Less than two hundred postings to go until our new major plateau of 200,000 posts. It will probably happen tomorrow, so if it does we have to decide whether our partay is tomorrow right when it happens, or whether we make it an "official" partay on Friday. Thoughts?

FRiday is good for me....

I love lucy and she loves me.
We're as happy as two can be.
Sometimes we quarrel but then
Oh how we love making up again.

Lucy loves me like no one can.
She's my woman and I'm her man.
And life is heaven, you see.

Cos I love Lucy.
Yes, I love Lucy.
And Lucy loves me.........

I love the episode when Ricky sang that to her!

108 flubs of lyrics by Reba McIntire in South Pacific, for example.

This reminds me of the parody lyrics "Another Hundred Lyrics (Just Flew Out Of My Brain)," by Lauren Mayer (sung to the melody of "Another Hundred People" from Company) that was first performed in "In Praise of Sondheim" in San Francisco, April 29, 1990:

Another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain
As I stand here on stage
With another hundred lyrics that I'll never recall
And on every damn page
There's another hundred lyrics that'll drive me insane
Right in front of you all, cause the words are a pain
Not to mention the sprawl of the melody.

But we're all singing Sondheim;
Some songs are sweet; some are strange.
We're all singing Sondheim;
There's not one tune in my range
And every song is too damn long.

So we try to follow the internal rhymes
And infernal counts
With the tricky meter and the picky words
In absurd amounts.
And we lose our places where the phrases change
With a rhythmic flounce.
Now I think I've got it and this part's a breeze
But you never know.
Will the tempo switch or will we change the key
'Cause something has to go.

Did you find my measure, 'cause I looked in vain
And another modulation to increase the strain.
Look, I'll learn it by tomorrow
If I do not go insane!
And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain!

But we're all singing Sondheim;
Some words are weird; some are quick.
We're all singing Sondheim;
And when the rhymes get this thick
It's hard for me to parody.

But I'll try to follow the internal rhymes
And infernal counts
With the tricky meter and the picky words
In absurd amounts.
At a speed like this you'll miss the syllables
That I can't pronounce.
Now I think I had it 'cause this part's a breeze
But you never know,
'Cause he switched the tempo and he changed the key,
Well, something had to go.

Did you find my measure, 'cause I looked in vain
And another modulation to increase the pain.
I could learn it by tomorrow, but I'll prob'ly be insane!

And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain.
And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain.
And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain.
And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain.
And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain.

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

JRand - Does the last sentence of this excerpt from Ken Mandelbaum's column answer your PAJAMA GAME question?

From Broadway.com:

"In the last few weeks, New York has seen new incarnations of three celebrated '50s musicals. The big deal was, of course, Roundabout's The Pajama Game, and I'm glad to note that it's a success, simply because one never likes to see a first-rate golden-age musical comedy return as a failure.

But unlike many observers who have deemed this production sensational, I found the new Pajama Game satisfactory but unremarkable. True, it makes a better case for the show than did the last two local incarnations, the New York City Opera and Encores! versions. And that's even with Peter Ackerman's book revisions, which substantially alter the characters of Hasler, Prez, and Mae and eliminate such items as Hines' opening monologue and the "Jealousy" ballet."

Our HyVee grocery store has a bakery that makes German Chocolate Brownies...don't have to eat as much to get the flavor. Maybe I'll stop and take them to work

Well the new moon in Taurus is going to bring a lot of good things to everyone career wise. So if you're thinking about asking for a promotion or just expecting a raise or a better office or whatever.....tomorrow the 27th will probably be the day.

FJL · « **Reply #353 on:** April 26, 2006, 08:23:16 PM »

Try to sing "I love walnuts in the frosting" to the tune of "I love Paris in the springtime." It works!

By the 29th when the Sun and Mars sextile and Mercury and Neptune do the same - don't waste your time with SMALL dreams! Go for it a get things done!

Venus squaring Pluto on the 30th may cause some of us to examine our relationships....but will probably also be a time of easing tension and a fine flow of energy.

Well done, Medium Raya.
