Happy Hump Day and Happy first day of astronomicalSpring! To celebrate, I’m sharing Songs about Spring.
I begin with Ella Fitzgerald’s version of Rogers and Hart’s Spring Is Here.*
This was originally from the 1938 stage musical I Married an Angel, which became a 1942 film of the same name. As I observed at Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 56, “I never get too far away from movie music,” a tendency I’ll indulge later in this post.
The next song is Lou Rawls Spring Again.
He talks about young love. That’s a theme of the next song, Spring Fever by Elvis Presley from the movie “Girl Happy.”
As I wrote above, “I never get too far away from movie music.”
Once again, I’m concluding the diary proper by quoting Don Durito.
For those of you wondering how I and Neon Vincent are circumventing Sucuri to embed videos, here is an example of the embed code we use, so that you can replicate as wanted:
Just remember that each unique 11-digit video code in YouTube needs to be pasted in two separate locations within the embed code in order for your video to show up properly. So easy that I can do it!
With those instructions, feel free to post your favorite music videos in the comments.
*There are radically different versions by Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, Peter Nero, Frank Sinatra, and Carly Simon. I’ll post those some other time. After all, I’m an environmentalist; I not only recycle my ideas, I conserve my resources.
