It's A Beautiful Day....
Sometimes words don't come easy...
Have you ever held a converstion with someone using only the lines from song lyrics?...
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright
Now if you want to take some pictures of the fascinating witches who put the scintilating stiches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus...
...you're too late! Because they've just... passed... by!
Ha! These guys are good. I've not spoken to anyone using song lyrics; but I have sung out songs when they fit the conversation every now and then.
Yesterday, someone asked about the whereabouts of our coworker, Josie, who's on vacation overseas. I couldn't help singing, "Josie's on a vacation far away! Come around and talk it over."
And I was joined by another coworker and it turned into a duet, "So many things that I want to say You know I like my girls a little bit older.
I just wanna use your love tonight. I don't wanna lose your love tonight."
Ah, the things we do at work to relieve stress when the pressure is up. It's either do something crazy and laugh or just get overwhelmed and frustrated. I'd rather laugh.
Welcome Back. I had read that you and Mr Boxer talk in movie lines occasionally and thought that this might appeal. I have a BIL that makes statements that can be quite odd until you realise that he's reciting the lines from the song playing on the radio in the background.. Like in the middle of helping to move a pile of bricks.(he is a brick layer) will say things like "Have I told you lately that I love you?" ... Get's me laughing every time...
Dear MJ,
I'd be more that glad to. But you realise that sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much and I have to close my eyes and hide..because... you light up my life...you're the wind beneath my wings...I wan't to be loved by you... yes you...and only you... I want to be loved by you alone... boop boopy do...
Dear Mitzi,
Well tie me Kangaroo down sport! Your a Rolf Fan...Who would have Guessed...
Hi Eros,
I remember going to a restaurant years a go where there was a little old man that would wonder around to the various tables with his Piano Accordian asking people their name and then would break into a song that would either include their name or subtitute it for another... the Empresses friend ended up with "the rain in spain falls mainly on Lorraine" you get the picture...
They call me naughty Leni The wisest girl on earth At home my typewriter It works for all it's worth The boys all love my writing I can't keep them away So my little keyboard keeps working night and day
They're coming to take me away, Haha, they're coming to take me away, Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha, To the funny farm!

ReplyDeleteThe lunatics are taking over the asylum...
Mr. Boxer and I often speak in movie quotes, but it's not as funny as this.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely weekend Princess!
My headphones aren't working.
ReplyDeleteWhich was fine for Hayward's video clip as it had subtitles.
Could you come over at happy hour and act this one out for me?
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight

Humour does make work easier to cope with...
"the rain in spain falls mainly on Lorraine" ! That's fun indeed!
ReplyDeleteI bet the guy with the piano accordion would have played 'Leni in the sky with diamonds', or 'They call me naughty Leni' for me, hahah.
Really, life is much better with a bit of music on the background. Even if it's just the titles, these guys made me laugh!
Ich bin die fesche Leni
ReplyDeleteThey call me naughty Leni
The wisest girl on earth
At home my typewriter
It works for all it's worth
The boys all love my writing I can't keep them away
So my little keyboard keeps working night and day
Dance, it's all I wanna do
ReplyDeleteSo, won't you dance?
I'm standing here with you
Why won't you move?
I know I am!
