Bob Nolan of the "Sons of the Pioneers" also wrote "Cool Water" in addition to "Tumbling Tumbleweeds". Roy Rogers (Leonard Slye) also sang with the SOTP occasionally. Those were classic country songs! Hal
A fellow senior has turned me onto pages and threads like these. He thought folks might be interested in some of our work, which includes this chestnut from 1957, here reworked by my band, long-time Austin institution, Greezy Wheels. We hope it is not inappropriate to post it here.
Anything Goes (1934) Cole Porter "Many of the original lyrics included humorous references to figures of scandal and gossip from Depression-era high society." Some forgotten lyrics [Verse 2] When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her) Can get Russian reds to "yes" her Then I suppose Anything goes When Rockefeller still can hoard Enough money to let Max Gordon Produce his shows Anything goes [Bridge 2] If driving fast cars you like If low bars you like If old hymns you like If bare limbs you like If Mae West you like Or me undressed you like Why, nobody will oppose When ev'ry night the set that's smart is Intruding at nudist parties In studios Anything goes [Verse 3] When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction Instruct Anna Sten in diction Then Anna shows Anything goes When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up Now does a handspring landing up On her toes Anything goes [Outtro] Just think of those shocks you've got And those knocks you've got And those blues you've got From those news you've got And those pains you've got (If any brains you've got) From those little radios So Missus R., with all her trimmings Can broadcast abed from Simmons Cause Franklin knows Anything goes
Heeeeey... I use that for my Ethel Merman impersonation. (Also "There's No Business Like Show Business." ) Singing starts at 1:20...
Can you please make a recording for us? Ethel Merman owns No Business Like Show Business. I listened to many versions of this song, and she came in 3rd. After Ella Fitzgerald. I always liked this song.
Not to brag but I actually do an excellent Ethel. I've been doing it for years; my coworkers used to love it.
We dance to allot of beautiful older tunes, with (very little vocal) The music is sequenced as the ballroom dancing we do is NOT freestyle each dance has a name and a set of steps it’s called New Vogue ballroom Or old time Waltz’s. I will sing along with a tune while dancing however hubby wouldn’t have a clue what the words are to 99% of the music so ..he will say to me …..dose that tune have words. We are not religious ..however some church hymns that are recorded especially for dancing and NOT what I call mournful music make some of the best dance tunes my favourite is silent night
Of course not. Good stuff. Welcome to the forum. I just added all your stuff to my library from the Apple Music Store.
