The Beatles – Happy Birthday
So the Palais de Porc has turned two today, who’d have thought. A sanctuary where we can all write and post in peace. We can laugh, cry, be happy or sad or share much about ourselves or musical tastes.
Thought I’d look to youtube for some inspiration here. Incredible! Singing dogs, cats even a cockatiel. Someone singing Happy Birthday with their cat manages 2000000 hits! Shlock galore.
Anyhow Merv a round of trotters or pink drinks for everyone and bowls of wedges as you sit back and enjoy this little selection.
Window Dresser's Arms, Pig & Whistle 
Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place is absolutely packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice with his new audience, He asks if anyone would like him to play a request. A little old Japanese man jumps out of his seat in the first row and shouts at the top of his voice “Play a Jazz chord! Play a jazz chord!” Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in Stevie’s varied career, the blind impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes. When he finishes the whole place goes wild.
The little old man jumps up again and shouts “No, no, play a Jazz chord, play a Jazz chord.” A bit irritated by this, Stevie, being the professional that he is, dives straight into a jazz improvisation with his band around the B flat minor chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd goes wild with this impromptu show of his technical expertise.
The little old man jumps up again. “No, no. Play a Jazz chord, play a jazz chord!” Well now truly irritated that this little guy doesn’t seem to appreciate his playing ability. Stevie says to him from the stage “OK, mister, you get up here and do it!” The little old man climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of the mike and starts to sing… “A jazz chord to say I ruv you…”

He might have been in Japan…during the tsunami…And NO, I didn’t plan that retort. I just thought that a smart ars would point out that it was Wonder, that we were blogging about.
Steve Winwood Hole in my Shoe Lyrics:
I looked to the sky
Where an elephant’s eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water
(letting in water)

Very good Not Bob… reminds me of another Geordie joke:
Geordie gan’s tae see tha docta… He says, ‘Hoo, look doc, I’ve hort me foot!’
The docta says ‘Canya walk?’ and Geordie says ‘I cannot wahk nivver mind walk!’
(Maybe you had to be there; the joke depends on the Geordie pronunciation of the word ‘work’, which is homonymous with ‘walk’… the clue is the pronunciation of the word ‘hurt’ as ‘hort’… ‘Walk, in Geordie, is, of course, pronounced, ‘Wahk’…)
