Hellooooo, y'all! I hardly slept last night so I am in DORK MODE, you have been warned 🤪 But anyway, Miss Special hit me with this tag right after I got back from an exhausting trip last week, and it's taken me until now to get around to it. But here I am so LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED WOOOOOOO 🥳

Der Rules:

• Write ten songs that come on shuffle (no skipping) 
• Write your favorite lyric from each song 
• Tag some people

Soooo, the only playlist I have (aside from my slowly growing WWII Christmas one) is my other, generic WWII playlist. I know which order all the songs are on the list because I've listened to it so much 😆 but let's shuffle it and have some fun! I'm not gonna link the songs because I'm being lazy and that would be too much work. 😆

1.) As Time Goes By

So my version is instrumental, but the original (from Casablanca) does have lyrics. They're pretty sappy but I like the first stanza best 😆

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

2.) Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)

OH YEAHHHHH ANDREWS SISTERS!!!

Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me, no, no, no
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
'Til I come marchin' home

3.) Hot Time in the Town of Berlin

Ooh, Bing Crosby! This one's fun because it references several other songs. Fun fact I've been through Kokomo Indiana! This is the only song I know of that references that town.

They're gona start a row, and show 'em how
We paint the town back in Kokomo
They're gonna take a hike through Hitler's Reich
And change that heil to whatcha-know-Joe
There'll be a hot time in the town of Berlin
When the Yanks go marching in
You could never keep 'em happy down on the farm
After they take Berlin

4.) Sleepy Lagoon

MY ALL-TIME FAVEEEEEE SO PRETTY 🥰😍 And this one's instrumental, so I can't share any lyrics. 😜

5.) Sing, Sing, Sing

Most of the lyrics in this are absolute nonsense and I have no idea how to translate them into words. 😆

6.) Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer
With our full crew aboard
And our trust in the Lord
We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer

7.) Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

Yay, more Andrews Sisters! Funny thing, I heard this on the radio at the orthodontic office once - crazy!

Puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright
They clap their hands and stamp their feet
Because they know how he plays when someone gives him a beat
He really breaks it up when he plays reveille
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B

8.) I Remember You

This one's sappy too. 😛

I remember you
You're the one who said
I love you too
I do, didn'tcha know?

9.) Amor

*melts at the sound of Bing's rich voice* 🫠

Amor, amor, amor
This word so sweet that I repeat
Means I adore you
Amor, amor, my love
Would you deny
This heart that I
Have placed before you

10.) Keep the Home Fires Burning

Keep the home fires burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark clouds inside out
'Til the boys come home

And that's it, y'all! Hope you enjoyed this week's installment of insomnia-fueled dorkiness. But before we go, imma tag Katja! I think she's already done a tag like this before, but it was a while ago, so we're just gonna pick on her again. 😜
