Chaka Khan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Chaka Khan (born March 23, 1953) is the stage name of the African-American singer Yvette Marie Stevens.

Khan first came to the attention of the music world as the singer of the funk band Rufus in the mid-1970s and with the help of Stevie Wonder, broke into both the pop music and R&B charts in 1974 with the hit "Tell Me Something Good". Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, the band had a number of R&B hits, including "Tell Me Something Good", "Masterjam", "Sweet Thing", "Do You Love What You Feel?", and "Once You Get Started". In 1978, Khan recorded her highly-orchestrated Arif Mardin-produced disco smash hit "I'm Every Woman". In 1984, Khan released her hip-hop based hit, "I Feel for You" off the album of the same name, written (and originally recorded) by Prince with a harmonica cameo appearance by Stevie Wonder, which launched her recording career back into full gear. Produced by David Foster, the popular ballad "Through the Fire" also reached the top ten. "Through the Fire" has later been sampled by hip-hop record producer/rapper Kanye West in "Through The Wire"

In 1992 Chaka Khan released her Album "The Woman I Am" which she received a Grammy award for best Rhythm & Blues vocal performance for. The albums hit single "Love You All My Lifetime" was penned by German hit songwriter duo Irmgard Klarmann and Felix Weber and was produced by David Gamson.

On December 3, 2004, she received an honorary doctorate degree from Berklee College of Music.

Imagine yourself to be the nun that is sitting at her desk grading these papers all the while trying to keep a straight face and maintain your composure!

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IF YOU KNOW THE BIBLE EVEN A LITTLE, YOU'LL FIND THIS HILARIOUS! IT COMES FROM A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT SPELLING HAS BEEN LEFT IN.

Well, there's our Raggedy and Bio Bob in consort with pictures, background and funny observations about the Bible.

Love those remarks by kids, Bob.

Thanks to the both of you. Knew Mommy Dearest, but not the horse nor the Spainard? <smile>

Well, as I teased Walter earlier, I must tease RexRed with a song dedication:

This song came from the movie The Pagan (1929) with Ramon Navarro. Tons of people have sung it, listeners:

Where the golden sunbeams
And the lazy land dreams
All the happy years thru
You'll belong to me and I to you

Come with me where moonbeams
Light Tahitian skies
And the starlit waters
Linger in your eyes

Native hills are calling
To them we belong
And we'll cheer each other
With the pagan love song.



Later, a funny Netherlands item for nimh.

Lets tryagain. Where is that riddler, I wonder?

And don't forget this one, Letty.

Love it, Raggedy. Is Ester still with us?

Also wondering if our editor has been fired?

Now this one, folks, is for Tryagain:

Three Dog Night:



Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see




Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said "That ain't the way to have fun, no" uh uh

Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smokin' 'bout scare me half to death
Open up the window sucker, let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend - she just passed out on the floor
I've seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is - I don't wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said "That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me not to come)
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son" (listen to me)

Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me not to come)
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son

Thank you Letty, that was sweet of you. That little song is one of my all time favorites.


Monkeys Lyrics

Daydream Believer Lyrics


Oh, I could hide neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six-o'clock-alarm would never end
Puts it's rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor's cold and it stings.

Ref.:
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen

2.
You once start of me
As a white night on his deed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good time starts and ends
Without dollar one to spend
But how much baby do me really need

Ref.:
Cheer up sleepy Jean ( - 2x - )
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen

Ref.:
Cheer up sleepy Jean ( - 2x - )
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen

Ah, sleepy Jean, Try. a lovely and haunting song, and yours inspires another.

Written by Rod McKuen
Peak chart position # 2 in 1969


Jean, Jean, roses are red
All the leaves have gone green
And the clouds are so low
You can touch them, and so
Come out to the meadow, Jean

Jean, Jean, you're young and alive
Come out of your half-dreamed dream
And run, if you will, to the top of the hill
Open your arms, bonnie Jean

Till the sheep in the valley come home my way
Till the stars fall around me and find me alone
When the sun comes a-singin' I'll still be waitin'

For Jean, Jean, roses are red
And all of the leaves have gone green
While the hills are ablaze with the moon's yellow haze
Come into my arms, bonnie Jean

(Jean, Jean)
Jean, you're young and alive!!
Come out of your half-dreamed dream
And run, if you will to the top of the hill
Come into my arms, bonnie Jean

Jean

La-la-la-la, etc.

That reminds me of our Francis, folks, because McKeun knew Jacques Brel personally.

Hey, speaking of bonnie Jean, where's our bonnie McTag?

Yeah, mama don't allow no guitar playing 'round here
Yeah, mama don't allow no guitar playing 'round here
I don't care what mama don't allow I'll play my guitar anyhow
Mama don't allow no guitar playing 'round here
Hey, mama don't allow no bass in this place
Yeah, mama don't allow no bass in this place
I don't care what mama don't allow I'll play my bass anyhow
Mama don't allow no bass in this place
Yeah, mama don't allow no drumming going on
Yeah, mama don't allow no drumming going on
I don't care what mama don't allow
Gonna play my drums anyhow
Mama don't allow no drumming going on
Yeah, mama don't allow no piano players in here
Mama don't allow no piano players in here
I don't care what mama don't allow
Gonna play my piano anyhow
Mama don't allow no piano players in here
Yeah, mama don't allow no reefer-smoking round about
Yeah, mama don't allow no reefer-smoking round about
Yeah, I don't care what mama don't allow I'm gonna smoke my reefer anyhow
Mama don't allow no reefer in here
Mama don't allow us all playing at the same time
Mama don't allow us all playing at the same time
I don't care what mama don't allow
We're all gonna play all at the same time anyhow
Mama don't allow us all playing at the same time

Well, dys, I think we all know that one, cowboy. Here's a slogan for you:

DYSLECTICS OF THE WORLD UNTIE; WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR SNEAKERS.

A poem for our listeners:

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.--Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn

Billy Wordsworth

Lovely poem.

To answer your question about Esther, Letty. Yes, she is still alive.

Funny, you played "Jean". This morning I was trying to remember who had such a big hit with that song. Just before you played it, I remembered his name was "Oliver". I wonder what became of Oliver.

I have been @ the pub.

Very nice, and the jukebox was not too loud this week.

(alan jackson/roger murrah/keith stegall)

Don't rock the jukebox

I wanna hear some jones
Cause my heart ain't ready
For the rolling stones
I don't feel like rocking
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

Before you drop that quarter
Keep one thing in mind
You got a heartbroke hillbilly
Standing here in line
I've been down and lonely
Ever since she left
Before you punch that number
May I make one request

Dont rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some jones
Cause my heart ain't ready
For the rolling stones
I don't feel like rocking
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

I ain't got nothing
Against rock and roll
But when your heart's been broken
You need a song that's slow
There ain't nothing like a steel guitar
To drown a memory
Before you spend your money baby
Play a song for me

Dont rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some jones
Cause my heart ain't ready
For the rolling stones
I don't feel like rocking
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
Dont rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

Burma Shave
(Roger Miller)

Yonder come-a Willie, he's a-passin' on the hill
He don't dress nice, but tries good to kill

CHORUS:
Burma Shave, Burma Shave
Burma Shave, Burma Shave
I bet I've seen a million roads
Of them little red bow-legged signs up & down the line
Come on, come on & get it, get it

Pappy ain't a smart, he ain't but a-quizzin'
But with one thing he knows how to keep 'em all his

(chorus)
(instrumental)

Way down yonder by the forks of the branch
The old sow whistles & the little pigs dance

(chorus)
(instrumental)

Roses are red, violets are blue
You chase me & I'll catch you

(chorus)

Delightful all. I have just had a lovely evening with Eva and her son, so I will definitely recognize everyone and their wonderful contributions tomorrow. For my goodnight song:

Dear heart wish you were here ,
To warm this night,
And dear heart it seems like a year,
Since you've been out of my sight.

An empty chair a table for one,
It's a lonesome town alright,


But soon I'll see you again,
At my front door.
And, dear heart I want you to know,
I'll miss your love never more.

From Letty with love.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me
The words she's written took me by surpise
You'd never read them in her eyes.
They said that she had found the love she waited for.
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

When she confronted with the writing there,
Simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
Her total disconcerting air
And though she tried to hide
The love that she denied,
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife
All the sweet things that I can find.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife
All the sweet things that she can find
All the sweet things they can find
