Thanks to Jim Adams, for hosting Song Lyric Sunday. Random stuff… The weather is still yo-yoing from hot to rain. Ben is still having sleep issues. Daughter got her 3rd shot and her Flu shot, then got a fever and felt ucky enough that she called out of work. I had breakfast inside a Dennys with my mother on Friday morning. I hadn’t seen her since mid-late 2019, even though she lives in the same city. Her memory is slipping, so that’s going to be a Thing. Luckily she is aware and getting paperwork in order now. I have a difficult relationship with my mother… long story. My Primary Care doc says I’m very healthy. We’re reducing the Methotrexate from five pills to three pills and I’m allowed to have an occasional Adult Beverage, but since Methotrexate is an immunosuppressant I need to get the 3rd Kootie shot, I gained FIVE pounds (WOOT WOOT), and my normally high BP was 112/78. The nurse checked it twice to make sure. I guess that’s enough Cuckoo for now. My life is more bizarre than a “reality show”.

The prompt words for this week – Songs that feature wind instruments which includes Brass instruments (horns, trumpets, trombones, euphoniums, and tubas) and Woodwind instruments (recorders, flutes, oboes, clarinets, saxophones, and bassoons)

I didn’t have the usual struggle this week. I immediately knew I wanted to use the song Hot Patootie – Bless My Soul written by Richard O’Brien (aka Riff Raff) and performed by Meatloaf, from the movie soundtrack of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. What could be better for Halloween, right?! I know Melanie is a fellow RHPS fan, and she may use the song too, but honestly, I think all the songs are so great I could listen to them many times and never get tired of them.

RHPS is a 1975 movie released by 20th Century Fox, based on a play called The Rocky Horror Show written by Richard O’Brien. The movie was not initially well received but became a Cult favorite and has played at midnight showings continuously since it’s release.

I saw my first midnight showing when I was about 15. I really didn’t know what to expect, but I was hooked. The movie is available for streaming or on DVD now, but nothing beats seeing it in a theater with a shadow cast. Just make sure you bring all your props.

Whatever happened to Saturday Night
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright
It don’t seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine
I used to drive around with a chick who’d go
Listen to the music on the radio
A saxaphone was blowing on a rock ‘n’ roll show
You climbed in the back seat
Really had a good time

Hot Patootie – Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie – Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie – Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie – Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll

My head used to swim from the perfume I smelt
My hand’s kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt
I’d taste her baby pink lipstick and that’s when I’d melt
She’d whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine
Get back in front put some hair-oil on
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song
With your arms around you girl you try to sing along
You felt pretty good
Really had a good time

Hot Patootie – Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
(repeat)
