Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Okay, I'll admit it. If Google hadn't headlined this today, I'd have missed this birthday celebration altogether.

HOMEWORK:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bunsen:
Sources disagree on Robert Bunsen's exact birth date. His parish register and a hand-written curriculum vitae support the claim that 30 March 1811 might be his true birth date,[2] while a majority of publications traditionally cite 31 March as the date.[3][4][5][6][7][8] |

Love Potion #9
Written by
Jerry Leiber
(b. April 25, 1933)
and
Mike Stoller
(b. 13 Mar 1933),
1959
Recorded by
The Clovers
I
took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
you know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
she's got a pad down on thirty-fourth and vine
sellin' little bottles of love potion number nine
I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956
she looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
she said what you need is love potion number nine
she bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
she said I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink
it smelled like turpentine, it looked like indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
but when I kissed a cop down on thirty-fourth and vine
he broke my little bottle of love potion number nine
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
but when I kissed a cop down on thirty-fourth and vine
he broke my little bottle of love potion number nine
love potion number nine
love potion number nine
love potion number nine
