Monty by Jim Meddick for January 20, 2025

It is one of the sadest songs I know, Hope no one goes through that experience. Another is You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’, the subtle signs that the fire is gone.

Who loves Barbra Streisand?

“MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down

Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don’t think that I can take it

’Cause it took so long to bake it

And I’ll never have that recipe again, oh no"

In a little while from now if I’m not feeling any less sour……..

In the end, Roy Orbison’s ♪♫Only the Lonely♫♪ did him in.

Do The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, that’ll clear the room

“Leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when i’ll be back again’’

Gosh, I love a good tear jerker.

I suppose ‘Old Shep’ is out of the question?

“Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas, today!”

I think breaking down crying at the end is perfect for the entertainment value, especially if he can’t sing well

“Lydia, oh Lydia, How I love Lydia, Lydia the tattooed Lady.” Cheer up, folks. It’s Monday, Monday.

Come on Monty, you can duet if you try.
