Musical references
We didn't listen to the radio or a cd-player, but inevitably, the landscape made music bubble up while we were driving around.Here are some of the songs we sang or hummed along the road (on YouTube, in a new tab):
- 'Montana' by Frank Zappa (1973, Over-Nite Sensation album)
"Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon"
with Tina Turner and The Ikettes as backing vocals! (not on this version) - 'Yellow River' by Christie (1970)
Not at all about Yellowstone, but still a yellow river... - ''k Zag twee beren'
See and hear the kids song (in Dutch) we sang to tell the bears we were coming up the trail - 'Foi um Rio que Passou en Minha Vida', original of Touché's samba performance near Jenny Lake: Paulinho da Viola e Velha Guarda da Portela. See Touché's version here
- 'Jackson', sung by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood - written by Jerry Leiber and Billy Edd Wheeler (1963)
- 'The Long and Winding Road' (1969), always a classic when we're driving long distance... - written by Lennon & McCartney for The Beatles' Let It Be album
