Free Spirits Rowing

Just a gigolo by Louis Prima, David Lee Roth and many others.

Yes Paul, well done.
We often sing along to the Louis Prima version at Christmas and Birthdays

Why??

Just a jolly song that my Dad loved and would get us all up singing and dancing …

Here’s an easy one (I think).

When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine

That's Amore!

Figured that wouldn’t last long! That song was written/recorded the year I was born. When the moon hits your eye…

Over to you!

Thank you, signore!

'Scusami, here is the next song:

"I saw a man, he danced with his wife"

Probably way off the mark but here goes:

Mr Bojangles - Neil Diamond

Correct Paul, way off the mark!

Mr. Bojangles (written by Jerry Jeff Walker, I believe) danced for you. Not sure if he had a wife, but he travelled about with his dog.

Thanks Peter - wrong dance partner(amongst other errors)

I think that’s another oldie. Signore Sinatra singing Chicago.

Perfect Paul.

Lately, the secret to picking songs that can be identified here is to pick really old songs!

Thanks Peter. I think you might be right.

Here’s a mixture of old and topical.

But nothing impressed me at all

Close, but no cigar!

This just came to mind. It might even be correct!

'Till There Was You.

Good guess. But no.

Here’s the next line.

Sorry, not Abba.

But there may be a connection (of sorts) between your guess and the title of the song.

Is it Dont' Cry For Me Argentina - Julie Covington?

Apologies if my post is a bit Messi

Indeed it is! I thought it appropriate to come up with a World Cup themed song.

Thanks Paul

One for you and Peter maybe?

"Harry Truman was our president
A Coke and burger cost you thirty cents"

I was born during the Truman presidency, but do not remember him!

I think a burger (with fries) and a coke was 75 cents when I was in Junior High School.

All that being said, no idea about a song with those lyrics. It does seem like something 1960's folk singers might have written, or perhaps Woody Guthrie.

Not folk , and not Woody Guthrie, I’m afraid, Peter
