I had a great birthday yesterday by doing almost nothing and watching a fun comedy with 2 of my dearest friends, Peter and Ron. They are brothers who do just about everything together. They have their own lives but they go on vacations together and do many fun events-today they will go to Niagara Falls and do some fun events since everything is half price this day. We watch, “Dodgeball”, a politically incorrect comedy, stupid but, I find, very funny. Peter did not like it…lol but, I think, Ron found it fun. Comedy is a hard one because not everyone likes the same thing. I like just bout every comedy style even the 3 Stooges. By the way, the deer picture was taken by my best friend, Loretta, who saw this outside her window. Ok, I digress, I am choosing songs about the wonderful month of June and I will join Monday Music Moves Me on Wednesday and here we go..,
1. MEMPHIS IN JUNE SUNG BY JULIE LONDON-1956
Julie created the album, “Calendar Girl” and I am enjoying all her songs and this one, written by Hoagy Carmichael and Paul Francis Webster, back in 1944, is special since it is bout the month of June.
2. JUNE COMES AROUND EVERY YEAR SUNG BY BING CROSBY-1944
This was written by the famous Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer and I always enjoy Der Bingle who sings this song with his usual flair.
3. JUNE IS BUSTIN’ OUT ALL OVER SUNG BY CLARAMAE TURNER AND BARBARA RUICK-1956
This is a great song by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein for the musical, “Carousel” that became a film starring Shirley Jones and Gordon MaCrea. He is a lout who marries a sweet gal who takes his crap. It takes place in June when the fair comes to town. The townsfolk with some special gals sing about this month. It’s fun and full of frolic.
What June songs can you think of?
Happy belated birthday to you. The first video isn't available in the United States (why do they do that?) but I will be able to find it on You Tube, hopefully. (I think I've heard it a time or two but that's it.) I didn't know the second song but I did know June is Busting Out All Over. I watched the Carousel movie with my late mother in law years ago and just vaguely remember it.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great birthday. I'm terrible with uncomfortable humor. If it's supposed to make you squirm, it makes me squirm and not laugh. (It's why I hate Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Birgit! 🥳🎈🎂👏
ReplyDeleteMemphis in June is the only one I recognize in your set, but I love the idea behind your music picks. Thanks for sharing and joining the party, darlin'. Have a boogietastic week! xo
Birgit I have been remiss in keeping up with responding to your posts (it's been a busy time!!) but I wish you the happiest of belated birthday wishes and hope yours was sensational!!
ReplyDeleteAll good song picks but "June is Bustin' Out All Over" is my fave of the three coming as it does from probably my favorite musical of them all "Carousel".
