Bernice, no one is forcing you to stay there. If you feel like youâre wasting your time, go elsewhereâŠ

I thought Luannâs singing ability had been retconned out of the series. Why go to college, audition for America Got Talent!

Given what the arc is between Toni and Brad this bit of boring is good. Monday we get back to not boring.

And for the Christmas edition, are they playing âWhat Child Is This?â or âGreensleevesâ?.Wrong..Itâs âWhere the Lilac Growsâ.

And pretty much the entire corpus of Emily Dickinsonâs work can be sung to the tune of âThe Yellow Rose of Texas.â This is especially hilarious when performing some of her âmortalityâ poems such as âBecause I Could Not Stop for Death.â There are individual performances and even sing along parties of this stuff on YouTube.

On a separate but ârelated noteâ, I hate when I go to look at an interesting CD of songs, only to flip it over and find in small letters: âAs Sung By The Mock-Up BandââŠ.-Also the subject of a parody on SNL, where âJoey Lawrenceâ sells âDuran Duranâs Greatest HitsâŠ.as Sung by Klymaxx! (80s R&B/funk/pop group)â.

âO Sole Mioâ and Elvisâ âItâs Now Or Neverâ both have the same melody; so do the songs âHeâs So Fineâ (The Chiffons and Carole King, who wrote it) and âMy Sweet Lordâ (George Harrison).It is interesting to note that Carole King sued George Harrison over the sound-alike issue (she won).

It wasnât Baa Baa Black Sheep. If it was, the 2 quarter notes in the 3rd measure would have been 4 eigth notes.

Ah, I am quite envious of those two. I remember being their age and being. âBoredâ. All the cool creative things I came up with and all the time to just âbeâ. At the time, you donât realize it, youâre just bored. When youâre older, your realize it for sure. ; )

As I am sure most people know, the tune in this Sundayâs strip is originally an old French folk song called, âAh! Vous dirai-je, Mamanâ Mozart wrote twelve variations on it.

I learned âTwinkle, twinkleâ had the same melody as âA,B,Câ when I heard a six-year-old combining the two on a city bus.*Only today did I learn about âBaa, baaâ. Thanks, Team Evans! That makes my week! yeah, itâs been an exciting summer :(
*No wonder kindergarden teachers grow selectively deaf.

sallymargaret said, about 2 hours ago@SukieCrandallYou can sing âThe Night Before Christmasâ to the tune of the Pachelbel Canon in D. It fits perfectly.If you heard my singing voice you would reword that. Unlit candles melt in their holders, pots and pans warp, windows shiver without wind, mosquitos acquire a queen without even realizing that they had such a potentially divergent future.

A fine way to pass time on a Sunday afternoon, humming three separate identical songs, Luann.Bernice, you will be excused if you choose to retaliateâŠ.

The rest of my day will be consumed with finding poems that go with pieces of music that have nothing to do with the contents of the poemâthe weirder the better!!! What fun!!!

Luann is studying to be a teacher. This is something she should know.

Itâs hard to believe that there are so many ignorant people who donât know that the "twinkle twinkle " tune is from Haydnâs âSurpriseâ symphony.

I hope this doesnât leave the Brad/Toni thing hanging for a month. I donât get why on earth Brad does NOT see what an ordeal this thing is for Toni. She is SO out of his league anyway and hates this kind of thing and he is just relentless. If she is rethinking HIM, I donât blame her. How do you make a life with someone who has so little respect for how you feel, who you are? He improved some for a while, but has really regressed.

I was reading this news story on risk factors vs. perceived risk factors influenced by social morality concepts and ran into a portion which i think reflects how some commenters react to aspects of some situations w Jonah. http://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2016/08/22/490847797/why-do-we-judge-parents-for-putting-kids-at-perceived-but-unreal-risk?utm_source=npr_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20160828&utm_campaign=bestofnpr&utm_term=nprnewsThat portion begins with:âIn most of your studies, participants are evaluating a mother who leaves her child unattended. But in one study you instead consider fathers, and you find an interesting difference. For mothers, leaving a child unattended to go to work is about as bad as doing so to relax or to volunteer. But for fathers, leaving a child to go to work is comparable to leaving a child alone unintentionally â the case that was judged least morally bad and least dangerous. What do you think might explain this difference for mothers versus fathers?â
