The Joys of Aging

by Michael
Sixty's Hits Are Being Revised..

Some of the artists of the 60 ' s are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers who can remember doing the "Limbo" as if it were yesterday.  Seems as though I know them all!
They include:

Mrs. Brown, You ' ve Got a Lovely Walker
Ringo Starr ---
I Get By With A Little Help From Depends
The Bee Gees -- -
How Can You Mend A Broken Hip?
Roberta Flack---
The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face
Johnny Nash ---
I Can ' t See Clearly Now.
Paul Simon---
Fifty Ways To Lose Your Liver
The Commodores ---
Once, Twice, Three Times To The Bathroom
Procol Harem---
A Whiter Shade Of Hair?
Leo Sayer --- 
You Make Me Feel Like Napping
The Temptations ---  
Papa '  Got A Kidney Stone
Abba---
Denture Queen 
Tony Orlando ---
Knock 3 Times On The Ceiling If You Hear Me Fall
Helen Reddy ---
I Am Woman, Hear Me Snore
Leslie Gore---
It ' s My Procedure, and I ' ll Cry If I Want To
And Last but NOT least...

Willie Nelson ---
On the Commode Again

    poo Michael, those were very funny. Didn't you know it's tacky to be first on your own blog? That is the standard rule, I read it right in the handbook that YOU issued to me when my application was approved...by YOU. uhumm...

    Michael, I was surprised at how many of those titles I knew, since I wasn't born in the 60's. :)

    Have a great day everyone!

    When I said "poo" I meant it because I didn't get first... then switched to another thougth about how funny those were and then back to teasing Michael about being first...so as not to confuse anyone or to confuse you further. :)

    I was basically disgruntled because I just missed first so therefore, I went on the attack and had to be a little aggressive in my teasing Michael about being first. I didn't even mention about him speaking spanish! :) he he Love ya Michael.. you know I was teasing, I hope.

    Before I say "Good Morning" I just have to say that I have not read most of area 51. I came back to the blog after checking my farms to see jokes about Our Queen. Now I don't think most of Americans realize the strong connection that English Canadians, and I think particularly in Victoria, that we have with Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the Royal Family. We DON'T make jokes or laugh at jokes about Our Queen. "And that is all I am going to say about that" Quote from Forest Gump.

    Good Morning Michael. I love your blog today. I know all of those songs, at least the original titles, and I love them. They bring back such happy memories.

  13. TinkaJune 9, 2011 at 11:26 AM

    Good Morning Bebbi - I always love to see your happy beautiful face in the morning. Since you both blogged in at 9:39 I do believe you were tied with first. (I guess I should delete that and say) "Congrats on being first Michael". I know how upset he can get when we don't acknowledge that he is #1. I did say "Good Morning" to you first Michael. Does that count?

    Michael: Way to go on Number ONE , NUmero Uno..por favor! gracias amigas...

    Yes, Tink, I did forget that he doesn't like it when we don't acknowledge his absolutely stunning beauty when he is #1 for the day... Kudos Michael..I'm jealoussssssss.....

    Good Morning Goldie - You are far too young to have any of those titles refer to you. You are still a baby. Now those that apply to me, however, that's another story. I just read them again Michael and they really are very funny. I guess it's my age but the first time I read them I actually saw the original titles. I hope that is because I was reading quickly and not because senility is creeping in.

    I was interrupted. Jack just phoned and his ferry is arriving in Vancouver.

    Good Morning Iteach. I think a lot of those songs stayed around a long time. Wow, you are younger than my kids. Two were born in the 60's and one in 1970. It does seem like yesterday.

    Off to my farms. Have a great day as always.

    Does anyone know the couple in my avatar?

    Please submit your guesses! Bebbi...if u have ur foot out of your mouth yet you can have ur say too!
    lol...

    Tinka I love the royal family...well 3 of them anyway...the queen..Wills and Harry..

    and you have to admit J/L's comment about keeping a firm grip on ones handbag while on ones hands and knees was very funny...

    But honestly...when you look at the queens 59 year reign...there is not a flaw...not a single scandal...it reminds me of a line from the movie "The Queen"...when Tony Blair...in the queens defense of people complaining that they didn't like her approach to honoring Diana upon her death.....

    he spoke of the queens flawless reign and referred to Diana as someone who tried to tear it all down...and although Diana was loved the world over and by me.....she clearly was not cut from the same cloth as QE2....

    In a late night conversation with the queen one night she was bemoaning her brood.....her remark was...

    "you can dress them up DeeDee but you can't take them anywhere!"

    Good Morning!

    MICHAEL: Helllo Gorgeous! My faves..I Can't See Clearly Now..and First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face..though the latter should include..and your name..and where I know you from.. ;D

    ITEACH: I wasn't born in the 60's either..lol..

    Good Morning TINKA, BEBBI and GOLDIE!

    Gonna be a hot day today..but at least the winds are supposed to die down..maybe they'll be able to get a handle on the fire in the White Mountains..it's beautiful country there and it's just so sad to watch it all burn.

    Have a good day everyone..be good..or good at it! :)

    Hi Zonita!!

    Iteach!! Very good!! It is the Edwards!!

    Well you and your coat hanger are on your way to E. Arizona to roast wieners. I think I know just which wiener you would like to roast so take advantage of the opportunity!!!

    Is John Edwards good looking or what!? Kinda like that guy you were married to..."whats his name"? Dean?

    Guess the moral of the story here is that when they are so good looking you may as well just go ahead and roast the wienie....before they try to kill you with it.... emotionally I mean...

    Michael - I was going to ask you about your avatar and I forgot. Good for you Iteach.

    No Michael, not even jokes about handbags. Thank you for saying some nice things about our Queen. People criticize the Royal Family for the money they have and spend but they bring millions in tourist dollars to London. The people are in bad enough shape economically. It is wasn't for their tourist attraction they would be even more worse off than they are today. By the way I loved Dianna too. She added a lot to the whole story.

    "on the commode again...just can't wait to get on the pot again...the life I love is making music with my friends...
    And I can't wait to get on the terlit again....

    I am reminded of Judy Tenuta....very funny comedienne that played the accordion...she said she met Charlton Heston once at an awards show...he played Moses u know...and that he told her that he also plays the accordion...

    and Judy said..."Right! Moses had a squeeze box...Egypt couldn't sleep at night!"

    Evening Friends....

    MICHAEL: Funny blog and I love the Willie Nelson one the best....maybe I relate!

    I have been MIA for a few days trying to learn my new phone. It is taking up a lot of my time...well not really learning all the time but I have now learned how to play some games on it. When Louis starts complaining that he has to do the laundry or fix dinner.....I will "gently" remind him that it was his idea for me to get this phone and interact with family and friends on games!!!

    GOLDIE: I loved your blog about JODI and her dad. You are a great friend and so is she. You are lucky you live so close to each other.

    Guess I will go to bed and see what I can learn new tonight..........on the phone....ha ha

    Dianne, I have a new phone too! iPhone 4... and I love it! I went out last night and splurged on new Bose QC-15 noise cancellation headphones so I could enjoy music from the iPod app while out walking today. It was fabulous!

    Michael: For some reason, How can you mend a broken hip made me LOL!

    And... to you and Tink... I love QE2 as well! Two people who have met her could pick me out of a lineup... my Dad, and astronaut Nick Patrick!

    It sure would be fascinating to interview her, which will never happen. I'd die to know what she really thinks of all the fascinating historical figures that she interacted with. Her grandparents, her parents... all her uncles... her sister... the Kennedys... Wallace... Winston Churchill... Maggie... oh, the list is endless!

    But sadly, we'll never know!
