17 Dec 09 - 04:22 PM (#2790680) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sangarie From: pdq There is a song on a record called The Hillmen. The group was actually called The Golden State Boys at one time, but the record company that released the LP was trying to take advantage of the subsequent success of member Chris Hillman. The song is listed as Sangeree and is credited to good ol' "traditional". Actually, I'm rather certain that this song is only on the CD version, not the LP (1971 release, 1963-4 recording dates). |

17 Dec 09 - 05:05 PM (#2790724) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sangarie From: Q (Frank Staplin) "Sangaree" is a poem by Langston Hughes, and also a bluegrass piece, a song by Dunbar that has a line about sipping sangaree (sangria), and I think other songs, but they have nothing to do with "Ja-Da." Paul Laurence Dunbar (African-American poet): Verse in "Opportunity," 1901 Lemon pie an' ginger-cake, Let me set an' think- Vinegar an' sugar, too, That'll make a drink, Ef they's one thing that I loves Mos' pu'ticlahy, It is eatin' sweet things an' A-drinkin' Sangaree. |

19 Dec 09 - 12:47 PM (#2792080) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sangarie From: Q (Frank Staplin) Yes, Sangaree is the southern (U. S.) equivalent of sangria. But I can't find any song that combines 'yada' and 'sangarie'. |

19 Dec 09 - 01:25 PM (#2792106) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sangarie From: Jim Dixon Funny, I don't remember ever hearing of "sangaree" but I now see it is a well-known word. (I only noticed the similarity to "sangria" which I remember had a brief popularity in Minnesota in the 1970s. For a while, you could even buy sangria already bottled, though people usually mixed their own, as a kind of party punch, made from red wine and fruit juice. It was a fad for a while and then disappeared.) |

19 Dec 09 - 02:09 PM (#2792150) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sangarie From: Q (Frank Staplin) Sangria is still popular in hot summers in a few parts of the south, but I remember it from Spain, where a pitcher of chilled fruit juice with added wine was wonderful on a warm day. Everybody has their own variations, depending on available juice. |
