What if Frank Sinatra and Lisa Minnelli had sung "Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today, I want to be a part of it, Fort Worth, Fort Worth"?
What if BLM meant Baltimore Loves Macaroni?
It is mindboggling to think about.
When a nightingale sang in Barclay's Bank.
ReplyDeleteTasker, good one!
DeleteYou do have a good imagination! I feel like my dreams at night take place in an alternate universe. But it must be a different one from yours because I didn't hear those songs.
ReplyDeleteBibbuem I don't hear songs in my dreams, either, but the local always seems to be either a sunny beach town or an urban setting reminiscent of an old Soviet bloc country.
DeleteI can't add anything to this, I'm incapable of any creative thought right now but I have to say 13 makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteDon't ask me why it just does and I can tell you a laugh is a welcome thing in my day
Alphie
Alphie Soup, you have made it (my effort) all worthwhile.
Delete24 Hours From Camden, New Jersey
ReplyDeleteRachel, how could I have forgotten that one?
DeleteWell I know that Baltimore Met Area has a sizeable Italian population so one would expect them to love Marconi. I feel that I aught to be ashamed by the number of the songs I don't recognise. I know nothing about Fort Worth but at least I know where New York is!
ReplyDeleteGraham, did you see that you said Marconi instead of Macaroni? No matter, they are both Italian.
DeleteOur family moved to Texas when I was six, and it was to Fort Worth, the slightly smaller and western half of the the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, that we went.
I keep picturing Ronnie Howard singing Kansas City, Kansas. Everyone would have been soaking wet.
ReplyDeleteEmma, it was Helena, Montana that I considered first, but Kansas City, Kansas is much juicier, Ronnie-Howard-wise!
DeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteHow about Sharp Top instead of Rocky Top.
I was trying to think of a substitute for my old Kentucky home but definitely not politically correct these days
Kathy, "Muscle Shoals, Alabam" or "Cocoa Beach, Florida" fit the rhythm better.
DeleteYou are good! :)
DeleteOh, I was only twenty four hours from Canton
ReplyDeleteAh, only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you but I love somebody new, what can I do?
And I can never, never, never go home again.
Neil, taking your cue from Rachel these days?
DeleteLike Graham, I don't know the songs....or maybe I do but just have trouble with the new formats!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you think this stuff up
kylie, I will divulge the originals in my next post.
DeleteI don't know how I think this stuff up either. Maybe I'm just a product of our rotten culture.
I don't know them all either, and some I do would be just as good with the swap over because I don't know the difference between the places! I like number 20 the best, it tickled me. The Barclay's Bank comment is very funny too. I immediatley went abstract in my head with 'Is this the way to Armadillo?' by Tony Christie.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I know "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?" but not "Is This The Way To Amarillo?" (I am guessing you meant Amarillo, not Armadillo....)
