THE SIMPLE CHARM OF A GENTLER, MORE JOYFUL ERA REVEALED IN THIS POPULAR SONG FROM 1952. IT CAME OUT SHORTLY AFTER DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER BECAME OR PRESIDENT. WE WERE GRATEFUL FOR OUR MANY BLESSINGS THEN, AND STILL KNEW HOW TO HAVE GOOD CLEAN FUN.
Dance Me Loose
A little Dutch girl in Sheboygan
Wss perfect in English at School
But she’s excited or when she’s delighted
Her words get mixed up as a rule.
On Saturday night in Sheboygan
While dancing to waltzes they play
Even boys who can’t dance
Would all take a chance
Just to hear her say.
“I warm so easy so dance me loose,
Dance me loose dance me loose
I warm so easy so dance me loose
It shines so bright the moon.”
“Don’t hold my arms so extra out
Extra out extra out
Don’t hold my ams so extra out
It makes so good to spoon.”
The music played and played played
They whirled around the floor
The fellows stayed and stayed and stayed
To hear her say once more
“I warm so easy so dance me loose
Dance me loose, dance me lose
I warm so easy so dance me loose
It shines so bright the moon
And makes so good to spoon.”
~ Music by Lee Erwin
Sung by Arthur Godfrey
WE APPRECIATED BACH, HAYDN, MOZART, BEETHOVEN, an BRAHMS TOO, BUT UNDERSTOOD THE IMMENSE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SERIOUS and POPULAR MUSIC.
THOSE WERE WONDERFUL TIMES TO BE ALIVE, AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE JOY OF BEING AN AMERICAN WHEN THAT STILL MEANT SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT.

Okay, let me see if I'm getting this correct, everyone is all of a sudden worried about sexual assault but they somehow think it's a good idea for males and females to share the same locker rooms. Liberal ideas are a sure recipe for disaster.
ReplyDeleteYes, sure but what has that got to do with Dance Me Loose and the wholesome uncomplicated fun it represents?
DeleteYou don't tug on Superman's cape
ReplyDeleteYou don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Donald Trump
I agree, but I'd like to know what you think of Mance Me Loose and all it represents?
DeleteI love it! We need more whimsy.

tIME OUT FOR UNWELCOME NEWS:
ReplyDeleteNikki Haley Resigned as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
New York Times,
by Maggie Haberman
President Trump‘s ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki R. Haley, has resigned, leaving the White House with one less moderate Republican voice on his cabinet’s foreign policy team. Ms. Haley, a former governor of South Carolina, had been an early and frequent critic of Mr. Trump, so when he named her the envoy to the world body weeks after his election in November 2016, the appointment was seen as an olive branch. The daughter of immigrants from India, Ms. Haley favored free markets and global trade and earned international attention for speaking out against the Confederate battle flag in the ...

DeleteWatchdog Wants Investigation of Nikki Haley’s Private jet flights to SC
Post & Courier [Charleston, SC],
by Andy Shain
COLUMBIA — A federal government watchdog asked the State Department on Monday to investigate whether U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley broke any regulations by accepting seven flights on private jets from three South Carolina executives last year.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, also questioned how Haley values the flights on “luxury private aircraft,” most of which also included her husband, Michael.
The former South Carolina governor based the cost on first-class commercial airline tickets for the flights from New York to three South Carolina cities. Her total was $3,219. ..

YUP! IT'S GOTTA BE THE LEFTIST ATTACK MACHINE AT WORK HERE. WHERE HAS "CREW" BEEN VIS A VIS tHE CLNTONS AND NANNY POLLUTY'S EXCESSES TO SAY NOTHING OF BARRY AND MICHELLES ENDLESS LUXURY VACATIONS to {POSH RESORTS DURING THE OVOMIT REGIME?
Through to the early 70's we pretty much had love songs, or good clean American fun songs by people like the Beach Boys.
ReplyDeleteThe shit I hear coming over the airwaves when exposed to it in a restaurant for example is stunning.
You got that right, Kid. I either go to restaurants where they DON'T have "background insanity" or mostly I just stay home and eat Lean Cuisine. (;-o
DeleteI swear most of the popular music for the past several decades must appeal to people because listening to it is like 'banging your head with a hammer, it feels so good when you stop."

I think this man needs to never feel comfortable again. A little itching powder on his robes, poison ivy rubbed into his chair,smoke bombs whenever he arrives anywhere.Drones with just a small camera to record his every move. Sewage back ups,garbage not collected,slow downs to his power grid,whatever will cause that temper of his to flare. We need to get creative.

President Trump:
Now they’re talking about impeaching a brilliant jurist, a man that did nothing wrong, a man that was caught up in a hoax that was set up by the Democrats, using the Democrats lawyers… I think it’s an insult to the American public. And I think you’re going to see a lot of things happen on November 6th that you would not have seen happen before… The American public has seen this charade. Has seen this dishonesty by the Democrats… It was all made up… I mean the last one, take a look at the last one, the things they said about him. I don’t think he even heard of the words. It was all made up it was fabricated
Men don't have HYStERECTOMIES. Women DO.
DeleteThat's why WOMEN tend to be HYSTERICAL and MEN tend to be REASONABLE.
There IS a difference between the sexes.
That does no mean, however that a great mny men are not capable of being scheming, dishnest, sadistic, bullying bastards.
