You know what's wrong with this lounge - not enough threads about Neil Diamond

I don't care what anyone says, pound for pound Neil Diamond music is some of the best happy music out there







So give it up for the man

Since you mentioned it, I will confess that my number one all time favorite xmas song is "Happy Xmas" (yes, the Lennon one, and yes, I somehow prefer Diamond's version of it, although I love Lennon too)

So, put that one on about now and enjoy!

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows.

Mary Lou Jane
Oh what a fine name
And you're nothing like them females
From Dover City
(nothin' at all)
Front teeth missin'
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)
You're more loyal than my dog Sam,
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hen house
and I guess it shows.

I can't forget (oh, no)
When we first met
Well, it was bull wrestling time
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o)
And I almost cried
When you took first prize
(first prize, sweetheart)
Well,
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go
(they never had a chance)

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hen house
I guess it shows.


Neil Diamond's a versatile musician, alright.

He is one of my favorite songwriters. He really knows how to write a song, and I mean *write* a song.

...that's plenty.

If more Neil Diamond threads are started, I will demand equal time for The Osmonds. With Jimmy included.

:D
