It's time to get something off my chest.......

[Bullwinkle925]

Last nite DanCa made the hugh admission to liking Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond.

I can no longer ignore my 'inner musical self' and know that I must come out of the closet in order to bask in the light of truth!


So - here goes....................................


Ok, Ok, Ok - I know I can do this.



I (sob) used to adore (sniffle) Englebert Humperdinck.



Am I still allowed in the Lounge? :cry:

1. I think there's a support group for that

:silly:

My mom always played him when I was growing up. When I hear him at the doctor's office or in a restaurant, I always have the urge to sing along.

2. Ahahahaha!!

I like Neil Diamond too. Barry Manilow...:puke:

Don't know about Englebert Humperdinck.

[Hugin]

5. Neil Diamond!

:thumbsup: (Note: I'm on a :thumbsup: binge today... Please, bear with me!)

I even liked his movie about his life.

[Shell Beau]

6. I didn't see that movie, I don't think!

:thumbsup: ;)

[Hugin]

8. What? A movie you haven't seen!?!?!

OMG!

Seriously, I can't even remember what it was called... I think it
was titled after one of his songs.

Apparently, his family wanted him to be a Cantor instead of a Pop-singer.
He had a falling out and divorce with his wife and later married a different woman.

It was interesting and I guess made during the late 1970's... I'll have to look it
up sometime.

9. Well I was made in the late 70's too! That might

be why I can't remember seeing it! ;)


I just sent you a telegram over at the NationStates.

[Hugin]

10. Ah, here it is...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080948/ "The Jazz Singer" (1980)

Ah, it wasn't autobiographical... Heh, well... That's nice to know. ;)

11. Saving Silverman?

3. Hold your head up high

I will admit to having a bizarre love of Haley Mills movies and no one better say a damn thing ugly about Don Knotts. Love him.....

[Bullwinkle925]

13. me too - i love all his movies.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I not only like Barry Manilow, but I've seen him live in concert.

And I bought a shirt. My friends made terrible fun of me, but he put on an outstanding show!:woohoo:

And I'd do it again. So there.:P

There are a lot of us out there, and it's long past time we all came out of the closet...:hi:

[kmla]

7. I kinda like Englebert as well....

Although, I think DanCa is kinda out in the wilderness with the Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond stuff...:D

Although, in the spirit of full disclosure, I must admit to liking certain Neil Sedaka tunes. & The Carpenters. & Bread.

Mock me also, if you must.

I have (metaphorically) thick skin.

[Bullwinkle925]

12. Now that you've brought it up - I also adore Sedaka and

Lou Christy and cannot resist the urge to sing along with
Gene Pitney!!!!






sigh - those really were the good ole days!

[edbermac]

14. Well Neil Diamond is okay, but Barry Manilow???

:puke:
