One of the best bands from the 80’s is Dramarama. I don’t think they ever made it big nationally, but they had a huge radio hit with “Anything, Anything” here on the East Coast. This song was pure energy and is still one of my favorite songs of all time.
This week I would like to feature another song by Dramarama called “What Are We Gonna Do?”. Please excuse the mistake in the opening line, we know Earth Day is April 22nd, but I guess they had the date wrong when they recorded it. Seems kind of funny now to make such an obvious mistake when we have instant access to the internet. Back then, song writers just wrote lyrics and I guess nobody took the time to actually check the date.
Anyway, I found this video on YouTube that uses the song with some wonderful images of our beautiful planet. There are also 50 inspirational messages to help encourage all of us to live better and take action. I hope you find motivation in one or more or the messages while enjoying the music.
It’s April 21st and everybody knows today is Earth Day
Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday to whoever’s being born
And now I’m trying hard to think of something
meaningful and worthy, kind of earthy
to make everybody ask themselves just
What are we doing here?
and what are we doing to her?
I don’t know
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
