26 Sep 07 - 01:52 PM (#2157848) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Music Box Dancer' From: Dave'sWife What an odd coinicidence - I was recently putting toegther a CD for my young nephew (age 3 years) and included this song as well as Frank Mills' one other "hit" Peter Piper, which is very similar. When I saw the title of this thread, I assumed it a=was a mudcat joke - you know - Lyric Req for an instrumental song? Anyway - if anyone should care, you can get both Music Box Dancer and Peter Piper on iTunes. however, be sure to play the samples because Mills did a few rerecordings for later "Greatest Hits" rereleases and they are full onf synth crap background. Yes, these are those tinny sounding piano hits from the mid 70s if anyone was wondering. Not nearly as good as Floyd Cramer's Last Date, but along the same lines I guess. I must confess, I have Floyd Cramer's Greatest Hits in my CD Collection! |

Both he and the song have gained international fame, so I archived it simply because people were asking about it and couldn't find it. Now they can. :) Here is the Frank Mills official biography: http://www.frankmills.com/bio.html |

26 Sep 07 - 04:44 PM (#2158012) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Music Box Dancer' From: Rabbi-Sol I think that there are more than one set of lyrics for this song. Yesterday I received a midi-karaoke of this song done by Bunty Pritchard Jones of the UK. Her lyrics are entirely different from the ones posted here. I can not send this file on mudcat but I will gladly send it by e-mail to anyone who sends me a PM. I will be off the board from now until 9 PM Saturday night in celebration of the Succos (Tabernacles) holiday. So to anyone who wants this file, you will have to wait until Saturday night for me to send it. SOL |

We can now conclude that there is only one set of lyrics for this song, those that were written by Norman Pollack in 1981. SOL |
