HossC Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 Before I leave Fiddler ... remember "playing with matches, a girl can get burned":Matchmaker - from Fiddler on the RoofThere's some great lines in this song:Hodel, oh Hodel, Have I made a match for you!He's handsome, he's young! Alright, he's 62. But he's a nice man, a good catch, true?True.I promise you'll be happy,And even if you're not,There's more to life than that---Don't ask me what.Chava, I found him.Won't you be a lucky bride!He's handsome, he's tall,That is from side to side.But he's a nice man, a good catch, right?Right.You heard he has a temper.He'll beat you every night,But only when he's sober,So you'll alright.I LOVE Fiddler on the Roof, one of my favorite musicals. In fact, I just watched that video last week. Saw an excellent dinner theater version in Washington, DC in 1988.I've already mentioned this in Musical Chairs, but I saw Topol reprise his role of Tevye in the 1994 production at the London Palladium.

HossC Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 I should've remembered this after Mufn's last post:America - Simon & GarfunkelOf course, there are a couple of other well known songs from West Side Story with a one word titles, but I'll leave them for Mufn . Quote
MaryAnne Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 One more for the good ol' U S of A states... America - Waylon Jennings Quote
HossC Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 If we're doing 'America' songs: I also found that I had of the one that Mufn posted from West Side Story. It's by The Nice, a band featuring Keith Emerson just before his days in ELP. Quote
HossC Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 I was just watching Billy Connolly's documentary about Route 66 when this came on: Quote
HossC Posted December 8, 2011 Author Posted December 8, 2011 I'm only posting this because there's a current commercial with a similar tune: I may be getting old, but I haven't turned into yet . Quote
Alex-Dukes Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 George Michael & Andrew Ridgeley. Wham! - Last Christmas Quote
HossC Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 Wham! - Last ChristmasThat's two words Alex. You could've had:Freedom - Wham! Quote
HossC Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 This time Wham!'s the song, not the band, in this instrumental from the '60s: Quote
HossC Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 I couldn't find a studio version of this song on YouTube, so I had to look elsewhere:Dreamer - SupertrampIf the French site I found doesn't work, there is a reasonable live version on YouTube. Quote
MaryAnne Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Georgia - Boz Scaggs(Ya reckin' Boz ended up in Hazzard at one point? This song almost fits... LOL) Quote
HossC Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 I found myself listening to some old music at the weekend. Amongst the songs was this one from 1931:Sally - Gracie Fields Quote
HossC Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 I forgot this song when we did 'America' songs last week: Quote

HossC Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 I'm in an '80s mood today . What a coincidence - this is from 1981, and it's my post #1981. Quote
HossC Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 And now a change of pace - a dance track from Finland: Quote
