I didn't know Shari made that record and never heard her partner before. It's a nice song.

Nice song by Andrea and I know those Nancy/Lee songs.

Neil Diamond -- "Love on the Rocks" (1980)

wm, I have to smile, because Bill Murray said there are two kinds of people in this world, those who like Neil Diamond and those who don't

I, for one, like most of his songs, and Love on the Rocks was one of them.

I don't embed songs, because I see no need for it.

Another birthday boy, but first some info.

Scott Vincent James Baio ( born September 22, 1960) is an American actor and television director, best known for his roles as Chachi Arcola on the sitcom Happy Days and its spin-off, Joanie Loves Chachi, and as the title character on the sitcom Charles in Charge.

Now, the tribute.

I didn't realize that was Debby Boone singing Baby I'm Yours. I listened as I browsed. I assumed in fact that it was a later version, by the original artist, Barbara George.

Don't remember Nick Cave. Don't really care for his song.

I like Neal Diamond and recall Love on the Rocks.

Scott, I liked in a few things. Never was a fan, particularly.

Bob Lind, with his one hit.

edgar, I loved that Elusive Butterfly by Bob Lind. The visuals were especially lovely. Odd, I couldn't find any info on the man. He sings well.

Another butterfly by Tony.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQh1_ZGzudQ

That was a pop hit from the opera.

in 1945/46 i listened quite a bit to BBC RADIO - via the british forces network .

they had a very catchy opening tune ... and here it is :

I may never have heard that music before, hbg, but it sounds so familiar, I must have.
I like Tony's version of Poor Butterfly, letty.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfLR4NE-7Qc
another Butterfly

I don't know that one either, hbg. It was a good one.

edgar, I love that one by Andy Williams. "I'm Crazy about you Poor Butterfly".

Strange about the BBC. Walter is the one who told me about Vera Lynn. This is a great one by her.

Oops,a little late but here's another butterfly....

Malcolm McLaren - Madame Butterfly.


Madam Butterfly
from the opera "Madam Butterfly" by Puccini
adapted by Malcolm McLaren and Robby Kilgore

Pinkerton:
Back in Nagasaki I got married to Cho Cho San
that was her name
back in those days
and when I was her man
I'm going back to visit her
she got a problem
she got a little Cho Cho
Cho Cho San was her name
and this is her tale of woe
take it away Cho Cho

Cho Cho San:
Today's the day when I see clear
a tiny thread of smoke appear
where blue skies border on the ocean
and a ship is set in motion

All the while I sing this song
I see a dot on the horizon
growing bigger every second
gleaming white in my direction

Who on earth can it be
coming up the path for me
what on earth will he say
shall I run to him or run away

Freaking out he's come to get me
or my feet are stuck but just won't let me
run to him do I dare
Madam Butterfly don't blow it

chorus
Calling Butterfly, Madam Butterfly
that's the name he used to call give
he's my man till the day I die
oh sweet Butterfly, so sweet Butterfly
she's waiting
he'll be back, I have faith in this love track

Pinkerton:
Pinkerton's the name
Lieutenant Colonel Pinkerton! sir
U.S. Navy
I'm a bounder
I married a Yankee girl
but I went back to visit old Japan
where there she was, Cho Cho San

Cho Cho San:
Gotta have something to believe in
my white honkey sure do miss him
someday soon he'll come around
just to stop me nervous breakdown

Call me fool! Call me stupid!
bend my arrow kill this cupid
say it with me
he'll be back
I have faith in this love track

chorus
Little sweet sweet Butterfly
I hear him crowing faintly
thinks I'm just still sweet sixteen
I guess I'll tease him gently

Cho Cho San:
Calling Madam Butterfly
his angel lucked right from the sky
hide my baby in strange places
I feel the fear I might die

Right in his arms and embreaces
softly kissing my eyelashes
got no right no right to doubt it
ain't no doubt no doubt about it

Call me fool! call me stupid!
bend this arrow kil this cupid
I have faith I'll always pray
my white honkey's here to stay

chorus
Call me Butterfly, Madam Butterfly
Butterfly, Butterfly have no fear
I'll be back to wipe your tears
of sweet Butterfly, so sweet Butterfly
she's waiting
I'll wait for him with unshakable faith
he'll be back

Brit, that was the most awesome combination of spas and art and opera that I have ever heard. Don't know Malcolm McLaren, however. Thanks for the introduction.

Here's the original with lyrics.

and the lyrics.


One Fine Day
From Puccini's 'Madame Butterfly'

One fine day you'll find me
A thread of smoke arising on the sea
In the far horizon
And then the ship appearing
Then the trim white vessel
Glides into the harbour
Thunders forth her cannon
See you? Now he is coming
I do not go to meet him
Not I
I stay upon the brow of the hill
And wait there
And wait for a long time
But never weary of the long waiting
From out the crowded city
There is coming a man in the distance

Climbing the hill
Chi sarà? chi sarà?
E come sarà giunto
Che dirà? che dirà?
He will call, 'Butterfly' from the distance
I, without answering
Hold myself quietly concealed
A bit to tease him

One fine day you'll find me
A thread of smoke arising on the sea
In the far horizon
And then the ship appearing

This will all come to pass as I tell you
Banish your idle fears
For he will return
I know
I know he will return
