There's some major crap in this bunch. Hope some of it goes before I'm
forced to listen to it again.
In the meantime, I think I've heard the Flying Saucer and I'm sure I
hated it, but if I havent and didn't I'll get rid of it just in case.

[Sharx35]

I have the extreme privilege in knocking out School Day by C.
Berry, a VERY overrated record!

[Michael Pendragon]

The Crew-Cuts' version was a catchier, more uptempo version than The
Penguins' which basically boiled down to yet another Ink Spots
impersonation. The latter is one of the better examples of its kind,
but The Crew-Cuts have the better, and more original, recording.

As for me, I have the honor of cutting School (or at least one Day of
it). Ring! Ring! sounds the knell!

[Sharx35]

Coming up on my s(hit) list: Rag Mop, Blacksmith Blues, Flying
Saucer, and Whole Lotta Shaking Going On.

Are you sure that you would classify what Gary did as "singing?"

Yeah, I was being a little generous in my description, in respect of Bing.

Are you insane? "Alvin's Harmonica" is great compared to most of the
early 50s pop on the list.

Roger, your lack of taste is exceeded only by Doug Peneny's.

"Rose, Rose, I Love You" has been one of my favorites since I
discovered it on an old 78 back when I was a boy of 12 or so. It's a
wonderful example of a narrative song, setting its variation on the
"Madame Butterfly" theme to an authentic Chinese tune. The lyric is
filled with vivid exotic imagery of "Lotus-scented breezes and swaying
palms"; and the final image of Rose "Standing on the jetty as the
steamer moves away" with an unknown and unknowable future ahead of her
is unforgettable. And what an all-star lineup, Mitch Miller put
together for Frankie Laine's debut record at Columbia! -- matching him
up with Paul Weston's orchestra and The Norman Luboff Choir. It's
often been speculated that both "Rose" and its "B" side, the ultimate
"bitch" anthem, "Jezebel," would both have been #1 hits if they hadn't
been competing with each other.

The lead song on the first album I ever owned (sniff, sniff). I still
enjoy listening to The Chipmunks. There's a magic in their harmonies
that rises above and beyond their initial novelty factor.

Two great artists whose voices somehow, IMHO, just lose all their
special qualities when combined. They reportedly had a rough time
working together, as well. Nevertheless, they made a pretty decent
record -- just not anywhere near as stellar as one might have hoped
for.

[Michael Pendragon]

Two great versions ... but Eddie Fisher had a jaw-droppingly-amazing
voice, and this song lets him show it off to its fullest effect.

I first heard "Jalousie" on a 3-lp mail order collection I got around
the age of 12 or 13 (when I first started collecting music). From the
opening chordal conjuration of marching toward one's inexorable fate,
I was captured. Then Frankie Laine's voice came on, delivering all I
was hoping for and more. His version of "Jalousie" has got to be one
of the greatest vocal performances ever captured. It's a masterpiece
of stylistic variation culminating in his raising the key for the
reprise of the second chorus. I've tried singing along with it (and
by tried, I'm talking 1000s of times), but I can never get that
finish.

I'm sorry to see this one go, but the great thing about these contests
is that there are still a couple dozen of my all-time favorites in the
running.

Not this time. There are 3 or 4 records on the list I'm unfamiliar
with. The rest I either like a lot or flat out love.

I'm serious. I really enjoy listening to the Chipmunk's versions of
songs like "Over the River & Through the Woods," and "Ragtime Cowboy
Joe." And not for any "camp" or "humorous" elements in them. They're
damn good versions of the songs.

Aces is LONG GONE.

Maybe they'll all show up when it's posted. Regardless, please remove "Changing Partners" by Ms. Page but it's not on the short list so I can't delete it.

Yes, that is the last song on the list. There were two after it that
have already been taken out.

And I'm not worried about condemning anything in this contest. The
few songs I don't care for went down long ago.
