Happy birthday Keanu Reeves, 60 today! Time's a terrible thing...
Oh shit. Here we go again...
After a really pleasant weekend - warm sunshine, a meet-up with the Madam's cousin and his family on a rare vist to London on Saturday night, a bit of pottering in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - wham! We're back to work, and it's a Tacky Music Monday once more!
Here's something that is almost certain to wake you up out of your stupor, dear reader - even if it's only to switch it off, while screaming:
Vodka for breakfast? No, ta. I'll have gin.
Have a good week, dears.
[* "Se polkka taas menneitä mieleen tuo" = "This polka reminds me of the past" in Finnish]
Yep - pass the vodka, and the gin!! Reminds me of the Follyfoot theme tune [horsey kids programme in the 70s].

"Blow, blow, the Lightning Tree!" I remember it well. Although there was a lot less vodka drinking in that, as I recall. Jx
DeleteI will take your 'taas menneitä mieleen tuo'
ReplyDeleteand raise it to
"Ratsatsaa ja ripidabi dilla
Beritstan dillan dellan doo
A baribbattaa baribbariiba
Ribiribi distan dellan doo
Ja barillas dillan deia dooa
Daba daba daba daba daba duvja vuu"
Holly Dolly "Dolly Song" ( ieva's polka )
I would love to hear the Swingle Singers version of that !
DeleteI immediately thought of Holly Dolly when I heard this! Jx
DeleteWhat a bizarre video. Would you like ham with that vodka? I had forgotten about the Swingle Singers, so I just went looking for them. I listened to one song and remembered why I had forgotten about them!
ReplyDeleteThe Swingle Singers were bewilderingly popular in the 1970s - and are still going! An acquired taste... Jx
DeleteNow I know why I prefer to go fishing alone! Ha! :)
ReplyDeleteAlone - with a bottle of vodka? Jx
DeleteThose noisy people would scare all the good fish away and I would not mind being alone with a bottle of vodka, though I do prefer rum.
DeleteHolly Dolly passed me by. I wish I could the same of the god-awful bloody Swingles!
ReplyDeleteHolly Dolly was a novelty that we discovered while on holiday in Spain many years ago, and thought was hilarious!
DeleteThe Swingles, however, were a novelty when they first arrived half a century ago, but I can't help wondering who's buying their records these days? Jx
