The Doo, Dove, Doocot Collection

Hello hello silver bloggers, music lovers and Hello hivers!

Inspiration don't you just love it?
Well today's inspiration is all a bit serendipitous!

This month well two weeks ago Mrs T announced she wanted to create a YouTube channel and started vlogging daily in December, meaning release a video daily. All very good but as of 9.60pm on the evening of the last day of December she had not even got a YouTube channel!

Fast forward two weeks and I have been made the cameraman, editor and co-creator and it has been a blast!

Talk about teaching an old dog new tricks, it has been fun and it shows that when you get thrown into the deep end you swim. This is how I have led my life and I love it.

Rambling much! Okay so yesterday for Hive I made a post on patterns for the qurator contest, and it actually was about a Doocot or Dovecot that we visited in the grounds of Aberdour Castle near us during last summer.

The Doves and Doos of Aberdour Castle and it's Dovecot and I then used Doo and Doocot being that they are Scottish for Dove and Dovecot on the Scottish Word of The Day segment on Mrs T's vlog yesterday on her channel Yarn ChickHen

So today we are having three songs with Dove in the title!

Although the first one uses what I think of as the Scottish version Doo but in short written format Do! Hey you have to have a bit of an artistic licence in your life right?

It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!

@ablaze started #ttt 238 weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his last post Tom Waits(Frank's Wild Years) for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 237 - win some HBI

Do go support @ablaze as without him we would not have this mental fun musical activity that you can win HSBI from! I am happy to be one of the SIX sponsors and it is kinda fun checking out music from all over this global village of ours!

Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday

Kicking it off with the oldest tune ...

Tune 1 - The Police - De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da

Release Date: 1980
Album: Zenyatta Mondatta

This was from their third album, they released five in all. It is a fluffing nonsense song, but the Do Do Do lyrics popped right into my head when we were talkign about Doos on the vlog yesterday.

I do like them, but like a lot of bands it is the early stuff I like!

^{There was a historical re-enactment when we were at the castle, it was a scorching day and the fellow in the large hat was the landowner Morton who we believe had the DooCot built...}

---

Next up ... no excuse needed to play a single from probably my favourite band of alltime! It's The Nutty Boys themselves ... yep it's....

Tune 2 - Madness - Wings of a Dove

Album: Released as a single (later appeared on various compilations)

The song is highly energetic and features a notable gospel choir (The Inspirational Choir of the Pentecostal First Born Church of the Living God), which gives it a powerful, uplifting feel. It was a major commercial success for the band, reaching Number 2 on the UK Singles Chart in 1983.

Tune 3 - Prince and the Revolution - When Doves Cry

Release Date: May 16, 1984
Album: Purple Rain

I was a Prince fan and had Purple Rain on CD, he was a wee genius!

So there you have it — 3 Dove bangers this week.

Which was your favourite tune? Or have you never heard of them?

Note: The 3 YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.

I wish that you all have a brilliant happy fun and terrific Tuesday until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶

Thanks for visiting!
