There are a few snippets of lyrics I'll search for, every now and then. Just to see if someone has written something online since the last time I checked (and probably came up empty).
The search string this time -- a long one -- was, "wouldn't it be heavenly to know the constellations." It had to be that long, just to get to something that might be unique.
And, mirabile dictu, I got a hit.
See, that fragment comes from a song I now know was titled, "The Constellation Jig." I heard it a lot in about 4th grade, because my homeroom teacher of the time would let me listen to a set of LP phonographs, once I was done with my classwork. "Singing Science Records," they were called.
Like that page says, they "were very Atomic Age," at a time that meant something.

This is "Sous L'Oeil De L'Ange," by K-maro. It's somewhat like Gypsy Kings meets hip-hop, in French. I first heard it on SR Sverige... Which I'll explain more about later. It was a channel on Swedish Radio. Just wanted to take advantage of a small amount of downtime.
A first post. Haven't done one of those for a while.
This is for Maggy. Because I know she likes stories, and this is a very good one.
I'm not sure where I found out about Fabulist, but one of the first times I was there I ran across this post about Looper.
If you find the accent a bit thick, they have a transcript, but I find working through the lovely Scots accent to be well worth the effort.
