Thread Name: Songs Your Mother Sang to You
Subject: RE: Songs Your Mother Sang to You
My mother loved musicals, and she used to sing Fred Astaire songs to me. Specifically, "Cheek to Cheek" and a song I remember (I think it was an Astaire song) that had a line that went something like this: In Si-be-ri-AH! Where the snow is so su-pe-RIOR! I can't find any references to this song, although it's pretty distinctive. If anyone's heard of it, I'd like to know... Please... She also sang Dean Martin songs and the entire soundtrack from Guys and Dolls (movie version). Her traditional repotoire (sp?) was pretty much limited to 'Billy Boy' and 'Waltzing Matilda.'
