In fact, I have "Could You Be Loved?" in my head right now...can't imagine WHERE that came from...:eyes:

I know you couldn't have known, but that's one of those *all-you-have-to-do-is-mention-it-and-I'll-be-humming-it-for-the-next-week* kinda songs for me...;)

edit: Mr. Kleeb, Mr. Rebel...off to bed with ye, young'uns!!

6. The Russians and Germans were brutal to each other.
My brothers father-in law was in the Luftwaffe and was captured in 1945 by the Russians. He was freed in 1952.
John you should watch "Cross of Iron" directed by Sam Peckinpah,starring James Coburn. It's a great anti-war epic,one of those war movies that has the ring of truth to it.

18. It's a province in Western Canada.
Right between Manitoba and Albert,just north of North Dakota,and south of the Northwest Territories. 250,000 square miles,poplulation one million,so she's pretty sparse here.

22. Yes it is. Roughly the size of Texas,but no one here.
To me a big city is Calgary (700,000). And yes it does get -40 here. With wind chill -65,your skin will freeze in under a minute so bundle up when you come visit.

12. I...don't wanta a widdle bunny in my widdle row boat
In my widdle row boat in da pond.

Cuz da bunny might be crazy and he bite me in da foot.

In my widdle row boat in da pond.



That was the latest song that got stuck for awhile. It was on a CD that played as our group went up to the SOA vigil. I think it got into all of our heads.
It was a welcome light-hearted moment we had as a common touchstone on a heavy, serious weekend.

I don't know how many times 2 or more members of our small group sang that wonderously silly song.

20. The worst, really the worst ever is Leonard Cohen's....
FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT
Even Leonard Cohen did steal the melody in the refrain somewhere and can't remember where.
Don't listen to this song, it will kill your ears and make you forget about every war between.... , was there a war?


"It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?"
Dirk

21. Yes, always
The worst one is 'It's A Small World', the Disney tune. Bleh. If you're into Dave Barry, he has a book out about the worst songs (Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs); with a warning that most of these songs will echo through your brain for days. It's still hilariously funny.
