Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a parody of the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the parody of the cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: WISECRACK!
-
There's no such thing as too much Sondheim!
-
Of course, there's also no such thing as too much Kimmel, either. ;D

And I'm not talking about Jimmy.

Topic of the Day: Liz Callaway's "Another Hundred Lyrics," written by Lauren Mayer.

Irving Berlin’s X-rated lyrics for You’re the Top
Noel Coward’s parody of Weren’t We Fools
Cole Porter’s spoof of Noel Coward, What Not Shall I Do?

Fred (aka FJL) has also written some pretty funny parody lyrics.

Notes perused. Parodied.

The Rutles songs were great parody.
-
Good morning friends.
-
I came to my computer this morning to find myself still logged in here, my "Good night, friends" post from last night unposted.
-
So I never really left.

Parody parity.
-
DR Ron Pulliam, my comment was about page seven, not about the haircut.
-
Good morning, all!
-
DR Jrand72, is it too late to be in Grease? I know the shuffle-ball-change.
-
My appointment for today has been moved - again! - to next Tuesday following last night's health crisis. I am so sick of this mess.
-
I slept all right. I had another peculiar dream, but I can no longer remember it.
-
DR George, I saw the London production of Saturday Night, which was itrs first production. I think the book is dreadful. You have to sit through that to get to the songs.
-
DR George, small cast shows I like:
Man With a Load of Mischief
The Sap of Life
Birds of Paradise
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (original)
The Last Sweet Days of Isaac
The Grass Harp
Baby
The Brain from Planet X
Promenade
-
I need to talk to Joshie today. I've owed him a call since Tuesday. I will spend the day hopefully finishing up No. 24, and I can then consider Act One finished.
-
Good morning

I have no news to share

Just sitting in the recliner with my morning coffee

June is National Accordion Awareness Month. Just so you're aware.
I suppose I could squeeze in some thought about it.

John I love your pictures from yesterday, especially the selfie and sand
-
Am having my cup of coffee now. I hope to have only ONE this morning. That's my norm, although I have lately gone outside the box and had two...mainly because of those blueberry muffins. I have one left, but I'm not hungry right now.
-
DR Ron Pulliam, my comment was about page seven, not about the haircut.
Well, you did make the comment and then start a countdown. Once you hit the age number, you posted your next comment. I thought it was a follow-up to your previous comment.
I shall endeavor to stop reading anything into your posts (although that is an unlikely outcome).
-
"Morning Joe" is on in the background.
Mika is talking to a lady about how inequitable divisions of work are between men and women in households.
Prior to that, it seems the Fed has raised interest rates again...in fact, for the 10th (was it the sixth) straight time. A first, regardless.
-
Donald J. Trump calling Jack Smith "a thug" is absolutely absurd.
Insiders say Trump is truly scared for the first time in his life.
I don't feel sorry for anyone other than the rest of us.

Here, kitty!

Glenda Jackson has died.
She was 87.

Good morning, all.

Is it paradoxical to think paranoid parakeets partake in parody while parading under a parasol?
We'll have to wait for an answer from DR Jrand72, when he isn't too busy parrying with the paranormal.
-
Whew. That took a lot out of me.
Damn it to HELL, that's my exercise for the day.
-
Now I'm ready for a good hearty breakfast.
Which I think will be an egg and cheese sandwich on the last pathetic little hamburger bun in the house. Time to go shopping.
-
DR CHAS SMITH my guess is that yes - yes they do.
-
DR CHAS SMITH my guess is that yes - yes they do.
Oh, well said, DR Jrand72!
-
I am loving the photos from DR JOHN G as well.
-
I love a good parody.
I used to write some when I was ten or eleven...but these are lost in the mists of time.
But since the TOD is FAVORITE parody......while there are so many - my absolute brilliant favorite is MR BK's "Auditions" set to the music of "Tradition" from FIDDLER. It just gets funnier as it goes along...and it has truth, humor, and lots of surprises.
I think I saw a video of it on YouTube, but I can't find it.
-
DR John, please report back what you think about the book compared to the mini-series of Wives and Daughters.
-
More beautiful photos from DR John.
-
WOW on that sunset.
-
From what I can see of the new shirt, it is very nice. I like the blue.
-
Here, kitty!
LOL! That was a huge guffaw!
-
John, you had me laughing out loud about the singing commercials and your old and grumpy song ;D
-
It is cold here this morning.
-
Since the cold temps were unexpected Keith did not bring a second layer of clothing.
-
I always have a zip up hoodie and a vest.
-
It was a good morning to go to the drive through coffee hut instead of walking g to the coffee Cafe near our hotel.
-
Then we continued to the Great Harvest Bread Company for fresh cinnamon bread.
-
I think my "hate" commercial now with lyrics to a famous song is the one about Colo-guard and the folks singing about it to the tune of "My Way."
-
Of strictly 1:1 song parodies like BK is talking about, I think Homer & Jethro were the best in the biz.
In 1952, they did an EP of Frank Loesser parodies, I think Frank may have even helped them rewrite some of these. He did write the liner notes.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8YtJ-m7-_gM&pp=ygUUSG9tZXIgamV0aHJvIGxvZXNzZXI%3D
-
Ah - I had forgotten Homer & Jethro.
And of course Allan Sherman is right up there as well.
-
George, last night I read that the West End production of CABARET will transfer to Broadway next year, starring Eddie Redmayne.
Maybe that’s why the rights were pulled.
-
Favorite parody:
The Boy From…
By Mary Rodgers and Stephen Sondheim
-
Ah - I had forgotten Homer & Jethro.

I LOVE Allan Sherman!
-
I enjoy every parody by Randy Rainbow.
He is so clever and witty, and he also has such a good voice.
-
There's no such thing as too much Sondheim!
I agree!
-
I think my "hate" commercial now with lyrics to a famous song is the one about Colo-guard and the folks singing about it to the tune of "My Way."
Truly detestable.
I mute it immediately, along with pretty much every commercial these days.

George, Ruthless! The Musical has a cast of six.
And I’m really happy that you’re feeling better! 😊

Oh, Rodzinski, Sharon and Charles would love to meet up with you!
They’ll be in Vancouver, BC, for one week, starting on June 29.
Do you still have Sharon’s email address?
-
Hello DR IRIS....have fun in the secret garden.
-
A couple of Allan Sherman songs that come to mind:
Al 'n Yetta
The Mexican Hat Dance
My Zelda
The Ballad of Harry Lewis
Shake Hands With Your Uncle Max
-
Thanks, JRand!
It’s a pollinator garden.
All of the flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees 🐝. The bees are mostly bumblebees, who are very gentle, and frequently fall asleep inside a blossom, drunk on nectar.

Much as I did not want to step out, I had to gird my loins - ouch! - and go to Staples. When I stepped out the front door to the sidewalk, a young man was walking toward Broadway. I stopped him and asked if he would hail a cab on Broadway and send it down to me on 82nd Street. He said he could do that, and five minutes later a taxi pulled up in front of my building. I got to Staples and all five scans worked today.

Now the bad news. This week was the third package with tracking the US Postal Service has lost in the past four months. What the fat hell is going on?
-
By the time we left for Keith’s appointment it had warmed to 54 degrees, much better than 38 degrees.

We are heading home now, only three more trips to go.

George, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has a cast of 9.
A funny and touching musical by William Finn.
I’m a big fan of his work, but realize that some are not.
-
Has your theater company performed The Mystery Of Edwin Drood?
-
I had totally forgotten that I was to have my HVAC serviced today. Annual checkup. It was supposed to be at 3, but he finished an earlier appointment and asked if I minded 1:30.
Mind? I don't think I mind. I have nothing BUT time.
-
That wasn't intended as snark. I am delighted the work is now being done.
-
It did, however, get us to page 4.
-
I am still waiting for a picture of DR scrimshaw's new professional haircut.
I fear moss will grow.
-
Why would anyone, much less Jimmy, crack corn?
There IS a story behind it. A rather dark story.
It has another title: "The Blue Tail Fly", but those words aren't in the lyrics.
In slang, however, the song is an indication of folks just sitting around and sharing gossip.
I guess you could say we all crack corn one way or another.
-
For those inclined toward watching:
There is a new season of Project Runway (for Jrand72, that's Pwoject Wunway).
Apparently, folks from previous seasons make up the new cast of designers.
May work. May not. Won't know until I watch all the bitching and stuff.

Like, a dozen, maybe? 😊

I bought five shirts for $62. That’s the first I’ve worn.

I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned Forbidden Broadway yet. Loved those parodies. Favorites included:
Ethel and Mary on Mutual Aggravation Society (“And now I’m Going to do a duet!” Ethel bleats.)
Fosse, Bennett and Prince take on Triplets
Patti LuPone’s mangled lyrics on Anything Goes
Neath the Ashkeban, Tblisi and Kiev Express for Anna Karenina (Better than the music in thst show.)

Gratuitous post 100!

John G., YES!
Forbidden Broadway, always brilliant.
Attended many of their performances, and have purchased several recordings.

Also purchased the book, Forbidden Broadway:Behind The Mylar Curtain.
Lots of anecdotes and parody lyrics.

Best way to remind you, ask to arrive early.

I sent the seller a message about the missing package, and ended it by stating that if the package was perchance returned to them, I still wanted it. The seller replied erather nastily that USPS never loses a package with their tracking numbers, implying, I guess, that it couldn't be lost, as if I were pulling a scam. My response to that was not so friendly.
-
USPS never loses a package… Can you hear how hard I am laughing over here?
-
I love that the seller thinks tracking means they don't lose a package.
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.
-
Waiting for a Zelle payment for last Saturday's Kritzerland show. Was hoping it would be here already, but...

Recently, Fox "News" claimed that the White House had flown a "controversial new transgender flag that promotes grooming and pedophilia."
This is the SAME FLAG that Fox itself used to wrap its logo in its 2022 Social Responsibility report.

I am going to hear a pianist at a jazz club tonight. I am going unwillingly - I simply don't like to go out anymore. But I am going.

FIVE!

Been remembering Glenda Jackson’s amazing body of work. I really loved Elizabeth R back in high school. But my favorites were her two films with Walter Matthau, House Calls and Hopscotch.
-
Hello, 5 guests.
-
The air quality here right now is 101.
-
Last night it was over 200.

I was not hereforto familiar with Homer & Jethro.

That was a Jimmy Cracked Corn joke, I hasten to add, lest you think I genuinely didn't care about the lore you presented.
-

I think I have about 30 of their albums. They never fail to put a smile on my face. Aside from the musical comedy, Jethro Burns was one of the best to ever play the mandolin.

Hopscotch was a spy thriller comedy. It was more Matthau than Jackson, but they were so good together.

I forgot to answer DR JOHN G's question from yesterday - we are massacring the Broadway version of GREASE that contains all of the references to jugs, knockers, and rubbers.....but the lyrics of GREASED LIGHTNING have been softened somewhat.....

-

How have the reviews been from patrons of the arts? Audiences digging it?

For anyone inclined to watch "Project Runway", I previewed last night's episode that introduced all the designers coming back.
Among them, Kara Saun, Rami Kashou, Korto Momolu, Kayne Gillaspie, and a bunch more.
-
I will record the series, and fast-forward to the runways and evictions.
Last night, Nina Garcia and Christian Sirano put on runway show for all the former contestants.
The designs were the ones each of the designers had done on their last appearance in their season or in an all-stars season.
The first challenge is to reinvent that look...or the intent (don't have to use same fabrics or designs).
That is the crux of tonight's 1st challenge episode.
-
Now I know some of you don't care about "Project Runway", and I cannot say I blame you at all.
Seeing all those failed warriors from previous seasons is kind of a hoot if you've watched those seasons and "remember" the designers. Some I have no recollection of. Others are all too familiar.
Viktor Luna is one of them and has already started up some s***.
-
All of that said, I will not be reporting back on any given episode unless someone else comments.

The one time I consciously thought, nah, I'm not gonna add a smiley-face to indicate "joke"!
-
Was big into Project Runway maybe through the first 6 seasons (minus the first). I wonder how many of the contestants I would recognize. I quit the show cold turkey after a girl from like Oregon and her homely hippie designs beat a more deserving champ.
-
Kayne, Rami, and Korto are the people I recognize. I remember Rami as being nice.
Gosh, there have been a ton of seasons since I watched. I guess the diminishing returns thing happens after a show like this runs awhile, like with The Voice. You start to go, this thing isn't producing that many superstar designers! Siriano being a big exception.
-
No Zelle yet - very concerning.
-
No Szell, either, I daresay.
-
I shall be on my way around 5:50 to the mail place - books are here - and then to the theater. We had an actor emergency who'll now miss two of the four rehearsals. This is no longer a workshop, it's a slapped together thing no different than the one-nighter we did a year and a half ago. The original pitch for me to come back and do this was two WEEKS of rehearsals, not two DAYS. I'll be lucky to get it all staged in time to do any run-throughs.
-
That completely sucks.
-
I was assured and promised this Zelle thing was happening today. There's only one business hour left of today. I've sent three emails about it, to no response. I have a phone number but not for the guy who said it would happen, but still, in ten minutes I'll make a call and see if I can get the guy's number or if his partner can do anything about it.
-
Glenda Jackson has died.
She was 87.
I just saw that. :(
-
Talked to the gal who works with the guy who's doing the Zelle. Apparently, he just got to his office and it will come shortly. That was ten minutes ago. And I'm out of here in forty minutes.
-
George, last night I read that the West End production of CABARET will transfer to Broadway next year, starring Eddie Redmayne.
Maybe that’s why the rights were pulled.
I wouldn't think that that would affect us. Broadway is too far away. Now, maybe if it toured and that came around at the time, that (to me) would make more sense.
-
George, Ruthless! The Musical has a cast of six.
And I’m really happy that you’re feeling better! 😊
Thanks for the suggestion, Iris, but Ruthless was just done in Olympia a few years ago, so it's too soon for that one. And thanks, again!
-
Now the bad news. This week was the third package with tracking the US Postal Service has lost in the past four months. What the fat hell is going on?

I wish that i could have seen her perform live onstage.

According to her obituary in the NY Times, she had recently finished filming her last film with Michael Caine, which will be released at the end of the year.
The following quote, which was shared by the NY Times theater critic, really took me by surprise.
Never would have imagined that Glenda Jackson felt any anxiety when performing onstage.
-
. “You can go onto that stage every night,” she said, “and it’s always the equivalent of going onto the topmost diving board, and you don’t know if there’s any water in the pool.
“Every time I say, ‘Yes, I’ll do it,’ I think, ‘My God, I don’t know how to do it. I can’t do it.’ We are sadomasochists as well as being brave, actors, and we torment ourselves.”

Has your theater company performed The Mystery Of Edwin Drood?
Both of these shows were already mentioned at the cast party where this conversation got started, so she was already aware of them. I love Drood but the voting might not easily work in the theater at the college.

I should post more as DR George is creeping up on a major milestone....
-
Passing my post count ;)
-
It is funny as for the longest time no one was even close to me.
-
George, the day you pass me, you really should take a milestone photo :)
-
Before I go, DR Rodzinski are you able to get prescriptions at a better cost in Canada?
-
Passing my post count ;)
It'll still take some time
-
Did I ask that question already? I can't remember.
-
George, the day you pass me, you really should take a milestone photo :)
You betcha!! ;D
-

Go for it.

Cannot. Have to get prescriptions filled in Blaine or Bellingham.
-
How could I forget?? Exactly one year ago TODAY, I bought my new car!!
-
Of course, I didn't have use of it for about two whole months because of the broken window and then the instrument panel warning lights, but HOPEFULLY, it's all done with crap like that!!
-
I hope DR singdaw is enjoying the music.
-
I hope MR BK got his $$$.
-
DR JOHN G the folks buying singles tickets are loving the show - they coming to see their kids in the show....and coming back and coming back....
The regular season subscribers aren't as enthusiastic.....I expect we'll get a couple of letters about language and situations.....

Was big into Project Runway maybe through the first 6 seasons (minus the first). I wonder how many of the contestants I would recognize. I quit the show cold turkey after a girl from like Oregon and her homely hippie designs beat a more deserving champ.
That was Gretchen and her ready-to-wear sports collection, I'll bet. She won because Michael Kors threw a sh**-fit when Mondo Guerra refused to follow Kors' pre-Fashion Week runway advice to change a polka-dot evening gown to one that was all black. The other judges loved Guerra, but Kors pursed his lips and would not budge.

I wish that i could have seen her perform live onstage.

DR Rodzinski: I don't know if you remember Siriano's partner in one of the challenges - a guy named Chris March who specialized in outrageous drag couture in the Bay Area, IIRC.
March and Siriano did two looks that blew the judges away, one of which had a huge constructed collar.
Chris March died a few years ago.
In Mondo's season, there was a guy everybody seemed to hate. His name is Michael Costello. Michael, unlike the rest, had no formal training. He was self-taught. He didn't cut patterns. He draped his fabric.
In some of the challenges, he would create four or five different looks until he was happy with one. All the rest of the designers would struggle to complete one look. And Michael would usually finish in the top three or simply win a challenge outright.
In one notable challenge, Mondo was partnered with Michael. He let Michael know he had reservations about working with him. End result, however, was the Mondo found out Michael was a natural, gifted designer and they ended up winning the challenge and becoming fast friends.
-
I guess it's fair to say I regularly watched until recent seasons. I have always checked out the finales but gladly avoided the drama and ugliness that always pervades.
However, now that I am familiar with most of the current crop of former contestants, I'm going to have to watch.
Kayne Gillaspie won the first challenge.
-
I think I have that all out of my system now.
-
DR Rodzinski: You don't have to worry about smilies. I figured you'd let me know privately if I ever tick you off.
-
Will we never get off this accursed page?

I have noticed DR Singdaw is active on the forum, but not posting.
Perhaps he is popping popcorn?
-
Or, perhaps he is out looking for more guests to fill the void.
-
Back from the jazz club.
-
He also may have simply fallen asleep without logging off like he did last night.
-
I must say, I hate the idea of going out to a place with people in it. But usually, I am glad I did.
-
Back from the jazz club.
Is that a euphemism?
-

Funny. I hate going out to a place people avoid. It doesn't bode well for either food or entertainment.
-
In this case, all three musicians were simply astounding - the pianist, the bassist, and the drummer were all world-class calibre.
-
I don't know must about jazz, but these musicians were really just superlative.
-
The opened with the most raucous, driving version I've ever heard of "The Surrey with the Fringe on the Top" meandered through Dizzy Gillespie and others, and ended with "Over the Rainbow."
-
They played in many of the jazz styles, from the 20's and 30's through to present day.
-
The place was sold out and they were thunderously received.

If you ever have a chance to hear Emmet Cohen, don't miss it.

Alex McCaskill, the Fox "News" producer who wrote the chyron broadcast last night, labelling President Joe Biden a "wannabe dictator," is no longer employed there.

Snatched up by One America or NewsMax? Or fired?

It sounds as if you had a wonderful time. That's great!
-
Thanks, DR Ron Pulliam.
-

Probably both. It just says they have "parted ways."
-
Will we ever know if BK got his Zelle loot?
-
The play workshop situation is really a disappointment. Deplorable, really.
-
Good night for reals, friends.
-
Vixdad and I just watched a fun movie called “See How They Run” . Quite enjoyable .

I was going to mention it!
-
I saw The Music Lovers in 2009 at my favorite movie theater, The Aero in Santa Monica.
They often had cast members and directors in person for the Q and A session afterwards.
-
That night, Richard Chamberlain (❤️) was there.
He discussed how difficult it was for him as a gay man during his years as a famous actor in the 60’s.
He was still VERY handsome.
-
The movie was quite disturbing. Lots of nightmares, flashbacks, gruesome ending.
Andre Previn’s music was pretty good 😉 but I would not want to see the film a second time.
Of course, the music is all composed by Tchaikovsky.

Previn adapted Tschaikovsky's music for the score.

That was quite a scene! Apparently, the strap that the suspended cameraman held broke, and he landed on top of her!

Thank you, singdaw, for sharing them with us.
So happy that you were in the audience!

Hello, everyone.
-
So glad you’re feeling better, George.
-
Sing, I understand your reluctance to be out around people, but I’m glad you did so and had such a good experience. Thanks for the clip.

What?! They actually have some standards? Or maybe they were afraid of getting sued. In any case, good news.
-
Continued healing vibes for Keith.
-
Very tired.
Good night.

Back from rehearsal and then a CVS run to get Claritin-D and other stuff - twelve people on line at the pharmacy - at ten o'clock! What is with THAT? Took twenty-five minutes to finally get out of there, but boy did I save dough - total was 40 something, but i had a ten-dollar coupon, and 30% off email coupon that I sent to my CVS card - total with discounts and tax? 18 bucks.
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
Has George gone down some damn rabbit hole.
-
What?
-
Why?
-
I don't hear you.
-
Having a few gummy things.
-
Had the tiny pepperoni pizza for food earlier.
-
Picked up boxes o' books, 100 Pepcid tablets, and best of all, two green envelopes from the WGA - two residuals for The Faculty and I'll be able to have a few nice meals with it.
-
I am a voice in the wilderness.
-
Or am I a wilderness in the voice?
-
These are the kinds of questions that keep me up at night.
-
Zelle is really an idiotic thing, I must say. They tried to Zelle me the dough, but because they've never sent me money before, Zelle put a limit on what they could send. Why? They're sending me money - what's the big deal? So, what should have been one transaction now has to be three. They sent part one, will send part two in the morning, and part three on Saturday morning.
-
Ridic, ain't it?
-
Natch, Gloria, natch.
-
I don't know.
-
Shouldn't page ten be around here somewhere?
-
I'm sure it is.
-
Is there gaslighting going on?
-
See?
-
Now, George best get his butt cheeks out of the damn rabbit hole.
-
I don’t know from Zelle.
-
BK, how was the rehearsal for the workshop tonight?
-
So glad you’re feeling better, George.
Thanks, Jeanne!

Darn. Eyes will not stay open.
Good night, all.
Sleep well, and have an enjoyable Friday.

Of course. Can't change now, can I?

Guy came to install our master bath shower door glass today which would finally complete a renovation that has lasted since Feb. But he brought the wrong hinges and has to order the right ones. Living where I do, this will be at least a couple weeks until he makes it back around here.
-
Someday I’ll use that shower.
-
As jehovah is my witness.

Oh, no! :o
-
Meanwhile our window that a bird smashed is on order. Just a couple weeks till that arrives. Our renovation contractor, who lives on my street, agreed to help install it. So I canceled my insurance claim as we won’t come close to the deductible.

Is “Sports Day” a thing in the states? All the Canadian schools have a day at the end of the school year of athletic competition among classes, and general merrymaking.
-
I sort of remember a tug o’ war and stuff at my gradeschool in Indiana, but nothing like it when we moved to Georgia.
-
Midnight. One more night without sleeping.
-
Watching. Till the morning comes creeping.
-
Green door, what’s that secret you’re keeping?
-
Knocked once. Tried to tell them I’ve been there.
-
Door slammed. Hospitality’s thin there.
-
Wonder, just what’s going on in there!
-
My best pal back in first grade and I used to play 45s for each other over the phone. He only had his parents’ records, so he played me stuff like Green Door.
-
Back from an amazing dinner. More tomorrow.
-
It was spectacular.
-
One more.
-
Gratuitous post 300!
-
Eleven!
-
Whereas I could play him current jammers like Le Freak by Chic.
-
Amazing dinners. Fantastic jazz combos. We really do live it up here on HHW.

I think Josh Groban does a credible job, except that he sings one word with a British pronunciation: "I'm alive at lost (last)..."
-
Why use the British pronunciation for just one word?? :o

New notes are up.

Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.

I've read them.

I wrote them.

They wrote me.

They've seen me.

They've read me.
