apparently the translator thought "Jean" was "gens".

[sl8]

7. Funny you should ask.

Was just thinking about how I hadn't heard this recently:

Friday I'm In Love
The Cure

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate

I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday
I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

17. Tom Lehrer!

I grew up listening to That Was the Year That Was. I got everything else he ever recorded later in life.

Just in case chumpy gets in a snit and punches in the numbers, here's a song to sing:

By the way, the funniest line ever in a song is in Lehrer's National Brotherhood Week. It's a bit too controversial to post here, but one may find it on YouTube.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[TenHouseCats]

40. oh, yes, everything from that was the year that was!

[Brother Buzz]

22. She Can't Find Her Keys (1962) - Paul Petersen

29. About five years ago

On Facebook, I posted a different Christmas song video from YouTube everyday. Mainly funny ones. In my search for some fresh stuff, I found the following. I just thought about it last night and brought it up on my phone while in bed.

The funny thing is the response videos to it by, "Christians," who take the melody and put in new lyrics about, "Yeah, you're having a good time now, but you'll be burning in hell for all eternity."

32. Badfinger - Name of the Game

"Name Of The Game"

I saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye
I said, "Would you go much faster if you thought that you would die?"
He said, "Not me sir, I could not care, in fact, I would not try.
For protest would not take me far.
It's different, me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar until another day

Oh, comfort me, dear brother, won't you tell me what you know?
For somewhere in this painful world is a place where I can go
Oh, long awaiting mother, is it time to make a show?
And take your babies to your breast
No, we never passed the test
And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on

[CHORUS:]
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game

I got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun
I said, "You can see quite clearly, now, the things that we have done
We burned your sacred willow and our battles we have won.
But did we get so very far?
It's different, me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar until we go away

[CHORUS x2]

[Binkie The Clown]

another great Guess Who earworm. this one a bit odder than most.

(Randy Bachman has a great weekly program, Vinyl Tap on CBC Radio: this link goes to the basic info with times and channels:
[link:http://www.cbcmusic.ca/programs/randybachmansvinyltap|. Some of his stories of that time, especially the on-the-road ones, are way too funny for those who were on the same path. Many secrets revealed.
this link is for the schedules on those days/channels: [link:http://www.cbc.ca/radio/schedule.html| schedule doesn't display well on my monitor, but i just scroll down to the show name...

wasn't into much beyond grass back then--i was no fun, i fell right over, so that's not the excuse for my loving this song.

47. (Glad you didn't find it!)

Personally, I always thought that was a ridiculous song. Hope you don't think about it again for a LO-O-O-ONG time!
(but that's just my humble worthless opinion. As long as you vote Democratic, I won't hold your silly musical tastes against you! . )

[llmart]

59. Actually, I agree with you.

What the hell do the lyrics mean anyway? Don't answer that.

58. The Supremes -- Come See About Me.

An early Motown hit, possibly mostly in Detroit. I wouldn't know about it's hit status outside Detroit since I was just entering 10th grade at the time.

The garage behind Hitsville, USA was where all these songs were recorded. That was the Motown sound. When they moved away from West Grand Blvd in Detroit, Motown sagged. When they moved to CA, they died. There was something about that garage. Oh boy, was it ever!

[rurallib]
