LA RECENSIONE

Paraponzi ponzi pà

If there were justice in the world - and I don't think it's necessary to underline that there isn't at all for a [here put the irreverent word you like best] - if there were justice in the world, as I was saying, we would all be different than we are now. After all, each person's unhappiness is caused by the momentary, minimal, ridiculous, ephemeral, disgusting sparks of others' happiness, which, when multiplied by what they need to be multiplied by, cause quite a bit of friction.

If I were the kind of person I would like to be, I mean, I would listen to music like this all day. After the tonic comes the dominant, after the dominant the tonic. And everything, magically, works. The voice is very vibrant, high falsetto, effeminate shriek - ah, the selection begins - (every music album, actually, during its 30, 40, 60 minutes duration, does nothing but select listeners, so that in the end there remain from 0 (bad record) to quite a few (record considered good). Many of you - if you'll allow me to make a prediction... will you allow me? Thank you. - so, if, tatatatatà, then many of you will turn it all off at the beginning of "Tip Toe" etcetera thru the tulips, track 2 basically. pretty famous in [fancy word] circles)

So! The ukulele is a nice instrument, four little strings on a tiny disproportionate structure, humorously and asymmetrically tuned to the eye of the usual guitar player. This gentleman plays the ukulele, sings with the voice I have just described to you. He's also a funny guy, after all. It seems he left us 12 years ago, more or less while someone somewhere else was doing things.

A thousand colorful adventures, a thousand I say, with things jumping from everywhere - and after seven days you survive.

Tracklist Lyrics Videos

01   Welcome to My Dream (01:26)

02   Tip-Toe Thru' the Tulips With Me (01:50)

Tiptoe through the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me

Oh, tiptoe from the garden
By the garden of the willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me

Knee deep in flowers we'll stray
We'll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight
Will you pardon me?
And tiptoe through the tulips with me

03   Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight (02:05)

(spoken)
Hello my dear friends!
Well, here I am on record at last.
And it feels so wonderful to be here with you on my first album.

(sung)
I'm so happy!
AHA! Happy go lucky me!
I just go my way,
living everyday!

I don't worry!
Worrying don't agree,
Things that bother you,
never bother me!

Things that bother you,
never bother me
I feel happy and fine!
AHA!
Living in the sunlight,
loving in the moonlight
Having a wonderful time!

Haven't got a lot,
I don't need a lot
Coffee's only a dime
Living in the sunlight,
loving in the moonlight,
having a wonderful time!

Just take it from me,
I'm just as free as any daughter.
I do what I like,
just what I like,
and how I love it!

I'm right here to stay
When I'm old and gray,
I'll be right in my prime!
Living in the sunlight,
loving in the moonlight,
having a wonderful time!

(humming)

Just take it from me,
I'm just as free as any daughter.
I do what I like,
just what I like,
and how I love it!

I'm right here to stay,
When I'm old and gray,
I'll be right in my prime,
Living in the sunlight,
loving in the moonlight,
Having a wonderful time!

(spoken)
OH! Isn't this a lovely band!
And what a thrill it is to have them play for me.

Look and you'll see,

Diamond skies where white deer fly
past paisley on the run
Ruby robes are swaying silk skies runnin'
Flaming sun

(chorus) Sipping strawberry tea,
We beloved into thee
Eternally

Look and you'll see,

Rainbow pools reflect in
Emerald melting sherbet moons
Silver angels drift through timeless
Never ending joy

(chorus) Sipping strawberry tea,
We beloved into thee
Eternally

Look and you'll see,

Look and you'll see,

Gossamer cloths that you can see
In dreams of gold have spun
Crystal chorus free
With love to everyone

(chorus) Sipping strawberry tea,
We beloved into thee
Eternally

Look and you'll see...
