Maris | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 08:59 pm     Songs are a big issue this year with the HGs but tonight Gerry was humming a song that I just love s I thought I would start a favorite HG song folder. Tonights song was: WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you. I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world. |
Draheid | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:01 pm     LOL, Maris, now whenever I hear that song, I think of the line: "Goooooooooood morning, Vietnammmmmmmm!!!" Great movie, IMHO!  |
Maris | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:02 pm     yes it was a great movie. I loved that movie too and it is also one of my all time favorite songs. |
Draheid | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:07 pm     I also love the song "Abraham, Martin & John" by John Wilks
Quote:Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed a lot of people but it seems the good die young I just looked around and he's gone. Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed a lot of people but it seems the good die young I just looked around and he's gone. Has anybody here seen my old friend John? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed a lot of people but it seems the good die young I just looked around and he's gone. Didn't you love the things they stood for? Didn't they try to find some good in you and me? And we'll be free Someday soon It's gonna be one day Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby? Can you tell me where he's gone? I thought I saw him walking up o'er the hill With Abraham, Martin and John

Kaili | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:15 pm     Funny you started this- I was thinking of starting a similar one (sort of) about the HGs choices of CDs for when they get HOH and what CDs we would choose in a similar situation. On second thought I guess it's not that similar....oh well. |
Maris | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:16 pm     what CD would I pick............I think I would pick Andrea Bocelli or Sara Brightman. |
Dagny | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:18 pm     Maris... How rude was Lisa telling Gerry he couldn't sing that, because that's her dad's song?? Give em a break!!! |
Screeminmeemie | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:22 pm     Favorite song of all time for me is "Stardust" by Nat King Cole |
Maris | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:25 pm     and it is my fault Lisa said that?????? What the hell do you want me to say. I just posted it was a favorite song that Gerry sang. Why am I suddenly the person to beat up over anything someone says to Gerry. Geesh, someone delete this thread I started, I thought it was innocuous and wouldnt end up in a bash session. |
Draheid | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:28 pm     Oh, sheesh, there I go puttin' myself in that house again ... guess I shoulda read your message a little more closely Maris. My apology for getting confused!  |
Dagny | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:32 pm     Maris...wasn't trying to be rude to you...just thought it was rude of Lisa to say Gerry can't sing that song.. (that was what was rude) JMO |
Phatcat | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:33 pm     Maris...love the song. Have you heard Eva Cassiday sing it. I saw a special on ABC a few nights ago about this artist, and I have NEVER heard such a talent. The sad thing is that she died at a very young age and the song was one of the last one's she performed before her death. OMG...you have to hear her sing this song. (What A Wonderful World) I can cry just thinking about it. One of my favorites is "The Song Remembers When" by Trisha Yearwood. Another tearjerker. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:33 pm     Maris - if it helps at all, I didn't read Dagny's post to say "you should give him a break" - I read her to say, basically "they should give him a break," even though she used 'em instead of 'im. I thought she'd come back and clear that up, but didn't want you to hang out there unnecessarily thinking you'd gotten jumped. Edited to add: Nevermind. Dagny hit the button before I did. |
Jmm | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:34 pm     I agree Goddess, that's exactly how I saw it. |
Maris | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:35 pm     That is fine Dagny I just dont understand why MY name ended up in your post. |
Maris | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:44 pm     ok I guess I am overly sensitive. Sorry Dagny, I just took your post personally, I guess it is time to step away. |
Dagny | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:47 pm     Maris...Because you started the post...and I was repsonding to your post.. I guess I should have added I love the song also...but was mad that Lisa wouldn't let Gerry sing it.. Forgive me if I am wrong...but I thought it was "cyber" polite to address the Post-ee |
Dagny | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:49 pm     Maris...no hard feelings.. I am really bad at making my self "clear" LOL |
Phatcat | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:50 pm     Darn, I did the same thing...I put down my favorite song, instead of HG favo...sorry |
Snee | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:23 pm     two things about 'what a wonderful world': they played louis armstrong's version at the funeral of my stepdad's 93 year old uncle. not a dry eye, i tell you. you MUST hear the 'bruddah iz' version. he is a hawaiian musician who combines it with 'over the rainbow'. he accompanies himself with the ukelele. you might have heard it during the 'mark green's funeral' episode of ER this season. |
Jewell | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 11:56 pm     Maris - thank you for posting those lyrics. I love that song so much!! And just reading it after a trying day just warmed my heart. Now I must dig out my tape so I can have a listen I'll be singing it all evening (which is better than singing "Springtime for Hitler" ... has been running through my head ever since I watched "The Producers" the other night lol! And on the other topic - it truly was rude of Lisa to say that about Gerry. Anyone can appreciate a good song, it doesn't 'belong' to someone. oy! |
Mystery | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:37 am     Oh no, Jewell, now you've got me going on it. "Winter for Poland and France..." |
Guiltyviewer | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 05:16 am     Snee, Bruddah Iz was a phenomenal talent--loved seeing him perform live. Gentle giant with a huge heart...his songs live on forever thankfully. Great suggestion you made and I also encourage folks to check him out---seems no matter what musical tastes ppl have, they all like Iz. Aloha! |
