Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I saw (or rather, heard)
this song the other day on DirecTV's Channel 802 -
Malt Shop Oldies and I thought
I'd use today.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45_8zWktVNE - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me - Mel Carter
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold_Me,_Thrill_Me,_Kiss_Me:
"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" is a popular song written by Harry Noble in 1952. It was a hit in 2 different decades and is considered a classic of the early Rock/Pop era. The original version was released by Karen Chandler in 1952, released by Coral Records as catalog number 60831. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on October 17, 1952 and lasted 18 weeks on the chart, peaking at #7. [1] It was her only charted hit. As was often the case with songs of that era, a version was recorded by British singer Muriel Smith and became a hit in Britain in 1953, reaching the Top 3. Shirley Bassey covered the song on her 1969 album Does Anybody Miss Me. The version most often heard today is the latter-day hit version recorded by Mel Carter, reaching #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the "Easy listening" chart in 1965. This version makes an appearance in the movie We Were Soldiers. The title was also used as the title for Gloria Estefan's 1994 album of covers, and was later referenced by U2's 1995 song "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me".

From Dallas News:
IRVING — More than 38 years of
football and entertainment memories came crashing down Sunday
morning when 11-year-old Casey Rogers pushed the button that set
off 2,715 pounds of dynamite, leveling Texas Stadium in less
than a minute. All that remained standing at the
Dallas Cowboys' former home after the implosion were three
buttresses at the southeast end of the stadium where the
implosion process started. Demolition officials said that the
columns were being held up by debris and would be easy to
demolish. Residents reported feeling the
blasts as far away as
Farmers Branch and Highland Park. The implosion was witnessed by
thousands of fans who parked in the stadium's Red Lot and lined
streets surrounding the stadium all its sides. Fans began
arriving for a chance to see the implosion late Saturday night,
and Irving officials opened the red lot 20 minutes early because
of the line to get in. Fans cheered as Casey, of
Terrell, pushed the button starting the demolition process.
Casey, who runs a charity that helps homeless people in Dallas,
won a national essay contest sponsored by
Kraft Foods. Kraft sponsored the implosion as part of its
marketing campaign for its "Cheddar Explosion" macaroni and
cheese product. "It was awesome," Casey said.
"Just watching it come down was different from my dreams. It's a
once in a lifetime chance." The demolition plan cost just
under $6 million. To be prepared for the implosion, the stadium
was stripped down to concrete and steel and the lower bowl
filled with dirt. It imploded in a domino fashion starting in
the southwest end zone, falling simultaneously along both
sidelines to finish in the northeast end zone. The roof with its
famous hole fell in over the stadium's footprint. The Cowboys won all five of their
Super Bowl titles while playing in Texas Stadium. They moved
to the new $1.2 billion
Cowboys Stadium in
Arlington last year. "Even in the dawn, (driving in)
we slowed down and took a real good look at it. You get a little
lump in your throat," said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who bought
the team and the stadium lease for $160 million in 1989. "It was
beautiful." Irving officials decided to raze
the stadium after it was determined there would be little use
for the structure. Officials want a high-end development there
in the future – perhaps something akin to Millennium Park in
Chicago. But for the next 10 years, it will be the staging area
for highway construction in the area. Just south of Highway 183, a few
families had set up tents by the street side on a little patch
of grass not already occupied. Shelly Garcia and her son Jordan
Garcia, 11, originally from Irving, had been there since 10 p.m.
They had left Austin the day before around noon. Jordan could
barely remember attending a Cowboys-Eagles game in 2005.
"It's sad, but cool," Jordan
said. "We've never seen anything implode before." Just after 5 a.m. on the west
side of the stadium, Larry Hoofard, 52, a dock man from Euless,
found a mound of dirt at a small construction site along Tom
Braniff for a front row seat. Hoofard said he sold popcorn in
the stadium when he was in high school, his prom was held in the
Stadium Club, and his high school graduation was on the stadium
floor. As the fireworks went off before
the implosion, he stood silently with his hands in his
sweatshirt pockets. He flinched a little when the dynamite
started to go off. He didn't cheer like the rest of the crowd,
and stood on the mound long after others left. "It was kind of scary. I didn't
know you were going to feel it," Hoofard said. He didn't take any pictures, but
he said, "I'll remember." Staff writers
Mark Norris and Avi Selk and the Associated Press
contributed to this report.

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me
Written by Harry Noble, 1952
Recorded by
Mel Carter
(b. 22 Apr 1943),
1965
Hold me, hold me,
Never let me go until you've told me, told me,
What I want to know and then just hold me, hold me
Make me tell you I'm in love with you.
Thrill me, thrill me,
Walk me down the lane where shadows will be, will be
Hiding lovers just the same as we'll be, we'll be,
When you make me tell you I love you.
They told me be sensible with your new love,
Don't be fooled thinking this is the last you'll find.
But they never stood in the dark with you love,
When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind
Kiss me, kiss me,
And when you do I'll know you that you will miss me, miss me,
If we ever say adieu so kiss me, kiss me,
Make me tell you I'm in love with you
