Name the song the line is from Part II

Roy Oberson adored her-- she toured w/ Tony Bennett..

shame on you all-- it's k.d lang's SO IT SHALL BE .

here then.. (grumble/kvitch and moan)

Knee deep in flowers will stray,
we'll keep the showers away.
And if I kiss you in the garden,
in the moonlight,
will you pardon me?
Tiptoe Through the Tulips. Great -- now I've got a picture of Tiny Tim and his ukulele in my mind, lol.

New lyrics:

"spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum"
(Ya gotta) Accent(uate) the Positive -- Cohn?

How wonderful is that song?
Love it.

Color and sky
brush and blue
Scarlet fleece changes you
Crimson ball sinks from view
Not Cahn- Johnny Mercer, of course. Once again, no idea about yours. And who can understand anything k.d. lang sings?

That’s “Wear your love like Heaven” by Donovan. It has always been a favorite of mine; accept when they used it for that commercial in the early 70s. I think it was for “Heaven Scent” cologne.

Let’s go from love to peace (title translated):

God of my want, want, want
Lord of my need, need, need
Leading me on, on, on
On to the woman,
she dance for the sun


Ain't no mistakin' a Neil Diamond song. That one's Soolaimon. At least it is if I spelled it correctly.


OK, disco era here. Hokey, I know, but I always liked this thing:

Blow horns, you sure sound pretty
Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action


I know that one, Jim. It’s “Turn the beat around” by Vicky Sue Robinson.

Here’s one from 1962:

When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's a kind of girl I'd like to meet


That's Hey Baby, by Bruce Channel. I think we had a discussion here once about the spelling of his last name, so I looked it up before I answered, lol. That's the way he spelled it. He just pronounced it differently.


Anyway, more early 60s:

Where they walk, and I'll walk
They twist, and I'll twist
They shimmy, and I'll shimmy
They fly, and I'll fly


Is that something like "The Hot California Sun?" I'm not sure.

Close enough, Sue. The title is just California Sun, although the lyrics do indeed make mention of the warm California sun.

You're up!
