome all to another weekly posting of music related topics. This week I'm the host. Other weeks you will be hosted by either @cyclones500 or @CycloneRulzzz. This week the topic is song titles, lyrics, or artist names containing the words "Up" or "Down."
Last week we covered misheard lyrics. That posting can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-do-you-hear-what-i-hear.257317/

My first five:
This is the one I heard the other day that brought the idea/concept of this week's topic to my mind
Ups and Downs - Paul Revere and the Raiders
Jimmy Webb Classic and per Wikipedia: "A canonical example of sunshine pop, themed around images of hot air ballooning, it cleaned up at the 10th Annual Grammy Awards in 1968, winning for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, Best Performance by a Vocal Group, Best Performance by a Chorus and Best Contemporary Song. The instrumental backing was performed by members of the Wrecking Crew,[3] including guitarist Al Casey and drummer Hal Blaine."
Up Up and Away - Fifth Dimension
Down In The Boondocks - Billy Joe Royal
I'm Down - The Beatles
Downtown - Petula Clark
