Buy em right here! C'mon get em while 'er hot!" "Hey Mr. vendor man?" "Yesir?" "What are those tickets for?" "Real life, m'friend! You won't find anything like it in the universe!" "Can I have three?" "That'll be 75 dollars.... thank you VERY much! Have a nice day now.... (as he watches him go off, smiling)..... sucker" ~Barky |

Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 21 Mar 00 - 12:04 AM Amen brothah. Where do you hear it? |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 21 Mar 00 - 12:02 AM Yes, I know, Barky. I hear it 10 million times a day myself, and only wish I never had to again! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 20 Mar 00 - 11:55 PM hoot? here's a good one: fuggadid. As in, "DAT FUGGADID WHAT?????!!!" Yes, I hear that quite often in school. |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 20 Mar 00 - 11:12 PM HA HA! No, a bondole is someone with no respect! Other fun words "cavone" "sporcaccone" "scuddigadele" "futtamene" "chooch"....weeee! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 20 Mar 00 - 11:04 PM *Oh god*.... Hey Mbo? What are bondoles? Is it because it's selodnob backwards *BG*? ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 20 Mar 00 - 10:43 PM Barky I NEVER thought of that before! No...stunod is and old Italian dialect word that my Italian great-grandparents used to say. It's kind of a family tradition to carry it on. It basically means the same thing as CRS, going senile, losing your memory (ALL ALONE IN THE MOOONLIGHT...) etc etc. There are other words too..but noone seemed much interested in them. Buncha bondoles! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 20 Mar 00 - 09:55 PM Do I have to explain THAT to you, too?? Jeez, that's all I ever do these days! Well, dad, Do you rememmmmberrrr doin' the Tiime Waaaaarp?..." That's why you didn't think of that. ~Barky the person who doesn't make any sense anymore |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Amos Date: 20 Mar 00 - 09:46 PM That's great man!! "Donuts" backwards!!! Why didn't I THINK of that.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 20 Mar 00 - 09:45 PM "BY GEORGE, I THINK I'VE GOT IT!" Yes folks, the UNBELIEVABLE Barky has done it again! She's cracked the code solved the case... been cool again! Stunod, as our friend Mbo so eloquently writes, is Donuts backwards! you may know the term, "I'm going nuts!". I believe that Nuts is short for Donuts! So tell me Mbo... have I solved your little mystery? Huh? Huh? Have I, have I? ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Amos Date: 20 Mar 00 - 09:38 PM It's an Mbo word, darlin' ... he uses it often but refuses to define it...if you can persuade him to give up the secret of it, his Power shal be YOUUURS!!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 20 Mar 00 - 09:26 PM Stunod? What's that, Mbo? ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 20 Mar 00 - 08:50 PM Jellice Ball his GREAT lyrics "Jellince cats come out tonight, Jellicle cats come one come all, the Jellicle moon is shining bright, Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball!" Darn! I made a mistake up there! The second "rapt concentration" should be "profound meditation." I'm going stunod already! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 20 Mar 00 - 08:11 PM Ok, Ok. You got me. I don't know a thing about Cats. Haven't even heard any of the songs, except Jellicle Ball, which I played in marching band last year, so even then, I didn't hear the lyrics. ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 20 Mar 00 - 07:22 PM Barky...well...I CAN'T ARGHHH!!! Sorry, I love The Phantom of the Opera, but I'm much more well versed in Cats, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Les Miserables. Here's my off the track re-challenge! The naming of Cats is a difficult matter, it isn't just one of your holiday games. You amy think at first I'm as mad as a hatter when I tell you a cat must have 3 different names. First of all, there's the name that the family uses daily, such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James....um...DARN! George or Bill Bailey, but all of them sensible everyday names. There are fancier names, if you think they sound sweeter, some for the gentlemen, some for the dames, such as Plato, Demeter, Electra, and Admetus, but all of them sensible everyday names. But above and beyond there's still one name left over, and that is the name which you never will guess. The name that no human research can discover, but the cat himself knows and never forgets! When you see that a cat's in rapt concentration, the reason I tell you, is always the same! His mind is engaged in a rapt concentration on the thought, on THE THOUGH, on THE THOUGHT of his name...his effable, ineffable, efanineffable, deep, and inscrutable, singular name name name name... --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 20 Mar 00 - 06:55 PM That's nice dad... Anyway, Mbo. (Just kidding dad! You know I love ya!)
(One of Phantom's letters to Andre and Firmin):
Beat that for memorization! =0) (There's a challenge for ya! ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Amos Date: 20 Mar 00 - 01:34 PM Barky settled on "The Rose" with her own trumpet track improv'd in the background. I've sent it to Max for his consideration. |

Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 19 Mar 00 - 10:05 PM Raoul was a dork! The Tartar was COOL though! Have you read the original book by Gaston Leroux? A TOAD, MADAME? PERHAPS IT IS YOU WHO IS THE TOAD! "SERAPHIMO, AWAY WITH THIS PRETENSE! YOU CANNOT SPEAK BUT KISS ME IN MY HUSBAND'S >>BRAAAAACK!!!!<< HEh HEh HEh HEh... --Mbo (hold your hand at the level of your eyes!) |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 19 Mar 00 - 09:54 PM Damn you! You little prying Pandora! You little demon - is this what you wanted to see?
Curse you! You little lying Delilah! You little viper! Now you cannot ever be free!
Damn you.... ~Barky (Who doesn't aim this at anyone, just thinks it's a cool outburst on the Phantom's part, and who is glad Mbo isn't an IDIOT like Raoul and is actually LISTENING to Madame Guiry!) |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 19 Mar 00 - 06:22 PM YOU WILL CURSE THE DAY YOU DID NOT DO ALL THAT THE PHANTOM ASKED OF YOU!!! IF THESE DEMANDS ARE NOT MET, A DISASTER BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION WILL OCCUR!!!! GO!!!! --Mbo (who's NOT sitting in Box 5 tonight! Madame Guiry told me not to!) |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 19 Mar 00 - 04:02 PM The prologue to a bright new year
Quite a night! I'm impressed!
Well, one does one's best...
Here's to us!
I must say, all the same, it's a shame that Phantom fellow isn't here!

Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 19 Mar 00 - 01:46 AM Good Lord! 4 times! I've never seen it...but I'd sure like to! Dear Andre, what a splendid party... --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 19 Mar 00 - 01:29 AM I can tell you any part in that musical you want me to! I can almost recite the whole dern thing from memory! I've only seen it four times, though. ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 18 Mar 00 - 09:15 PM Um....I think Amos meant Wild Mountain Thyme! But please, if you sing it, add this verse in! I have it in the version I sing, and for me it's the best part of the whole sone. Oh the Autumn time is coming And the leaves will soon be falling And all the flowers of the summer Will soon wither on the mountain Will ye go, lassie, go? --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 18 Mar 00 - 09:02 PM What is, dad? The Constipation Blues? ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Amos Date: 18 Mar 00 - 08:32 PM I can teach it to you if you want Barky -- it's even more beautiful than Greensleeves. |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 18 Mar 00 - 08:25 PM You're welcome! So am I! Here's one fer you Barky: Prima donna, first lady of the stage Your devotees are on their knees to implore you Can you bow out when they're calling your name? Think of how they all adore you... --Mbo (bum bum bum bum BUUUUUUUUUUM!)

Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 18 Mar 00 - 12:25 PM Mbo: How did you know my obsession with The Phantom? I am head over heels in love with it. Thank you for making my day! (again) ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 17 Mar 00 - 11:13 PM SING, MY ANGEL OF MUSIC!! SING FOR ME! --Mbo (really THE PHANTOM OF THE MUDCAT) |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Crowhugger Date: 17 Mar 00 - 11:02 PM Barky, Do you know "Constipation Blues?" Not heard on the radio quite enough. A few words and a lot of grunting to 12-bar blues. A little comic delivery and you're a star. Caution: this advice is certaily worth what you paid for it! But seriously, if you're dead nervous, go with something that's a no-brainer for you, and sing it with all your heart. Make sure to have a copy of the lyrics in large print, 16 point or so, in case your nerves give you a brain fade. Practise a few times with the lyrics in front of you if you're used to doing it from memory. If you're having trouble identifying that no-brainer song, here's a little "let's pretend" to help you get on track. Let's pretend that now, RIGHT NOW, while you're reading this, in walks the musician or producer of your dreams with a request for you to audition for them RIGHT NOW. Don't think, man, just sing and sing well -- you want that dream job, don't you? That song'll probably work for you on the radio. Another option: get a vocalist. If you're in the Toronto area, I'll do it. No kidding. The only condition is that since we've never played together before, eye contact must be available during the song. Even Buffalo, since I have friends in St Cath who'll surely put me up to cut down the driving time. |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 17 Mar 00 - 10:58 PM Barky lass, just WHAT are you insinuating?! They lyrics are here! Cheers! --Mbo (Good thing you weren't in the Mudcat Tavern last night!) |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 17 Mar 00 - 10:48 PM Hmmm... sounds familiar.. What're the lyrics? ~Bare-ky (just for this St. Paddy's day! *Mischievous Grin*) |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 17 Mar 00 - 08:51 PM Barky, do you know Wild Mountain Thyme? Or is that difficult as well? --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Barky Date: 17 Mar 00 - 08:40 PM What the sad thing about those two songs really is, Joe, is that NEITHER of them consist of really just one note. Johnny One-Note starts out "Poor Johnny one-note" going down in a kind-of jazzish scale. Oh well. Although One-Note Samba does start on F and stays on F for a long time, then switches to Bb for a long time then changes more..... ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Mar 00 - 04:23 PM How 'bout "One-Note Samba"? "Poor Johnny One-Note"? -Joe Offer, sometimes similarly challenged- |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: jeffp Date: 17 Mar 00 - 04:18 PM You're right, Mbo. That would probably be a lot of fun. I'm wrapping things up at work right now, so if you want to start one, I'll add to it sometime tomorrow from home. If you haven't started one by then, I'll start it myself. We'll be heading out tonight to celebrate St. Patricks day and so I won't be online. All the best. jeffp |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 17 Mar 00 - 03:47 PM Whoa, Jeff, that sounds like a good idea for a new thread! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: jeffp Date: 17 Mar 00 - 03:22 PM What jumps into your head when you're walking down the street or just passing time? What songs do you sing absent-mindedly while your doing other things? Those would be good places to start. Whatever you sing, sing it with love and passion and you'll be just fine. jeffp |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 17 Mar 00 - 03:13 PM Greensleeves is a great song and a great tune. If you want another set of words which are sung to the tune try OH SHEPHERD, OH SHEPHERD
The important thing is to sing what you know and feel comfortable with, and that is saying something you feel like saying. Have a picture in your mind. |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: Mbo Date: 17 Mar 00 - 01:49 PM That's OK Barkarino, I can't figure out what most of the lyrics are anyway! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: MMario Date: 17 Mar 00 - 01:39 PM ps...take him up on his offer! |
Subject: RE: BS: Song help... From: MMario Date: 17 Mar 00 - 01:33 PM and barky gets caught again.....gotta luv this place.... |
