STOLEN ahem I MEAN BORROWED FROM JACK
First of all, we are now on daylight savings and I don't know how to change my clock!!! So be a sport...subtract an hour. When it's right again I'll let you know. TX
A few days ago I went to check up on a new blogger friend of mine Jack's Shack...go visit when you have a moment, you won't be sorry: http://wwwjackbenimble.blogspot.com/
And he said that everyone should have their own song. He listed five for himself.
And I thought: "WHOA, I CAN DO THAT!"
Ha! Spent hours thinking of songs. Got it down to the following:
1.I'm Still Standing...Elton John;
2.Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In...The 5th Dimension;
3. Zorba the Greek...anyone;
4.Sunrise/Sunset,Fiddler on the Roof;
5. Splish Splash I was Having a Flash...i mean Taking a Bath
Somewhere in there are Yerushalayim Shel Zahav...Jerusalem of Gold...Naomi Shemer; California Dreaming...Mamas and Papas; Those Were the Days...Mary Hopkins; Mairzy Doats...The Pied Pipers; Chantilly Lace...The Big Bopper...AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON...
Theme Song from Exodus...
Songs. How quickly just a few notes and bars transport you back to some place in time where you were happy or sad in love or trying to mend a broken heart. But like a trusty old friend they stay with you for as long as you can remember them.
When I moved to Israel, there wasn't much I could take with me besides memories. Thus the list I have written above is from 'the good old days'.
OK. Your turn. What's your list of five?
Have a great day...stay safe...and thanks for dropping in.

" Ain't Misbehavin' "
" Things Ain't What They Used to Be "
" In a Sentimental Mood "
The Guv

1/Boney Maroney
2/Shayn vi di Levanah
3/An Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
4/On Top of Spagetti
and for good luck the all time favourite:
5/Yank My Doodle..i mean...Yankee Doodle (it's a dandy) :)))
Hi there !
My favorite song in english is
" La, la, la, la la, la, la,............."
In yidish is " Chiribim chiribom la,la, la..........".
In polish : " Trala,la,la,la, la......"
In russian " Tumbala, tumbala,tumbalalyka la, la la la...."
In hebrew " Yerushalaim shel zahav la, la, la, la la....."
In spanish " Besame, besame muchio, la, la, la,......"
In italian " Volare, oh, ho, la,la,la...."
I also knew some other songs in many other languages but i forgot the lyrics.
Anyway, maybe that's a blessing, because according to many in my audience, I sound better reciting my songs than singing them.
I love you
Stay safe and be happy ( Don't worry, be happy, la, la,la..")
Tamara
