edgar, you know how I love Echoes of My Mind. Thanks for commenting, especially to TryingToLearn.
hbg, Chris' Wimoweh reminded me of The Lion Sleeps tonight, and Flip Wilson's Geraldine was indeed funny.
Two songs for the early morning here.
First, Earl "fatha" Hines doing an instrumental of Hoagy's Two Sleep People replete with lyrics.

Here we are
Out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning
Look how late it gets
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight
Here we are
In the cozy chair
Picking on a wishbone
From the Frigidaire
Two sleepy people with nothing to say
And too much in love to break away
Do you remember
The nights we used to linger in the hall?
Father didn't like you at all
Do you remember
The reason why we married in the fall?
To rent this little nest
And get a bit of rest
Well, here we are
Just about the same
Foggy little fella
Drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight.
Now, one that edgar reminded me of that I did not know.
The Eye of the Tiger.

Rocky Balboa (also known as Rocky VI) is the sixth and as of yet final film in the Rocky franchise, directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone. The film, which was also written by Stallone who plays underdog boxer Rocky Balboa, is the sixth film in the Rocky series that began with the Academy Award-winning Rocky thirty years earlier in 1976. The film portrays Balboa in retirement, a widower living in Philadelphia, and the owner and operator of a local Italian restaurant called "Adrian's", named after his late wife.
I think most of us know the legacy of Hines so I won't elaborate. Let's just say he was one hell of a jazz man.
