The Weekend Starts Here!

[AndyM]

some polite chit-chat regarding Amy Winehouse elsewhere on the forum

A refreshingly un-pusillanimous exchange of views, I thought.

Starting the weekend early. Who'd like to join me in doing the Underdog Backbeat?

There isn't enough South African sax jive on this forum or in this world. In order to redress this balance, I propose we start the weekend with "Staff Nurse" by West Nkosi. Once memorably described as "The elephants shaking their bottoms in the air song".

You may wish to shake your bottom to this song, that's very much up to you (not that I'm suggesting that you're an elephant, you understand)

Can we do crocodiles shaking their bottoms ?

Can we do humans shaking their tail-feathers?

Thanks Norman. A much covered song. Do you know this version? (I didn't until just now) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k51DfsedPKk

How better to start the weekend than with a Clyde McPhatter tune and a Groucho Marx quote

I'm Gonna Love You Til The Cows Come Home

"I could dance with you til the cows come home. better still I'll dance with the cows and you come home"

Thanks for the fine tunes Chris and Adam.

I'll be spending most of the weekend in the hospital as my daughter's having an operation.

Me? I've got the boogie Disease
