Lol... She's the person I'll be replacing (she's retiring), so that part doesn't matter. She's the same one who in the past has played opera so loud in her office that my flesh used to crawl (along with my officemate's) in the office next to her..

Yesterday my boss lent me a 4-CD set of jazz music, samples from the early roots to the present. While I'm not a huge jazz fan I can definitely listen to and appreciate it, and can pick out particular songs. Anyway, last night on this set I discovered this gem. Bessie Jones and "The Buzzard Lope":

For a lot of the day today I can't get the refrain of Sedaka's "Laughter in the Rain" out of my head... "Oooooh, I hear laughter in the rain...."

Foster, Preston

*Titanic*

*My Reputation*

*I could have sworn you spelled it the other day as "Neal" Sedaka.* He did a little further down on the thread, and when I responded I spelled it as "Neil". Since finance probably knows that I'm always right no matter what, he must have changed it...

*His Girl Friday* next: drink mixer (that a bartender shakes)

Ben Gazzara (I admit to cheating on this one and looking the film up on IMDB, but wanted to kick the thread back into circulation )

*Under Capricorn*

Cooper, Gary

Margaret Sullavan was in THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER with Jimmy Stewart

Okay, time for an admission: I used to love this Neil Sedaka song (still kind of like it, in fact) - "Bad Blood":

Spencer Tracy was in 20,000 YEARS IN SING SING with Bette Davis

Phew. Well, if William Shatner could cover "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", I can't rule anything out.

The eyebrows make me think of Ray Milland, who's Scottish-born...

Anthony Quinn was in REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT with Mickey Rooney

No way - were these two different songs or did Neil Sedaka really cover the Led Zepplin tune? That's an atrocity! :^0

(THE) PICKWICK PAPERS

Faye Dunaway was in THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR with Steve McQueen

CALIFORNIA (1947)

NO MAN OF HER OWN (1932 or 1950, two different movies)

Another Led Zepplin favorite of mine is also an unusual choice, because it's so subdued - "Tangerine": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ_JAgHxR14 (The other song in my "top three" is "Stairway to Heaven" - a masterpiece. I like the harder-edged ones too but I have to listen to them in smaller doses, they are so powerful)

Doris Day was in LOVER COME BACK with Rock Hudson ( )
