Well, hbg, it's Saturday here.

Loved Where The Warm Winds Blow. I know St. Louis Blues, buddy, but not that lovely opera song by Netrebko. (hope I got that right.)

More synchronicity, because today is this guy's birthday.

Bob Marley - So Much Trouble In The World.

Love that song, Brit. Here are the English lyrics.


Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Love that one by Bob Marley, too.

Ah, I had hoped McTag would be with you. Maybe this song will coax him back.

Classic country from Grandpa and Grandma Jones.I stand to be corrected but I think Sukiyaki was the first Japenese song to chart in the UK.

Billy Joel - Stiletto.



She cuts you once, she cuts you twice
But still you believe
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
But you don't have strength to leave
You've been bought, you've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin'
With your insides bleedin'
'Cause deep down you want some more
Then she says she wants forgiveness
It's such a clever masquerade
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't even see the blade

She cuts you hard, she cuts you deep
She's got so much skill
She's so fascinating that you're still there waiting
When she comes back for the kill
You've been slashed in the face
You've been left there to bleed
You want to run away
But you know you're gonna stay
'Cause she gives you what you need
Then she says she needs affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't really mind the pain

She cuts you out, she cuts you down
She carves up your life
But you won't do nothing
As she keeps on cutting
'Cause you know you love the knife
You've been bought, you've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin'
With your insides bleedin'
'Cause deep down you want some more
Then she says she needs affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't really mind the pain

Somebody mentioned the Kingston Trio.

When I was young and impressionable, I used to like this one. Still do, come to think of it.
