RE: I HATE MEN Lyrics from yesterday

The line in question was actually deleted in the original version. I know that it doesn't answer the question but I'm curious is she playing the role and the lyrics are being used?

bk · « **Reply #4 on:** July 22, 2013, 01:00:22 AM »

Yes the lyric is being used ans shed like to understand it. Everyone please look at my last posts from last night

I like DR George's interpretation.

bk, once again a very lovely song in today's notes. You are right; it IS harmonically very interesting.

I've been cutting the hedge this morning which, in this 90 degree heat, is exhausting.

(building perhaps on what George said about the Betty Grable lyric in "I Hate Men").

I guess since Betty Grable had been in Porter's "DuBarry Was a Lady" - the question occurs to me as to whether Betty Grable was being slightly kidded in a friendly, loving way, since she had gone from being married to Jackie Coogan for only about two years, and then married Harry James a few years before Kiss me Kate.

It may be telling that they did delete that section originally.

Good morning, all! Today is Pied Piper Day, the day that supposedly 130-160 children (depending on whose historic account) vanished from the German town of Hamelin in 1376. This has fascinated me since I first heard Robert Browning's poem somewhere in my elementary education past.

Today, I am off to Toyland to deal with some ROBERTA adjustments that Rob Berman and I decided on yesterday. It will be a day of cutting and pasting.

Good morning, all.

Had an interesting dream along usual themes, but BK's reporting of Astroburger foodstuffs (which I think first appeared last night?) ties right into the food element of the dream. It just happens that I had a Shake Shack burger on Saturday and a Five Guys burger yesterday, and even though the dream was about a hot dog jernt, this was all obviously related.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #13 on:** July 22, 2013, 04:56:20 AM »

Hmm. Might be time to watch that Jacques Demy film about the aforementioned Piper.

Good morning, all.

On the song lyrics, two theories. Take 'em for their worth on a Monday morning:

Cain and Abel have been used as a euphemism for sexual organs in the past, with the well-endowed Abel having been killed out of penis envy by the smaller Cain. So, it may have been some bit of dirt about the multiple married Grable.

Or, if as another set of euphemisms goes, Cain refers to a womb, Abel to the penis. Therefore, the line could have referenced a rumor that Betty was bisexual.

FJL · « **Reply #15 on:** July 22, 2013, 05:25:34 AM »

Wow, no wonder that lyric was cut.

the Rat Catcher's House, or the Pied Piper's House, of Hameln, Germany. The house has a plaque on it that reads, "In the year 1284 on John and Paul's Day, the 26 of June-- 130 children born in Hameln were seduced by a piper, dressed in all kinds of colors, and lost at the place of execution near the koppen". The house is located on Bungelosenstrasse ("drumless street"), because traditionally, no music has been played on it since the piper.

June 26 or July 22 are the dates given for the events. The town of Hamelin in Germany uses the June date. The confusion of dates is because the Brothers Grimm cite 26 June 1284 as the date the Pied Piper led the children out of the town, while the poem by Robert Browning gives it as 22 July 1376.

We had real rain again yesterday-- buckets full of it.

Enough German legend! I'm off to Toyland.

It's raining. Slowly.

Busy weekend.

Why is someone skateboarding at 5:46am.

And off to work.

DR Vixmom that is terrible about the Vixmobile. I wish people like that could be punished. I'm sorry but if you backing into someone's car and they are honking and you still back up into them ... well you don't deserve to have a license. I'd love to hear their rationale for why they didn't stop when they heard the honking.

TOD:

I'm not sure if the first amusement park I went to was Disneyland in Anaheim or Playland (now, I believe, gone) in Seattle. I did both when I was in high school, but I don't really recall which was first.

Actually, if you've read either my memoir or my screenplay, THE SUMMER FOLK, you'll recall that when I was about 10-11, we had our own mini-amusement park in Soap Lake, WA. One summer, my father (on a whim) purchased a merry-go-round and kiddie ride from this carnival that was stranded, and we operated it all summer. Rides were nine cents apiece.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #27 on:** July 22, 2013, 07:56:18 AM »

It's a great TOD, but I'm finding that coming up with my earliest amusement park experiences is surprisingly challenging. I'll be back later with something.

I have been given the same explanation that DR JOHN G wrote about the names being slang for different sized equipment:

Cain = Jackie Coogan
Abel = Harry James
