Mom and I want to thank Hootin Anni for sponsoring
Mom is a big fan of Mr. Barry Manilow today's song is
OUR version (changes in bold red) of Mandy which we are calling
OH MADI
To hear this very pretty song (his version not ours) click on the video below. Mr. Manilow really tickles the ivories on this song too.
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of MOM and a Madi
A face through a window
staring in the night
The night goes into
Morning,
just another day
critters passing my way
looking into my house
I see a memory
I never realized
HOW HAPPY YOU MADE ME
HOW HAPPY YOU MADE ME
OH MADI
Well you came and you gave without biting
and I sent you away
You licked your lips at me and stopped me from screaming
I need you today oh Madi
You were sitting on the edge of your perch
You were blinking away the hours when love was mine
You were caught in an uphill climb
No fear in your eyes
And nothing but your rear to get in gear
Well you came and you gave with lots of meowing
and I sent you away
Oh Madi
And you hissed at me making me shake
And I need you today oh Madi
Yesterday is a dream
Now I face the morning
with a gentle breeze
and a strong cup of coffee
OH MADI
MOM AND I ARE GLAD THIS SONG IS OVER
AND WE HOPE MR. MANILOW WILL FORGIVE US.
MOM ASKED ME TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THERE VERY KIND COMMENTS ON YESTERDAY'S POST!!
That was a beautiful song Madi!! I am sure he wont mind one bit!!

Wonderful! My Mommy got so excited when she saw it was a Manilow song. We think that pic of you wif the floofalicious tail is to die fur! It makes us sing "Oh Madi" too. Haf a great Thursday from all your admirers at Prancer Pie.
ReplyDeleteMadi, The words your Mommy makes up are sooooo much fun. There should be a song about you.

I can't help but feel that the caption for photo 7 should be "Does my bum look big in this?"...... which of course it doesn't.... obviously... ahem... Deccy x
ReplyDeleteI like your words better and the pics....awesome, my friend!
ReplyDeleteMom says she always loved that song, now she likes it even better with the new words!
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
I absolutely LOVED this rendition. So awesome. Love the rewritten lyrics to fit you and your Mom, Madi. What a FANGtastic song "Madi". Ohhhhhhhhhhh, and I must add, I LOVE Mr. Manilow too.
ReplyDeleteWell done. And oh so clever.
This is so purrrfect! Your Mom is a genius at re-working lyrics!
ReplyDeleteWhat's Her Name lov es Barry Manilow too- your version of his song is much better than the original (and he would have made much more money with it too!)
ReplyDeletei love this part best of all And nothing but your rear to get in gear
ReplyDeletegreat song writing skills here, and maybe he would sing it for you.
That is such a purrfect rendition of that song and Mr. Barry should be very honored that he was singing about Madi. Those are great words. We too loved the part getting the rear in gear. Take care and have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYour blue house looks like a nifty place to hang out... of course, I don't think I'd fit, but I'd sniff at it admiringly!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the "Madi" version of the song. Barry Manilow is quite the singer/song writer. I love everything he does, even his commercial jingles. Oh to be That talented.
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are great, but my favorite is the one of her all stretched out looking up as if to say, Really Another Picture? Love It!
Happy Thursday!
I definitely like your words better Madi!
ReplyDeleteRooooo!

Thursday's posts with Madi are always such fun. We loved the lyrics - and the pics go so well. Mom likes that Manilow dude too. Brings back lots of good memories.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
So cute - and wonderful photos of you, Madi! I loved it...hope you got to check out my Thursday Theme Song! Have a wonderful day, and say hi to your Mom!
ReplyDeleteI remember the original song, because my parents had a collie named Mandy!
ReplyDeleteWe all sang it to her every time, much to her delight. NOT!
BUT I really loved your version, with perfect photos to go with it! LOL
I am sure Mr. Manilow will approve! :)
I've always loved his music.
ReplyDeleteGood pics of you Madi.
Hi dear Madi!
ReplyDeleteI love yoU!
Super photos of you, Madi. You're so sweet and lovely.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your mom's changes to the song. My favorite was "And nothing but your rear to get in gear"!

I bet if you asked him, he would record your version! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I think it would be pretty hard for Barry Manilow to forgive this one. Lee got to meet him several years ago when he was at Riverbend, which is right next to the Coney Island you went to. It was a meet and greet promotion by a local radio station.

Madi darling...my mom and I LURVED every line! BRAVA!
ReplyDeleteOH MADI!!!
ReplyDeleteWe loved it every word.

That is great Madi! We are sure Barry Manilow would feel very honoured to know you have your version of his great song.
ReplyDeleteOh Madi! Excellent song this week! We think Mr. Manilow would love your version!!
ReplyDeleteYour version with the pictures included made it better than the original!
ReplyDeleteKisses and hugs

I've always been a fan of Barry Manilow but I like your version better Madi!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful song, one of our favorites by Mr. Manilow.
ReplyDeleteLove the last line,
"Now I face the morning
with a gentle breeze
and a strong cup of coffee"
Hugs,
