I took sips from your sweet lips and now I can't get free


Monday again.

Sometimes, when one is so rudely awakened with the prospect of another tedious week dealing with idiots to come, on a Tacky Music Monday only an old fave Scopitone starring doomed starlet Joi Lansing will do...

Have a good week, dear reader...

  2. Well, Fever, it's not. And Peggy Lee, she is not... but WOW. I love this. It's like Gilligan's Island set to music. Do have a better day, dear. Remember, walking around with a face that looks like one smells poo causes wrinkles to appear around the corners of our mouths! And heaven knows... there are better things to do with our mouths! Kizzes.

    1. Reminds me of a favourite anecdote:

      When George Melly first met Mick Jagger he asked Jagger what all the creases on his face were.

      “They’re laughter lines.” replied Jagger. To which George Melly retorted, “Nothing’s that funny.”

      PS "Gilligan's Island set to music" - surprised no-one ever adapted that series for a musical; everything else seems to have been!

  4. 'like a bird in a cage flapping it's wings in a rage' I had a Rosella that used to do that, pecked holes in my pencil pleat curtains.

  5. I'm not sure which is odder, her original "singing" or the haphazard lip synching.

    1. As Uptonking said, "She's no Peggy Lee".

      These old Scopitones were evidently made as cheaply as possible, so it's not really surprising it's all "out of sync". They probably shot and edited in a matter of days... Jx

  7. Well, thanks to you and that GIF, I have started my 2022 end-of-year awards/review already! That has to be one of the greatest GIFs I've ever seen (even better than last year's hard-hatted hottie, and on a par with Ms Scarlet popping out for milk)!

    1. And I didn't even make a mess of my "up-do" nor lose any jewellery while making it! 🤣
