Thread Name: Lyr Add: Lollipop (from The Chordettes)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Lollipop (Dixson and Ross)
Thanks for the missing line. My sloppiness.
SINS< of course it's folk. This timeless classic has entered every major language and inspired other versions, including "My Boy Lollipop" (hmmmm, I should add the lyrics). "Die lollipop melody" was popular in Germany. "My Girl Lollipop" a hit in Italy. I could add others, but I will refrain. These examples are sufficient.
"Lollipop" is used in Dell commercials. An obvious rhyming pair, 'laptop - lollipop' inspired their version.
Also listen to a changling, "If all the little raindrops were lemon drops and lollipops"- oh, superb rhyming; quickly entered kidfolk.
"My Girl Lollipop" the Italian bombshell:
Chorus:
La mia ragazza Lollipop, fate il mio cuore andare Giddy up,
È possible impostate il mio mondo in fiamme,
tu sei il mip unico deiderio,
Si la mia ragazza Lollipop.
"POP"
A prime example of modern folk!
