Delta Dawn, what's that flower you've got on? Could it be a

[saltpoint]

faded rose of days gone by?

And did I hear you say he was meeting you here today to take you to that mansion in the sky?

[DevonRex]

You are so mean. I do NOT want that song runnin' 'round my

brain today.

You light up my life. You give me hope...to carry on. Take THAT you delta dawn person! :)

[saltpoint]

3. LOL!

[AngryOldDem]

34. I don't know about you....

But my heart will go on.

[saltpoint]

37. LOL!

[DevonRex]

38. I keep wishin Celine was on the prow of that ship and fell in. :)

[saltpoint]

40. Where's that ticking crocodile when we need him, anyway?

[Divernan]

50. This song will put Delta Dawn AND You Light Up My Life out of your heads.

This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because...This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend.

[mamalone]

53. ACK!

My kids used to sing that song in the backseat of the car.... Everytime they started I determined that I would ignore it until they tired of it themselves. And every single time, I'd manage about 5 mins top...

That song is truly an instrument of torture.

Thanks for the memories;)

[Arugula Latte]

67. Hey lady , you lady

Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
you're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I have no doubt
you dream about the things you never do
but I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I'VE NEVER BEEN TO MEEEEEEE!

"In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn.
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
But a man of low degree stood by her side,
and he promised he would take her for his bride."

Good morning, Old Crusoe,

Thank you for appearing in the DU Sunday morning edition of Confess your Sins and Cleanse Your Soul.

We are all ears, Old Crusoe, hit it ....

[saltpoint]

7. If only I could get this damned ukelele tuned!

Hi, Sam. Good morning.

[dchill]

41. "She's 41 and her daddy still calls her 'baby'"...

"All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man..."

Sheer poetry!

5. This old Democrat supported McGovern with enthusiasm.

[DevonRex]

8. Jesus Effin' Christ. I was singing Delta Dawn while I did my

dishes. Looks like I'm gonna have to bring out the big guns now.

Havin' my baby. What a wonderful way to say you love me. You're havin' my baby. What a lovely way to say what you're thinkin' of me.

Heh heh.

[saltpoint]

9. NO!!! Not 'Havin My Baby' ! Not that! Anything but that! I beg you!

[DevonRex]

10. And I haf others to torture you wit if needed..... :) nt

[saltpoint]

11. Unspeakable cruelty! "Havin' My Baby" is an Alberto Gonzales talking point!

Or singing point.

Whatever.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

12. As the ice shelfs (shelves?) melt they may decide to change the

lyrics to Delta's gone, where'd that tide come from you're on?? or some such blather, heh

[saltpoint]

13. - - - -

:thumbsup:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

17. I am going to have to get that book, that sig is just too good to

let alone... great idea for a thread btw :) I've been stuck on a Lionel Richie song for several weeks now and Delta Dawn is a welcome diversion. I kid of course.

[saltpoint]

20. Lionel Richie. I heard his tune "All Night Long" in the grocery store, and

was thinking he had a really exceptional chorus on that one but the verses just don't hold up musically at all.

If he had collaborated with one more person to shore up the composition in those verses, I think he would have had even more success with it.

"I kid of course." LOL!

[K Gardner]

14. Take this, OC: Feelings.. nothin' more than feelins'.. trying to forget my...

FEELINGS OF LOVE !!

My day is ruined. Ruined I tell you ! :nuke:

[K Gardner]

15. And this for good measure - McArthur's Park is melting in the dark.. all the sweet green icing

flowing down.. someone left a cake out in the rain..

GAHHHHHH

[saltpoint]

18. I wonder if that cake out in the rain was the yellow cake Joe Wilson

went over to look for but couldn't put his hands on.

Those Bush Republicans didn't like ol' Joe's report upon return and went nuclear on his wife.

K Gardner, I haven't heard "McArthur Park" for a while. That's the last sentence I'm typing before the Haldol kicks in.

[DevonRex]

29. Why the hell was there a cake out in the rain anyway? Waste of

a good cake if you ask me...

[saltpoint]

33. Mark Penn thought if you already had the cake, it would naturally

walk itself back into the fridge for safe-keeping.

[Arugula Latte]

68. And the worst part of it is ...

I'll never have that recipe agaaaaaaaaaaaain! :cry:

[saltpoint]

16. LOL!

Whoops -- I shouldn't laugh.

"Feelings" is Harriet Miers' favorite song, and I'd hate to hurt her uh, feelings.

Say. Where has ol' Harriet got off to, anyway?

[DevonRex]

24. OMG. I believe I must have MADE myself forget that song. Oooh.

That's a bad one.

Thank you, though, because now I can use that as ammo next time. :)

[dchill]

19. Welcome, one and all - to the DU Sunday Morning...

Earworm Club!

:toast:

[DevonRex]

36. Earworm is a fitting term for it, huh? nt

[dchill]

39. Oh, yes.

OHHHhhhhh, yes.

[EFerrari]

58. I DARE you to watch the video in #54.

lol

What else do you know about me?

:hi:

[EFerrari]

62. LOL! I missed that!

:hi:

[Tribetime]

21. how about " Why can't you just get it through your head

it's over it's over now. Yes you heard me clearly now I said it's over it's over now.

[saltpoint]

23. Yep -- or even "Kiss Me Goodbye," by the luminous Petula Clark, speaker

of many languages and cosmopolitan diva extraordinarie.

"That boy is / your tomorrow
I belong to yesterday..."

--go the lyrics.

[Samantha]

66. All the rainbows in the sky, start to weep then say goodbye

Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you any more

Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you any more
It's over

It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh, what will you do
When she says to you
There's someone new
We're through, we're through
It's over, it's over, it's over

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows any more

Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all, that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all

It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

Roy Orbison - his music will never end ....

[LWolf]

22. Hey, wontcha play another

somebody done somebody wrong song?

[DevonRex]

26. Dammit. You asked for it now. Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the

old oak tree. It's been three long years...

[LWolf]

45. I listened to that one LIVE once.

:scared:

I was a teenager with free tickets to the taping of some variety show that Tony Orlando and Dawn appeared on, (or hosted?)


That's okay. I've got one more for ya.

I think I'll go back and post it to the OP, so as many people can express dismay as possible.

:evilgrin:

[DevonRex]

47. Oh, you ARE evil aren't you? And you actually survived that

TO&D event. You must be tough as nails. :)

[saltpoint]

27. LOL! I had BURIED that song in the Deep Archive Tank and now

here you go dredging it up again!

[blogslut]

25. Bette Midler kicks that song's ass

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ObouJCBiV1I

[saltpoint]

30. Have to admit, the Divine Miss M brings justice to it.

She finds a secret narrative in it (IMO) beyond the songwriters's own limits.

Damn straight.

[merh]

44. Wow, I love her version

But the video makes me think "Bette, what is that outfit you have on!?!"

Did we really dress that way :rofl:

[blogslut]

51. Late 70's

I remember the fleeting dalliances with overalls, knickers and funny boots. It was a freaky time. :)

[janx]

28. This thread is killing me !!!!

:rofl:

[AngryOldDem]

31. Yeah....

...with all the relatively crappy songs that I'll now have running through my head all day.

"She's 41 and her Daddy still calls her Baby...
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy.
'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Waiting for a mysterious dark-haired man."

I had the Helen Reddy version of it on LP.

35. Mo Udall? I loved him too, but he's like, you know, dead.

[liberaldem4ever]

42. I heard Tanya Tucker sing that when she was like 15

and I was a little girl at our local rodeo the Santa Rosa Roundup in Vernon, Texas. Everybody thought it was such a big deal that she was coming to town and we loved that song. Thanks for bringing back a nice memory. :hi:

43. - - - -

:hi: :dem:

[LWolf]

46. "Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"

It is amazing how long a song can stay part of you. I wonder if they'll someday find the songs of youth embedded in someone's dna?

[DevonRex]

48. AAAACKKK! ARRRGH! BLEGH!!! :) nt

[TwilightGardener]

49. AHHH! I forgot that cheesy song! Thanks for nothing.

[AngryOldDem]

52. Hey, that was the Bubblegum Set's antiwar anthem....

...don't diss it.

:D

[LWolf]

57. I was one of the bubblegum set, lol.

Probably why I remember it. ;)

[EFerrari]

54. They say a man should always dress for the job that he wants

So why'm I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant?
It's all because some hacker stole my identity
Now I'm in here every evening serving chowder and ice tea!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=zMXv0__CYSU

:rofl:

[whistler162]

63. Okay for that one....

you should be beyond tombstoned... at least Papa John's or Dominoed maybe even Pizza Hut'd.

"The cuckoo bird in the pickle tree the funniest bird that you ever did see."

which is the flip side of "It's a Womans World". I do wonder if some record producer was makeing a comment on male/female relations?

[EFerrari]

65. If eating a granite cookie will make it stop, I 'll take it!

:rofl:

[Ichingcarpenter]

55. Geez, Every time I see this thread that damn song gets stuck in my head

I had the hots for Helen Reddy back then.

Now, Why don't you just "Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)"
and have that song get stuck in your head?

[Eurobabe]

56. Thanks for the earworm.

:eyes:

:rofl:

[jillan]

59. Back at ya - I was listening to Leon Russell yesterday...

Yeah, I'm aging myself :)

And it made me think of Obama supporters on gd-p

I'm up on a tightrope..one side's hate and one side's hope.

61. Total Eclipse of the Heart

Turn around bright eyes.

[EFerrari]

64. Sittin' at a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant

She was staring at her coffee cup
He was trying to keep his courage up by buying booze
The talk was small when they talked at all
They both knew what they wanted
There was no need to talk about it
They were old enough to know about it, to keep it loose.

I never really did this kinda thing before, have you?
Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous. . .
