Posted on September 29, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1758, #LordNelson was born.  And we all know where he ended up… #InTheNavy  #singing;#feelgood

In the Navy

Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports and skin dive
Study oceanography
Sign up for the big band
Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meet

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the mother land
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

If you like adventure
Don’t you wait to enter
The recruiting office fast
Don’t you hesitate
There is no need to wait
They’re signing up new seamen fast
Maybe you are too young
To join up today
Bout don’t you worry ’bout a thing
For I’m sure there will be
Always a good navy
Protecting the land and sea

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

Who me?

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

But, but, but, I’m afraid of water.
Hey, hey look
Man, I get seasick even watchin’ it on the TV!

They want you, they want you in the navy

Oh my goodness.
What am I gonna do in a submarine?

They want you, they want you in the navy

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand

September 28th – William the Conqueror invaded Britain – “Norman”

Posted on September 28, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In #1066, #WilliamTheConqueror invaded Britain.  Here is a song called #Norman by a lady called #SueThompson, that I didn’t know, but whose title fits well with the theme.  Its jolly – but never destined to be a classic!   #singing;#feelgood

Norman

Norman , ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Norman, Norman, my love

Jimmy called me on the phone but I was gone, not at home
Cuz I was out parked all alone with darlin? Norman
Bill invited me to a show but I said no, cannot go
There’s a dress that I’ve got to sew and wear for Norman

Norman holds me close to him, Norman kisses me and then
Norman knows my heart belongs to him and him and only him, oh

Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ohh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ohh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, Norman, my love

Joey asked me for a date, he wanted to take me out to skate
But I told Joey he would have to make ?rangements with Norman

Norman is my only love, Norman’s all I’m thinking of
Norman gives me all his lovin?, kissin?, huggin?, lovey-dovin?

Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Norman, Norman, my love

In 1964, the #Beachboys made their TV debut with “I get around”.  I know that there was lots of Beach Boys stuff over the Summer, but this was the best story I could find for today (and I know you like their music).  Enjoy!  #singing;#feelgood

And we’ve never missed yet with the girls we meet

None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn’t be right
To leave their best girl home on a Saturday night

I get around
Get around round round I get around
From town to town
Get around round round I get around

Get around round round I get around

September 26th – West Side Story opens – “I feel pretty”

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1957 #WestSideStory, the greatest musical by #Bernstein opened.  Here is a great song from it that we haven’t had before. #singing;#feelgood

I feel pretty

MARIA
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me tonight.

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It’s alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I’m real.

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I’m loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!

GIRLS
Have you met my good friend Maria,
The craziest girl on the block?
You’ll know her the minute you see her,
She’s the one who is in an advanced state of shock.

She thinks she’s in love.
She thinks she’s in Spain.
She isn’t in love,
She’s merely insane.

It must be the heat
Or some rare disease,
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it’s fleas.

Keep away from her,
Send for Chino!
This is not the
Maria we know!

Modest and pure,
Polite and refined,
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!

MARIA
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key.
A committee
Should be organized to honor me.

GIRLS
La la la la . . .

MARIA
I feel dizzy,
I feel sunny,
I feel fizzy and funny and fine,
And so pretty,
Miss America can just resign!

GIRLS
La la la la . . .

MARIA
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:

GIRLS
What mirror where?

MARIA
Who can that attractive girl be?

GIRLS
Which? What? Where? Whom?

MARIA
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

GIRLS
Such a pretty me!

ALL
I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I’m loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!

September 25th – Partridge Family debuts on US TV – “I think I love you”

Posted on September 25, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1970, the first episode of The #PartridgeFamily was aired.  Here for all you “girls” of a certain age, is their greatest hit, with #DavidCassidy  #singing;#feelgood

I think I love you

‘m sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps
Knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread

I think I love you
(I think I love you)

This morning, I woke up with this feeling
I didn’t know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I’d hide it to myself and never talk about it
And didn’t I go and shout it when you walked into my room

I think I love you
(I think I love you)

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of?
I’m afraid that I’m not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn’t that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say that I’ve never felt this way

I don’t know what I’m up against
I don’t know what it’s all about
I got so much to think about, hey

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of?
I’m afraid that I’m not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn’t that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say I’ve never felt this way

Believe me you really don’t have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say, Hey, go away, I will
But I think better still I better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case? Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me? I think I love you

I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you

25-9 Partridge Family I think I love you

Posted on September 24, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1948, #Honda motor company was founded.  As a bit of fun, here is #JasperCarrot with #FunkyMoped  #singing;#feelgood

Funky Moped

The lights were groovy colours,
The band was playin’ slow,
We danced just one dance together,
Then she said…
I’ve Gotta Go Now.
I brushed away a tear drop,
And followed her outside,
Where a long haired yob on a cycle was waiting to gi’e her a ride,
I’ll never forget, that freak she went with,
Tell him he’d better leave town,
Cos as soon as me moped’s front mud guard is fixed,
Gonna find the creep and put him down.
(Down Down)
When I get me moped out on the road I’m gonna ride ride ride,
When I get me moped out on the road I’m gonna ride ride ride,
When I get me moped out on the road, aint nobody gonna tell mee where to go no
When I get me moped out on the road I’m gonna ride ride ride.
(Funky Moped)
[Chorus]
Blue Funky Moped,
Blue Funky Moped,
Blue Funky Moped,
Blue Funky Moped,
Move move move move move funky moped go.
(Funky Moped)
When I’m on me moped rockin’ and a sockin’ I’ll ride ride ride,
When I’m on me moped rockin’ and a sockin’ I’ll ride ride ride,
When I’m on me moped rockin’ and a sockin’, everywhere I go the chicks are movin and a groovin

September 22nd – Hermans Hermits – “I’m into something good”

Posted on September 22, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1964, #HermansHermits got to No. 1 with I’m into something good #singing;#feelgood

I’m into something good

Woke up this morning feelin’ fine
There’s something special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighborhood, whoa yeah
Something tells me I’m into something good
(Something tells me I’m into something)

She’s the kind of girl who’s not too shy
And I can tell I’m her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
(She danced with me like I hoped she would)
Something tells me I’m into something good
(Something tells me I’m into something)

We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be fallin’ in love?
(She’s everything I’ve been dreamin’ of)
She’s everything I’ve been dreamin’ of

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn’t be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I’m into something good
(Something tells me I’m into something)
(Something tells me I’m into something, ahhh)

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn’t be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I’m into something good
(Something tells me I’m into something)
Something tells me I’m into something good
(Something tells me I’m into something)
To something good, oh yeah, something good
(Something tells me I’m into something)
To something good, something good, something good

September 21st – Monarchy abolished in France – “Whistle a happy tune “

Posted on September 21, 2013 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1792, the monarchy was abolished in France.  Tough one to find a song for so..  From the #KINGandI, here is a tune for the peasants in #Paris (although the lyrics make it more suitable for the royals! #singing;#feelgood

Whistle a Happy Tune

Whenever I feel afraid
I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune
So no one will suspect I’m afraid

While shivering in my shoes
I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune
And no one ever knows I’m afraid

The result of this deception
Is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people
I fear I fool myself as well

I whistle a happy tune
And every single time
The happiness in the tune
Convinces me that I’m not afraid

Make believe you’re brave
And the trick will take you far
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are

You may be as brave
As you make believe you are

While shivering in my shoes
I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune
And no one ever knows I’m afraid

The result of this deception
Is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people
I fear I fool myself as well

I whistle a happy tune
And every single time
The happiness in the tune
Convinces me that I’m not afraid

Make believe you’re brave
And the trick will take you far
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are
