"Feeeeeeeeeeelings wo wo wo feelings

Try whistling the tune to either "The Andy Williams Show" "Bridge Over The
River Kwai" or for a real earworm, "If I Only Had A Brain"!!

BTW: One of my river songs is definately "Black Water" by the Doobies. Once,
while running a totally flooded river in Maine (the Dead at something like
35,000 cfs....a record) with a boatload of passengers and a support kayak, I
was so nervous that I started singing that song to calm myself. Pat, the
support yakker, was also a bit spooked, so he joined in with the
countermelody. When we got into the big rapid, he and I were too separated
to hear each other, but I just kept singing loudly as I got totally battered
and rock-and-rolled in one monsterous wave after another. When I came out
the bottom, Pat was just emerging from his particular route, still singing
on the same beat in perfect countermelody. We ended up repeating this feat
the next year in Lava Falls in the Grand Canyon...still in perfect timing.
I think of those two moments a lot when I find myself missing that energy
and camaderie of youth and whitewater, old friends and familiar exotic
places.

One of the most horrible things I have ever heard in my
life was an Asian guy at a karaoke bar trying to sing that
song.

Feeeeeeeeeeeeerrrings, wo wo wo feeerrings ...

Committing bad karaoke should carry the death penalty.


I remember one parody of Elmer Fudd singing "you wight up my wife"

The technical term for that is "earworm", and when one of those
burrows its way into your head, nothing short of a frontal lobotomy
seems to help.

Oh, BTW ... "Afternoon Delight".

HTH.

Do earworms ever tell you to set things on fire??

Just curious,

Goin’ home, goin’ home, by the riverside I will rest my bones,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

thus, to the point of the post: what song, presently, or within the
last few months, has run through your wandering minds, as you fished your
waters these last few months?

"Give My Love to Rose" by Johnny Cash and "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and
Alison Krauss.]

"Fishing With Bill" by Greg Brown is always a good one.

We gotta make that happen sometime, Chuck. Maybe we could get them to hold
ACRL in West Yellowtone?

Hey, if they could pull that off, I'd even become a member. ;-)

I do hope to get a chance to fish with Bill. A galoot and a
flyfisher ... it doesn't get any better than that. :-)

the latter)

Fortunately, my kids also liked hymns, so I
could work in "In the Garden" and "The Church in the Wildwood" every
once in a while.

timmaay, you could have absolutely *busted* my ass on a bet that
you ever listened to either of those two songs.

Yeah, but then again, I'm full of surprises.

next you'll tell me
you walk around humming "how great thou art" on sunday mornings...

No, but "The Old Rugged Cross" still rattles in my brain from time to
time. My father used to sit my siblings and me on his lap in the rocking
chair, sometimes all at once when we were small, and sing hymns, so the
ones I know come from him. I remember it being very calming for me, and
they had the same effect when I sang them to my kids. Dad wasn't a
particularly religious man, so I can't say where he picked them up,
something I would have liked to have known before he passed on.
