03/27/14 - NNHS Newsletter - Hey There
“The pain of love is the
pain of being alive. |
|
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
| Today's song is brought to you directly by Rosemary Clooney, who delights in singing it in my ear each night just as I'm trying to fall asleep. Thanks for the lullabies, Rosie - I think...... |
BONUS - Hey There - Rosemary Clooney
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_There:
"Hey There" is a show tune from the musical play The Pajama Game, written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. It was published in 1954.
It was subsequently recorded by a number of artists. The recording by Rosemary Clooney reached #1 on Billboard's chart in 1954. Another version was also recorded about the same time by Sammy Davis, Jr., reaching #16 on Billboard's retail chart. The song (counting all recorded versions) also reached #1 on the Cash Box chart in 1954.
In the context of the show, Sid sings it to a recording device, telling himself that he's foolish to continue his advances to Babe. He plays the tape back, and after responding to his own comments, sings a duet with himself.

FINALLY:
| From
www.ajokeaday.com
- 03/26/14: God created the donkey and said to him: "You will work unceasingly from sunrise to sunset carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass, you will have no intelligence , and you will live 50 years. You will be a donkey." The donkey answered: “I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is too much. Give me only 20 years, please."
God granted his wish. The dog answered: "Master, to live 25 years is too much. Give me only 10 years, please." God granted his wish. God created the monkey and said to him, "You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks. You will be amusing and you will live 20 years. You will be a monkey." The monkey answered: "Master, to live 20 years is too much; give me only 10 years, please."
God granted his wish. Man responded: "I will be a man, but to live only 20 years is very little. Please give me the 30 years that the donkey refused, the 15 years that the dog did not want, and the 10 years the monkey refused.
God granted his wish. And since then, man
lives 20 years as a man, marries and spends 30 years like a donkey,
working and carrying all the burdens on his back. Then when his children
are gone, he lives 15 years like a dog, taking care of the house and
eating whatever is given to him, so that when he is old, he can retire
and live 10 years like a monkey, going from house to house, from one son
or daughter to another, doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren. |

Words and Music by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross for "The Pajama Game"
Recorded by Rosemary Clooney, 1954
Hey there
You with the stars in your eyes
Love's never made a fool of you
You used to be too wise.
Hey there
You on that high-flying cloud
Though he won't throw a crumb to you
You think someday he'll come to you.
Better forget him
Him with his nose in the air
He's got you dancing on a string
Break it and he won't care
Won't you take this advice
I hand you like a mother
Or are you not seeing things too clear?
Are you too much in love to hear?
Is it all going in one ear
And out the other?
(repeat last verse)
Hey There! Hey There!
Hey There!.......
