WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good day to all on WA2K radio.

Well, folks. Here's an old country song and don't ask, because I don't know from whence it came. Inspired, however, from the Where Am I forum.

Hank Locklin - Filipino Baby : .


HANK LOCKLIN

- Hank Locklin Lyrics - Filipino Baby Lyrics

When the warship left Manila sailing proudly o'er the sea

Many sailors hearts were filled with sad regret

Looking backward to this Island where they spent such happy hours

Making love to every pretty gal they've met

Well up stopped a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow

Saying take a look my gal's photograph

Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her face

And he said I love my Filipino baby

She's my Filipino baby she's my treasure and my pet

Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jet

Her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know

And I love my little Filipino baby

[ guitar ]

In a little rustic cottage in the Port of Fillippines

Dwells a pretty little maiden all alone

And she's thinking of her true love though he's far off cross the sea

And her heart beats true for him and him alone

Then one day he whispered darling I've come back from Caroline

I've come back to claim the only girl I love

And that night there was a wedding while the ships crew gathered round

And he wed his little Filipino baby

She's my Filipino baby...

Hmmm. Wonder why the spelling is different, listeners?

Fraulien - Bobby Helms

Far across deep blue waters, lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old river Rhine
Where I loved her and left her, but I can't forget her
I miss my pretty Fraulein.

FrauIein, Fraulein, look up toward the Heaven
Each night when the stars start to shine
By the same stars above you, I swear that I love you
You are my pretty fraulein.

When my memories wander, away over yonder
To the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory, a face comes before me
The face of my pretty fraulein.

Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river
Pretend that your hand's holdin' mine
By the same stars above you, I swear that I love you
You are my pretty fraulein

Now for a song way left of normal;

Harvey, Harvey, Harvey the Wonder Hampster
He doesn't bite and he doesn't squeal
He just runs around on his hampster wheel
Harvey, Harvey, Harvey the Wonder Hampster
Hey Harvey!

Sorry listeners, I couldn't resist that one . . .

Hey, Texas. Well, buddy, I love that song. Now we have Asia and Germany. <smile>

Sailor Man - Belafonte


Sailor man, stay away from me daughter
I'm telling you sailor man, stay away from me daughter
You come and go as free as wind blows over the water
I ought to know, I once was a sailor man

Sailor man stay away from me daughter
She always keeps in mind everything her mother taught her
And you will never want to leave if once you caught her
I ought to know, I ought to know
It happened to me when I was a sailor man
I ought to know it happened to me when I was a sailor man
Sailor man stay away from me daughter

tin sword. Welcome to WA2K radio. Love that little song. Stick around.

edgar, Harry has done a bunch, right?

Harry's had the time. He first began recording in the mid 1950s.

satt and I were surprised to find out that he did the "I am so sorry", song. Now, edgar, I can't remember the Japanese expression for it. My mind is not a retention pond today.

Hmmm. We must do one for the tin sword person. You are a guy, right King Arthur?

Lionel Barrymore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Lionel Barrymore (born Lionel Blythe) (April 28, 1878 - November 15, 1954) was an American actor of stage, radio and film.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he was the elder brother of Ethel and John Barrymore (John Barrymore was the grandfather of Drew Barrymore).

Barrymore made a name for himself on stage before going to Hollywood in 1924. He won an Oscar in 1931 for best actor in A Free Soul, after having been nominated in 1930 for best director for Madame X.

He played the irascible Doctor Gillespie in a series of Doctor Kildare and Doctor Gillespie movies in the 1930s and 1940s, and the title role in the 1940s radio series Mayor of the Town. Years later, after breaking his hip twice, he was confined to a wheelchair, but still acted. He is perhaps currently best known as Mr. Potter, the miserly banker and slumlord, in It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

Barrymore died from a heart attack on November 15, 1954, in Van Nuys, California), aged 76.

Lionel Barrymore is entombed in the Calvary Cemetery in East Los Angeles, California.

He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1724 Vine Street.

He is the grand-uncle of actress Drew Barrymore.

Carolyn Jones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Carolyn Jones (April 28, 1930 - August 3, 1983) was an American actress.

Born Carolyn Sue Jones in Amarillo, Texas, Jones joined the Pasadena Playhouse in 1947. She secured a contract with Paramount Studios and made her first film in 1952.

In 1953, she married aspiring filmmaker Aaron Spelling (and converted to Judaism upon marriage), and her film career began to gain momentum. A role in House of Wax (1953) brought her good reviews, and she was cast in From Here to Eternity (also 1953), but illness forced her withdrawal. Donna Reed was cast in her role.

She appeared in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1957), and received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for The Bachelor Party (1957). In 1958 she shared a Golden Globe Award for "Most Promising Newcomer" with Sandra Dee and Diane Varsi, and appeared with Elvis Presley in King Creole.

By 1963, she and Spelling were separated, and by 1964 they were divorced. In 1964 she began playing Morticia Addams in the television series The Addams Family, a role which brought her success as a comedienne and a Golden Globe Award nomination.

Her acting career began to decline after the end of The Addams Family in 1966, and while she continued to act, her roles were sporadic. While appearing in the television series Capitol in 1982, she was diagnosed with colon cancer and she played many of her scenes in a wheelchair.

Chemotherapy did little to slow the course of the disease and she died the following year at her home in West Hollywood, California at the age of 53 (she had married long-time boyfriend, actor Peter Bailey-Britton, a month earlier).

Carolyn told her sister, Bette Moriarty, that she wanted her epitaph to be, "She gave joy to the world".

She was entombed at Melrose Abbey Memorial Park Cemetery in Anaheim, California.

Ann-Margret
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Ann-Margret (born April 28, 1941) is a Swedish-born actress and singer. Born Ann-Margret Olsson in Valsjöbyn, Jämtland, Sweden, she moved to the United States when she was young, and grew up in Wilmette, Illinois. She attended Northwestern University and was discovered singing in a nightclub by George Burns. She was often referred to as a "sex-kitten" and the "female Elvis".

Career

Ann-Margret started recording for RCA in 1961. Her recording career was not as successful as her movie career. She had a sexy singing voice which can be compared to that of Eartha Kitt or Nancy Sinatra, and RCA attempted to capitalize on her "Female Elvis" comparison by having her record a version of Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" and other songs similar in style to Presley's hits. She scored one minor hit, "I Just Don't Understand" (it entered the Billboard Top 40 in the third week of August 1961 and stayed 6 weeks, peaking at #17.) Her only charting album is The Beauty and the Beard (1964) which she did with trumpeter Al Hirt. The contract with RCA ended in 1966.

She got her start in acting Pocketful of Miracles in 1961, and followed that up with the successful film State Fair the following year. It was her starring role as the all-American teenager in Bye Bye Birdie which made her a star. When she filmed Viva Las Vegas with Elvis Presley the two began an affair that received considerable attention from the gossip columnists in the various media. The reports led to a showdown with a very worried Priscilla Beaulieu. In her 1985 book, "Elvis and Me", Priscilla Beaulieu Presley recounts this situation and the difficulty when Ann-Margret tried to "cut her off at the pass" with a press announcement that she and Elvis were engaged to be married. Although he ended the affair, Presley remained a friend and continued to send her flowers at the opening of each of her stage show appearances until he died. Of all the Hollywood starlets he had worked with or had a relationship with, Ann-Margret was the only one to attend his funeral.

In 1963, Ann-Margret guest-starred, in animated form, in an episode of Hanna-Barbera's The Flintstones as "Ann-Margrock", further proof that she had arrived as an American cultural icon.


In March 1966, Ann-Margret and entertainers Chuck Day and Mickey Jones teamed up for a USO tour to entertain U.S. servicemen in remote parts of Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia. She still has great affection for the veterans and refers to them as "my gentlemen". [1] Ann-Margret, Day and Jones reunited for an encore of this tour for veterans and troops at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada in November 2005. [2]

In 1971, she starred in Mike Nichols's Carnal Knowledge, marking a change from her sex-kitten musical roles. She garnered a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The following year, while performing at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, she fell 22 feet from the stage and suffered injuries which put her out of commission for several months. Throughout the 1970s, Ann-Margret balanced her live performances with a string of critically acclaimed dramatic film performances that played against her glamorous image.

In 1975 she starred in Tommy, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. In addition, she was nominated for ten Golden Globe Awards, winng five times including for Best Actress for Tommy. She also did a string of successful TV specials, starting with The Ann-Margret Show for NBC in 1968. Now in her mid-60s, she continues to act in movies.

In 1994, she published an autobiography titled Ann Margret: My Story (ISBN 0399138919). She has been married to actor Roger Smith since 1967. Smith suffers from myasthenia gravis, and Ann-Margret has devoted much of her life to caring for him.

Trivia

* Ann-Margret has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6501 Hollywood Blvd.

* In 1995, she was chosen by Empire Magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history; she ranked 10th.

* Actress Lindsay Lohan has declared Ann-Margret to be her idol, and thus, Lindsay portrayed Ann-Margret in a sketch when Lindsay hosted Saturday Night Live in April 15th, 2006.

The airliner pushed back from the gate, the flight attendant gave the passengers the usual information regarding seat belts, etc. Finally she said, "Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to your destination.

Ed sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, "Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman?" When the attendants came by with the drink cart, he said "Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?"

"Yes," said the attendant, "In fact, this entire crew is female." "My God," said Ed, "I'd better have two scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think of all those women up there in the cockpit."

"That's another thing sir," said the attendant,"We no longer call it the cock pit. "Now it's the Box office"

Oh, my Gawd, Bob. You are wicked. Love it.

Missed you, hawkman, but glad to know you are still making headlines at the box office.

I don't think there is anyone here who is not aware of the Barrymores.

Need to search out the Adams family theme song, folks. Back later.

Ok, folks. Here it is:

Artist: ("The Addams Family" by Vic Mizzy) Lyrics
Song: The Addams Family Lyrics

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.

(Neat)
(Sweet)
(Petite)

So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family.

If I remember correctly, listeners, The Addams Family was originally a cartoon in the New Yorker magazine.

Well, if someone needs a "Shout Therapy" now ... :wink:



Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light
Put on the red light, oh

I loved you since I knew ya
I wouldn't talk down to ya
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again it's a bad way

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
You don't have to put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light

Well, my goodness. Here's our Walter back with Roxanne from the red light district. (I had to offer him money to play that song.<big>)

Well, from the other side, folks:

Was in a Paris cafe that first I found him
He was a Frenchman, a hero of the war
But war was over
And here's how peace had crowned him
A few cheap medals to wear and nothing more
Now every night in the same cafe he shows up
And as he strolls by ladies hear him say
If you admire me, hire me
A gigolo who knew a better day

Just a gigolo, everywhere I go
People know the part I'm playing
Paid for every dance
Selling each romance
Every night some heart betraying
There will come a day
Youth will pass away
Then what will they say about me
When the end comes I know
They'll say just a gigolo
As life goes on without me

Just a gigolo, everywhere I go
People know the part I'm playing
Paid for every dance
Selling each romance
Every night some heart betraying
There will come a day
Youth will pass away
Then what will they say about me
When the end comes I know
They'll say just a gigolo
As life goes on without me

Good morning to one and all on this grey old day. However, I say:

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life Lyrics
Artist: Monty Python

Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...

(the music fades into the song)

...always look on the bright side of life!
(whistle)

Always look on the bright side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,

When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And... always look on the bright side of life...

(whistle)
Come on!

(other start to join in)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(whistle)

For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow!

So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of ****,
When you look at it.

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

And always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)
Always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)

Several years ago, I watched West Side Story for the first time. When one of the dance routines with the finger popping began, I immediately thought of the Adams Family theme. A few minutes later, there was John Astin in the film. Makes me wonder if West Side Story didn't in part inspire tha Adams theme.

Good heavens, listeners. I think the sound is mal functioning in our studio.

Didn't hear edgar nor Try.

Hey, Texas. Good point about John Astin. I simply don't recall his having been in West Side Story.

Try, your monty reminds me of a song from O Brother Where Art Thou. Loved that sound track.
