    Huh, the link seems defective. Oh well, on three then:


    Sha la la lala lalala
    Sha la la lala lalala
    Sha la la lala lalala

    When the day is dawningon a Texas Sunday morning
    how I long to be there
    with Marie who's waiting for me there
    every lonely city where I hang my hat
    ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at

    Is this the way to Amarillo
    every night I've been hugging my pillow
    dreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me
    show me the way to Amarillo
    I've been weeping like a willow
    crying over Amarillo
    and sweet Marie who waits for me

    Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
    Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me

    There's a church bell ringing
    hear the song of joy that it's singing
    for the sweet Mariaand the guy who's coming to see her
    just beyong the highway, there's an open plain
    and it keeps me going through the wind and rain

    Is this the way to Amarillo
    every night I've been hugging my pillow
    dreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me
    show me the way to Amarillo
    I've been weeping like a willow
    crying over Amarillo
    and sweet Marie who waits for me

    Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
    Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me

    Don't forget to clap or bang something twice after each "Sha la la lala lalala". Very important that.

    In his novel "Nausea", J-P. Sartre quotes two or three lines of a gramophone song which has the magic power to dispel nausea: "Some of these days you'll miss me honey" and "When the low moon begins to beam / Every night I dream a little dream". What song is this and where can I hear it?

    On some American Bandstand shows from the mid-to-late 1970s, they'd come back from break after whoever had 'performed' live, and Dick Clark would do a 10 to 15 second tease for whatever was coming up in the second half, and then the camera would pan across the audience, who'd all be clapping and swaying to the same song. It's a funky-synth instrumental song I've heard maybe 3 times on the radio, but I've never heard the artist/title announced. Anyone know this?

    The year was 1962. The song was "Dream Baby." On which show was the song being performed, and who was singing it?
