I like to sing songs that were made famous by men... which means they don't always have appropriate pronouns.
I think this is a pretty song. I like Stephen Bishop, though his career seems to have been adversely affected by MTV.
This song is a classic... sung by a guy with really long hair who sounds like a female, but it's not a girly song at all.

This song was written for a man and sung masterfully by Alison Krauss, who also doesn't mind gender benders.
I also tried "Let's Just Kiss And Say Goodbye" today... It worked surprisingly well, though I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those jumpsuits.
knotty, you are no fun at all. I can't for the life of me understand why you wouldn't be delighted to jump into one of those jumpsuits. Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteWere jumpsuits EVER OK for anything other than fun-loving senior citizens in Viagra or arthritis medication or uriniary incontinence product commercials? My mom's best friedn went to BYU-Hawaii back in the day. There was one guy who was on the tennis team with her. His name was Jordan 9back in the day before there were any girls named Jordan; now it's almost 50/50), and he wore jumpsuits everywhere except to tennis practice and Sacrament Meeting, where they were not allowed. His nickname behind his back was "Jumpsuit Jordan." My mom's friend wonders if he's found his way out of the closet yet.
Anything Alison Krauss does is pure auditory gold to me. She culd probably sing something originally done by Grace Jones and I'd probably like it.
I'd forgotten how much ilike the song
"On and On." It was evenon my playlist for when it was my dad's turn to sing to us before we went to sleep. I don't know if my parents appreciated my eclectic music tastes as much as they should have. With matthew, it was for verses of twinkle, twinkle Little atar every single night from the time he was old enugh to request it coherently until he discovered that Titanic Theme ("My Heart will go On,") I think it was called,) which was every night until we were to old to have Mommy and Daddy singing to us every night, though my dad still sings to me or at least plays his guitar during rough nights. I, at least, tried to mix things up. My primary objective was oftento find the longest possible songs (My dad drew theline at one called "Thick as a Brick" by Jethro Tull) to delay the inevitable of having to go to sleep, but I didn't ask for the same songs over and over, and I sometimes picked songs that weren't all that long just because iliked them.
Jumpsuits were popular in the 70s and 80s. I remember the first time I ever heard the expression "camel toe". I was looking at a book of sheet music by Journey and one of the band members was wearing a jumpsuit that didn't fit properly. I noticed it was pulling at his crotch and my cousin wrinkled up his nose and said "Eew, camel toe".
DeleteIf you ever see videos of The Brady Bunch Hour, you will see all the kids were wearing cheap polyester jumpsuits that gave them moose knuckles and camel toes. Yuck.
I am a big Alison Krauss fan. I love most of her music. It took me a long time to discover her, though. She is one of those artists I always heard a lot about but never got around to listening to until one day I bought a couple of her CDs on a whim. It was love at first listen.
Bill used to sing "Thick As A Brick" around his ex wife. It seemed appropriate.
Typos proliferate to an evn greater degree than they normally do because i have ointment in my eyes. Please use your best psychic and detective skills to decipher just what it is I'm trying to say. I don't have autocorrect on my responses even if i'm signed in. i've heard some people have it, but then, I have the world's suckiest laptop. I have a practically state-of-the-art desktop (my rich uncle/Godfather bought it; my parents certainly weren't going to spring for any piece of electronic equipment for me that cost practically as much as the house itself. tI think it has its own insurance policy.) I love it, and for school work it's worth its weight in $1,000 bills, but at night I'm too lazy to sit at my desk even in my comfortable desk chair, plus I get cold if i'm out of bed at night, and it's tough to sufficiently wrap in blankets in a desk chair when one is typing. I refuse to wear one of those Snuggies things 9if they even come in my size) because they're abut as cool as the senior citiens wearing jumpsuits in the Depends commercials.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry. I dug your rap.
