| Cole Porter | |
Just listening to a Cole Porter collection, he starts "Lets do it(Lets fall in love)" with :- "Chinks do it, Japs do it...." What words are used nowadays if it's sung, surely not that? | |

Really? I thought it was "Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it"? | |

That's it, however young Cole doesnt sing that on the version I've got. Bloody Wainwright, got me spending a fortune on Itunes after I downloaded his Imix. --- Post edited by The_Lizards_Jumpers on 3/4 16:45 --- | |

When the little bluebird Who has never said a word Starts to sing Spring When the little bluebell At the bottom of the dell Starts to ring Ding dong Ding dong When the little blue clerk In the middle of his work Starts a tune to the moon up above It is nature that is all Simply telling us to fall in love And that's why birds do it, bees do it Even educated fleas do it Let's do it, let's fall in love Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it Even lazy jellyfish do it Let's do it, let's fall in love I've heard that lizards and frogs do it Layin' on a rock They say that roosters do it With a doodle and cock Some Argentines, without means do it I hear even Boston beans do it Let's do it, let's fall in love When the little bluebird Who has never said a word starts to sing Spring spring spring When the little bluebell At the bottom of the dell Starts to ring Ding ding ding When the little blue clerk In the middle of his work Starts a tune The most refined lady bugs do it When a gentleman calls Moths in your rugs they do it What's the use of moth balls The chimpanzees in the zoos do it, Some courageous kangaroos do it Let's do it, let's fall in love I'm sure sometimes on the sly you do it Maybe even you and I might do it Let's do it, let's fall in love Yer right there fw. | |

What version is that? Bizarre. Have you seen Delovely? I wanted to see it when it came out, but Gillandi stood me up and I forgot all about it until now. I'll have to hunt it out. | |

Not sure FW_2, it's on "Lets Misbehave - a Cole Porter collection 1927 - 1940". I havent heard of Delovely either. No Bandy, that's the best bit of wedding organisation choosing the songs. I'm not actually choosing songs, just exploring stuff of itunes. | |

We've met, remember? You were telling me fascinating tales about your collection of rare Bob Dylan B-sid.....zzzzz.... | |

| re: Cole Porter | |
surely my version can be adapted for Newcastle | |
| Capybara Posted on 3/4 16:54 | |
| re: Cole Porter | |
Sounds fascinating to me. Though, presumably, they came associated with A-sides as well. | |

Yes, I remember. Town Hall? fall, john cooper clarke? Gillandi having a bad hair day? Don't tell him he'll come round my house and bop me one. | |

| re: Cole Porter | |
Capybara meet Beerwulf. Beerwulf meet Capybara.  Time for me to go home now. Bye all. That's it Beerwulf. And if anyone's going to do the bopping, it'll be me - he owes me a trip to the flicks to see Delovely. --- Post edited by FW_2 on 3/4 16:57 --- | |

Cole Porter was partial to the odd 'near' version of his lyrics- this is his mucky 'You're the tops' You're the top You're Miss Pinkham's tonic You're the top You're a high colonic. You're the burning heat of a bridal suite in use You're the breasts of Venus You're King Kong's penis, You're self-abuse You're an arch In the Rome collection You're the starch In a groom's erection I'm an enuch who Has just been through an op, But if, Baby, I'm the bottom You're the top | |

Miss (Lillian) Pinkhams tonic was an infertility tonic and was also the inspiration for the Scaffold's 'Lily the Pink' | |
