Quotation of the Day for February 14, 2013The boys were singing shing-a-ling The summer night we met You were tan and seventeen O how could I forget When every star from near and far Was watching from above Watching two teenagers fall in love The way we danced was not a dance But more a long embrace We held on to each other and We floated there in space And I was shy to kiss you while The whole wide world could see So shing-a-ling said everything for me - Jesse Winchester, from his song Sham-A-Ling-Dong-Ding. [See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uKGWpqnS8E for a video of Winchester performing the song on Elvis Costello's "Spectacle".] Submitted by: Terry Labach Mar. 22, 2012  |
