This character from a show in Boston moved to Seattle. George

I'm going to open this up to a free post. Check out this, though: George

Louis Armstrong did the most memorable version. (The Sam Cooke song, "What a Wonderful World It Would Be" is the one that starts out "Don't know much about history...") And yes, my song does involve Mama Cass getting fat, but I'd prefer to have the name of the tune. The name of the tune does not appear in the lyrics. George

Be that as it may, it's not ringing any bells with me. Sometimes, the context of a line makes it memorable. I'm not asking for the context here, I'm just saying that that is how I often remember something. George

The Man in the Moon reference leads me to guess "Taxi." George

"What a Wonderful World" John and Mitchy were gettin' kinda itchy Just to leave their folk music behind Zal and Denny workin' for a penny Tryin' to get a fish on the line Correct spelling not required. George

Here's the whole first verse: B.B. Bumble and the Stingers, Mott the Hoople, Ray Charles Singers Lonnie Mack and twangin' Eddy, here's my ring we're goin' steady Take it easy, take me higher, liar liar, house on fire Locomotion, Poco, Passion, Deeper Purple, Satisfaction Baby baby gotta gotta gimme gimme gettin' hotter Sammy's cookin', Lesley Gore and Ritchie Valens, end of story Mahavishnu, fujiyama, kama-sutra, rama-lama Richard Perry, Spector, Barry, Archies, Righteous, Nilsson, Harry Shimmy shimmy ko-ko bop and Fats is back and Finger Poppin' George

It was a one-hit wonder in the 70's George PS I may be more sporadic in visits to GS for the next few days.

Correct George

I'll be on vacation for a few days, with less Internet access than usual, so go ahead and answer, if you know it. George

Take it easy, take me higher, liar liar, house on fire Locomotion, Poco, Passion, Deeper Purple, Satisfaction Baby baby gotta gotta gimme gimme gettin' hotter Sammy's cookin', Lesley Gore and Ritchie Valens, end of story Mahavishnu, fujiyama, kama-sutra, rama-lama Richard Perry, Spector, Barry, Archies, Righteous, Nilsson, Harry Shimmy shimmy ko-ko bop and Fats is back and Finger Poppin' George

And here I thought it was just because I was so good-looking! George

In the 80's, I was an Advanced Class Grad and Twig Leader, and it was apparently OK for me to date Corps women. Not that there were many around. I didn't really see much micromanagement of my personal life until the mid 90's, when the Corps were all salaried and had too much time on their hands. George

Bing Crosby? George

"The Ten Commandments" Why, this car is Auto-matic. Its System-matic. Its Hyyyyydro-matic! George

I think it's "Baby It's Cold Outside." It's an old jazz standard, but I couldn't give a particular performer. George

Having seen "Rain Man," that wasn't the line I would have picked as a giveaway, but apparently is was to Raf WordWolf. I was thinking of Al Pacino, blind, driving around in a sportscar. I eagerly await RafWolf's clue. :lol: George

"Scent of a Woman"? George

A bank executive pulls off a multi-million dollar heist, only to be cased by a sexy insurance investigator. He promises to meet her in six months atop the Empire State Building, where he will reveal all. George

It is. George

"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Encounters of the Third Kind" George

Well, there are no movies titled "Thunder Close" or "Roar Close," so I have no idea. George

Hannie Caulder Raquel Welch The Three Musketeers (early 70's) George

It is, in fact, "Eureka." Home of Global Dynamics, the world's greatest "think tank," where something bad ALWAYS happens, and it usually takes the clever (but not brilliant) sheriff to save the day. You're up. George

No. "Leverage" is a great show, by the way. Archimedes would have named this show while stepping naked in a tub and noticing the water rise. George
