Jrand, "Golda Meir, My Eye" looks like it's the fiendish work of Rick Unterberg. (I think from a project he presented at BMI)

I also love his "If You'da Been Judah Ben-Hur"

IIRC, the chorus was

If you'da been Judah Ben-Hur. (2x)
What would you have done, if you'd have been him
If you'da been Judah Ben-Hur

Cher, Sure! (reworked from Dinah Shore, Sure! which closed out of town)
On Your Guard, Hildegarde!
Thar She Blows - Gale Storm!
and of course:
It Ain't Mutton - It's Betty Hutton!

Wonderful!

If Dorothy Gale married Gale Storm, it would be interesting, though probably nothing funny.

Hardly anyone came, so the neighbors are getting muffins.

I am glad all of your hard work will still be appreciated.

I expected my colleague to show up earlier, but he finally arrived around 4:45 with needed music and Dropbox aid. I did miss dinner with DR KevinH and former DR Ben, so that's a pity.

Sorry.

A college friend and I invented a game called Cross Works.

Here's an easy one:

Who wrote The Golden Trees?

Oops! Should be The Golden Wake.

Or even Finnigan's Trees.

While we're speaking of Demi and Legrand movies, as regards The Young Girls of Rochefort. The only one who does his own singing is Gene Kelly (maybe also Grover Dale and George Chakiras), in French. But when it was on American TV some 40 years ago there was a dubbed English ST, and Kelly sang on that too.

I actually recorded it on reel to reel with a microphone [!!!]

Anyone if that's available in any format?

I am so confused that nobody thinks when someone who did something wrong at 20 or 25 (meaning not a crime of course) , but has been exemplary for decades after that, it's a valuable lesson for young people that you can remake your life.

Hope that's not seen as political. I'd just love for people not to feel they have nothing to strive for.

I agree with you, and youth is a time for making stupid mistakes and learning from them

The English Young Girls is available in a Legrand/Demy set, complete, and includes the complete French and all kinds of cover versions of stuff.

I thought the same thing when I read Liam Neeson's confession. It should be used as a lesson of things not to do so we don't regret them, vs attacking him for his feelings at the time.

Back from the memorial at the theater. His family, who lived just far enough away that they weren’t involved in his theatrical life to any great extent, have been blown away by the love for him in this community, which was their motivation for planning and hosting this evening’s tribute. It was very nice. So was the food and drink after.

Before you even think of stepping out your door today, consider who lives in these United States, the greatest country in the world, in New York, a hell of a town

"Woman Smashed Eatery's Windows With Baseball Bat After Learning It Was Out of Beef Patties"

Well that's ridiculous, everyone knows the proper reaction in that situation is to roundly curse out the employees , tell them that you are personal friends with the owner, tell them they are all fired. You can cut yourself smashing windows

This is very reassuring: "It wasn’t immediately clear where the woman got the bat from."

It's the Bronx, one naturally carries one at all times in case you run into a situation not serious enough to warrant the use of your gun

Instead, I'm watching an odd oldie called Zaza with Claudette Colbert, Herbert Marshall and in a surprisingly restrained performance, Bert Lahr.
