Quick, Panni, before someone else spills the beans!

Name the movie from which this lyric comes:

(Solo):

"Ooh, what I'll do, to that mad Hungarian!"

(Orchestral punctuation: ta-DUM-dah-DUM)

(Chorus)

"Ooh, what she'll do, to that wild barbarian!"

Come on along...
Come on along...
It's Alexander's Ragtime Band...

Come on along...
Come on along...
It's greatest in the land...

Thanks, guys...just when I got it out of my head...

Jason, don’t be embarrassed. You saved me from asking.

Jennifer, if it hadn’t been for Keith I would have flown out of the roller coaster at Pacific Ocean Park. I prefer the roller coasters with the shoulder bars that hold your entire body in. And yes, I do feel small in many of them. On the other hand I was able to fit, barely, into the children’s rides when my boys were babies. I must prefer the ride a bit big than have my knees in my chest.

Oh, lord! The Cyclone! I hadn't thought of it in ages. I must have been 8 or 9 when my uncle let my brother take me on it at Coney Island. I was scared to death and screamed my lungs out, but came off of it thrilled I had done it and survived.

Thank you Michael. I figured I would know her once a movie was named.

The COuntry Bear Jamboree was still at Disney World in Orlando, at least it was 2 years ago when I was there.

DR RLP, my response was to Jason's comment about "Alexander's Ragtime Band," and the Irving Berlin ditty I'm talking about is that. I would think you'd know me well enough to know that I would know which song was repeated endlessly in that famous musical. Reread what I actually wrote. I said the song was IN the movie THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS, not that it was the title song itself.

And it's Johnnie Ray if we care to pick nits.

If that's your story, then you stick to it.

I read: "If the mere mention of the title of that Irving Berlin ditty does it to you, stay MILES away from THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS which does the song in an unending series of variations using almost every conceivable accent except Swahili"

To me, this says, "Well, if THAT Berlin song drives you nuts, then stay away from 'TNBLSB" which does the song...." "The" being totally connected to the song TNBLSB, not ARB...at least, not the way I read it.

The structure led me to believe you were talking about "There's No Business Like Show Business."

I'll swap you clarity points for misspelling Ray's last name!

Last night, George asked:
Quote
Jay, do you know who wrote the score? Here in Olympia, we have the (appropriately named) Olympia Chamber Orchestra and a former conductor was Tim Brock. He composed new scores to several silent movies, including "Sunrise." There was a showing of the film with the orchestra, conducted by Tim Brock, playing his score live with the movie. It was wonderful. I think that there was DVD released with his score.

The original 1927 score, compiled by Hugo Riesenfeld and reconstructed and adapted by Robert Israel, was played. Apparently no sheet music exists for the score to Sunrise, so Mr. Israel transcribed the music from the recording of the score that was made by Fox Studios in 1927.

This score was "compiled" in that Mr. Riesenfeld adapted previously written music. For example, the film opens to Liszt's "Les Preludes." A particularly tender moment in the film is accompanied by Wagner's "Siegfried Idyll."

Thanks for the info!!

...However, let it not be said that this is not an educational site. I Googled the phrase "Mad Hungarian" just in case something popped up -- and what I found instead of a lyric reference was the recipe for a drink called (natch)
THE MAD HUNGARIAN:
Ingredients:
* 2 shots Rum (Captain Morgan's)
* Fill with Root beer (Mug or A & W)
Mixing instructions:
An easy mix of rum and root beer, on the rocks, or without. The rum is a definite 2 shot minimum, as that it blends seamlessly with the root beer. The Captains can be substituted with Malibu rum for a more island flare.

I'd like to hear from the first person who tries it!

I'm ready to go home. It's only 5:32, but I am definitely ready to get out of here. I have to be back at 9 in the morning.

If it were just about anything other than rum I'd be happy to oblige, Panni, but just so happens to be my least favorite drink.

Believe what you want. I know what I intended and said so. My original post that you quoted from was written after I read Jason's comment about "Alexander's Ragtime Band." My post ended up on the next page instead of directly under Jason's post where its intention was obvious.

But you believe what you want.

Panni, I tried your Mad Hungarian. But since I don't like root beer, I substituted a Cherry Coke. And since I don't drink alcohol, I substituted some more Cherry Coke. It's very good.

Hmmm... I may have to try this. Sounds like something perfect for a summer evening. Oohh! And I bet it freezes well for frozen shots (in ice cube trays or Dixie cups).

This actually sounds like a sister drink to a Dark & Stormy which is rum and Ginger Beer (or a really good, "spicy" ginger ale - it needs the bite!). Unfortunately, the restaurant just two blocks from me that used to stock ginger beer for this drink closed a few months ago. Ah, well...

Good afternoon!

Well, the cleaning has begun! Finally!

Now, we'll just have to see when it will actually end...

Since I started cleaning my bedroom, I've actually done some more cleaning in the kitchen... I've done two loads of laundry... I cleaned out the garbage can in the kitchen... I vacuumed the apartment... I washed some dishes... I sorted and purged some toileteries, over-the-counter drugs and various hotel soaps, lotions and shampoos... As for the bedroom... I'm hoping to get some more of it done after I'm done posting here. I know I won't get it completely clean and organized, but I hope to at least get all the stuff I brought back from DC put away.

Oh, and I had lunch too - the leftover Chinese from last night. And I even had some "dessert" - some more Edy's Espresso Chip Ice Cream.

Very sad to hear about Ray Charles' passing. I caught the announcement on NPR... I had to really make sure I heard what I heard. It caught me off guard.

As for the dress code for Reagan's viewing... I was commenting about this to some friends last night. Even the footage from California earlier this week was driving me up the wall. Especially the parents who were going on and on about making sure their kids knew who this "great man" was, but then there is the whole family in non-matching red, white and blue sneakers, socks, shorts and t-shirts(!!) - some even had on tank tops and "wife beaters". ?!?!?!?

And, gentlemen(?), PLEASE take off your baseball caps!!

CRIPES!!!

(I don't know if that's a real word, but I think it fits right now.)

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #141 on:** June 10, 2004, 02:51:21 PM »

Jason, I grew up in an upper middle class suburb called Fort Thomas or about 15,000 (growing to about 25,000 before I left)...about five-ten from downtown Cincy. In fact, my parents' home has a great view of the river and the Cincy downtown skyline. When I lived there, there were no black people living in Fort Thomas. I'm not sure whether there are any living there to this day.

Coney Island in Cincy used to be the place to go for amusement parks in my youth...it was, in fact, the only place to go. I think it still exists in some abbreviated format...though Kings Island pretty much killed it. I believe the big, big pool is still around -- Moonlight Pool. And they may have concerts and stuff there too. Perhaps, elmore knows more about its fate. In 88' we held part of our class reunion there...the Sunday picnic, but I don't remember a lot of rides and stuff left...just the pool and a lot of fairground-like booths and arcade...

I left to go to school in Lexington in '68 and, after '73 when I went to Texas to act, I was pretty much gone for good. I still get back every couple of years to visit...my mother and a brother still live in the area.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #142 on:** June 10, 2004, 02:53:52 PM »

Sad news that we have lost Ray Charles. 73 is not old these days. So much he has given to the world. His "Modern Sounds In C & W" is always listed in my top 14 albums of all time.

My favorite bio-pic: Ed Wood.

It also functions as a (nortoriously inaccuarate) bio-pic of that Famous Hungarian, Bela Lugosi.

But, inaccuracies aside, I still love the movie.

Charles Pogue mentioned PRICK UP YOUR EARS earlier in one of his posts, and I noticed that it's coming out on DVD next Tuesday. Definitely a fascinating biography of a interesting and unusual person. But it IS pretty graphic about all aspects of his life and death.

As to amusement parks...

...I have a nervousness about heights. It's not a phobia, really, because I love looking out windows of skyscrapers and down at the people below. Just so long as I have SOME way of having my feet on the ground.

That said, perhaps my nervousness gives me an added "kick" to the rides. Or maybe it's a confrontation of my low-level fear of heights...but I adore rollercoasters....!
