Play a crooner song.

[Inchworm]

There is not much of a genre choice since crooners almost are a genre.

Here is a Bing-Dino melody for starts.

:hi:

[querelle]

1. Here Ya Go

Matt Dusk - Two Shots of Happy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60vps0QCbNU

The best new jazz singer since Michael Buble.

I love this song!

[Inchworm]

2. That is beautiful

Thanks .. . and ain't it the truth.

:hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

3. Don't know if this counts as a crooner tune, but...This was my favorite

My dad would sing it to me whenever I asked.
And he had a beautiful baritone voice.

Nat King Cole--Nature Boy

[Inchworm]

5. He sure is crooning to me

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.

*big sigh*

:hi:

6. Here is my favorite Sinatra

Just Close Your Eyes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkAa_ZTcfhw

____________________

Just close your eyes
Dream a lovely dream
As our arms entwine
Your lips on mine

Just close your eyes
Let your heart reveal
What you're thinking of
Please say it's love

Don't let this glow
Forever disappear
Let me always know
That you'll be near, dear

Just close your eyes
And perhaps you'll see
Where our future lies
When you re-open your eyes

Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning

And I love his vocals on this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZMQ07NBWp0
Frank Sinatra-Softly as I leave you

[Inchworm]

13. Loverly

I have been looking for one I heard a while back but can never seem to find it. Probably because I misheard the words (or heard them as I wanted to).

It is a song about a woman like so many are, but it compares her to a rose or a flower..

Slow tempo

Thats alls I got. Any ideas? :D

:)

16. Let me think about that one

American Beauty Rose?

Daisy is darling, iris is sweet
Lily is lovely, blossom’s a treat
Of all the sweethearts - a guy could meet
Well I finally chose an american beauty rose

Camelia’s tragic, she can’t be mine
Magnolia’s magic, it makes maggie shine
Laurel will hug you, orchid’s divine
Still I finally chose an american beauty rose

She’s clingier than ivy, and she’s zingier than black-eyed susan
And springier than mabel in june
I’m daffy as a daffodil, it’s laughable the way I thrill
When roses are in bloom

Pansy is pretty, willow is tall
Violet’s kisses, tulips (two lips) recall (violet’s kiss is tulip’s recall)
How can I choose one, I love ’em all
Still I finally chose an american beauty rose

[Inchworm]

9. Dean MArtin - My Rifle, my Pony and me

http://youtube.com/watch?v=l2OHR0F5GIo


(Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson in the movie Rio Bravo)



Transcribed by Petra Lehmann

Purple light in the canyons that's where I long to be
With my three good companions just my rifle, pony and me

Gonna hang my sombrero on the limb of a tree
Comin' home sweetheart darling just my rifle, pony and me

With the wind in the willow sings a sweet melody

Ridin' to Amarillo just my rifle, pony and me

No more cows to be ropin' no more strays will I see
Round the bend she'll be waitin' for my rifle, pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me

[Inchworm]

12. Loved that one

As it was playing I hoped Brenner(sp) would speak at the end.

He did.

Thanks!

14. The Crooner goes western with "I'm an old cowhand (from the Rio Grande)"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sqQa8LT7Ko

I'm an old cowhand (from the Rio Grande)

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I don't know how
Sure ain't a fixin to start in now
Yippie yi yo kayah

I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand
I'm a riding fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Yippie yi yo kayah

We're old cowhands from the Rio Grande
And we come to town just to hear the band
We know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bbout the big corral where the doggies go
We learned them all on the radio
Yippie yi yo kayah


I'm an old cowhand
Oh yes, Mr. Bing.
Too hot for you, Uncle Fudd?
Down from the Rio Grande
Oh where the west is wild all around the borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
and the Injuns run up a rug or two
and the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeah
Yippie yi yo kayah

I'm a pioneer who began from scratch
I don't bat an eye in a shootin' match.
They don't call me Elmer, they call me Satch.
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah

Get along little horsy
Get along little horsy
Yippie yi yo kayah, oh!

[Inchworm]

18. I got ragged in boot camp for looking like Bing

So I'd do a few "ba ba ba boos" for fun. :P

:hi:

[BrotherBuzz]

I'm not a Crosby fan but I love the song...

especially if it is sung by Dan Hicks' original Hot licks. For them gals, I'd do a couple of "ba ba ba boos" myself. ;)
