Before I leave Fiddler ... remember "playing with matches, a girl can get burned":

Matchmaker - from Fiddler on the Roof

There'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.

I should've remembered this after Mufn's last post:

America - Simon & Garfunkel

Of 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 .

One more for the good ol' U S of A states...

America - Waylon Jennings

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.

J.Lo

I was just watching Billy Connolly's documentary about Route 66 when this came on:

'> Sussudio - Phil Collins

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 .

George Michael & Andrew Ridgeley.

Wham! - Last Christmas

Wham! - Last Christmas

That's two words Alex. You could've had:

Freedom - Wham!

This time Wham!'s the song, not the band, in this instrumental from the '60s:

I couldn't find a studio version of this song on YouTube, so I had to look elsewhere:

Dreamer - Supertramp

If the French site I found doesn't work, there is a reasonable live version on YouTube.

Hollywood - Alabama

Georgia - Boz Scaggs

(Ya reckin' Boz ended up in Hazzard at one point? This song almost fits... LOL)

I found myself listening to some old music at the weekend. Amongst the songs was this one from 1931:

Sally - Gracie Fields

Reckless - Alabama

I forgot this song when we did 'America' songs last week:

Here's one from one of the GREATEST bands ever...A tribute to both Dimebag Darrell and Kurt Cobain

I'm in an '80s mood today .

What a coincidence - this is from 1981, and it's my post #1981.

Bon Jovi!

And now a change of pace - a dance track from Finland:

Dolly Parton!
