WA2K Radio is now on the air

C.J. To tell you the truth, I can't remember hearing that one either, but the Where Am I thread has elicited those memories more than once, honey. I know the melody line as well.

Well, folks, where is the rest of Europe?

Is there a nice melody for this bit of Europe?

Where's there's our resident French brat. Hey, Francis. I already did one for you, and did I get a thank you? Of course not. <smile> Have several from the movie French Kiss. Choose one and we'll give it a spin.

Incidentally, mirror man. Did you see the item about "the mirror that reflects your future self"?

(pauses waiting for reply. )

I hope that my future self will be more thankful than the present one, Miss Letty...

Okay; okay. Here's one for Francis with the half a face:



From the movie French Kiss. This version by Louis Armstrong

Hold me close and hold me fast.
This magic spell you cast;
this is la vie en rose.
When you kiss me, heaven sighs.
And though I close my eyes;
I see la vie en rose.
When you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.
Give your heart and soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.
Mmm, when you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.
Give your heart, your soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.

I'm icing down the champagne letty...I expect we'll reach 2,000 about 2 am

Isn't that a lovely melody?

well, what do you know, listeners. There's our panz. Where you been, brat? I suspect it was the notion that Francis would provide the champagne. <smile>

Yes, Francis. That is a beautiful melody. Unfortunately, I, for one, have never heard it by Edith Piaff.

yeah, 2000 pages in a short while. That's definitely cause
for celebrations!!

Kinks › Lola

I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
Coca-cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

You know folks, I never realized this radio station would take off as it has done, but, of course, it is all of you that have made it so.

Try, Thanks for that kinky Lola song, honey. Love it.

I want to try(pardon me) an experiment here for a moment:



Well, folks, it worked. Hey, panz. Can you play that song?

It ain't the way you move
It ain't the way that you move me
Oh no
It ain't the way you shake
It ain't the way that you shake me
Oh no
I've lived 25 years
I'm a kid on the run
I got a pistol for action
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know
I love the way you use
I love the way that you use me
Oh yeah
I love the way you shoot
I love the way that you shoot to kill me
Oh yeah
It's taken miles of lines
To learn the right from the wrong
I'll keep you hangin on
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know

Well, shari. Good to see you back. I guess the silence is a guy thing. You know--the strong silent type?

Like your song, incidentally.

Silently silent


He can never speak well, who knows not how to hold his Peace.
plutarch.

Most men speak when they do not know how to be silent, He is wise who knows when to hold his peace.Tie your tongue, lest it be wanton and luxuriate; keep it within the banks; a rapidly flowing river soon collects mud.ambrose.

Silence in women is like speech in men, deny it who can, ben johnson

The unspoken word never does harm.kossuth
Silence is the ecstatic bliss of souls, that by intelligence converse. otway.

Silence is the understanding of fools and one of the virtues of the wise. boileau.

I do not know of those that therefore only are reputed wise, for saying nothing.shakespeare.

Let us be silent that we may hear the whispers of the gods.emerson

He who silent loves to be wth us, and who loves us in our silence has touched one of the keys that ravish hearts.lavater.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. Proverbs 10-19.

Polonius also says, among many other things,

Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.

and

Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.

Imagine this, if you will, listeners.

You have been invited to a party and in the due course of the evening, you lean over to someone and ask them a question. They give you a disdainful look and turn away. How would you feel?

And that's my op. ed. for the late afternoon.

Here's some interesting news from filmdom:

"Casablanca" named greatest movie script 1 hour, 57 minutes ago



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Round up the usual suspects: The Writers Guild of America has named "Casablanca" as No. 1 on its first list of the "101 Greatest Screenplays."


The screenplay for the wartime tale of courage and cynicism starring Humphrey Bogart was written by Howard Koch and brothers Julius and Philip Epstein.

It was followed on the list by the screenplay for "The Godfather," written by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola; "Chinatown," written by Robert Towne; "Citizen Kane," by Herman Mankiewicz and Orson Welles; and "All About Eve" by Joseph Mankiewicz.

Rounding out the top 10 were 'Annie Hall," by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman; "Sunset Boulevard" by the writing team of Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder and D.M. Marshman Jr.; Paddy Chayefsky's "Network"; Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond's "Some Like It Hot"; and Coppola and Puzo's "The Godfather Part II."

Three writers -- Allen, Coppola and Wilder -- had four films on the list, while three others had three: William Goldman, John Huston and Charlie Kaufman.

The list was announced by the Writers Guild on Thursday night.

The list was chosen by Guild members from more than 1,400 nominated screenplay.

I can play it...but this chord should be C demented

Demented? Well, panz. That just got a laugh from Letty.

No way can I play that piece on piano. Let's see now, listeners. What key is that song in? Hmmmm. Four flats; mnemonic device;

B E A D. The key of E?

Well, this song was inspired from edgar's Judas thread:

Jesus Christ; Superstar


MARY MAGDALENE


I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool,
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.

I think "Casablanca" is so popular since it has a somewhat
troubled ending. We really wanted Ingrid Bergman to stay with Humphrey Bogart so badly. Yet, she did the right thing and
followed her husband, but deep down, we know she still loved
Bogart. An ending without closure will trouble us forever!

Trouble Lyrics

Cat Stevens


Trouble
Oh trouble set me free
I have seen your face
And it's too much too much for me

Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You're eating my heart away
And there's nothing much left of me

I've drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So won't you be fair
So won't you be fair

I don't want no more of you
So won't you be kind to me
Just let me go where
I'll have to go there

Trouble
Oh trouble move away
I have seen your face
and it's too much for me today

Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery

I've seen your eyes
and I can see death's disguise
Hangin' on me
Hangin' on me

I'm beat, I'm torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to see

Trouble
Oh trouble move from me
I have paid my debt
Now won't you leave me in my misery

Trouble
Oh trouble please be kind
I don't want no fight
And I haven't got a lot of time

You're right, Jane. If it weren't for drama, Hollywood would have been dead long ago. One must have hyperbole in order to wring the pathos out of movie goers, right? and, of course, Casablanca was the ultimate in propaganda for that time in the world.

Well, let's play it, folks.

By
Dooley Wilson

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's thory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Hey, Try. What's the cat man's new epithet. Liked him better as Steve. <smile>
