lindasusan,

Got it, finally. Don't remember Napoleon XIV. But you're right it's silly!

Oh, that's a good one, Lindasusan! Thanks for hunting it down and sharing it. I wonder what ever happened to Shelley Fabares?

I'm such a music lover, I really enjoyed reading all of these posts and I got a good chuckle out of Anne's story about "They're coming to take me away ha ha..."

It brought to mind a funny story from my past that I hadn't thought about in so many years until I read these posts! I was ridiculously young when I married my first husband. The ceremony performed by the minister was short and sweet, with only immediate family members present. We hopped into the car to spend the brief weekend honeymooning, and as soon as he put the key into the ignition and started the car, I said, "Okay. I'm going to turn on the radio, and the first song that comes on will be our song forever!" He readily agreed.

This was 1969, and I was expecting something like "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday" or I would have even been happy with "Sweet Caroline." Instead, the most ludicrous song came blasting out over the air waves: "Guitarzan" (and his jungle band) by Ray Stevens. We both laughed so hard that this was "our song." If you don't remember it, Google it, watch the video and you'll see why this was such a joke. It was probably the most unromantic song ever. Perhaps it was an omen!!! The marriage lasted only 7 years, which was miraculous in itself.

Now that I think of it, when I married my second (and final) husband, our song was "With You I'm Born Again" by Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright, chosen by my wonderful guy. We'll celebrate 33 blissful years in July. I just Googled this song, listened to it on Youtube and fell in love with my husband all over again! Thanks, Anne!!!

Thanks for sharing your funny story, and I am so happy the second marriage worked out a lot better!
