It was "Can't We Try" with Vonda Shepard (from Ally McBeal)
Can't We Try

I see your face cloud over like a little girls
And your eyes have lost their shine
You whisper something softly
I'm not meant to hear
Baby tell me what's on your mind

I don't' care what people say
About the two of us from different worlds
I love you so much that it hurts inside
Are you listening
Please listen to me girl

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside

I hear you on the telephone
With god knows who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girls that someone should be me

So many times I've tried to tell you
You just turn away
My life is changing so fast now
Leaves me lonely and afraid

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride

I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
Don't let our love fade away
No matter what people say
I need you more and more each day

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
Love you so much baby
Tears me up inside

Thanks Bob. Nice try, but it didn't work. Whenever these two are running around like maniacs, automatically I think, "speed of Lightning, roar of Thunder,..." I guess I'll just have to get a little dog and name him Underdog.

The secret compartment of my ring I fill
With an Underdog Super Energy Pill!

When Polly's in trouble, I must not delay,
So it's hip-hip and awaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Roger Ramjet he's our man
hero to our nation
for his adventurers just be sure
to stay tuned to this station

When Ramjet takes a proton pill,
The crooks begin to worry.
They can't escape their awful fate,
Or proton's mighty fury.

"Her name was Lola. She was a showgirl. With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there."

"At the Copa, Copacabana. The hottest spot north of Havana."

This song has been stuck in my head for 3 days now. I don't recall hearing it or anyone mentioning it. It won't go away, and since I don't know all the words, it's making me even crazier. If anyone can help me out with the words, I would greatly appreciate it. I know there is a link for a lyrics site somewhere on this board. I'm going huntin' now.

Lobstah! Here is a link to my very FAVORITE lyrics site on the net:

Lyrics World

And, from this site:

Copacabana (At the Copa)

-Artist: Barry Manilow as sung on "Greatest Hits" -Arista A2L 8601
-peak Billboard position # 8 in 1978
-Words and Music by Barry Manilow, Bruce Sussman, and J. Feldman


<Latin percussion and strings>

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love

(Copa Copacabana)

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love

(Copa. . Copacabana)
(Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh)
(Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana)
(Talking Havana have a banana)
(Music and passion...always the fash--shun)

<Latin percussion interlude>

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love

(Copa) don't fall in love
Copacabana
Copacabana

etc. to end

Babyruth! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I went over to the links thread and got lost in there checking out all the great links. I never did find a lyrics one. Now maybe I can get this song out of my head.

This week marks the 25th anniversary of the plane crash that in MY OPINION destroyed the band LYNYRD SKYNYRD, I do not like the NEW version nor do I consider them to BE LYNYRD SKYNYRD, But at this time the local classic rock stations are playing ALOT of them as a tribute,....Needless to say I broke I my "The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd" cd and I'm having a pretty good listen....SOOOOOO My haunting melody post takes on many meanings , anyhow I can't get their songs out of my mind.....( I also like Barry Manilow too) Go figure..........

This is compliments of Rabbit, who has threatened me with titanic rodent violence this evening:

From: The Rabbit of Seville
Starring: Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd
As Sung By: Elmer Fudd

"kill the waaabit, kill the WAAAbit, kill The WAAAAAAAAAbit"

I'm sure it will be with me at least until I go to sleep.
PS if you're wondering why I posted this, it's because I want to suck one or several of you into hearing that song with me for the rest of the night. Misery loves company

Mine tonight is "Nothing compares to you"


"Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want...
I can see whom ever I choose...

I can eat my dinner in a fancy resturant...

But nothing... I said nothing can take away these blues...

Cause nothing compares...

Nothing compares to you......

It's been so long without you here...

Like a bird without a song....

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling...

Tell me baby..where did I go wrong....

I can put my arms around every boy I see...

But they only remind me of you....

:)
