mhutch1366 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hey, y'all, take it as it was intended.... Instead of sunshine, It could be PIGEONS. Think about THAT!! Yeah, its sappy but so what? Would you rather read "Ode to Beer Trucks Running Amok Downhill"? XOXOX MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debi Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Thanks for the sunshine and all Snowflake, but you know I'm filling in for Ry. I have to fine you $10 for posting the lyrics of a John Denver song.... It could be worse, Barry Manilow is $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmydog2 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Gosh Debi. You are higher than Ry. Sure you ain't making a profit . By the way my favorite John Denver tune is " Thank God I'm A Country Boy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 poor John took Rocky mountain high literally, got watch those homebuilt aircrafts! SAPPY, SAPPY I SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerbil runner Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 "Sunshine" was, I think, used in a story about a young mother dying of bone cancer. Sappy, maybe, but good to hear. Edited to add: Barry Manilow = Barely Man Enough. BLECH! At least Denver didn't take himself too seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Dear, dear DavidA...here's a song, JUST for you - another whacked out favorite of mine, this from Little Jimmy Dickens and OH-SO-FITTING a reply.... Music, Maestro! May the Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose Artist: Little Jimmy Dickens (peak Billboard position # 1 in 1965) Words and Music by Neal Merritt One fine day as I was a-walkin' down the street Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet Took a penny from my pocket In his tin cup I did drop it I heard him say as I made my retreat CHORUS "May the bird of paradise fly up your nose" "May an elephant caress you with his toes" "May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose" "May the bird of paradise fly up your nose" The laundry man is really on his toes Found a hundred-dollar bill among my clothes When he called me I came a-runnin' Gave him back his dime for phonin' I heard him sayin' as I turned to go CHORUS I was way behind one day to catch the train Taxi driver said "We'll make it just the same" The speed cop made it with us And as he wrote out the ticket I stood by politely a-waitin' for my change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Oh, DavidA! You big baby! Imagine, feeling threatened by a DEAD, genius of a man... Do a little research on the guy and his song writing and THEN get back to me. I, for one, see poetry in the song....I can visualize the sunshine and actually feel the warmth, but I don't live as far under the rock as you do, being a man and all... Geesh!

Ry Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Whoa, Beck, you gotta get out of your parents house. Sounds like you're a little on edge... Ok, don't tell but my favorite John Denver song is Annie's Song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 I balk at the Lawrence Welk show...absolute refusal... As for Annie's Song, it's my favorite. Played it in a pageant for my "talent"...haunting tune on a flute...scared the whole darned audience that I might win! LOL - not even close... Guess I've never been the "sweet little thang", even when I was cute... Do you have any of Da Yoopers tunes?? Are THOSE legal at the party?? Polka here on Sunday mornings...one-two-three, hop-two-three, spin-two-three...ROFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I remember those sunday mornings, when I was in college, and that;s ALL there was on the radio... polka music..... ARGH.... rofl...... I'm with you Becky..... Elton John did one number called Crazy Blue Eyes that was kinda sappy and goofy, but I liked it anyway... "Your song" was sappy too. DavidA, NOT A WORD!........ lol XOXOX MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I saw this post the night my dad died. In fact the time says 1:54 p.m. - my dad died at 1:47 p.m. I read what Becky wrote that night, and so much appreciated the words. I was trying to find something to make me feel happy and the courage to post about my dad's death, but I just couldn't do it that night. I only read a few posts that night, but I started to cry again when I read this one. Anyway, I didn't understand the posts that followed and was too distraught that night to question it. I still don't understand some of the subsequent posts. Since Becky posted this in the Spirituality forum, I'm sure she meant it to give us ALL a little bit of sunshine, something I was certainly needing that night. I know others on here are needing some sunshine, too. She called it "Sharing Some Sunshine." Becky, thank you for sharing some sunshine with me that day. I know you didn't know I needed it that night . . . but then again, somehow maybe you did. Thank you, Becky. Love, Peggy P.S. According to the dictionary, "sappy" means overly sentimental, so I guess this post is a sappy post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Oh no, I started it, I get to pick the Manilow tune...heheheh I normally catch this one in an elevator or on hold and can't get the darn chorus out of my head... - and for the record, DavidA, I don't recall rattling YOUR cage or kicking over your rock. I'll have to be more cautious, I guess... Copa Cabana Barry Manilow 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 the crowded floor, they worked from 8 'til 4 They were young and they had each other Who could ask for more Chorus: At the Copa, Copa Cabana The hottest spot North of Havana Here at the Copa, Copa Cabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa They fell in love Copa, Copa Cabana His name was Rico, he wore a diamond He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing 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 {Chorus} She lost her love Copa, Copa Cabana Copa, Copa Cabana Copa Cabana Copa, Copa Cabana Life in Havana Have a banana Music and passion, always in fashion Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl And 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 lost her mind {Chorus} Don't fall in love Don't fall in love Copa Cabana Copa Cabana Copa, Copa Cabana Copa Cabana (repeat 'til end) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
