I'll be leading the vocals for today's featured song,
Blue Moon, from atop my blue couch.
Warning to all, my high beams are turned on so BEHAVE this is
a peppy song.
Blue Moon
you saw me standing alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love on my own
Blue moon,
you knew just what I was there for
you heard me saying a prayer for
somebody I really could care for,
And then there suddenly appear before me
the only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
and when I looked the moon had turned to
gold
Blue Moon
now I'm no longer alone without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own.

The original song was written by Rodgers and Hart and titled "Prayer" it was intended for Jean Harlow to sing it in Hollywood Party. Neither Miss Harlow or "Prayer" appeared in Hollywood Party. There are several versions of Blue Moon but the 1961 is heard most often...and it is a lively version.

Love the moon pictures. You captured the "Blue" moon perfectly. I have heard the 1961 version of the song before and I agree it is a peppy one. However, not being born until '62 the version I am most familiar with is from the 70's, from the movie Grease. I only saw it 100 times... I think it was sang by Sha Na Na.
ReplyDeleteGreat Post!!
How interesting, Madi and Mom!! This has always been one of my favorite songs too! Love the photos you included!
ReplyDeleteGreat song! We luf it. We luf the pics, too!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous photos of the moon C. And we really like the high beams on the blue sofa. This is our favorite version of Blue Moon plus we like the American Graffiti clips.

Dunno...how the heck that happened, but I lost my own beginning of the comment I was typing to you both. Geez. I need to go back to bed. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I was saying....ahem....I'm so jealous of those tall pine trees?!!! Absolutely breathtaking. And your blue moon photos...I bet YOU even feel like howling at the moon, right Madi?
Then, my last thought is ---the Youtube video says 1961?!!! Lord love a duck...that's 51 years ago. I'm ancient!!!
...my math isn't very good either. I DO need to take a nap. It should be 50....fifty years.
ReplyDeleteI played that so much when I was young that I wore out the record.
ReplyDeleteYou know I have a thing for moons! I will have to start playing that song in the RRC!
ReplyDeleteMadi your vocals are purrfect :)
ReplyDeleteOh Madi
ReplyDeleteYou and your Mom captured some beautiful "blue" moons!
purrs
