Music Monday: "Lady Willpower" and "Over You" by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap

It's Gary Puckett and the Union Gap theme week for Roxy's Music Monday posts, and here at Roxiticus Best Blogs we're featuring two in one: "Lady Willpower" and "Over You."



Lady Willpower, it's now or never.
Give your love to me and I'll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly.
I know you want to see me but you're afraid
Of what I might have on my mind.
One thing you can be sure of
I'll take good care of your love
If you will let me give you mine.
Lady Willpower, it's now or never.
Give your love to me and I'll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly.
Did no one ever tell you the facts of life?
Well there's so much you have to learn.
And I would gladly teach you if I could only reach you
And get your lovin' in return.
Lady Willpower, it's now or never.
Give your love to me and I'll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly.


Why am I losing sleep over you?
Re-living precious moments we knew
So many days have gone by
Still I'm so lonely and I
Guess there's just no getting over you
And there's nothing I can do
But spend all of my time
Out of my mind... over you

Within the prison walls of my mind
There's still a part of you left behind
And though it hurts, I'll get by
Without your lovin' yet I
Guess there's just no getting over you
And there's nothing I can do
But spend all of my time
Out of my mind... over you

And I guess there's just no getting over you
And there's nothing I can do
But spend all of my time
Out of my mind... over you

And I guess there's just no getting over you
And there's nothing I can do
But spend all of my time
Out of my mind... over you

EntreCard, BlogExplosion, Great Content -- What Are Your Best Traffic Drivers?

As my loyal Roxiticus Desperate Housewives and Roxiticus Best Blogs readers know, Rex and I joined another mergers and acquisitions firm at the beginning of February. One month in, I can report that we're quite energized by our new affiliation. Things are going well, but the move has meant big changes for our whole family... at work, on our commute, for London and Maddie (waking up early for "before care" at the elementary school), and for my blogging routines. Since my time for blogging and visiting Other People's Blogs is now limited, it has become that much more important for me to be as productive as possible in the blogosphere.

I still take advantage of BlogExplosion (particularly the Blog Rocket and Battle of the Blogs) and EntreCard to drive traffic to my sites and to find terrific new blogs to read, but since I'm posting less frequently I've also been trying harder to create better content to grab and holodomor readers who visit through those same services or find my blogs through search engines. What do you find are the best sites and techniques to bring visitors to your blogs and keep them coming back for more? Are there any BlogExplosion or EntreCard equivalents that I have not yet heard about that will be the next great thing? And when is BlogExplosion going to re-approve Mariuca's awesome blog so she can get back in the Battle?

Music Monday: In and Out of Love by Bon Jovi

Care to join me for a little head banging on this snowy Music Monday? The inspiration for this pick comes from the evil Google overlords, who keep changing the page rank of this blog from 2 to zero and back again. I haven't really lost any sleep over page rank, since I've never had any at my high traffic blogs and PayPerPost has been wasting my time for the past two months by offering 50 cent opportunities... I'd be better off watching for lost pennies on the streets of Manhattan on my walk to the office. Right now Roxiticus Best Blogs is "Out of Love" with Mr. G. So I've turned to Jersey Boy Jon Bon Jovi, who can always make a girl feel better, even if his hair in this video is bigger than mine ever was, even in the 80s...



Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I'll pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned

Chorus:
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get ya

Running wild
When me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time
She's here to make my night complete
Then I'm long gone I got another show
One more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Is all she left of her with me
