WA2K Radio is now on the air

It's very clever

Hey, Brit. The clue is in your song before. Think about it! It ain't verbosity.

As my Irish friend told me, the worst tax in America is inflation.

I didn't see the answer in your link, but I could have missed it.

another clue, folks:

if you go to the link read the para. & hit the "click here" link all will be revealed

Ah, John. that was a clever translation, honey. Jack and Jill indeed.

But, you haven't figured out my inflated language line.

Another clue:

Victor Borge.

Take each word, and reduce it listeners, and while we're waiting, how about a night song:

OCEAN GYPSY

ooooooooooohh....
ooooooooooohh....

Tried to take it all away,
Learn her freedom... just inside a day,
And find her soul to find there fears are laid...
Tried to make her love their own,
They took her love... they left her there,
They gave her nothing back that she would want to own...

Gold and silver rings and stones,
Dances slowly off the moon,
No one else could know, she stands alone...
Sleeping dreams will reach for her,
She can not say the words they need,
She knows she's alone and she is free...

Ocean Gypsy of the moon,
The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold...
Ocean Gypsy where are you?
The shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold...

Turned to gold...

Then she met a hollow soul,
Filled him with her light and was consoled,
She was the moon and he the sun was gold...
Eyes were blinded with his light...
The sun she gave reflected back the night
The moon was waning almost out of sight...

Softly Ocean Gypsy calls...
Silence holds the stars a while,
They smile sadly for her where she falls...
Just the time before the dawn,
The sea is hushed the ocean calls her,
Day has taken her and now she's gone...

Well, Europe is asleep, so the answer is:

Any ONE FOR TENNIS.

Geddit?

Here's a game song:

It's All In The Game


Written by Dawes and Sigman
Elton sings on backing vocals
Available on the album Reg Dwight's Piano Goes Pop



Many a tear has to fall
But it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know has love

You have words with him
And your future's looking kind of dim
But these things
Your heart can rise above

Once in a while he won't call
Oh but it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet "OK"

And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away

Come on sing it now
Do-do-do-do-do do doo, oh yeah

And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away

Speaking of games:

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
And never saying what they mean

And they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
'Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

Though we make one another cry
Break our hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we'll hope to die
Said the other was to blame

Neither one will ever give in
Though we gaze on an eight by ten (note 1)
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame

Talking about you and me
And the games people play

People walking up to you
Singing glory hallelujah
And they're trying to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord

Gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate
Come on get on board

Look around tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am

'Cause you've given up your sanity
All your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a damn

Talking about you and me
And the games people play

(Love to hear Joe South sing that one)

some other tunes about games, and sports, well sort of

Centerfield
John Fogerty

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Chorus:
Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.

Well, I spent some time in the mudville nine, watchin' it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the mighty casey struck out.
So say hey willie, tell ty cobb and joe dimaggio;
Don't say "it ain't so", you know the time is now.

Chorus

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun;
(pop) it's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

Chorus
Chorus
Yeah!

I Wish
Skee-Lo

Hey, this is radio station W-S-K-E-E
We're takin' calls off the wish line
Making all your wacky wishes come true

Hello

1-I wish I was little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
and a '64 Impala

I wish I was like six-foot-nine
So I could get with Leoshi
Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine
You know I see her all the time
Everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
I can scheme of ways to make her mine
Cause I know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
So how am I gonna compete with that
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
I'm always last to be picked
And in some cases never picked at all
So I just lean upon the wall
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball
Dag y'all! I never understood
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me I get the hood rats
I tell 'em scat, skittle, skibobble
Got hit with a bottle
And put in the hospital, for talkin' that mess
I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
Glad I came to my senses
Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
Overcome with my thoughts of me and her together
Right?
So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish I had a brand-new car
So far, I got this hatchback
And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at
And when I'm in my car I'm laid back
I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
But that's flat
And do you really wanna know what's really wack, What
See I can't even get a date
So, what do you think of that?
I heard that prom night is the bomb night
With a hood rat you can hold tight
But really tho' on figuero
When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello
Well so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
Well then I'm gonna have to get in my car and go
You know I take the 110 to the 105
Get off on Crenshaw tell my homies look alive
Cause it's hard to survive
Livin' in a concrete jungle and
These girls just keep passin' me by
She looks fly, she looks fly
Makes me say my, my, my
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish I was a little bit taller...
I wish I was a baller...
I wish I was a little bit taller y'all
I wish I was a baller (3)

Hey, I wish I had my way
'Cause everyday would be a Friday
You could even speed on the highway
I would play ghetto games
Name my kids ghetto names
Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine
Yo you know that's on the real
So if you're down on your luck
Then you should know just how I feel
Cause if you don't want me around
See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound
Hey, you, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like that
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish, I wish, I wish...

Well, folks. There's our Raggedy. I like those lyrics, PA. Ah, folks, Eric Berne was right, no?

dj, What a marvelous idea, having a wish line right here on our radio.

You know what I'm thinking, all? That Letty should retire for the evening.

Goodnight, everyone. Blowing all a kiss from Florida around the world.

From Letty with love.

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything you're heart desires will come to you

If your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do

(Fate is kind, she brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing)

Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true


Sweet dreams, Letty.

WHEN MY BLUE MOON TURNS TO GOLD AGAIN
(Walker - Sullivan)
ELVIS PRESLEY

When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back in my arms to stay

Memories that linger in my heart
Memories that make my heart grow cold
But someday they'll live again sweetheart
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

The lips that used to thrill me so
Your kisses were meant for only me
In my dreams they live again sweetheart
But my blue moon is just a memory

The castles we used to build together
Were the sweetest stories ever told
Maybe we will live them all again
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

PARALYZED
(Otis Blackwell - Elvis Presley)
ELVIS PRESLEY

When you looked into my eyes
I stood there like I was hypnotized
You sent a feeling through my spine
A feeling warm and smooth and fine
All I could do was stand there paralyzed

When we kissed, ooh, what a thrill
You took my hand and ooh, baby, what a chill
I felt like grabbin' you real tight
Squeeze and squeeze with all of my might
All I could do was stand there paralyzed

Oh yeah lucky me, I'm a-singin' everyday
Ever since the day you came my way
You made my life for me just one big happy game
I'm gay every morning, at night I'm still the same

Well, do you remember that wondeful time?
When you held my hand and swore that you'd be mine
In front of the preacher you said; "I do"
I couldn't say a word for thinkin' of you
All I could do was stand there paralyzed

Oh lucky me, I'm a-singin' everyday
Ever since the day you came my way
You made my life for me just one big happy game
I'm gay every morning, at night I'm still the same

Honey child, do you remember that wonderful time?
When you held my hand and swore that you'd be mine
In front of the preacher you said; "I do"
I couldn't say a word for thinkin' of you
All I could do was stand there paralyzed
All I could do was stand there paralyzed

I'M LEFT, YOU'RE RIGHT, SHE'S GONE
(Stan Kesler - W. Taylor)
ELVIS PRESLEY

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone.
You're right, and I'm left all alone.
Well, you tried to tell me so,
But how was I to know
That she was not the one for me?

You told me all along,
You're right, our love was so wrong.
But now I changed my mind,
Because she broke the ties that bind,
And I know that she never cared for me.

Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do,
I guess I'm not so smart.
Oh, you tried to tell me along she'd only break my heart.
I'm left, you're right, she's gone.
You're right, and I'm left all alone.

Well, she's gone I know not where,
But now I just don't care.
For now I'm falling for you.

If you'll forgive me now,
I'll make it up somehow.
So happy we will be,
In a home just for three,
And I'll soon forget her,
Now I know.

Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do,
I guess I'm not so smart.
You tried to tell me all along,
She'd only break my heart.

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone.
You're right, and I'm left all alone.
Well, she's gone, I know not where,
But now I just don't care,
For now I've fallen for you.

Good EARLY morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

First, let me observe that it is still deliciously dark here, and then I would like to acknowledge Raggedy's and edgar's songs of yesterday.

I have one of my own, folks, because a cue in the environment of that strange black square that I have in my bedroom reminds me.

Artist: Lyrics
Song: Someone To Watch Over Me Lyrics

Verse

KAY:
There's a saying old
Says that love is blind.
Still we're often told
"Seek and ye shall find."
So I'm going to seek a cenain lad I've had in mind.
Looking ev'rywhere,
Haven't found him yet;
He's the big affair I cannot forget -
Only man I ever think of with regret.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?


Refrain

There's a somebody I'm longing to see:
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me.
I'm a littLe lamb who's lost in the wood;
I know I could
Always be good
To one who'll watch over me.
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome,
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him, please, to put on some speed,
Follow my lead? Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me.

News from the world of Jazz:

Fats Domino, Dylan to Headline Jazz Fest

02/15/2006 5:32 PM, AP


Fats Domino, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon will join Keith Urban and Yolanda Adams at this year's New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival as it celebrates this city's music and culture in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Festival organizers on Wednesday announced a lineup filled with hundreds of the city's most famous musicians, many of whom are seasoned performers at the festival. The event is being billed as a homecoming for many musicians.

"The true heart and soul of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, as with New Orleans itself, is music," said Quint Davis, the festival producer. "It's the force that drives and defines us. It's not just for entertainment, but it feeds our soul."

Many other big acts will grace the festival, such as the Dave Matthews Band, Lionel Richie and Jimmy Buffet.

The festival is scheduled to take place April 28-30 and May 5-7. As usual, it will be held at the New Orleans Fair Grounds, a horse racing track that flooded and was seriously damaged by the storm.

Irma Thomas, New Orleans' acclaimed soul singer, encouraged displaced New Orleanians to attend. "Find a way to come back home because this is where your heart is," she said.

The festival will feature, as always, many of Louisiana's favorite musicians. They include blues guitarist Walter "Wolfman" Washington, singers Charmaine Neville and Clarence "Frogman" Henry, clarinetist Michael White, voodoo rocker Dr. John, pianist Allen Toussaint, the Rebirth Brass Band, clarinetist Pete Fountain, singer Marcia Ball and the Dixie Cups.

The festival was born in 1970 and has grown into one of this city's biggest annual events along with Mardi Gras.

Can't keep a good band down, folks

Vera-Ellen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Vera-Ellen (February 16, 1921 - August 30, 1981), American actress and dancer.

Vera-Ellen Westmeyer Rohe was born in Norwood, Ohio. She began dancing at the age of 9 and quickly became very proficient. At 16, she was a winner on the Major Bowes Amateur Hour, and entered upon a professional career.

In 1939, Vera-Ellen made her Broadway theatre debut in the Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein musical Very Warm For May at the age of 18. She became one of the youngest Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, although she was not tall. This led to roles on Broadway, where she was spotted by Samuel Goldwyn, who cast her opposite Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo in the film Wonder Man.

She appeared in several films, including White Christmas, On the Town, and Call Me Madam. Vera-Ellen was also one of the stars in the last Marx Brothers film, Love Happy, and in two films with Fred Astaire, Three Little Words (1950) and The Belle of New York (1952).

During the 1950s, she was reputed to have the "smallest waist in Hollywood", probably because she suffered from anorexia, which contributed to to her premature aging [1].

She died of cancer at her home in California at the age of 60 in 1981.

Sonny Bono
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Salvatore Phillip "Sonny" Bono (February 16, 1935 - January 5, 1998) was an American record producer, singer, actor, and politician whose career spanned over three decades.


Entertainment career

Bono began his music career working for the legendary record producer Phil Spector in the early 1960s. Later in the same decade, he achieved commercial success, along with his then-wife Cher, as part of the singing duo Sonny and Cher. Bono wrote, arranged, and produced a number of hit records with singles like "I Got You, Babe" and "The Beat Goes On", though Cher received more attention as the musical talent. Sonny and Cher starred in a popular television variety show, The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, which ran on CBS from 1971 to 1974.

Sonny and Cher had a daughter, Chastity Bono, but they divorced in 1975. Sonny continued his acting career, doing bit roles in such shows as Fantasy Island and The Love Boat. He played the part of a mad bomber in Airplane II: The Sequel. Bono married Susie Coelho, but divorced her in 1984; he married again in 1986 to the much younger Mary Whitaker. He became a Scientologist, but he claimed to still be Roman Catholic on all official documents, campaign materials, websites, etc., perhaps because of the negative connotations of Scientology. The couple had two children, Chesare Elan Bono and Chianna Marie Bono.


Political career

Bono entered politics after experiencing great frustration with local government bureaucracy in trying to open a restaurant in Palm Springs, California. With conservative talk radio host Marshall Gilbert as his campaign manager (and later as the godfather of his two children by his wife, Mary), Bono placed a successful bid to become the new mayor of Palm Springs. He was instrumental in making the city more business-friendly and in spearheading the creation of the Palm Springs International Film Festival, [1]now held each year in Bono's memory.

After unsuccessfully running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in 1992, Bono was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994 to represent California's 44th District. He introduced the controversial Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act during his tenure to benefit the music industry and also championed the restoration of the Salton Sea, bringing the giant lake's plight to national attention. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich made a public appearance and speech at the shore of the lake on Bono's behalf.


Death

On January 5, 1998, Bono died suddenly of injuries from hitting a tree while skiing at the Heavenly Ski Resort near South Lake Tahoe, California. He was 62 years old. (The accident came just days after Michael Kennedy died in a skiing accident on December 31, 1997, in Colorado.) Bono's widow, Mary, was elected to fill his unexpired Congressional term, and she has since been re-elected as a moderate Republican in 1998 and later elections in her own right. She continues to champion many of her late husband's causes, including the ongoing fight as how to best save the Salton Sea.

Cher, surprisingly distraught, gave a tearful eulogy at Bono's funeral, after which the attendees sang the song "The Beat Goes On". His final resting place is Desert Memorial Park in nearby Cathedral City, California, the same cemetery in which Frank Sinatra was laid to rest later that same year. The epitaph on Bono's headstone reads: "And The Beat Goes On".

Margaux Hemingway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Margaux Hemingway (February 16, 1955 - July 2, 1996) was a film actress and model who appeared in several movies. She was born in Portland, Oregon, the sister of actress Mariel Hemingway and the granddaughter of writer Ernest Hemingway. She grew up on her grandfather's farm in Ketchum, Idaho.

Hemingway was named for the famous Bordeaux vineyard Château Margaux, but in later years, after giving up drinking alcohol, she spelled her name Margot. She struggled with a variety of disorders, including bulimia and epilepsy. She allowed a video recording to be made of a therapy session related to her bulimia and it was broadcast on television. She supported herself later in life by autographing her nude photos from Playboy Magazine, and working on a psychic telephone hotline.

On July 2, 1996, on the anniversary of her grandfather's suicide, Hemingway was found dead in Santa Monica, California at age 41. She had taken an overdose of sedatives. Though her death was ruled a suicide, her sister Mariel disputes this finding. Her remains were cremated and Margaux was inurned in the Hemingway family plot in the Ketchum Cemetery in Ketchum, Idaho.

Mr. Potato Pants

These two buddies are hanging out at a bar. The one buddy says to
the other buddy, "Hey man, what's the deal with all this luck you
have with women? We both dress about the same, make the same amount
of money, and neither one of us is bad looking or anything. What's
your secret?"

The lucky guy says. "You know, it's all about the package."

"The package, what the hell do you mean?", says the unlucky guy.

The lucky guy says, "Every time I go out, I stuff a potato down my
pants. The women see that bulging package and they come running!"

"Cool!" says the unlucky guy, "I think I'll give that a shot."

About two weeks go by and they're hanging out at a bar again. The
lucky guy asks his buddy, "So, did you try out the potato trick?"

The unlucky guy, obviously upset, responds, "Man, I don't know what
the deal is, but when I tried it the women ran away from me. Even
worse, they all pointed their fingers and laughed at me all night
long! That sucked, I got No action!"

"That's strange," says the lucky guy. "EVERYTIME I stuff a potato
down the front of my pants, the girls all love it."

"Oh, the FRONT of the pants!" says the unlucky guy.
