GUEST,Bman Origin: The Eyes of Texas (Are upon You) (25) RE: The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You 18 Dec 02


The first time I ever heard this song, it was in the movie "Giant", the one with Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean, where all of the adults at a cocktail party (as I remember it) sing it all dressed in evening clothes. I recall it being pretty surreal. I had always assumed it must be the Texas state anthem or something; you can always learn from Mudcat. I don't know about y'all, but I find it hard to take seriously any sort of anthem sung to the tune of I've Been Working on the Railroad. regards, Bman
