Aggie87 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Copied this off of RMB, courtesy of a couple of different posters from back in 1997. It was a collaborative, add-on lyric, and I thought it was kinda clever. Courtesy of some guys named Alan Young, Dave Harrison, and Ron Dudgeon. "My Favorite Things" Tom-tom and hi-hat and claves and conga, Shuffle or swing waltz or bossa or rhumba, Bass in a groove and piano that swings, These are a few of my favorite things. Tenors like Lester's and Flugels like Miles, Klezmer and Tango and barrelhouse styles, Old blues guitarists who wail on their strings, These are a few of my favorite things. When the key sticks, when the string breaks, got some nerves to soothe: I get up and wail with my favorite things and then I'm back in groove. Little swing combos and Hot Fives and Sevens The thought and the logic in work by Bill Evans The thrill that goes through me when Lady Day sings These are a few of my favourite things. Miles on vinyl and coltrane on CD Hard driving blues played in the "C" key Aging old hippies who dig music that swings These are a few of my favourite things. Verve and Mosaic and Prestige and Blue Note Monk in his fur hat and bop lines that Bird wrote Basie and Ellington, Coleman Hawkins These are a few of my favourite things.

John L Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Fun....(although Coleman Hawkins doesn't quite scan in the line, he was mighty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Yeah, "the Mighty Hawk" might have worked better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
