them.

1. "Jenny's Theme," from the Love Story Soundtrack: "Where do I begin/to tell
the story of a very lovely girl?" "Skating in Central Park" is another
fantastically effective tear-duct manipulator; it starts out very arpeggio,
very lighthearted and winsome--the lovers are sailing around the rink, happy,
young, and free--when suddenly--adagio! The tempo plummets and the melody's
taken up by the most forlorn, single-keyed piano notes ever composed on this
earth plane, for suddenly Jenny's renegade leukemic cells have tolled, and she
must be borne post haste to the nearest deathbed.
2. "A Time For Us," Percy Faith and his Orchestra, apparently an interpretation
of Romeo and Juliette's star-crossed potion debacle. Instrumental. Really very
pretty. Hokey. Pretty. I love its wistfulness.
3." The Theme to A Summer Place," scored for that movie--golly what was its
name?--about the young man who is relieved of his virginity by an older woman
whose husband is fighting for his life in a foxhole?
Oh, here we go: The Summer of '42. Good movie. Includes a semi-frank
dramatization of (improper) condom-usage.
4. "Message to Michael," instrumental by Burt Bacharach. Some very sultry horns
there. I would send this message to Michael (in fact I think I have, in so many
words.).
5. "The Look of Love," composed by Burt Bacharach and sung, I'm almost certain,
by Dione Warwick, in full possession of her dusky chops. A breathless
seduction; there's some very edgy (very unidentifyable) percussion instrument
in there that positively defines siege level desire. Ravel EYHO.
6. "Mas Que Nada," Brazil '66 (Early Peaches and Herb!)
7. Montovani - in all his orchestral overmuchness
8. Ray Conniff and his Singers - nicely histrionic love themes, mostly covers
(They should have not tried, however, to cover "Imagine." Not gd.)
9. "A Little Prayer (For You)," assuredly sung by Deonne Warwick ("The moment I
wake up/Before I put on my make up/I say a little prayer for you.") (Clearly I
haven't a fucking clue how to spell her first name.)
10. "You're Still a Young Man," by (the mighty) Tower of Power Horns
(SF Local)
11. My eleventh favorite sappy love song is not so sappy as it is bathetic. I'm
loath to tell, but I'll cop if you can guess it: Don't Stand Too Close to Me's
1962 (or 3) prelude, TS,WL. In fact, if you do guess it, I'll give you the moon
and the stars. But I'd rather give you my heart.

You call this sappy??? Such a dark coloured love song, with Ian Curtis'
vocals like he's singing from a grave. It's not the song which warms the
hear, but the song that freezes you. You know, when Curtis sings "why is the
bedroom so cold?" that sounds like you can touch that coldness.
Definitely one of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded. Lines and
lines could be written about it.

A shot in the dark - 'To Sir with love'? Or that's at least what struck me
upon seeing TS,WL. The movie was more like late '60s so maybe I'm wrong.
(The ObREM is that Merchant and Stipe duetted 'To Sir with love' at the
Clinton inauguration ball)

Oh my, I could not for the life of me think of who did that Romeo and Juliet
song, see my friend Jon covers that song....and I would have liked to put it on
my list, BUT its not his song originally...he sure does a damn good job of it
though.......its a great song
Kevin Rohleder
Yep it is.. it's one of my favorite songs by any band.

Sometime in the 1960s was my meaning - I'm not positive for that matter that it
didn't come out in the early '70s.
*****ANYWAY*****
Moon, stars, my heart--all yours. Take good care of them, Robin.

PS: What is the ObREM and how can I get a recording of this duet? I've nothing
left to bargain; Robin has everything that was mine to give. Throwing myself on
your mercy now: I need to hear this song! Anguished until I do...

The Stipe/Merchant duet 'To Sir with love' might be on a bootleg - sorry I
don't have it myself.
ObREM is an abbreviation for obligatory REM reference (or words to that
effect). I can't remember who started it to give them credit, but you put
ObREM when you can link some off topic fact to the band in some way to make
the post on-topic. Did I explain that okay?
