Here you have your answer! (2)

It's been a long time that I posted here I noticed (sorry for that delay..) - and it's been even a longer time since I started this series: Here you have your answer - in which NOT SOPHISTICATED features the wonderful genre of answer songs. 

Just by the way - I decided to take this as the series icon:

Hope you'll like it, too!?!

One of the most famous answer songs is the one I'll post about today - well, I guess it's one of the most famous..

Neil Sedaka had a hit with a song which was inspired by and dedicated to his then girl-friend Carole King.

Let's listen to that song - it's of course OH! CAROL: 

I not only like Neil Sedaka's songs - but I also happen to be a fan of Carole King - and I love the answer song she gave. I think it's quite funny. 

As you might have noticed the song's "Carol" misses/leaves out the last "e" of the "real" Carole's name. So Carole King had her "revenge" (in a more playful meaning of course) by calling Neil Sedaka "Neil Sedaky" in her spoof version...

Here she is - let's listen to OH! NEIL:

I think I don't know much (love) songs containing a girl speaking of chewing tobacco, eating too much and molasses.. 

Thank you very much for listening!

Yours truly

Irene

Good bye, Davy Jones!

Merry Christmas!

I doubt that your tree is as big as the one of John F. Kennedy and Jackie.. 

- But I certainly hope you had a great time with all your love ones - no matter what age or species!

Yours

Irene

I can't help but love this album!

Don't you just adore Frank Sinatra? I sure do - and I also love the Sinatra Family Christmas album!

I especially love this song:

and this Italian song:

 and for the purist (not from this album) the classic Frank Sinatra:

Hope you're enjoying some nice Christmas songs, too!

Irene

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to one of the prettiest girls of the 1960s:

Grace Slick!

*1939

And of course - a clip of Jefferson Airplane!!

A lovely Sunday to all of you!!
