14 Jun 01 - 03:14 PM (#483482) Subject: Looking for names of some songs... Help! From: GUEST,davidVA I am looking for the titles and if possible artists who recorded the following songs. I have searched this database and others for these and have had no success: 1. The first song is a song that I heard in a movie (not sure what movie) and from the sound of it I would say it was a tune from the 40s or 50s. Not 50s pop rock though, seemed more like jazz/big band. Female vocalist, lyrics that went something like "way down in Birmingham, way down in Alabam, yeah yeah..." That's all I really know about it. 2. The next song is a song that I most recently heard in the season finale of that tv-show "Ed." Also a female vocalist, sounds like a 50s or 60s love ballad, and the lyrics contain the phrase "in clover." If anyone can shed some light on either of these, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks ahead of time! |

Never heard of a tv show called "Ed" and "in clover" is precious slim to go on -- can you remember any more? Wish I could help more. Alex |

AT LAST At last My love has come along My lonely days over And life is like a song At last The skies above are blue Well my heart was wrapped up in clover The night I looked at you I found a dream That I could speak to A dream that I could call my own I found a thrill To press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Well You smile You smile Oh and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine at last I found a dream That I could speak to A dream that I Could call my own I found a thrill To press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Well You smile You smile Oh and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine at last You are mine You are mine At last At last At last At last regards, Yvonne |

And the computer is not the issue. It's spending time with my family, working in the garden, playing my guitar. I have no time for TV. Alex |

From: LR Mole My only suggestions are "In Your Easter Bonnet", which features the line, "I'll be all in clover," and Tommy James and the Shondells' "Crimson and Clover" (I suppose someone might think Tommy sounded like a female; I thought Wayne Newton did on "Danke Schoen") |

I also live in a valley where I get 1 (one) and only one TV channel, which most of the time is not worth watching anyhow. Is there an east west timewarp or something going on ? |
