Proud to be a crazy cat lady!
A British couple danced to "I've Been Everywhere!" last night. What an odd piece of synchronicity.
I've been finally defrosted by cassiesmom!

LOL,
That's funny...It's the "PT Way", You cruise thru life and something you read here makes you laugh and remember a thread.....
-----------
Cities-Talking Heads
Think of London, a small city
It's dark, dark in the daytime
The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to
CHORUS
I'm checking them out
I'm checking them out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points and bad points
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in.
There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham
A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
Look over there!...A dry ice factory
A good place to get some thinking done
Down El Paso way things get pretty spread out
People got no idea where in the world they are
They go up north and come back south
Still got no idea where in the world they are.
Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis
Home of Elvis and the ancient greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river.
"On the way to Cape May" (don't know who sings it)
"Wildwood Nights"
(the above two songs are probably only known by folks in the New Jersey/Philadelphia area as they refer to two populat seashore towns)
"I'm goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come"
"Point Me In The Direction of Albeuquerque" David Cassidy & The Partidge Family
"Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen from the movie Philadelphia
"Dancin' In The Streets"...it mentions several cities including Philadelphia, Baltimore & DC, can't forget Pomona City......and I can't think off the top of my head what other ones

LOL,
Tiny Dancer just came on the cable musis channel.
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
A few songs about my home town.
