When Farin first nominated 'Last Kiss' he told me it was a remake of an old 60s song, and I thought, oh no - not that terrible 'death disc' (as we used to call the spate of them in the late 50s, early 60s) by J.Frank Wilson And The Cavaliers ! It was !

:neener: and of course you didn't tell me that you thought that :( :P

Sorry about that ! ;) I didn't know until I looked at the video.

See my new signature ? There were so many of those 'death discs' that Boudleax Bryant (co - writer with his wife of most of the Everly Brothers' early Hits) wrote "Let's Think About Living", sung by Bob Luman. Here's the Lyrics.

In every other song that I've heard lately

Some fellow gets shot

And his baby and his best friend both die with him

As likely as not

In half of the other songs

Some Cat's crying or ready to die

We've lost most of our happy people

And I'm wondering why

Let's think about living

Let's think about loving

Let's think about the whoopin'

and hoppin and boppin'

and the lovie, lovie dovin'

Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'

And the shooting and the dying

And the fellow with a switchblade knife

Let's think about living

Let's think about life

We lost old Marty Robbins

Down in old El Paso a little while back

And now Miss Patti Page or one of them

Is a-wearing black

And Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil

Where they feel like a-they could die

If we keep on a-losin' our singers like that

I'll be the only one you can buy'

Let's think about living

Let's think about loving

Let's think about the whoopin'

and hoppin and boppin'

and the lovie, lovie dovin'

Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'

And the shooting and the dying

And the fellow with a switchblade knife

Let's think about living

Let's think about life

Gees, I was younger than you then Martin. Goodnight All ! :)
