Thread Name: Songs You Learned in the Service?
Subject: RE: SONGS YOU LEARNED IN THE SERVICE?
While my ex was in the Army, we performed music freqently at the nearby chapel. When we went to South Korea, I learned marvelous songs from singing with a local Korean city choir, and also from the radio & TV. My favs were the beautiful folk songs. During the service years, I also learned polkas while playing in a Polska Band. There are some which became favorites, and possibly my all-time fav is "The No Beer in Heaven Polka." It was all the more funny inasmuch as I never cared for beer whatsoever! I once had a retriever that would get up & dance & bark to that polka! And then I am quite partial to "Tiny Bubbles"--(Don Ho's words are a bit different, but he knows this parody too!): (everybody sing!) Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles) In my beer (in my beer) Make me feel happy (make me feel happy) Make me feel wierd (make me feel wierd) . . . I must admit, though, that the old song by Homer & Jethro about being in the Army was one of the best! ". . . and now I wonder who the heck is spending my allotment check?!"
