I’m installing a web radio onto my website and I need song suggestions. The theme is home improvement (of course) and I need stuff that might be found on Kazaa. Here’s what I got so far… (click)
Thanx!

First thought: "(I see ared door and want to) Paint it Black" Classic Stones.
If you can stand Mr Byrne, "Our House."
Ugh, CRS cropping up, can't remember which group, but for some R&B, "Brick House."
A person could make a case for Sammy Kershaw music, as he's a former contractor.
>> ... can't remember which group ...
The Commodores. Mighty, mighty. Lettin' it all hang out.
Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten? CSN&Y- 'Our House'.
We Built This City (On Rock an' Roll) - Jefferson Starship
Brick is Red - The Pixies
Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin
Out on the Tiles - Led Zeppelin
Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel
Crown - Collective Soul (OK, I admit it's not really about crown molding)
Then there's a few that aren't really about building but about things that will require rebuilding afterwards.
San Andreas Fault - Natalie Merchant
Cities on Flame With Rock an' Roll - Blue Oyster Cult
Burning Down the House - Talking Heads
Tumbledown - Catherine Wheel
And some that aren't about building at all, but describe emotions builders sometimes go through.
Dazed and Confused - Led Zeppelin
Communication Breakdown - Led Zeppelin
Out ta Get Me - Guns 'n' Roses
Standing in the Rain - James Gang
Jesus Forgive Me (For the Things I Am About to Say) - Concrete Blonde
Beware of Darkness - George Harrison
Days and Days - Concrete Blonde
Scene of a Perfect Crime - Concrete Blonde
I Wanna Be Your Friend Again - Concrete Blonde
Ball and Chain - Big Brother and the Holding Company (With Janice Joplin)
Neckbreaker - Big Head Todd and the Monsters
Had to Cry Today - Blind Faith
Sparks Are Gonna Fly - Catherine Wheel
Creedence Clearwater Revival-- Bathroom on the Right ( that's what a lot of peolpe think it is anyway!)
Don't forget that little subject of copyrights. I don't how that would play out on your site but you may well have some legal issues there.
Also - what's with the "it'll keep playing after you leave this site?" How will I get rd of it?

The issue of down loading aside, I think Bob has a point, if it's a commercial web site and the record company finds out and cares they could give him some trouble, the chances of them doing much about it I'd think would be slim, but could still be a headache.
"Don't forget that little subject of copyrights. I don't how that would play out on your site but you may well have some legal issues there"

I'm sorry, what's your problem?
The guy wants to use someone else's property to promote a commercial product, mentions he wants Kazoo stuff ("free download"), and you get upset because he's reminded he has to pay for it?
This is a completely different situation than the download for personal use recently discussed.

If the RIAA decided to shake you down, from what I understand, it could get expensive. I haven't seen anything on how things stand recently, the last thing I saw regarding RIAA licensening of songs to web radio sites was from several months ago:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A31245-2003Jul9¬Found=true
House songs depend somewhat upon your taste in music. These are a few that drifted into my head. Fairly old, though, since I haven't been able to hear music for a couple of decades:
Oh, Don Willliams also did "If I were a Carpenter"
and Peter, Paul, and Mary had "The House Song", but its not exactly about building...
http://www.noelpaulstookey.com/02-02.htm
They may also have done a version of Pete Seeger's "If I had a Hammer".
And "The House of the Risin' Sun", a great number, although it was somewhat of a different kind of house. "The House of Blue Lights"
"My Roofs Got a Hole in it"
I vaguely remember a hit song from the fifties (?) Come onna my house (?) Rosemary Clooney???
One from even further back, a novelty tune: "The Railroad Runs Through the Middle of the House".
and for the younger at heart, although you might have to record it yourself...

John Prine - Grandpa was a carpenter.

"But don't take my word for it. I was wrong once and it could happen again!"
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'd never have thought them up myself. I'm converting the ones I decided to use (most of them) and getting them into the jukebox thing right now. It'll take a couple of hours. If anyone thinks up any more I can still add them afterward so let me know.

"But don't take my word for it. I was wrong once and it could happen again!"
For commercial business
Hotel California by the EaglesMy preciousssss, I wantsss my precioussss NOW.
If you haven't already done so, ditch Kazaa and get Kazaa Lite. Same product but without the spyware and ads. Your song folder remains.Lignum est bonum.
"If I were a carpenter" was Bobby Darin. But if you can find the version by Tim Hardin who actually wrote it, it's much better than Bobby's version (imho) .
Another choice might be The Drifters " Up on the roof"
Or how about The Beatles song that goes "I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in " I think it's simply entitled "fixing a hole"
then there's "Our House (in the middle of the street) " by Madness
does anyone besides me remember the folk song from the 60s called "Little houses" ? little houses on the hillside, little houses made of ticky tacky...
Huey Lewis' "workin' for a livin' "
"Handyman" by James Taylor
I could go on and on, but it's late and the bed is calling loudly
Oh yeah, "little houses made of ticky tacky" - written by a little old hippy lady about the skyline of Daly City. At the time, I was living where I drove by those houses almost every day. The words, in case you want to sing along:

Yep, you get an A on the memory test...
The Country Joe page reminds me that Country Joe's dad was a general handyman who worked on a place where I lived in Berkeley. I didn't care much for Country Joes music but his dad was a darned good handyman.
If you are going to broadcast these songs from your commercial web site, then this would be seen as a commercial internet radio station in the eyes of the RIAA and you'll want to pay the appropriate royalties:
http://radio.about.com/library/weekly/aa013003d.htm
Since your site is commercial, but actually selling a product/service, then you might even need to pay a different set of royalties as your music selections may be seen as advertising.
If you place this on your own personal site, then it's not that big of a deal, but, technically speaking (in terms of the law), you should own a copy of each song you plan to broadcast.
And did anyone mention 'anything by the carpenters' yet?
Oh...also realize that if you get more than a few folks using your stream, your bandwidth useage is going to skyrocket. Check with your ISP before doing this as many ISPs will start billing incredibly high rates once your bandwidth exceeds a certain point.
lets not forget the ever popular...Take this Job and Shove it..

I remember sitting in front of the old b&w tv back in the 60s and watching a several minute cartoon special.
It consisted of scenes with drawings of hillside after hillside of housing developments while that song, 'little houses made out of ticky-tacky', played in the background.
Wouldn't mind seeing that again. A nostalgia strike.
I've posted this remark years ago and caught some heat but....
What the F is up with, "If you were a carpenter, I'd marry you anyway"? and nooooo, I'd NEVER let that stuck up bidch have my baby..lol
F them....whaddamy spose to be a lawyer or an accountant dildo?
And Tim Hardin lived up in woodstock? What got into him that day?
Be a carpenter and proud of it!
