Such A Night
» Elvis Presley
(Words & music by Lincoln Chase)

It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
The moon was bright oh how so bright
It was it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Oo-oo when she kissed me
I had to fall in love

Oh it was a kiss oo-oo what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Oh how she could kiss oh what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips
Sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember

Oh, what a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
Oo-oo such a kiss, such a night

It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
How well I remember, I'll always remember

That night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember

Oh that night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
Well she's gone, gone, gone
Yes she's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn
And my love was gone
But before that dawn
Yes before that dawn and before that dawn
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo
Such a night

Blue Lovebird
Kay Kyser & His Orchestra w/ Alice Faye

Blue lovebird, your song's a tender thing
That wasn't meant to sing alone
Blue lovebird, still singing for your mate
But it's your fate to wait alone

Once there were two of you singing to the dawn
What can a lovebird do when his love has gone
Blue lovebird, your song becomes a sigh
It seems that lovebirds die alone

Blueberry Hill
Glenn Miller & His Orchestra

[Words and music by Al Lewis, Larry Stock and Vincent Rose]

As recorded by Louie Armstrong w/ Gordon Jenkins' Orchestra
And Choir in New York City September 6, 1949

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

(The wind in the willow played)
(Love's sweet melody)
(But all of those vows we made)
(Were never to be)

Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

(I found my thrill)
Come climb the hill with me, baby
(On Blueberry Hill)
We'll see what we shall see
(on Blueberry Hill)
I'll bring my horn with me
(When I found you)
I'll be wit' you where berries are blue
(The moon stood still)
Each afternoon we'll go
(On Blueberry Hill)
Higher than the moon we'll go
(And lingered until)
Then, to a weddin' in June we'll go
(My dreams came true)
Ba-ba-da-de-buzz-buzz va-de-n-da-day

The wind in the willow played (do you really love me)
Love's sweet melody (as I love you)
But all of those vows we made (will you still remember)
Were never to be (when the night is through)

Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

The Breeze And I
Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra

[Words by Al Stillman]
[Music by Ernesto Lecuona]

The breeze and I are saying with a sigh
That you no longer care
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
To dreams we used to share

Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Ending in a strange, mournful tune
And all about me, they know you have departed without me
And we wonder why, the breeze and I
The breeze and I

while edgar's taking a break, i'm sneakin' in with a Stones cover of a Howlin' Wolf number

I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the farm yard upset in every way

The dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl
Watch out strange cat people
Little red rooster's on the prowl

If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
Ain't had no peace in the farm yard
Since my little red rooster's been gone

Wilfrid Hyde-White
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilfrid Hyde-White (May 12, 1903 - May 6, 1991) was an English character actor.

Born in Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire, he studied at Marlborough College and later at RADA, making his stage debut in London in 1922. He worked steadily on the stage, including a tour of South Africa in 1932 before making his film debut, credited as "Hyde White" in 1934. After a memorable supporting role in The Third Man (1949), he became a fixture in British films of the 1950s. Two-Way Stretch (1960) probably shows best the more roguish side to some of the characters he played in this period.

From 1962 to 1965 he also starred in the BBC radio comedy The Men from the Ministry.

He later found success in the United States, and is probably best-known there for playing "Colonel Pickering" in the 1964 film of My Fair Lady. In the 1970s he featured in the US TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and The Associates.

He continued to act upon the stage, and played opposite Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh in Caesar and Cleopatra and Antony and Cleopatra in 1951. He also appeared on Broadway and was nominated for two Tony Awards as best actor.

He was married to actress Blanche Glynne, and later to Ethel Drew. His son is the actor Alex Hyde-White.

He died of congestive heart failure, in Woodland Hills, California, on May 6, 1991 (6 days before his 88th birthday), survived by his wife and son.

Millie Perkins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Millie Perkins (born May 12, 1938 in Passaic, New Jersey) is an American film and television actress.

She grew up in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and began her career as a model. However, in 1959 with much fanfare she was selected to appear in her first film, as the star of The Diary of Anne Frank. She was then signed to appear in the 1961 Elvis Presley film, Wild in the Country, in which she played the girlfriend of Presley's character. For a short time she was one of the bright young stars of Hollywood but left film-making in the latter part of the 1960s, returning only several years later.

On 15th April 1960 she married actor Dean Stockwell, but they divorced on 30th July 1962. She later married the writer and director Robert Thom, who wrote the script for the popular 1968 movie Wild in the Streets, in which she appeared. (Thom died in 1979).

In 1986 Perkins costarred as Sean Penn's mother in the fact-based film At Close Range which starred Christopher Walken. She also played the mother of Charlie Sheen's character in the 1987 movie Wall Street. She was also cast as Andy Garcia's mother in "The Lost City" (2006)

She has worked on a variety of television shows, including seven episodes of Knots Landing (over the period 1983-1990) and four episodes of Any Day Now (from 1998-2002).

Perkins continues to perform both in film and on television. She began appearing on The Young and the Restless in July 2006, but left after less than a month. Her character was recast with another actress.

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out

across the middle of the road.

He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately

the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.

The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover,

pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.

Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead.

The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.

A beautiful woman driving down the highway

sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over.

She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.

"I feel terrible!", he explains,

"I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."

The woman says, "Don't worry."

She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can.

She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends down,

and sprays the contents onto the rabbit.

The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them

and hops off down the road.

Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again,

he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves,

hops another ten feet, turns and waves,

and repeats this again and again and again,

until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands,

"What is in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"

The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.

It says.. (Are you ready for this?)


(Are you sure?)

(This is bad!)

(You know you could just click off

and not read the punch line....)

(You can still delete it)

(You know you're gonna be sorry)

(Last chance)

(OK, here it is)

It says,

"Hair Spray -

Restores life to dead hair,

and adds permanent wave."

Wishing Letty all the best.

Careless
Glenn Miller & His Orchestra

[Words and Music by Lew Quadling, Eddy Howard and Dick Jurgens]

Careless
Now that you've got me loving you
You're careless
Careless in everything you do
You break appointments and think you are smart
If you're not careful
You'll break my heart

Careless
Now that my bridges all are burned
You're careless
Careless in things where I'm concerned
Are you just careless as you seem to be
Or do you just care less for me

Crosstown
Glenn Miller & His Orchestra

Every night at eight you'll find me
Waitin' for a bus to take me crosstown
Someone I adore is waitin' for me
By the door way over crosstown

I used to go uptown
But that romance fell thru
I used to go downtown
But she found someone new
Never realized they advertised
So many things to fill a blue room
I can even see the day that we will
Have a little tea-for-two room

I found a real sweetheart
Who'll never let me down
Haven't time to fuss, I'll miss the bus
And maybe baby will be cross, crosstown

Down Argentina Way
Bob Crosby & His Orchestra

You'll find your life will begin
The very moment you're in Argentina
If you're romantic Senor
Then you will surely adore Argentina
You'll be as gay as can be
If you will learn to, si, si, like a Latin
For mister soon as you learn
Then you will never return to Manhattan

When you hear, yo te amo
You'll steal a kiss and then
If she should say, manana
It's just to let you know
You're gonna meet again

I'll bet an old castanet
That you will never forget Argentina
Where there are rhumbas and tangos
To tickle your spine
Moonlight and music and orchids and wine
You'll want to stay down Argentina way

Here is one,

Black Hole Sun

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you
Scream again

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come

Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you
Anymore

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come

Well thanks Edgar

Strong Persuader

I can hear the couple fighting right next door
Their angry words sound clear thru these thin walls
Around midnight I hear him shout unfaithful woman
And I knew right there the axe was gonna fall

It's because of me
It's because of me

I heard him shout who is he, she mumbled low
He said baby don't you lie to me no more
And I'm listening thru these thin walls silently
As he called out my name I was right next door

It's because of me
It's because of me

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
That she was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

At daybreak I hear him back and say goodbye
I can hear him slam the door and walk away
Right next door I hear that woman start to cry
I should go to her but what would I say

It's because of me
It's because of me

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
That she was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

Robert Cray

Clyde McPhatter has always been one of my top favorites.

Long Lonely Nights

Long, long and lonely nights
I cry my eyes out over you
Wond'ring if I did right
And why you left me with a broken heart

Oh, long, long and lonely nights
Oh, how I miss you, my dear
Please, please, come back to me
How I wish you were here

As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face
When I pass through my doorway
What's left for me to face?

Oh, long, long and lonely nights
I guess you're never coming home
Long, long and lonely nights
Ever since you've been gone

As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face
When I pass through my doorway
What's left for me to face?

Oh, oh, oh, long, long and lonely nights
I guess you're never coming home
Long, long and lonely nights
Ever since you've been gone

Please, please, come back to me
You've been gone too long

Down The Road A Piece
Will Bradley

If you wanna hear some Boogie
Then I know the place
It's just an old piano and a knocked out bass
The drummer man's a guy they call eight beat Mac
You remember Doc and old Beat Me Daddy Slack
Mammy's sellin' chicken fried in bacon grease
Well, come along with me boys
It's just down the road a piece

Now there's a place you really get your kicks
It's open every night about twelve to six
If you wanna hear some boogie then you'll get your fill
Puts the eight beat to you like an old steam mill
Come along with me boys 'fore they lose their lease
It's just down the road, down the road a piece
