****-Sanders Night Hawk Orchestra -- Little Orphan Annie (1928)

[video=youtube;JRPNziKIU74]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRPNziKIU74&feature=related[/video]

I know a girl, poor little girl
Sweet as a girl could be
How she bears
All her cares
She has a smile. Oh what a smile!
That's what appeals to me
And if we meet someday
To her I mean to say

Little Orphan Annie
You go smiling through
Telling Mr. Trouble
Who's afraid of you?
You don't let your worries
Ever cling to you
Though you have nobody
You can bring them too

Though the skies are cloudy
They're bound to clear up someday
Bluebirds will say howdy
Because you cheer up and say
Come on, Mr. Trouble
Who's afraid of you?
Little Orphan Annie
Will go smiling through

Edith Piaf -- Tu Es Partout (1943)

[video=youtube;HFlSCVaaOkQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFlSCVaaOkQ&feature=related[/video]

We loved each other tenderly
Like we loved all lovers
Then when day you left me
Ever since I've been desperate
I see you everywhere in the sky
I see you everywhere on the earth
You are my joy and my sun
My nights, my days, my clear dawns

You are everywhere because you are in my heart
You are everywhere because you are my happiness
Everything that is around me
Even life does not represent you
Sometimes I dream that I am in your arms
And you speak softly in my ear
You tell me things that make me close my eyes
And I find that marvellous

Maybe one day you will return
I know that my heart waits for you
You can not forget
The past days we spent together
My eyes never stop searching for you
Listen well, my heart calls you
We can love each other again
And you'll see life would be beautiful

I am listening to one of my favourite songs. The piano solo of "Anything Goes" sung and performed by Cole Porter.

I'm writing a piece about this song for my class at university. Our task is to rewrite a popular song.

For those who are familiar with the lyrics of "Anything Goes", I'm rewriting it for the 21st Century. I'll be happy to post the lyrics here when I'm done, if anyone wants a laugh.

I'd love to see it Shangas

I would enjoy reading this.

This is for Rue, and for Connery. First, here is the original recording from 1934, featuring Cole Porter and the ****-Sanders Nighthawks Orchestra:

[video=youtube;3aeQ3DmKU7A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aeQ3DmKU7A[/video]

Here is "Anything Goes" for the 21st Century. I wrote this entirely by myself in 24 hours. The verses exactly follow the layout of the original song. Bridging verses are enboldened for ease of reading.

Each verse is a commentary on a particular aspect of modern society, in a similar vein to the original 1930s song. See if you can guess what each verse is referring to. Some are more obvious than others.

"Anything Goes" (A parody by Shangas).

Times have changed,
And too often we’ve lost the plot,
And become far too eas’ly shocked,
And our common sense cracks like rocks.

Now today, any shock that we’re forced to stand,
Instead of standing fast like the rocks,
We would crumble into dust and sand,

In olden days when folks were tolerant,
Actions from then are seen as abhorrent,
And now God knows, Anything Goes

Fine authors too who once wrote flowery,
Are now seen as overpowering,
And you know, Anything Goes,

If those shows you like,
Where girls fight and like,
Scratch and swear and bite,
And the men are like,
Full of beer and spite,
And not at home at night,
Well then it only goes to show,

That though we think that life is perfect,
Some wish that we had a reset,
Hid down below, Anything Goes.

These days parents,
Can be far too sensitive,
To be re-pre-sentative,
And let kids grow,
Anything Goes!

Music too is indiscernible,
Breathing and phrasing?
That’s unheard of,
Because you know,
Anything Goes!

Men and girls today,
Are they straight or ***?
Or is it just for pay?
Will they leave or stay?
Will they stay the course?
Or file for a divorce?
The tab-a-loids will know!

Where once we would have sent a letter,
We now text, it's fast but is it much better?
Well, I don’t know, Anything Goes.

Our lives online are there for all to read,
Facebook, and Twitter, Youtube, It’s plain to see,
Anything Goes.

Subway and the Golden Arches are
Feeding us all from greasy old cartons,
And waistlines grow,
Anything Goes.

All those courts today,
Are overrun by they,
Whose brains will always say,
Your common sense may stay,
You can relax today,
Because you will be paid,
When your litigation’s through,

The world today is quite fantastical,
Full of the sane, the mad, the irascible,
And you know, Anything Goes!
