Subject: RE: last dance for me From: Snuffy Date: 08 Nov 05 - 08:33 AM Try here The Nancy Sinatra UK Fan Page. Funny, I'd never associated the song with her. Where are you at the moment, Betsy - one of those dead boring holes like Brazil or Azerbaijan? Or some exotic paradise like Billingham? |

Subject: RE: last dance for me From: Betsy Date: 08 Nov 05 - 04:30 PM Thanks Snuffy and Steve . I'm back in semi-tropical Teesside in between appointments-as they say !! Was very ill in Azerbaijan a couple a months ago and though I'm 99 %OK now, thought it best to "drop back" and regroup. Nice to hear from you both . Right, let me get printing.............. Cheers , Betsy. |

Subject: RE: last dance for me From: GUEST,Janice in transit Date: 09 Nov 05 - 12:51 PM When sung by a woman in the right environment, Save the Last Dance for Me becomes a kind of campy lesbian favorite. Please, no comments about singing it tongue-in-cheek, so to speak! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Save the Last Dance for Me From: Banjo-Flower Date: 09 Nov 05 - 06:26 PM Just to be pedantic is it "I will never never let you go" I always heard it as "I will never ever let you go" But then again I have been known to be wrong occasionaly (Ducking and running for cover) and then again I've been known to spell occassionally correctly too Gerry |

Subject: Lyr Add: GARDE LA DERNIÈRE DANSE POUR MOI From: Jim Dixon Date: 10 Nov 05 - 10:50 PM The songwriters were Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. And here's a French version from www.paroles.net : Dalida GARDE LA DERNIÈRE DANSE POUR MOI Paroles et Musique: D. Pomus, Mort Shuman, A. Salvet, F. Llenas, 1961 © Polygram ~ Barclay ~ Orlando Production Va danser Toutes les danses que tu veux Dans les bras de ceux Qui t'entraînent au loin Va sourire Des sourires merveilleux Pour les danseurs Qui te tiennent la main Mais n'oublie pas que ce sera toi Qui conduiras ce soir chez moi Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi Il y a Quelquefois des refrains Plus forts que le vin Qui vous tournent la tête Chante et rit Mais je t'en supplie Aucun danseur ne m'enlève ton cœur Et n'oublie pas que ce sera toi Qui conduiras ce soir chez moi Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi Comprends-moi chéri, je t'aime trop Et je n'ai plus qu'un désir C'est t'empêcher un jour de partir Notre amour est trop beau Va danser Si tu peux t'amuser J'attendrai le jour de ton retour Si quelqu'un Veut que tu l'accompagnes Jusqu'à la maison Dis-lui bien que non Car n'oublie pas que ce sera toi Qui conduiras ce soir chez moi Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi La, la, la,la,la,.. Oui n'oublie pas que c'est dans tes bras Que ce soir tu me serreras Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Save the Last Dance for Me From: Dave'sWife Date: 10 Nov 05 - 11:01 PM You all know the story behind this song right? Doc Pomus was at his wedding reception watching his lovely new Bride dancing with everyone but him. He couldn't dance with her because he had had polio as a child and walked on crutches with braces. He penned the lyrics to this song on a napkin while watching her and his family still has that napkin. He was saying to his new wife "Have a great time dear, but it will be me that takes you home' with all the implied sexuality you'd expect from a groom on his wedding night. lovely true story. I saw his daughter explain it on a PBS special about The Brill Building years. |
