Mơ Xuân
This one’s for all the ethnic Chinese Vietnamese in my Discord room, Saigon Soul Revival’s Mơ Xuân:
Quittin' Just Ain't My Schtick
The great Barry White with Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up … (Leo Rosten believed the Yiddish should be written sch- not sh- and I defer to Leo.)
Are Your Devoted Followers At Hand?
Just saw this at Glimmerglass… this is my favorite scene:
When the foeman bares his steel,
Tarantara! tarantara!
We uncomfortable feel,
Tarantara!
And we find the wisest thing,
Tarantara! tarantara!
Is to slap our chests and sing,
Tarantara!
For when threatened with emeutes,
Tarantara! tarantara!
And your heart is in your boots,
Tarantara!
There is nothing brings it round,
Like the trumpet’s martial sound,
Like the trumpet’s martial sound,
Tarantara! tarantara!
Go, ye heroes, go to glory,
Though you die in combat gory,
Ye shall live in song and story.
Go to immortality!
Go to death, and go to slaughter;
Die, and every Cornish daughter
With her tears your grave shall water.
Go, ye heroes, go and die!
Go, ye heroes, go and die!
Though to us it’s evident,
Tarantara! tarantara!
These attentions are well meant,
Tarantara!
Such expressions don’t appear,
Tarantara! tarantara!
Calculated men to cheer,
Tarantara!
Who are going to meet their fate
In a highly nervous state.
Tarantara! tarantara! tarantara!
Still to us it’s evident
These attentions are well meant.
Tarantara! tarantara! tarantara!
Go and do your best endeavour,
And before all links we sever,
We will say farewell for ever.
Go to glory and the grave!
Go to glory and the grave!
For your foes are fierce and ruthless,
False, unmerciful, and truthless;
Young and tender, old and toothless,
All in vain their mercy crave.
We observe too great a stress,
On the risks that on us press,
And of reference a lack
To our chance of coming back.
Still, perhaps it would be wise
Not to carp or criticise,
For it’s very evident
These attentions are well meant.
Baby, I Know Just How You Feel
The great Janis Joplin, this song give me chills every time, yowza.

Josephine Foster -- I'm a Dreamer
I like her voice … reminds me of Connie Converse. I guess the Spotify algo thought so too, thus the recommendation.
