Love both versions but better with Dean Martin's sleepy/sexy voice.
ReplyDeleteThe original from days gone by was an innocent tune from innocent days gone by.
Another storm in a teacup
Ain't it just. Nothing is safe these days.
DeleteLive life, enjoy and have the nous to take care of yourself. I got along ok with that. This me too stuff is for no fun no humour frumps of the world. Let that they find men who deliver what they want. They might just not.
ReplyDeleteI envisage a time when couples will need to sign a pre-snog agreement; in triplicate, of course.
DeleteI think they already do that in Sweden.
DeleteHeard that on Radio 4 the other morning and thought " good grief what a fuss about nothing"
ReplyDeleteSome people spend their time looking for something to moan about. Ridiculous.
DeleteIt's open to interpretation, isn't it? It can be seen as predatory on his part, but I prefer to think she wants to stay just as much as he wants her to stay and it's a struggle with morals of the day rather than each other.
ReplyDeleteI just see it as a nice song about a couple at a party. He wants to stay; she doesn't.
DeleteI'm a lumberjack and I'm ok
ReplyDeleteI sleep all night and I work all day

Here the word has gone apesh_t.
For example we have no more football spectators, but football spectators and spectatoresses. Or no more radio listeners but radio listeners and listeneresses. And you can't have number 18 on your car number plate because people might think you're a right wing fascist ... and so the political correctness goes on ad nauseum.
I tried to leave a comment on Salvador Dali's excellent essay on the art of far_ing (passing wind) but I was knocked back with big yellow B for use the common parlance.
DeleteIt makes me despair. I suppose I come from a different, more innocent age. We didn't even see anything 'racist' in 'eeny meeny miny mo'.
DeleteI don't know how our Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst gets away with it. I mean Rise like a Phoenix. Come on.
DeleteThat's nothing compared to Maurice Chevalier's 'Thank Heavens for Little Girls'...
ReplyDeleteMy late father always referred to him as a 'dirty old man'.
DeleteBloody ridiculous !!!!! I’m sure that when the lyrics were written in the 1940’s, there were no hidden , sordid connotations attached !!! ..... and , on a different but similar note, what about new music that has ‘ explicit ‘ written on it ...... that’s deemed as OK as long as you put ‘ explicit ‘ ?!!!! It’s all getting ridiculous. XXXX
ReplyDeleteOne set of standards for the PC brigade, another for everyone else.
DeleteI wonder how the old music hall song:"Keep your hand on your ha'penny", would go down today?
ReplyDeleteTom Jones's 'Delilah' is ready to be banned. "I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more". Topical too.
DeleteCrazy. I love that song, especially the Dean Martin version.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a good song, from a good film.
DeleteI just find myself bewildered by this kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteLuckily these uber-PC people are VERY thin on the ground.
DeleteI like that song! To hell with political correctness and the "me too" BS too!
ReplyDeleteHallelujah.
