LOL! Thank you for trying to help, Zoë. I don't remember hearing anybody sing that before. I definitely like Sally's version better.

Thank you, Diana!

Funny how different our background experiences are. "Guantanamera" is part of the soundtrack of my teenaged years... summer nights around a campfire, maybe on a Southern California beach, someone always played guitar and sang folk songs (lots of Joan Baez and Dylan, et al). Looking it up, it must have been the 1966 version by the Sandpipers that was popular on the radio during those years. We sang the Spanish lyrics.

No doubt. If everything was the same everywhere, there would be no reason to leave the house, and conversations would be too predictable to even bother.

Another 3 Dog Night song?

aahooooooo oooo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
aahooooooo oooo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Every one is yellow, every one is mine
I'm gonna grow a ba-na-na
Every one is yummy, every one is so fine
I'm gonna grow a ba-na-na

aahooooooo oooo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
aahooooooo oooo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
How does the light shine, on my rows of ba-na-na
How does the light shine, on my rows of ba-na-na

I installed a mister, and the flowers didn't die
I'm gonna grow a ba-na-na
I can smell another, of the flowers by my eyes
I'm gonna grow a ba-na-na

aahooooooo oooo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
aahooooooo oooo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now they are ripe fine, oh my rows of ba-na-nas
Now it is snack time, look at all my ba-na-nas

Can't grasp what song that one is based on...

The road to Shambala

Nice, Tiffany!

Think of your hungry man, make him a dessert man
Put a little plum in your tart
If you see he's gonna faint, please don't hesitate
Put a little plum in your tart
And dessert will have a sweeter taste
And the world will be a sweeter place
For you, and me, you just taste, and see

A flavored cake you buy, and still a pumpkin pie
Put a little yum in your tart
If peanut and chocolate go, so good together yo
Put a little rum in your tart
And dessert will make you tipsy-faced
And dessert will be more fun today
For you, and me, take a taste, and see

Put a little plum in your tart
Put a little rum in your tart

4 Non Blondes?

Twenty-five years and my splice is still
Tryin' to grow past the windowsill
With no, pests or infestation
Fertilized quickly when I knew I should
And the trunk is bent and is hard like wood
Oh man, my plant is phat but it leans

And so I spy sometimes, is it dying or dead?
With my watering spout, that lives by my bed
And why, is it feeling a little peculiar?
And so I wake in the morning and we step outside
And we take a deep breath, but shield from the light
And I, look at the top of my Brugs
What's going on?

There's buds there, yay yay yay I said yay yay yay
I said YAY, these buds are on

Meredith Brooks?

I hate to have to say
It's not good to see
A crow that's acting strange
Tried to pick two nuts and maybe
There's an olive underneath
Ripening and sweet

Yesterday I spied
A patch of raspberries to be in my new pie
I picked underhand while you were amused
My hand turned all blue
Picked a little bit of everything
Now I'm baking buns

I saw vetch in my clover
I've got wild weeds all over
After dinner I won't faint
And I grew nineteen plantains
They grew well
Like a dream
And currant in between
And so I couldn't grow it any other way

So stake three melons man
This and beans, you're gonna need a stronger plan
Rest the chard and when I start to do the harvest
Or when it's raining to extremes
Tomorrow it will change
And today we'll eat a thing

I saw vetch in my clover
I've got wild weeds all over
After dinner I won't faint
And I grew nineteen plantains
They grew well
Like a dream
And currant in between
And so I couldn't grow it any other way

Speaking of AL, I think there's a biopic coming out..?

Could be. I don't follow any entertainment news. I purposely try to avoid being exposed to what famous people are doing or thinking, except to watch their movies or listen to their songs. They don't care what I do or think, it's mutual.

I think Weird Al's movie is already out, but I haven't seen it.

You guys are working your brains with those songs, lol! Nice work.

Thank you, Vickie. : )

Nancy Sinatra

You keep sprayin'
Mist or something toward me
Soon you'll fall in love, I confess
You keep guessin'
If I'm teachin' you a lesson
Now something else is
Growin' like a pest

These roots are made for water
And sometimes they like dew
One of these ways these roots are gonna grow all over yew

You were dyin'
When no water was given
You keep using
Just another pot yet
You keep wavin'
In the wind while it's rainin'
Now the light is bright
But you ain't been burned yet

These shoots are made for stalkin'
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days
These shoots are gonna grow a flower too

You keep layin' where you shouldn't be splayin'
And you keep drinkin all the water I pour
Ha!
I just found me three new stalks and branches
And when they grow
I hope they look like ferns

These fruits are grown for noshin'
And that's just what we'll do
One of these days these fruits are gonna make a smoothie too

Should we make some soups? Start choppin'!

omg, Tiffany! I was singing right along with that one! Well done!

Thank you very much! I realized how many words rhyme with boots & the song kind of wrote itself. It doesn't make any sense, but I don't set the bar that high.

Roots boots and it took off from there I think

That's a fun one!

Helarious…👏👏👏
