Blank Anxiety in the Summertime

When the weather turns warm, bare legs, feet, and toes popular out everywhere like daffodils. All winter long, people hide their legs nether long pants. They safely tuck their feet away in airtight-toe shoes. Simply all bets are off in the summertime equally sandals, flip flops, and bare feet become part of the unofficial uniform.

If you lot don't mind showing off your legs, feet, and toes, then make a playlist of pop, stone, land, and R&B songs to celebrate the basic beauty and functionality of these body parts. Legs and anxiety represent much more a way to get you from point A to betoken B.

Love has fizzled between the narrator and her partner in this 2018 pop song, but they haven't cleaved up yet. Unfortunately, they don't touch, don't talk, don't laugh, or even fight. In that location simply seems to be zip betwixt them anymore, thus the narrator gets down on her knees to make her case:

Don't be scared to leave
If I'k not all you lot need
Then just fix me complimentary
I'chiliad down on my knees, this night.

Every bit lovely equally Bebe Rhexa'due south vox is, I have to call a timeout on this vocal to wonder why this sad woman wants to hand over complete decision making to Mr. Wrong? She's obviously non getting what she needs either from the human relationship. Get off your knees, girl, and make a clean break!

Peggy - There truly is a playlist for just nigh everything. Some topics are a petty tougher than others, though.

Peggy Woods from Houston, Texas on April 01, 2020:

At least I was familiar with "Barefootin." It is astonishing at that place are and then many different topics for songs!

FlourishAnyway (writer) from U.s.a. on Oct 17, 2019:

Ramengi - These were fun additions. Thanks for your annotate and have a nifty twenty-four hour period!

Ramengi on October 16, 2019:

I accept 3 more than:

Frank Zappa, "Stink-foot" (Most thorough story? Complete with a talking domestic dog showing upwards at the end!)

Parliament: "Agony of defeet" (by far the best title!)

and a flake more middle-of-the-road:

Sun: "Legs (bring the wolf out of me)"

These 3 are spot on for the list IMHO. All iii don't just mention anxiety or legs, they are *near* feet or legs!

I am not so sure if this actually fits despite the championship, because it isn't actually about legs or feet:

Funkadelic "(Not Just) Human knee Deep"

but then, how many songs on the listing are really about legs or feet?

Zappa also has "Dancin fool" without anxiety or legs in the championship but with the important line "1 of my legs is longer than the other and both of my feet too long".

In that location are many songs about legs and feet. :)

FlourishAnyway (writer) from Usa on Feb 24, 2019:

FlourishAnyway (author) from U.s.a. on Oct 08, 2018:

Tim - I'chiliad simply a little ho-hum on the draw tonight, that's all. That ZZ Meridian song is certainly sexist. The narrator is loving the daughter for her shapely legs rather than her brain -- so like TOTALLY 1984.

But don't worry because the leggy lady went on to get corporate VP of something or other and used a business degree to get there. And the guy antiseptic that it was indeed fried chicken legs that he was referring to, not his friend's legs, as he would never disrespect her.

FlourishAnyway (author) from Us on Oct 08, 2018:

Linda - I gladly welcome absurd weather. Not just do I dislike the rut but also I find it yucky to expect at people's toes. I would much rather have them wrap up those bad boys in some tennis shoes and so I can't see them. Call it weird, merely it'southward just a pet peeve of mine. You're right about that song! That is going way, way back! Take a wonderful night in your wool socks.

Tim Truzy from U.S.A. on October 08, 2018:

Hullo, Flourish,

I'll try this again. I don't call back I posted my last annotate and you may non have seen it.

Your playlist is great. I love the ones I have listened to since first reading your play listing.

Very artistic.

I remember legs and feet should be honored. They are so important and don't become much find, as you pointed out.

I retrieve the Z-Z Meridian vocal, though. On first hearing it, I thought information technology a bit sexist. Simply I enjoy the guitar playing of those guys, so I ignored many of the lyrics.

Even so, your list is wonderful, interesting, and entertaining.

Much gratitude,

Sincerely,

Tim

Shawindi Silva - I definitely enjoy music. Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

Frances Metcalfe from The Limousin, French republic on Oct 08, 2018:

Tim Truzy from U.Due south.A. on October 08, 2018:

I'm glad you mentioned Z-Z Peak first. Although I would brand fun of this song and swore the narrator really wanted some practiced dwelling house cooked chicken legs.
