Subject: RE: BS: Nothing From: quokka Date: 18 Jun 08 - 08:22 AM I can't believe no one has mentioned Colum Sands song in this thread! 'Whatever You Say, Say Nothing' Whatever you say, say nothing, when you talk about you know what For if you know who can hear you, you know what you'd get For they'd take you off to you know where For you wouldn't know how long So for you know who's sake Don't let anyone hear you singing this song That's only the first verse. Someone else might like to post the rest?!!! Please... I'm really tired and I've a cold coming on... in short, I want to do nothing for a while.........(sigh) |
Subject: RE: BS: Nothing From: GUEST,lox Date: 02 Jun 08 - 03:21 PM I'm trying to complete that sentence and having great difficulty. The context needs to be fairly ... erm... niche ...(?) and whatever the word starting with J is should really rhyme with the word that follows orange ... Anyway ... it ain't true about orange ... what about lozenge? |
Subject: RE: BS: Nothing From: Ebbie Date: 02 Jun 08 - 02:04 PM All is not lost, LH. Try rhyming with 'foreign' and then start the next word with 'g'- see? you've got it. :) |
Subject: RE: BS: Nothing From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Jun 08 - 01:37 PM Nothing rhymes with orange either. |
Subject: RE: BS: Nothing From: Georgiansilver Date: 02 Jun 08 - 02:47 AM Nothing rhymes with nothing.... But nothing else rhymes with nothing. So trying to write rhyme about nothing... Amounts to nothing. |
Subject: RE: BS: Nothing From: Ebbie Date: 02 Jun 08 - 02:29 AM "Nothin's movin', nothin's changin' But the river as she rolls on to the sea Nothin's changin', nothin's movin' I wonder if you ever think of me. Wait for me when the darkness is fallin' And the night steals the light from the day Wait for me if I've stumbled and fallen Wait for me if I lose my way" First verse and chorus of a song that Juneau, Alaska's Buddy Tabor wrote after the first time he played at Folsom Prison. Other than that, I know nothin'. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nothing From: Bill D Date: 27 May 08 - 05:25 PM real all about it! and sing about it... TALKIN' NOTHIN' BLUES Well, I looked up the hall to the top of the stair, I didn't see the man who wasn't there, There was lots of nothing, nothin' at all Lots o' nothin' all over the wall, A predominance of vacancy. There was a man on the corner, he was standin' around, He was spreading some nothin' all over the ground, I heard some passin' people say, All that nothin's in the way. There ought to be a law. I went to the cupboard, the cupboard was bare, Lots of nothin', nothin' was there, I turned around and I scratched my face, So darn much nothin' all over this place, In my pocket, In my wallet, In my icebox. I figured I'd better lay in a supply, So I went to the store some nothin' to buy, In the window I saw a big display, They've got lots o' nothin' on sale today, They got pans, bars, jars, crates, Boxes with no handles, All vacuum packed. Salesman said, he said, What'll it be? Well, I'll take nothin'--nothin' for me, How do ya want it---big or small, Short & skinny--fat or tall, I'll take some with bows on it. Wrap it up nice, you know, for a gift. This song was written with nothin' in mind, Nothin' at all of any kind, Nothin' at all in any respect.. We was aided by a poverty of intellect." |

Subject: RE: BS: Nothing From: BK Lick Date: 27 May 08 - 06:41 AM From Wikipedia: Artists that claimed to be influenced from or be playing the bluegrass genre were often bullied by Bill Monroe. He always considered himself the father and caretaker of bluegrass. He would often say of new bands that did not perform to his standards: "That ain't no part of nothin'." |

I wonder if you or anyone else on Mudcat have also been asked and answered that question ? If you have, you will know what I am talking about and you will never have forgotten that moment. If you haven't....I can't tell you what the question is. It would totally spoil the moment when you are asked it, because you now already have the answer. - jeanie |
