I have a friend who's married to a Lebanese man. I learned a lot of Lebanese recipes from her and got on a kick where I ate nothing but Lebanese food for practically every meal..... One day I called her singing:
"I think I'm turning Lebanese
I think I'm turning Lebanese
I really think so!"
That's not the song, though, it's "I think I'm turning Japanese" (at least I *think* that's the name of the song) and I believe it's by The Talking Heads?
I proposed to Lucy at a Vince Vance and the Valiants concert. I had worked it out with Vince ahead of time that he would get me on stage to sing "It's Now or Never" and then propose. She couldn't turn me down in front of thousands of people!

I always knew you were a romantic, George! What a lucky wife you have! She must be awfully special to have reeled you in. :)
So you were in tight with Vince and the Valiants? That's cool!! I remember Elvis's version because, well, because I'm from Mississippi and only about an hour south of his hometown!
Okay - here's my lyric:
We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you've been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

A little before your time, WW?
Sounds like "Bony Maroni" by Little Richard.

That's correct (and correct.)
If you saw the movie "La Bamba", Ritchie Valens mentions covering it
in passing.
*outside local bar*
"I thought I'd start with 'Bony Maronie'."
"'Bony Maronie'? To THESE sh*-stompers????"
Yours, George.

I don't know if this counts as a "tune," but it got a lot of airplay in the 70's:
Chris Schenkel, don't sing nothin'

No, a tune it ain't, for sure.

"I Think I'm Turning Japanese" was the one hit from "the Vapors".
If it's the right song, then Belle got it (see the previous post.)

This is a first, isn't it? I think WW should get it since he knew the band. :blink:

Okay - here's one and if anyone watched a recent PBS show it will be a cinch to guess:
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
