Wheelin-round, please explain to this native Southerner (now living in the Northwest) what "respect/interject Southern Heritage" has to do with your above comments.

[Wheelin_round]

Don't think I quite ever understood. Just was told that in passing when the song was played. Never been one to hear the words to songs (tunitis) just listened to the music.
Where did you grow up in the south?

Enrico Caruso - Core 'ngrato (Recorded 1911) Salvatore Cardillo - Songwriter


Core 'ngrato - Italian Lyrics
Catari, Catari, pecché me dici
sti parole amare;
pecché me parle e 'o core me turmiente,
Catari?
Nun te scurdà ca t'aggio date 'o core,
Catari, nun te scurdà!
Catari, Catari, ché vene a dicere stu parlà
ca me dà spaseme?
Tu nun'nce pienze a stu dulore mio,
tu nun'nce pienze, tu nun te ne cure.
Core, core 'ngrato,
t'aie pigliato 'a vita mia,
tutt'è passato e
nun'nce pienze chiù!


Enrico Caruso - Core 'ngrato. Digitally remastered.

English Translation
Catari, Catari, why do you tell me
only words of bitterness,
why only things that torment me
Catari?
Don't forget that once I gave you my heart,
Catari, don't forget!
Catari, Catari, why do you say
these things that make me suffer?
You never think of my pain,
you never think if it, you don't care.
Ungrateful heart,
you wrenched my life from me
and now it's all over,
you no longer think of me!

Italian Lyrics - Composed By, Gioachino Rossini

Già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salterà! L'ora è bella per danzare, chi è in amor non mancherà.
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salterà! L'ora è bella per danzare, chi è in amor non mancherà.
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salterà! Presto in danza a tondo, a tondo, donne mie venite quà,
un garzon bello e giocondo,
a ciascuna toccherà, finchè in ciel brilla una stella e la luna splenderà.
Il più bel con la più bella tutta notte danzerà.
Mamma mia, mamma mia, già la luna è in mezzo al mare, mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia, si salterà.
Frinche, frinche, frinche, frinche, frinche, frinche, mamma mia, se salterà. Frinche, frinche, frinche,
frinche, frinche, frinche, mamma mia, se salterà.
La la ra la ra - la ra la la ra la - la la ra la ra - la ra la la ra la -

Salta, salta, gira, gira, ogni coppia a cerchiova, già s'avvanza, si ritira e all' assalto tornerà.
Salta, salta, gira, gira, ogni coppia a cerchiova, già s'avvanza, si ritira e all' assalto tornerà.
Già s'avvanza, si ritira e all' assalto tornerà!
Sera, sera, colla bionda, colla bruna và quà e là colla rosa và a seconda, colla smorta fermo stà.
Viva il ballo a tondo a tondo, sono un Re, sono un Bascià, e il più bel piacer del mondo la più cara voluttà.
Mamma mia, mamma mia, già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia, si salterà.
Frinche, frinche, frinche, frinche, frinche, frinche, mamma mia, se salterà.

Until in heaven sparkles a star, And the moonbeams will shine,
The most beautiful boy and girl will dance all night.

Mambo Italiano - Lyrics
(A girl went back to Napoli because she missed the scenery)
(The native dances and the charming songs)
(But wait a minute something's wrong)

Hey mambo, mambo Italiano hey hey mambo mambo Italiano
Go go go you mixed up Siciliano
All you Calabrese do the mambo like-a crazy with the

Hey mambo mambo Italiano try an enchilada with a fish baccala
Hey goomba I love how you dance the rumba
But take some advice paisano learn-a how to mambo
If you're gonna be a square you ain't-a gonna go anywhere
Hey mambo mambo Italiano hey hey mambo mambo Italiano
Go go Joe shake like a tiavanna
E lo che se dice you get happy in the pizza when you

Hey chadrool you don't-a have to go to school
Just make it with a big bambino

Ho ho ho you mixed up Siciliano
E lo che se dice you get happy in the pizza when you

Billie Holiday - Good Morning Heartache



Good Morning Heartache - Lyrics
Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it
seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you, but
you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Good morning heartache
What's new?

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
You're the one
Who knew me when
Might as well get use to
you hanging around
Good morning heartache
Sit down...

Thanks EYESEE, I saw that, too...For those that don't know (and I just learned myself - Thanks EYESEE)...From the link: Billie Holiday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Holiday was sentenced to Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia, more popularly known as "Camp Cupcake". Other notable celebrities to serve time at Alderson are Martha Stewart, Sara Jane Moore (who tried to assassinate President Ford), and Lynette (Squeaky) Fromme of the Charles Manson family of murderers."

I found this tidbit interesting, from the link under the heading...Commodore recordings and mainstream success (1939)

"During her time at Commodore, Billie Holiday also babysat the young Billy Crystal; his father being Jack Crystal and uncle being Milt Gabler, the co-founders of Commodore Records."

Eggplant Lyrics - By, Michael Franks
Whenever I explore the land of Yen
I always take one on the chin
And now this lioness has almost made me tame.
I can't pronounce her name but Eggplant is her game.

The lady sticks to me like white on rice.
She never cooks the same way twice.
Maybe it's the mushrooms. Maybe the tomatoes.
I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.

When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book.
She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look.

And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways.
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.

-break-

Maybe it's the way she grates her cheese,
Or just the freckles on her knees.
Maybe it's the scallions. Maybe she's Italian.
I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.

When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book.
She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look.

And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways.
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.

Lyrics to Monkey See - Monkey Do - Michael Franks
Love has locked us up, peaches,
Locked inside this zoo,
Your bananas get thrown at me
And mine get thrown at you.
Ev'ry night we fuss and fight
Like me and you know who,
I guess love is always just:

Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (would i lie to you?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do.

Do you want my love, peaches?
Do you want my rage?
Or do you merely like to see me shake my cage?
Your papayas get thrown at me
And mine get thrown at you,
I guess love is always just:

Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (would i lie to you?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do.

You won't let me near you, peaches,
But one day you will.
Gonna jump up and stumble and eat all the jungle
Until i've had my fill.
Then you'll know the truth, peaches,
One and one ain't two,
One and one is one and love is:

Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do,
Would i lie to you? (would i lie to you, baby?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do...
