Members LCK Posted October 9, 2015 Members Share Posted October 9, 2015 "The G.I. Jive," by Johnny Mercer. Hugely popular on jukeboxes and concert stages during World War II, this song took multiple rhymes to a whole new level. This is the G. I. Jive,man alive.It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille over your bedwhen you arrive.Jack, that's the G. I. Jive.Rootley-toot,jump in your suit,make a salute.Voot! After you wash and dress,more or less,you go get your breakfast in a beautiful little cafethey call "The Mess"Jack, when you convalesce.Outta your seat,into the street,make with the feetReet! If you're a P-V-T, your dutyis to salute to L-I-E-U-T.But if you brush the L-I-E-U-Tthe M-P makes you K-P on the Q-T This is the G. I. Jive,man alive.They give you a private tank that features a little device called"fluid drive."Jack, after you revive,chuck all your junkback in the trunk,fall on your bunkClunk! Soon you're countin' jeepsbut before you count to fiveSeems you're right back doin'that G. I. Jive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LCK Posted October 9, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2015 "Comin' in On a Wing and a Prayer," another popular song from World War II, written by Jimmy McHugh (music) and Harold Adamson (lyric). Ry Cooder's LP Boomer's Story (1972) was full of great songs like this one. This one has a Rhino vibe to it, what with the trombone and all...

Members rhino55 Posted October 9, 2015 Members Share Posted October 9, 2015 I love some Cooder. I watched the Keith Richards doc on netflix yesterday. It was interesting. There wasn't anything in it I didn't already know, but it was cool watching he and Stanley Jordan talk about what got them excited and hearing his band jam in the studio.

Members rickidoo Posted October 12, 2015 Members Share Posted October 12, 2015 I watched the movie Love and Mersey this week - brian wilson story. It focuses most on Wilsons struggle. Wow if that stuff is all true it just goes to show there are snakes everywhere and ya always got to be on the look out. I am referring to Wilson's shrink. The studio scenes by the younger wilson were excellent. Then and i found this video on you tube and wow of the real deal - what friggin talent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8rd53WuojE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
