Anyone in the mood for a Frank Sinatra sing-a-long...

[Longgrain]

I'll start, with one of my faves...

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond’ring in the night
What were the chances we’d be sharing love
Before the night was through.

Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in your socks was so exciting,
Something in my hat,
Told me I must have you.

Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -

Ever since that night we’ve been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night

Guess I'm turning into a regular Lounge lizard...

Hoping to hear a little "Summer Wind" soon...

[Marnieworld]

1. okie

The Summer Wind
Came blowing in
From across the sea
It Lingered there
to touch your hair
and walk with me

All Summer long
We sang a song
And then we strolled that golden sand
Two Sweethearts and the summer wind

[Longgrain]

5. Ah....

Thank you!

That's what I was longing to hear...

[WCGreen]

20. That opening scene in Pope of Greenwich Village

with Mickey Rourke picking out the right outfit from his closet was just classic film making and classic use of a Sinatra song....

[Cats Against Frist]

2. WOAHHHHHHHHHHHH clickity clack

3. from Sinatra's Swingin' Sessions...

Ol' mac donald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o
And on this farm there was a chick
The prettiest chick I know
With a little curve here and a little curve there
This chick she had curves everywhere
Ol' mac donald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

And oh this chick she had to walk, e-i-e-i-o
And how this walk would drive 'em wild swinging to and fro
With a little wiggle here and a little wiggle there
Man this chick had wiggles to spare
Ol' mac donald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

When she went walking into town, e-i-e-i-o
The local gentry popped their eyes
Tarnation what a show
With a goldang here and a goshdarn there
Heavens to betsy I do declare
Ol' mac donald had a farm e-i-e-i-o

There was a barn dance saturday night, e-i-e-i-o
And the fellows came from miles around
Just to see her dosey-do
With a promenade here and a promenade there
At a square dance, boy, this chick was no square
Ol' macdonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

I used to be a travelling man, e-i-o,
Until I hit macdonald's place
Things were mighty slow
With a little chick here and a little chick there
I didn't have a real chick anywhere
Ol' macdonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

This farmer's daughter knocked me out, e-i-e-i-o
I asked macdonald for her hand
And pop, he hollered "go!"
With a little curve here and a little wiggle there
A goldang here and a goshdarn there
A dosey-do here and a promenade there
Got my own private county fair
'cause ol' macdonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

4. Fly Me To The Moon

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

[Longgrain]

7. Another great one!

Loving it so far!

[progmom]

6. Mood Indigo

You ain't been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye.
In the evenin' when lights are low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I'm just a soul who's
bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.

[Longgrain]

8. Hee-hee

Love that pic...

I think Frankie understood the inner workings of Nancy a little better than Ronnie did. :7

LOL!

[RagingInMiami]

9. My favorite Sinatra song

That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.

I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My

[progmom]

13. now those are some curtains

i mean...really!

[RetroLounge]

19. No shit! First thing I noticed were the curtains

RL

[Marnieworld]

10. Ahem..

My Way

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My Friends, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did, what I had to do
And saw it through, without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were time I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside, I find it all soooo amusing
To think I did it all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh no, no not me I did it my way

For what is a man?
What has he got?
If not himself, then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
and not the words of one who kneels
The record show I took the blows
and did it My Way

Yes it was My Way

[fluffernutter]

11. i love Fly Me to the Moon and this one:

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

[Longgrain]

12. Oh!

Another one of my faves!

Keep 'em coming guys!

;-)

[RagingInMiami]

14. Another favorite of mine that gets me singing

You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king, you might possess, the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness, when you're growing old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love

[progmom]

15. love this

Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up is underway
Wait till out lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
Come the day that your mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain that cup dry
Wait till your charms are right, for the arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I hold you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine

[RagingInMiami]

16. I love that song

[progmom]

17. after the breakup with Ava

I’m a fool to want you
I’m a fool to want you
To want a love that can’t be true
A love that’s there for others too

I’m a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that devil has known

Time and time again I said I’d leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say

Take me back, I love you
...i need you
I know it’s wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can’t get along

Without you

[Zomby Woof]

18. Mob Rules

No wait, that's the Sabbath song about Sinatra...

[bettyellen]

21. Let's Swing w/ Franks Special Bawdy Version of Teach Me Tonight!!

Frank Sinatra - Teach Me Tonight Lyrics
Writer(s): cahn/de paul


Did you say (that) I?ve got a lot to learn
Well don?t think I?m trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight

Starting with the abc of it
Getting right down to the xyz of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight

The sky?s a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I?ll use that star to write "i love you"
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn?t very clear my love
Teachers shouldn?t stand so near my love
Graduation?s almost here my love
You?d better teach me tonight

I?ve played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I?ve also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight

I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight

The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there?s no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two

What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You?d better teach me tonight

What do you get for lessons
Teach me - come on and teach me - teach me tonight

[City Lights]

22. I've Got You Under My Skin. One of my personal favs.

I’ve got you under my skin
I’ve got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you’re really a part of me
I’ve got you under my skin

I’ve tried so not to give in
I’ve said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
That I’ve got you under my skin

I’d sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don’t you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
’cause I’ve got you under my skin

[RagingInMiami]

23. Here's another one of my favorites

I'm gonna live till I die
I'm gonna laugh stead of cry
I'm gonna take the town turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die

They're gonna say what a guy
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing,gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live live live until I die

Those blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then Hallelujah
Gonna dance gonna fly
I'll take my chance riding high
Before my numbers up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die

Those blues I lay low,I'll make them stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then Hallelujah
Gonna dance gonna fly
I'll take my chance riding high
Before my numbers up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live until I die

[progmom]

24. ooh ooh - i love that too!

[City Lights]

25. Nice 'n' Easy.

Let's take it nice and easy
It's gonna be so easy
For us to fall in love

Hey baby what's your hurry
Relax and don't you worry
We're gonna fall in love

We're on the road to romance - that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way

The problem now of course is
To simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime
'cause nice and easy does it every time
