Happiness of Children is the Most Valuable Thing in the World

A Chinese Businessman has shared this image saying that Happiness of Children is the Most Valuable Thing in the World. A million dollar worth Lamborghini is nothing in front of that. So he allows the kids to jump on this Lamborghini. The best part is that the kids are not his...

Sukiyaki ~ What a Joke!

===.

.

. Sukiyaki ~ What a Joke! There's a famous song, Sukiyaki that hit number 1 in US in 1963. Its actual title is "Ue o Muite Arukō" which means "I Look Up As I Walk" is a Japanese-language song that was performed by Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto. If you look at the translation of the lyrics, it is basically a Sad Japanese Love Song. In English speaking countries, it is best known under the alternative title "Sukiyaki", a term with no relevance to the song's lyrics. (Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish of cooked beef.) Just imagine... it's just like taking a Sad American Love Song and naming it "Hamburger". 😂 On top of that, the Japanese Lyricist (Rokusuke Ei) wrote the lyrics while walking home from a Japanese student demonstration protesting against a continued US Army presence, expressing his frustration at the failed efforts... and this song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the United States in 1963. 😂 Source Link: Sukiyaki (song) ~ from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki_(song) .

. Lyrics: Ue o Muite Arukou The title means "I look up when I walk." The English title was changed to Sukiyaki because it was easier for Americans to say and associate with Japan. The English version called Sukiyaki is not a literal translation of the song and it is not the translation provided below. (Sukiyaki is actually food and has nothing to do with the song.) . . Japanese: Ue o muite arukou Namida ga kobore nai you ni  Omoidasu haru no hi  Hitoribotchi no yoru Ue o muite arukou Nijinda hoshi o kazoete  Omoidasu natsu no hi  Hitoribotchi no yoru Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni  Shiawase wa sora no ue ni Ue o muite arukou Namida ga kobore nai you ni  Nakinagara aruku  Hitoribotchi no yoru  (whistling) Omoidasu aki no hi  Hitoribotchi no yoru Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni  Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni Ue o muite arukou Namida ga kobore nai you ni  Nakinagara aruku  Hitoribotchi no yoru  (whistling) . . English: I look up as I walk So that the tears won't fall Remembering those spring days  But I am all alone tonight I look up as I walk  Counting the stars with tearful eyes  Remembering those summer days  But I am all alone tonight Happiness lies beyond the clouds  Happiness lies up above the sky I look up as I walk  So that the tears won't fall  Though the tears well up as I walk For tonight I'm all alone tonight (whistling) Remembering those autumn days  But I am all alone tonight Sadness lies in the shadow of the stars  Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon I look up as I walk  So that the tears won't fall  Though the tears well up as I walk For tonight I'm all alone  (whistling) . .

I will establish my covenant with you,  that never again shall all bodily creatures be destroyed by the waters of a flood;  there shall not be another flood to devastate the earth." God added: "This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come,  of the covenant between me and you  and every living creature with you:  I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth,  and the bow appears in the clouds,  I will recall the covenant I have made between me and you and all living beings,  so that the waters shall never again become a flood  to destroy all mortal beings." Responsorial PsalmPS 25:4-5, 6-7, 8-9. R. (cf. 10) Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth to those who keep your covenant. Your ways, O LORD, make known to me; teach me your paths, Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior. R. Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth to those who keep your covenant. Remember that your compassion, O LORD, and your love are from of old. In your kindness remember me, because of your goodness, O LORD. R. Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth to those who keep your covenant. Good and upright is the LORD, thus he shows sinners the way. He guides the humble to justice, and he teaches the humble his way. R. Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth to those who keep your covenant. Reading 2 1 PT 3:18-22 Beloved: Christ suffered for sins once,  the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous,  that he might lead you to God. Put to death in the flesh,  he was brought to life in the Spirit. In it he also went to preach to the spirits in prison,  who had once been disobedient  while God patiently waited in the days of Noah  during the building of the ark,  in which a few persons, eight in all, were saved through water. This prefigured baptism, which saves you now. It is not a removal of dirt from the body  but an appeal to God for a clear conscience,  through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God,  with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him. Verse Before The GospelMT 4:4B One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. GospelMK 1:12-15 The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert,  and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan. He was among wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him. After John had been arrested,  Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: "This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." .

English Word ~ Putative

Definition of putative.

1 : commonly accepted or supposed.

2 : assumed to exist or to have existed

Example:

Although the RKO Picture version of the Tarzan yell was putatively that of Weissmuller, different stories exist as to how the Tarzan Yell was created. Many speculate that a man named Lloyd Thomas Leech was the original voice behind the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Tarzan Yell. He was an opera singer from the 1940s into the '60s, winning the Chicagoland Music Festival on August 17, 1946, and going on to sing throughout the U.S., touring with several opera companies. There are recordings of his recollections of creating the Tarzan yell, a story supported by his children and grandchildren.^[1] According to the newspaper columnist L. M. Boyd (circa 1970), "Blended in with that voice are the growl of a dog, a trill sung by a soprano, a note played on a violin's G string and the howl of a hyena recorded backward." According to Bill Moyers, it was created by combining the recordings of three men: one baritone, one tenor, and one hog caller from Arkansas.^[2] Another widely published notion concerns the use of an Austrianyodel played backwards at abnormally fast speed. But Weissmuller claimed that the yell was actually his own voice. His version is supported by his son and by his Tarzan co-star, Maureen O'Sullivan.

~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan_yell

===.

A comical version of this yell was performed by Ray Stevens in his 1969 novelty hit "Gitarzan".

~  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan_yell

Ray Stevens - Gitarzan (Original)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v8sDd7DSl8

"Gitarzan" is from the album called Gitarzan and was Rays' fourth studio album, released in 1969, as well as his second for Monument Records. Unlike his previous album, "Even Stevens", this album is completely in the genres of novelty and comedy. Although this is a true studio album, all of the songs are overdubbed with cheering and applauding of an audience to provide the feeling of a live album.

Tarzan Joke:

TARZAN YELL - Johnny Weissmuller at RKO Studios

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6thZbNv148

When Johnny Weissmuller changed studios, from MGM to RKO, his famous Tarzan yell changed too. Luckily for Tarzan, the elephants could still understand him...

Comments:

John Molloy

2 years ago

The RKO studios bought Weissmuller's contract from MGM, but MGM wouldn't sell Johnny's original and most famous Tarzan "call". Being a champion yodeler, Johnny just came up with another one, which wasn't as good , but wasn't that bad either.

Bert Lambert

2 months ago (edited)

Johnny insisted that he will do his own Yell since he did not like the Yell that was made up for him...so the productions went on afterwards with his very own yell..the rest is history..Now...MY GOOD FRIEND..Jerry Skinner ..the best biographer..TAKE over from here...

Rene Bruckner

5 years ago

Yes, for his later RKO movies like this one, Weissmuller recorded his own voice. For the earlier MGM movies, the yell was manufactured and really no one knows for sure whose voice(s) it was made of, or if it was even human.

. Long Version Joke ~ Overreact Daughter: sent pix of ovary with caption,  "Sorry, ovary reacted" .. Dad: This is true. Only women overreact. (overreact = ovary act) You see, only women have ovaries. Because they have ovaries, they are very good in acting. It is very difficult...  to take them seriously. They... Pretend to cry. Pretend don't know how to drive. Pretend to drive anyhow. Pretend cannot park. Pretend cannot open bottle. Pretend cannot open door. Pretend to drop handkerchief. Pretend eye got problem so blink-blink. The reason why  they 'overreact'  is because... (this I not bluffing,  this is in dictionary) 'overreact' means to... "respond more emotionally  or forcibly than is justified" ... this is true because we all know that women are very emotional. ... and this is also true because...  because... they got ovaries mah! .
