How's about: Giddy Gail, a grey goose, got goosed by Gavin on their way to a gala at Greenway Gables. "Git 'er DONE!" Gavin grinned, as they "ground" their way to the gig. :-D

Hi, Uncle Ron... That tongue twister was just a tad naughty, wasn't it?! :-/ I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to write it; so few chances in life to "play" w/words! :-P
"That's two Mallards you got pictured...A female Mallard doesn't have a green head..."
Ohhhh...so...what you're saying, here, Uncle Ron, is that this a gay set of Mallards?! Well...I'll refrain from revamping my recent rhyme regarding retro relationships in remembrance, then! :-/
"ruptured," Ray?! OUCH! Dang! Not the version that my "friend," 'Google' told me about. That version says:
"I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old Dad"
and...
"A real old fashioned girl with heart so true, the kind who loves nobody else but you."
In fact, here is the version I found. Sound like the one running through your head?
And...here are the lyrics:
I want a girl, just like the girl, that married dear old dad; She was a pearl and the only girl that daddy ever had; A sweet old-fashioned girl with eyes so blue; One who loved nobody else but you; I want a girl, just like the girl, that married dear old dad.
(looks like you're due for some sunshine...on Saturday! Hang in there! :-)
You're too young for music from the Roaring 20s, aren't you? So am I, but just barely. I was born in 1932, but I have always loved those jazzy old tunes from the 1920s, like 'Button Up Your Overcoat' by Helen Kane, the Poo Poo Pee Doo Girl, or Ruth Etting's 'Love me or leave Me' - the original version, not the one done by Doris Day in the movie with that same title. And the original Tiny Tim singing 'Tiptoe Through the Tulips' was a guy named Nick Lucas on an old 78 cut on May 8th, 1929. How do I know - I've got a set of 2 CDs of originals from back then.... and I listen to it periodically too.
One novelty tune on there is called 'Goodbye broadway, Hello Montreal' by Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians, all about leaving New York (during prohibition) and enjoying the summer in Montreal with its handy booze. They obviously enjoyed it.
And Gershwin - let's not forget old George, hamming it up on the piano. He also wrote some good stuff of course. And some of that was meant to be played in a different tempo than today's hero-worshipers do it, as George demonstrates as he plays it.
And thanks for the help with those words to that old song....I was trying to be funny, of course, but it didn't quite make it, it seems. Enjoy your day.
"You're too young for music from the Roaring 20s, aren't you?"
I'm same age as Eo but...not too old to look stuff up on uboob! :-D And...I used to sing war tunes w/a neighbor, when I was a kid. :-D (I'll have to find some of those old tunes, someday. Got one playing in my head, right now! :-)

Yes...nice song. I've attached, the 2 songs you mentioned, above. :-) Wasn't sure if you had them.
"And the original Tiny Tim singing 'Tiptoe Through the Tulips' was a guy named Nick Lucas on an old 78 cut on May 8th, 1929."
Yes...I remember Tiny Tim...rather well, actually. I lived w/a family who used to call me Tiny Tim and Timothy. They were just being silly. :-)

Did it sound anything like this, Ray? I couldn't find the Montreal bit; was wondering if it came from 'Goodbye Broadway, Hello France.'
(cute little calliope, isn't it? :-)
"And Gershwin - let's not forget old George, hamming it up on the piano. He also wrote some good stuff of course. And some of that was meant to be played in a different tempo than today's hero-worshipers do it, as George demonstrates as he plays it."
Interesting...I didn't realize that he had written 'Summertime.' I like his jazzy self. I wonder if you might enjoy this version of 'Summertime,' Ray? (I figured, if nothing else, you'd have "something" to look at! ;-)
"And thanks for the help with those words to that old song....I was trying to be funny, of course, but it didn't quite make it, it seems."
Oh but...I don't think you realize: I was just giving YOU a "bad" time! Your "disdain" for mawwiage has been "well documented" on Eo's blog! I "got" it, alwightas ; I was just pulling yer leg! ;-) (I'm the biggest "hamster" you'll ever find! :-D
Gosh darn it that's cute but...they're not even geese! :-( That woulda "brought the message home" a little more "colorfully," methinks! :-D
ReplyDeleteDear TC, You Sweet Thing, You....
ReplyDeleteThey're ducks as in " F*** a Duck!"
Say that five times as fast as you can.
.....Sounds a bit like the Lone Ranger and his faithful, horse Silver coming over the hill, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day, Luv....

Hey, Ray...forgot to include this vid, last comment. Thought you might enjoy seeing the actual singer. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy!

No, Darling, but it did sound like this....

This isn't the same group - it was Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians who did the version I have on CD, but this will give you the idea of it.
