Isn't that bad luck?

When I was in high school I would constantly call the radio station to request SEND IN THE CLOWNS and MICHELE.

Only when you're still wearing them.

...WALK AWAY RENEE is also a favorite...but I'll be darned if I can make out any of the words. I have searched for the lyrics on-line but never had any luck.

And you're performing in Blood Brothers.

(putting them on a piano is probably as bad as putting them on a table...don't you think?)

Shoes on tables - BAD LUCK. Do not do it.

Always prefered The Four Tops to the Left Banke MBarnum. Maybe "don't bother me at all" about the lyrics. Now I'll have to listen. Better than "Goodbye To You My Trusted Friend".

As I am typing this, my shoes are on the piano. And I am wearing them. It's quite comfortable.

The other sellers who were bilked by this eBay madman and I have been talking about filing a class action lawsuit against eBay for not allowing us to be refunded our listing fees immediately. Does anyone know a good pro bono lawyer who would love to take on eBay and perhaps get scads of publicity?

Eeewww, Blood Brothers. Put the entire score on our list of terrible songs.

Evening all!

Guess what I had for dinner and I didn’t say anything to my Mother? Beets! Made the way I explained to you the other day. Yum!

Well, the Tampa Bay Lightning won the hockey championship. Whoopie! I should also mention, we had a illness at work and many people were not at their posts. I can’t help but wonder why?

Guess what?! We get Friday off WITH pay! YAY!!! Now THAT’s something to be happy about. I know it’s because someone died . It’s really not really nice of me to be glad but I’ll take the day and sleep in.

As far as songs go, anything by the Bee Gees. God, how those voices make me want to run shrieking, “Make it stop!” from the room. Also The Pirates Of the Caribbean. I was stuck on that ride, right under the pirate who had his foot dangling from the bridge. Five thousand choruses of “Yo Ho, Yo Ho. It’s a pirates life for me!” later I was ready to pull my hair out.

I imagine one of Hades worst punishments is being stuck on one of those rides and forced to listen to one of those songs. Over and over and over and over and over again. Aggghhhh!!!

When I was growing up, when ever we got a new pair of shoes, my dad would make my mother and I put them on the stove (not turned on) for a moment to take the “fire” out of them. I don’t know where he got that from but I sometimes find myself still doing that.

I have heard that putting shoes on a table are bad luck as well. I think that also goes for putting them on the bed.

I didn’t get to tell you guys about my SLC trip. Do you still want to hear about it?

Thank you for that, Derbrucer! I have always wondered how to do that!

I love The Left Banke...I have their CD of the "Best Of" and they had some fine songs. I didn't know The Four Tops also sang WALK AWAY RENEE...who knew!

I always get teary eyed at SEASON'S IN THE SUN. Why do so many dislike that song I wonder?

I can recall someone once telling me that they were stuck in the IT'S A SMALL WORLD ride for several hours and had to listen to that song over and over and over again.

That is not fair Danise.

We are not getting Friday off the Governer has finally announced. Maybe only the states with Republican Governors are getting Friday off.

It will be Ronald Reagan memorial Day on Friday, however. That is as far as Gov. Kulongoski was willing to go I guess.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #167 on:** June 08, 2004, 03:40:39 PM »

A DR Listed "Purple People Eater" earlier. Great song from my childhood - along with Witch Doctor. Of course there was also "The Purple People Eater Meets The Witch Doctor" which was a little suspect. (Joe South and The Big Bopper had the chart versions - for those who care to know). Great novelty songs from the 1950s. As DRs' Kerry and JRand know - I have no problem with such songs at all. My early post of "Death songs" is a list of ones from my own collection.

Danise · « **Reply #168 on:** June 08, 2004, 03:44:44 PM »

Sorry, MBarnum! I'll think about you when I wake and turn over! LOL!

Michael Ball's phone number? Hummm but I promised I wouldn't tell!

I refused to ride the "It's a Small World Ride". The thought of being stuck for hours in there (after my POTC experience) were more than I could handle!

MBarnum · « **Reply #169 on:** June 08, 2004, 03:45:30 PM »

The Bird by the Trashmen (or is it The Trashman) is a fun song too!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #170 on:** June 08, 2004, 03:46:39 PM »

Strange how certain songs can pluck at our emotional strings - "Seasons In The Sun: does not do it for me but I get teary when I listen to Red Sovine's "Teddy Bear". I tell myself it is pure corn but that does not stop the effect.

Curses for mentioning Kung Fu Fighting! The last time y'all were talking about that, I had it stuck in my head for three days.

Me too, dang it! Of course, I guess I shouldn't really complain, as I was the one who brought it up last time!

Y'know, there's been all these groups and soloists who have recorded "The Best Of...", as a title song no less, and I still can't remember what the melody sounds like.

It's a Jerry Herman Song.

DR MBarnum: I love Minnie Riperton AND "Loving You."

And I am nuts about "Midnight at the Oasis" (send your camel to bed).

And who here is as fanatical about "Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band" as I am?

"Chercehz la Femme" anyone?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #175 on:** June 08, 2004, 04:06:05 PM »

Watched Guffman again this week - - wonderful version of "Midnight At the Oasis".

George, are you feeling better today? And how about you Jennifer, any better now?

DerBrucer-ROTFLOL. Thanks for the warning. Of course I couldn’t resist and had to read the lyrics. So where was my warning before I read SQUIRRELS?

DearReaderLaura, Keith and I just love the things you see on your walks. This photo gets a big WOW!

In our first apartment the young girl next door would blast her stereo and we could easily hear it through the walls. Most of the time it wasn’t too annoying, until she fell in love with MOONSHADOW. I am sure I heard that song a hundred times a day.

I’m only up to page three but must break to feed Bogie. Maybe by the time I return my hiccups with be gone. It is very difficult to type when you keep hiccupping.

Oooohhh...here's another one for the Hall of Shame!

"Shannon" by Henry Gross. And a more appropriate surname I couldn't've have made up.

Shannon is gone, I heard
she's drifting out to sea,
she always loved to swim and swim...

When I was much younger, we used to sing (to the tune of "Seasons In The Sun"):

We had joy, we had fun
Skinny-dipping in the sun
But the cops, they had guns
And they shot us in the buns!

I used to have one of their albums (I don't remember which), but I sold a bunch of my records when I was in college and that was one of them. I just remember that there was one or two songs that I really liked, but I don't even remember what songs they were. The album title had "King Pedditt" in it...or something like that. Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?
