March has come in like a polar bear, and will probably go out like a penguin. At least it’s Monday, so for a brief moment you can come in from the cold and enjoy a hot platter of musical chileh served up by DJ Scratchy for this week’s edition of Mecca Muzak Monday! The
Igloo Nest has pulled another gem from the shopper’s soundtrack, and this song is nearly a decade old!
That lady in the flower dress is Courtney Jaye. She doesn’t have much of a Wiki page, and most of it is dedicated to chronicling the places she’s lived in her however long she’s been alive life… and we have to guess because it doesn’t even list the fucking birthday of a supposedly popular musician.
Anyway, Courtney was born in Pittsburgh
Moved to Georgia
Then Arizona…
When the dry heat wasn’t good enough, it was on to Hawaii…
LA… Austin.. Nashville…. geez, she puts Hank Snow to shame in the I’ve Been Everywhere game. One place she isn’t credited with living is Mecca, where her one noteworthy song got the coveted sixth spot on the 2014 Winter CD. Here is Courtney Jaye’s 2005 single “Can’t Behave”:
Jaye is just the latest of many artists I’ve featured on MMM whose Indie credentials keep them from being a household name, but who have nevertheless found a portal to popularity through the Mecca CD. As you may have guessed from the graphic on that YouTube video, the song also appeared in the 2006 movie “Aquamarine”…
And yes, I like the song, or else I wouldn’t have bothered to feature it here! Tune in next week for another Mecca classic that tickles my fancy, and warms my cold, snowy heart….
that song could be my national anthem….do you think the band of HRM can play it when I vitit the UK?
I would ask Prince Chuck, but we haven’t been talking since he stated he wanted to kill all the grey squirrels…
Is it weird that I think that snake is beautiful, and I don’t even like snakes?
Maybe you have a thing for piebalds. This is the post I used that snake in first…

Got anything that melts snow? ‘Cause we got a lot of melting to do around these here parts and maybe some hot music would help … ? There must be a cure.
Maybe we should try bringing back the lambada. The forbidden dance was pretty hot, and would probably warm things up well beyond the melting point…
You need a “this post will make you snort milk out of your nose and pee your pants laughing” warning for this one.
Ms Jayne is 32. By the look of her pictures she takes herself way too seriously. But the big news here is the “kitten cam” on the Animal Planet web site. Too cute! Whoops, distracted again… We loved Aquamarine and used to sing along to the sound track with the kids.
LOL! I had no idea this was even one of my funnier posts! Kittens never take themselves way too seriously… at least not until they become full grown cats…
It’s like the Mecca CD is a gateway for fringe artists to get noticed.
Which is incredibly ironic given how corporate a company Mecca is! Then again, the rights to play their music is probably cheaper, and Mecca is all about the cheap!
fishy?
