Papa, why do you play all the same old songs
Why do you sing with the melody
'Cause down on the street something' goin' on
There's a brand new beat and a brand new song
In my life there was so much anger
Still I have no regrets
Just like you, I was such a rebel
So dance your own dance and never forget
N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
Every generation ha its way
A need to disobey
N'oubliez jamais
It's in your destiny
A need to disagree
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jamais
Mama, why do you dance to the same old songs
Why do you sing only harmony
'Cause down on the street something's goin' on
There's a brand new beat and a brand new song
In my heart there's a young girls passion
For a life long duet
Someday soon someone's smile will haunt you
So sing your own song and never forget
N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
Every generation ha its way
A need to disobey
N'oubliez jamais
It's in your destiny
A need to disagree
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jamais
What is this game
Searching for love or fame
That's all the same
One of this days
You say that
Love will be the cure
I'm not so sure
N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
Every generation ha its way
A need to disobey
N'oubliez jamais
It's in your destiny
A need to disagree
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jamais
Ah, Catherine Deneuve. When I was a junior in college, I was studying in Florence, Italy and met a girl from San Diego who was a dead ringer for the young Catherine (very close to this).
We had a torrid dating life of exactly one night because I had to go to Rome the next day. But even after 41 years, and very happily married for almost all of them to a beautiful woman I met the next year, I still remember her very well. Her name was Anita T.
If you ever saw this scene from Citizen Kane, you will know what I mean.
My only disappointment with the lovely Anita is when we were sitting together in the evening on a park bench. No one else was around. The moon was almost full. It was a wonderful moment until she said, "I am glad to see the moon from the other side of the world from my home. I always wondered what the far side of the moon looks like."
True story.
But trust me, I very quickly ignored her deficient knowledge of planetary mechanics.

And every time, they are indeed, wonderful.
No exception here- Joe C. was always known for Woodstock & his other 'top 40s'; this is one not to be missed, but sadly, most have/will.
Never forget...
Twenty-nine seconds, and an immediate sore throat. Hip or not, I can't listen to the growlers. Sorry.

For what's right, appropriate for the situation, sets the rule for that circumstance.
Agree Rob. Never understood how that boy, and Rod Stewart, made a living off their voices.
