God I hate that song.
There used to be a radio host here in St. Louis who always made a big deal of one of the phrases in that Brenda Lee song. He had a raunchy show, and each year would claim this line “later we’ll make a pumpkin pie” was in fact “ later we’ll make a f.u.c.k.i.n,g pie.”
Good ol’ Frank O. Pinion, he’s an old guy whose radio show was full of sex and innuendo. I was up for it.
Okay---Brenda Lee has her sfd,mo & cinti, connection. How do you like that? But yeah---that song kinda go off to a slow start, but has made her a Lotta moolah, over the years. Back in 62, she was on-tour in Germany, and the mop-topped foursome was the opening act. Yup. So---LEARN to like it. Thanks mee.
Okay--I'm not lyrics listener. What matters is the musical sound. So, I don't pay attention to the words A recording.from 1984 that I like to hear occasionally is: Wouldn't it be good", credited to Nik Kershaw. It's very dependant on the instrumentals. Yup. But you kids'd prolly hate it. Ha. Hope that helps you some.
Okay---here's real classic pop-rock recording from 1959, that was brilliant, by mistake. Yup It is called "The Big Hurt", and credited to Toni Fisher. It was ahead of its time.
Shared this with SO this evening and his comment was "Wow, a song about the OG incel..."
Goodness. I did not see this Aerosmith video back when it was first made. SO MUCH going on here. So much of the lyrics just wafted past me back in 1990. This is amazing!

And now I'm going to steer this conversation in a completely randomly new direction. The Widor Toccata is my favorite organ piece of all time. I've mentioned on this board before that my very first BF, all those many many years ago (over 30) was a church organist. He never played the Widor Toccata at the church he served when I first met him (Lamington Presbyterian in Lamington NJ) because the organ wasn't capable of doing the piece justice. But eventually he left that church and served several others. The first time I heard him play this piece was at the Princeton University Chapel, where he spent what I would guess was the happiest year of his much too short life. He's been dead for nearly a decade now but I will never forget standing beside the organ and watching him play this at Princeton.

Ok, today I'm going to drift from old music to one of my favorite youtube "personalities" for lack of a better word. Danny MacAskill. He's adorably cute. And I completely fell in love with him when he made his "Danny Daycare" video a few years ago. (look it up...) But now he's made a love video of my second favorite city in the world and I just can't stop watching it. But seriously, a dude that can ride a bike across a tennis net??? Dang...
