There's Hurricanes in Flor-i-da

[graciegirl]

and Texas needs rain. The whole world is festering with unhappy souls.
The French........

Can you add to this song?; another line or two if you remember it, maybe the group that recorded it........and then start one of your own.

Never ending name that song??

[beady]

Can't find that song Gracie....googled it to death :024:

Love the idea of the never ending song :clap2::clap2:

I think I know, I think I know.....Merry Minuet
Am I right Gracie?

Merry Minuet

They’re rioting in Africa (whistling)
They’re starving in Spain (whistling)
There’s hurricanes in Flo-ri-da (whistling)
And Texas needs rain.
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch
AND I DON’T LIKE ANYBODY VERY MUCH!!
But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For man’s been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud
And we know for certain that some lovely day Someone will set the
spark off
AND WE WILL ALL BE BLOWN AWAY!!
They’re rioting in Africa (whistling)
There’s strife in Iran
What nature doesn’t do to us
Will be done by our fellow "man"

<grin>

Cheers, all!

Now here is another....

"If fortune should forsake you
Don't ever let it make you sigh"

[graciegirl]

The sunny side of the street?

[beady]

Susan you are a genius..how did you find it...I know you just new the whole song.....:cus::cus:

[Just Susan]

No Gracie keep trying.
I'm no genius Beads just must have a better search engine.

[Just Susan]

Anyone else out there want to take a guess?

[Coconuts]

You gotta s-m-i-l-e to be h-a-p-p-y
Ah Shirley Temple

[Just Susan]

Bingo!!! You win the prize Coconuts. ...and the prize is...... you get to stump the audience. Please choose the next song...

[Coconuts]

Considering the recent events......
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

Okay, try this one Coco

[Just Susan]

"Cheek to Cheek", Ella Fitzgerald

[marianne237]

Used to sing this song in a coffee house in Chicago when my hair was long and my waist thinner. Learned the words from a Kingston Trio album if I remember right.

[Coconuts]

You are correct Susan, although I prefer this bit of Mr. Irving Berlin as sung by Doris Day!
Okay, Who's next?

[Just Susan]

Maybe Marianne will choose one for us.

Interesting that we all found different versions of the same song. I wonder how many versions there are for each one?

My husband got hooked on Me and Bobby McGee. He found over 350 different singers of that song and recorded them all. You don't even want to know how many times I have had to listen to the tiny nuances that separated one from another.:1rotfl::1rotfl:
