March 28th – Songs from the musicals – My Fair Lady – “Get me to the church on time”

The wedding season should be starting now. We’re thinking of everyone who has had their special day destroyed by COVID-19. And Happy Anniversary if today is ‘your’ day.  #singing;#feelgood

Get me to the church on time

29-3 Wedding Car

A few more hours, that’s all the time I got
A few more hours before I tie the knot
There’ll be drinks and girls all over the town
And I gotta track ’em down in just a few more hours

I’m gettin’ married in the morning
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, we’ll have a whopper
But get me to the church on time

I got to get there in the morning
Spruced up and lookin’ in my prime
Girls come and kiss me, say that you’ll miss me
But get me to the church on time

If I am dancing roll up the floor
If I am whistling right out the door

I got to get there in the morning
Ding, ding, dong, they’re gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus, don’t lose your compass
Get me to the church, get me to the church
Pete’s sake, get me to the church on time

If Im flyin’ then shoot me down
If Im wooin’ get the girl right out of town

I got to get there in the morning
Ding, ding, dong, they’re gonna chime
Punch me and jail me, stamp me and mail me
But get me to the church, get me to the church
Pete’s sakes, get me to the church on time
On time, on time, on time

29-3 My fair lady

March 27th – Eric Clapton marries model Pattie Boyd – “Layla”

In 1979, #EricClapton married #PattieBoyd.  Probably the greatest rock #guitarist of all time, he features on this song from #DerekAndTheDominoes  #Singing #Feelgood

Layla

27-3 Eric Clapton

What’ll you do when you get lonely
And nobody’s waiting by your side?
You’ve been running and hiding much too long.
You know it’s just your foolish pride.[Chorus:]
Layla, you’ve got me on my knees.
Layla, I’m begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won’t you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

[Chorus]

Let’s make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don’t say we’ll never find a way
And tell me all my love’s in vain.

[Chorus 2x]

27-3 Derek & the Dominoes Layla

Singing the Blues

26-3 Common Market map

Well, I never felt more like singing the blues
‘Cause I never thought
That I’d ever lose, your love dear
Why did you do me this wayWell, I never felt more like crying all night
‘Cause everything’s wrong
And nothing is right, without you
You got me singing the bluesWell, the moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone out from my mind
There’s nothing left for me to do
But cry-y-y over youWell, I never felt more like running away
But why should I go
‘Cause I couldn’t stay, without you
You got me singing the blues.[Instrumental]

I never felt more like singing the blues
‘Cause I never thought
That I’d ever lose, your love dear
Why did you do me this way

Well, I never felt more like crying all night
‘Cause everything’s wrong
And nothing is right, without you
You got me singing the blues

Well the moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone out from my mind
There’s nothing left for me to do
But cry-y-y over you

Well, I never felt more, like running away
But why should I go
‘Cause I couldn’t stay, without you
You got me singing the blues…

March 23rd – “Titanic” wins 11 Academy Awards – “My heart will go on”

In 1998 #Titanic won 11 #AcademyAwards.  Here is the theme song  #Singing #Feelgood

My heart will go on

23-3 Titanic

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you, go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we’re gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to.
In my life we’ll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You’re here, there’s nothing to fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

23-3 Celine Dion My heart will go on

November 30th – Folies Bergere open – “Cabaret”

In 1886, the #FoliesBergere opened in #Paris.  Here is #LizaMinnelli with #Cabaret #singing;#feelgood

Cabaret

  • What good is sitting alone
  • In your room?
  • Come hear the music play.
  • Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
  • Come to the Cabaret.
  • Put down the knitting,
  • The book and the broom.
  • Time for a holiday.
  • Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
  • Come to the Cabaret.
  • Come taste the wine,
  • COme hear the band.
  • Come blow a horn,
  • Start celebrating;
  • Right this way,
  • Your table’s waiting.
  • No use permitting
  • Some prophet of doom
  • To wipe every smile away.
  • Come hear the music play.
  • Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
  • Come to the Cabaret!
  • I used to have a girlfriend
  • Known as Elsie,
  • With whom I shared
  • Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
  • She wasn’t waht you’d call
  • A blushing flower…
  • As a matter of fact
  • She rented by the hour.
  • The day she died the neighbors
  • Came to snicker:
  • “Well, that’s what comes
  • From too much pills and liquor.”
  • But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
  • She was the happiest… corpse…
  • I’d ever seen.
  • I think of Elsie to this very day.
  • I remember how she’d turn to me and say:
  • “What good is sitting alone
  • In you room?
  • Come hear the music play.
  • Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
  • Come to the Cabaret.
  • Put down the knitting,
  • The book and the broom.
  • Time for a holiday.
  • Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
  • Come to the Cabaret.”
  • And as for me,
  • I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
  • When I go, I’m going like Elsie.
  • Start by admitting,
  • From cradle to tomb
  • Isn’t that a long a stay.
  • Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
  • Only a Cabarert, old chum
  • And I love a Cabaret.

In 1582 #Shakespeare married #AnneHathaway.  400 years later, the modern day actress of that name was born.  Here she is singing an appropriate song from her film #EllaEnchanted#singing;#feelgood

Don’t go breakin’ my heart

Don’t go breaking my heart
I couldn’t if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you’re not that kind
Don’t go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Honey when you knocked on my door
I gave you my key
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart
So don’t go breaking my heart
I won’t go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
And nobody told us
‘Cause nobody showed us
And now it’s up to us babe
I think we can make it

So don’t misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I’ve got your heart in my sights

28-11 Glee Dont go breaking my heart
