I am tempted out from my blog break by this hilarious email I received tonight - guaranteed to exercise even the laziest chuckle muscle.
Julie Andrews has given us a slight variation on her famous song from The Sound Of Music. I know exactly how she feels LOL. I feel like adding a piece about an artificial hip, removed appendix and two digital hearing aids..
Enjoy:
To commemorate her birthday, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan bsp's Radio City Music Hall
One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favourite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'.
Here are the lyrics she used : -
(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!
Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Cadillac's and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favourite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favourite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favourite things...
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favourite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd
that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores.
Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humour with others who would appreciate it)

I think she deserves a 10 out of 10. Agreed?
What a good sport she is.

(I'm going to try and muddle through the word verification...sigh. It's getting almost impossible to "guess" the Word Verifications because Blogger is making it hideously hard to let them know one isn't a robot! I don't like the new WV format.)
Agreed!
There's just too much truth in that son to be really funny! Oh well, if we don't laugh, I suppose we'll cry!
Hi Eddie, It's great to see you. I hope all's well with you andMrs. Bluelights and you're enjoying your break.
This a a fantastic song and I bet Julie Andrews did an amazing job singing it. What a hoot-- and all for such a great cause. Thanks for sharing it with us.
