Oh, my goodness, folks. There's our Turtle aka m.d. Heat waves ain't good for either one of you, Yit.

Song: Wade in the Water Lyrics


Wade in the Water
Wade in the Water, yitwail
wade in the Water
God's gonna trouble the Water

Who's that yonder dressed in red
Wade in the Water
Must be the Children that Moses led
And God's gonna trouble the Water

Refrain

Who's that yonder dressed in white
Wade in the Water
Must be the Children of the Israelites
God's gonna trouble the Water

Refrain

Who's that yonder dressed in blue
Wade in the Water
Must be Children coming through
And God's gonna trouble the Water

Refrain

If you don't believe I've been redeemed
Wade in the Water
Just see the holy ghost looking for me
God's gonna trouble the Water

The One I Loved Back Then
George Jones


I stopped off at the Quicksack for some beer and cigarettes
The old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette
He said, I had one just like her son, a 1963
'Til the man down at the bank took her from me

Oh She was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle Son
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

Then I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin
The old man scratched his head, then he looked at me and grinned
He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want
It's the brunette in your 'vette that turns me on

I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle Son
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

Lord she was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle Son
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

She reminds me of the one I loved back then

Hotter than a two dollar pistol, edgar? Great song, Texas. Thanks, cause we miss the country here:

I suspect this one is hot as well:

MARCHING TO PRAETORIA


I'm with you and you're with me
And so we are all together,
So we are all together,
So we are all together.
Sing with me, I'll sing with you,
And so we will sing together,
As we march along.

(Chorus)
We are marching to Praetoria, Praetoria, Praetoria,
We are marching to Praetoria, Praetoria, HURRAH!

This song is an old Afrikaner military marching song as in marching to Pretoria, South Africa. Probably from the Boer War era,

The Praetorian Guard started as personal body guards to late Roman emperors, but eventually morphed to the actual decision makers regarding whether or not an emperor survived and who would replace. Of coursed that was based on what was politically expedient for them.

That one, listeners, was inspired by the Where Am I forum

the turtle & the whale found a shady spot

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you

Ah, Mr. Turtle, that's where "beetles" go.

But, one can also find under the sea.....



The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate

Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow

Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea

Celeste

Here I stand acting like a silly clown would,
I don't know why Would anybody like to try
The changes I'm going through ?
A hidden lie would fortify
Something that don't exist
But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad,
So many more things to do,
I intend to come right through them all with you.
My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind
We talk a while by a crooked stile,
You're lucky to catch a few.
There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand,
It's a pleasure to be true.
In my crystal halls a feather falls
Being beautiful just for you
But that might not be quite true, that's up to you.
Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake
A strange young girl sang her songs for me
And left 'fore the day was born.
That dark princess with saddening jest
She lowered her eyes of woe,
And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try
The changes she's going through
But I hope love comes right through them all with you.

Donovan Leitch

here's an old sea shanty type of song too lull us into a false sence of security



The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!


2

What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.


3

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

Why, edgar. What a lovely song. Is that for Celeste or by Celeste?

I especially like the line, "..in my crystal halls a feather falls being beautiful just for you.."

Well, I tried my very best to locate a song by Charlie Feathers, folks, but no luck; however, I ran across this interesting song

Me & Parvati In Paris, France
Surrounded by musicians, dressing to dance
On the tomb of acquisitions
Where bloomed our positions
Scattered like scars on the skin of the stars
Needing celebration we entered a bar
The conversation centered on conservation
She dropped a tear for the frozen deer in the forests of upper Thailand (tigerland).
Out on the street, blazing with light we threw back our heads
Crazed with delight, then she asked "Who do you really think you are?"
Seeking sudden treasure on the Rue St. Jacques
The delicate creation of a bruise on her back.
Struck down form behind by a process in the back of her mind
Time well tell if her spell was cast or improvised
- on the curve of disaster I never dare to ask her
She made her name on the exit lace of the famous Stella Highways (hide-a-way)
Out on the street Blazing with delight
I asked her a question & she got it right
- (the answer was the question she asked me)

John, where HAVE you been, Brit? and there you are in the company of an owl and a pussy-cat.

Just happy to know that you are okay, honey.

Pussy-cat, pussy-cat where have you been?
I've been to London to visit the queen.

Pussy-cat, pussy-cat what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under her chair.

Sorry, folks. I refuse to play What's New Pussy-cat.

while looking up something else, i stumbled across this tune from the rocky horror picture show

South Australia Lyrics



In South Australia I was born
Heave away, Haul away
In South Australia 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, Haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, Haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia

There's just one thing that's on my mind
Heave away, Haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia

And as we wallop round Cape Horn
Heave away, Haul away
You'll wish to God you've never been born
We're bound for South Australia

dj, you are one amazing discographer, buddy. My word, you just named all the oldies. Thanks, Canada.

Since you once told me that David Bowie said he was what he sang, let's follow through for our listeners:



DAVID BOWIE Starman

the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down
some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up
in fright

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

Why am I always missing our Try. Thank you on behalf of all the Auzzies here. Great song, incidentally.

How neat, listeners. Our Dutchy is across the way searching for a dyke, and Try is playing an Australian song on our wee radio.

For an interested listener:



The Girls Around Cape Horn

Our ship she lay at anchor,
Our ship of high renown.
Our ship she lay at anchor,
in fair Boston Town.
Awaiting there for orders,
to take us far from home.
Our orders came for Rio,
And thence around Cape Horn.

We hoisted our three topsails,
and our anchors we did weigh.
We bade our friends a kind farewell,
and then we sailed away.
We sailed away for Rio,
and on our course did steer.
'Twas many a stormy day and night
ere Rio did appear.

At last we anchored at Rio,
just for a little while,
To overhaul the rigging
And to fit the ship in style.
The shipping, how they cheered us,
As we sailed along,
And wished us many a pleasant voyage
around and off Cape Horn.

At last we rounded that stormy cape,
Fair nights and pleasant days.
The next place that we anchor
Will be Valparaiso Bay.
For there the girls will welcome you,
I solemnly declare,
For they're not much like the Liverpool girls
with their curls and glossy hair.

They'll invite the Yankee sailors to come on shore and spree.
And when your money it is gone, they'll give it back to thee.
And when your money it is gone, they'll not on you impose,
For they're not much like those Liverpool girls who'll go and pawn your clothes.

Farewell to Valparaiso, just for a little while,
Likewise to all the others of those fair Pacific isles.
And when we get home again, we'll sit and sing this song.
God bless those little Spanish girls we left around Cape Horn

MEAT LOAF lyrics -
"Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)"

When the wind is howling through your window pane,
it's not the only pain of the night
You're burning up in your bed, you've got a fever of love,
and there's not an antibody in sight

Hey Jenny, Jenny, why are you crying?
There's a beauty of a moon in the sky
But I guess when you've been leadin such a sheltered life,
you never lift your head and look so high

You don't have a lot
But it's all that you've got, and you can turn it into more than it seems
Just give it a shot, fantasise every movement,
and imagine every inch of your dream

No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,
and the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Somebody told me so
Somebody told me, now I know
Every night in my prayer,
I'll be praying that the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere

When the sweat is sizzling on your skin in the dark,
and you're desperate now for somewhere to turn
Every muscle in rebellion, every nerve is on edge,
and every limb has been erotic'ly burned

Hey Johnny, Johnny, why are you shaking,
when a boy should do whatever he can
You've been nothing but an angel every day of your life,
and now you wonder what it's like to be damned

You don't have a lot
But it's all that you've got, and you can turn it into more than it seems
Just give it a shot, fantasise every movement,
and imagine every inch of your dream

No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you've been wanting to feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,
and the good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere
Good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere
Somebody told me so
Somebody told me, now I know
Every night in my prayer,
I'll be praying that the good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere

Every time I try and dream you,
I can't believe how hard it's been to conjure up your face and trace your body in the air
Oh the seconds go on for ever, but the thirds and the fourth ones are even better
Every time I do it just a little bit longer
Every time I dream it's just a little bit stronger, than real life

No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,
and the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Somebody told me so
Somebody told me, now I know
Every night in my prayer,
I'll be praying that the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere
Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere
Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere

Well, Try. Good girls; bad girls; good boys; bad boys. What's a woman to do, buddy?

Van Morrison:

Bad or Good


Everybody got some soul
I don't care about young or old
Gotta hold on when all is gone
Make out like it's fine

While we say yeah (bad or good)
Oh yeah (bad or good)
Yeah (bad or good)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (bad or good)
That'll ever happen (bad or good)
Everybody (bad or good) sometimes
Oh, oh yeah

Don't even have to say one word
And it's nothing that we've seen or heard
Get out, get out, jump and shout
They'd like to know what it's all about

Just say yeah (bad or good)
Oh yeah (bad or good)
And it's alright baby (bad or good)
Gotta happen (bad or good)
Everybody (bad or good)
Sometimes (bad or good)
Some sweet time, ooo-ooo

(instrumental)

If there's something baby
You want me to do
Come on over here and I'll see about you
Yeah I'll make ya shake it all about
Jump and shout

Just say yeah (bad or good)
Oh yeah (bad or good)
Wah ooo (bad or good, bad or good)
That'll happen, everybody (bad or good)
Sometime (bad or good)
Fades
At sometime (bad or good)
Oh yeah yeah (bad or good)
Oh yeah (bad or good)

Bruce Springsteen
Song: BACK IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN

From the video "Blood Brothers")

You said once I was your treasure, and I saw your face in every store
The promises we make at night, oh that's all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love they're empty as a howlin' wind.
Now darlin' I just wanna be

Back in your arms, back in your arms again..
Back in your arms, back in your arms again.
Back in your arms, back in your arms again.

You came to me with love and kindness, but all my life I've been a prisoner
of my own blindness
I met you with indifference, and I don't know why.

Now I wake from my dream, I wake from my dream to this world.
Where all the shadow and darkness and a dark sky unfurls.
And all the love I've thrown away and lost, honey I'm longing for again.
Now there's nothing that I wouldn't do if I could be

Back in your arms, back in your arms again.
Back in your arms, back in your arms again.
Back in your arms, back in your arms again.
Back in your arms

(Alternative first verse)

In my dream my love was lost, I lived by luck and faith.
I carried you inside of me, and prayed it wouldn't be to late.
Now I'm standin' on this empty road, where nothin' moves but the wind...

Daniel Radcliffe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Born: July 23, 1989
Fulham, London, England
Occupation: Actor

Daniel Jacob Radcliffe[1] (born 23 July 1989) is an English actor, best known for playing the wizard Harry Potter in each of the first five films based on the best-selling book series, written by J. K. Rowling.

Biography

Early life

Daniel Radcliffe was born in Fulham, London, the only child of Alan Radcliffe (a literary agent) and Marcia Gresham (a casting agent, who was involved in several films for the BBC). At age five, he expressed a desire to act. In December 1999, he made his first on-screen appearance as the title character in the BBC's televised version of the Dickens novel David Copperfield.

Career

In 1999, Radcliffe was selected to portray the wizard Harry Potter in the big-budget adaptations of the popular book series by J.K. Rowling following auditions involving thousands of applicants. Radcliffe's first theatrical film appearance was in 2001 in a small supporting role in The Tailor of Panama; his first film as Potter, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released in the United States as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), was released later that year and became what was then the third highest grossing film of all time (then beaten only by The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and "Titanic").

In 2002, Radcliffe reprised his role in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Co-starring was Kenneth Branagh, who that same year directed the stage production, The Play What I Wrote, in which Radcliffe made an appearance. In 2004 and 2005, Radcliffe returned to the Potter franchise in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The films continued to produce high box office results and were considered successful worldwide.

Radcliffe's next release will be the independent Australian film, December Boys. Filming on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix began in early 2006, and the film is currently scheduled for release in 2007. Radcliffe will also appear on the television sitcom, Extras.

At the age of 16, Radcliffe became the youngest non-royal ever to have an individual portrait in England's National Portrait Gallery. He was only 14 when he posed for artist Stuart Pearson Wright while on a break from filming Harry Potter. On April 13 2006, his portrait was unveiled as part of a new exhibition opening at London's Royal National Theatre and then moved to the National Portrait Gallery where it currently resides. [1]

Personal life

Radcliffe was previously educated at Sussex House School, Knightsbridge, and is currently educated at the public City of London School. He has two dogs named Binka and Nugget.

He plays bass guitar and is a rock music fan who admires a diverse lineup of bands, from The Beatles to Arctic Monkeys. [2] As well as being a fan of Fulham Football Club, Radcliffe was a follower of Formula One Racing. While on set, to keep busy, he enjoys playing table tennis and video games with his other cast members.

Radcliffe's personal fortune has now exceeded GB £23 million making him one of the richest teenagers in the United Kingdom [3]. Radcliffe has been a supporter of various charities, including Demelza House Children's Hospice, to which he has requested fans make donations in lieu of sending him birthday presents.

INSTANT COFFEE!

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

Try, thanks for that song. Nice lyrics, buddy.

Well, there's our hawkman back with his bio's. You are certainly right about the coffee, Bob, with one exception. Often, if it sits too long, it can really talk back to you in a most unpleasant way.

Today is the last Sunday in July. It's difficult to believe that August is only a week away.

Last evening was dragon night on TV, folks, and because your PD watched them all, including Richard Gere in the movie Unfaithful, I'm sorta "dragon" myself this morning.

Back later after a cup of whatever. <smile>
