Songs related to diamonds and/or jewelry?

[monarch64]

So I''m thinking of putting together a CD consisting of songs that are diamond/jewelry/gemstone related...anyone have any ideas? So far I''ve come up with "Diamonds are a Girl''s Best Friend" (new perfume commercial with Beyonce singing it, lol), "Bangles, Baubles, and Beads" (think that''s a song, I remember hearing it on the canned music played in a store I worked at in college), "Santa Baby" either the Eartha Kitt or Madonna version, and that''s all I have been able to think of so far. There have to be more out there...my brain is a little tired at the moment though and I was wondering if you fabulous PSr''s had any others to share?

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds but that is not really about gems!!!! That one just popped into my head. Cute idea though, and I love Santa Baby. If the title does not have to contain it, what about "You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful and Your Mine'? Do not know the artist right now...

 

[Kaleigh]

I think the Title is Mockingbird, by Carly Simon and James Taylor. If this diamond ring don''t shine....
Fun idea Monnie.

Kaleigh, my mom used to sing that to me as a lullaby!!! No wonder I''m diamond obsessed, lol! Thanks for the suggestion!

DF, title doesn''t have to contain keywords at all, which is why I''m having a hard time doing a search for such songs. Love Lucy in the sky...perfect. Thank you!

Don''t know if you''re at all into country music, but Toby Keith and his teenaged daughter do a great rendition of this song.

Great idea, Monnie, btw!

An oldie - "This diamond ring" by Gary Lewis and the Playboys

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Here are two:
"Has anybody seen my girl"
Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh, what those five foot could do
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose,
All dressed up in fancy clothes,
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered in fur,
Diamond rings and all those things,
Bet-cha life it isn''t her.
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?
Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh, what those five foot could do.
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose,
All dressed up in fancy clothes,
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered in fur,
Diamond rings and all those things,
Bet-cha life it isn''t her.
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my...
Has anybody seen my...
Has anybody seen my girl?


"For your love" (by The Yardbirds)
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
I''d give you everything and more, and that''s for sure.
For your love.
I''d bring you diamond rings and things right to your door.
For your love.
To thrill you with delight, I''ll give you diamonds bright.
There''ll be things that will excite,
To make you dream of me at night.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love, for your love,
I would give the stars above.
For your love, for your love,
I would give you all I could.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
I''d give the moon if it were mine to give.
For your love.
I''d give the stars and the sun ''fore I live.
For your love.
To thrill you with delight,
I''ll give you diamonds bright.
There''ll be things that will excite,
To make you dream of me at night.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.

[Skippy123]

The 12 days of Christmas has Five golden rings in the song. heehee

 

[Independent Gal]

This is a super cute little tune

"Rough Gem" - Islands

You can probably get it on iTunes?

 

[simplysplendid]

This is fun!

[Skippy123]

I stumbled across 2 more while listening to my ipod

Gwen Stefani - Luxurious Remix ( platinum lightning in the sky and diamond in the rough is lookin so sparkly)

Fergie - Glamorous (gold and diamond rings)

This is a fun thread Monnie; I am sure there are a ton more that we don't realize talk about diamonds, gems and jewelry.

 

[monarch64]

Good job Skippy! I was actually thinking of Glamorous by Fergie on my way to work the other morning! We are "in tune," LOL!

 

[Skippy123]

heeheee Everytime I go walking and listen to my ipod I hear another one!!! Did you think of this one Monnie??

This time Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous Girl
"Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you're still kinda cute"

 

[monarch64]

Another good one Skippy! Nope, hadn''t thought of that one yet but it''s totally appropriate! Hey, which Nelly song is it in which he raps about invisible sets and VVS1? I remember hearing that all the time a couple years ago and now I can''t think of the song title.

 

[monarch64]

Never mind, I just looked it up, it''s that "Grillz" song, lol!

yup... I may love diamonds, but I love muh grill white

Here''s some of those lyrics just for you, monarch

...
had da whole top diamond and da bottom rose gold

...

Got 30 down at the bottom, 30 more at the top
all invisible set, in little ice cube blocks
If I could call it a drink, call it a smile on the rocks
If I could call out a price, let''s say I call out a lot
I got like platinum and white gold, traditional gold

...

I got da diamonds and da ice all hand set
I might cause a cold front if I take a deep breath
My teeth gleaming like I''m chewin on aluminum foil
Smilin'' showin'' off my diamonds sippin'' on some Pinot Noir.
I put my money where my mouth is and bought a grill
20 carats 30 stacks let ''em know I''m so fo'' real
My motivation is the 30 pointers VVS, the furniture in my mouth
piece simply symbolize success



The first song I thought of was that 80s song... Anything, Anything by Dramarama
Linkin Park covered it too.

I''ll give you candy
give you diamonds
give you pills
I''ll give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills
I even let you watch the shows you wanna see
Because you married me, married me, married me

romantic, eh?

I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher

"I got flowers in the spring I got you to wear my ring "

 

[sera]

It Takes Two by Zac Efron from Hairspray

That I''m your man
And you''re my girl
That I''m the sea
And you''re the pearl
It takes two, baby,
It takes two
Doo doo - wop!

 

[Skippy123]

Sera, you are doing awesome!!! Like I said earlier; it is crazy how many songs we don''t realize talk about diamonds, jewelry or gems. I like the first song you posted; I should buy that off of itunes. Heheee more fun music for my ipod

Yeah, there are a lot... and that Dramarama flashback has me in 80s mode now- searching all the 80s stuff on Wal-Mart's music download site. There's gotta be some 80s metal hair band monster ballads about diamonds and stuff

nothin' says romance like pretty, long-haired bad boys in spandex.
