A little article about MELLOW YELLOW. All the rumours, and some of the ( shocking ) truth (yes I’m having click bait fun / but if you read the article you’ll find out why).
On my own (never mentioned in the article) saffron is a spice that is usually of a yellow colour when purchased in the supermarket.
Susie-Q is the worst…. that’s from cheek-pinching uncles, and Susie is from bullying classmates who called me Susie Sunshine.
There’s only one “Susie” song I like… I don’t know why, but I’ve liked it since I was 12…
“Wake up Little Susie” by the Everly Brothers.
And one person is allowed to call me Suzie, and that’s because everything he says is fractured anyway… and that’s the Monkey… i.e. Sheriff MonkeyBlues.
Here’s some film documenting that meeting of Tuesday, September 24, 1929 on the set of “City Lights”.
The frame from which the colourized still is taken does not appear, although area does; the film also documents four other encounters as well. I shut off the sound; I couldn’t stand the music chosen to accompany it.
A genius, one of the funniest people who ever wrote… and maybe only a shade less brilliant than he thought he was, which still puts him way above most mortals, IMHO.
A favorite line: “I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
..
He didn’t deserve what the world did to him… I like to think that today he’d be deservedly rich and famous, without any suggestion of infamy.
Until you see this compilation of their appearances, you don’t realize how great a “Greek Chorus” part NAT KING COLE and STUBBY KAYE actually had in the human version of the movie.

Boy, do I want another look at THIS movie! You’re darn right Lee Marbone steals the picture. But only every scene he’s in.
Yayy! You did it!! (posted your images, that is…)
I tried to post the first a month ago (when the name on the dog tag was perhaps more relevant). I’m sure you still miss him though.
I absolutely still miss him. I think about him every single day. Thanks for posting that “Max” toon! I saved it.
Another song people sang at me. Sigh….
Didn’t make me hate it, though.
Fun song. 🙂

There’s a saffron farm in OREGON.
I keep forgetting my closing )’s that’s why the edit
And the farming of saffron helps farmers in Afghanistan formerly farming poppy.
Wake up, Creamcheese… 😉
You know she hates being called Suzie.
Absolutely, thanks.

Mellow Yellow? Why?
I always liked Mellow Yellow
I really want an electrical banana
Now you’ve done it: Earworm.
I do have the original single (from my late sister, 10 years older than me)…
Did you read Alex’s Wikipedia article? ;o)

One of my literary heroes.

“I’m a man of simple tastes. I’m always satisfied with the best.”
We could trade them all night… he was that good.
Some are a bit cynical for my taste, but that’s often what makes them funny, if bitter.
Can’t blame him for being bitter, though, after being jailed when he should have been celebrated.
“’To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.”
..and now for something completely different!
I’m just reading John Cleese’s autobiography…
eeeek!
A little bodybuilder with a glandular problem.
Nice… but a bit mellow.
I gotta go with Patti Smith…. from her it’s more like an anthem.
The original is always the best.
I still like hearing covers. Especially if i already like the artist doing singing!
Patti Smith, Kate Bush, Nina Hagen, Youn-Sun Nah…
An unmistakable voice. Of course you know “Wuthering Heights”?
I only saw it once. Lee Marbone stole the show.
The crooning of Nat King Collie is always worth a listen.

Don’t be silly. It was the drunken horse that stole the show! Won an Oscar for it.
A very enjoyable movie! Jane Hounda and Lee Marbone team up to shoot up the town. Only to save it from the bad guys.
I’m all over the place tonight.
Brought over from yesterday’s “Ripley’s…”
Another great poster today… It’s Dog Ballou!
This one credits Nighthawks, as well as StelBel….
so I guess they both contributed.
And wow! It’s animated!
A great job… and such a huge cast listing, too.
Gotta take a walk past the BassetPlexIV to see how it looks outside the theater….
How do they make it move, inside those glass poster cases?
…
It’s such a funny movie.
Who can forget that tin nose?
How did he sniff other dog’s bu…. I mean…. oh you know… how did he sniff…. stuff?
And just look at the beautiful young Jane Hounda.
….
I remember being kind of startled to see Dwayne Hickbasset.
I always associate him with his starring role in “Doberman Gillis” ….
and before that, in what was possibly my Mom’s favorite TV comedy, when I was a puppy… er..I mean… a kid: “Love That Dog.”
…
As for the human poster…. I see that it’s in Italian.
Was it only the Italians who attempted to copy it?
(I do know they’ll try anything over there.)
And why do the humans call her a CAT, when she’s obviously human?
Is it merely an attempt to thumb their noses at the basset movie?
I’m not sure whether dogs know what thumbing noses means… after all, they don’t HAVE thumbs.
(Although Cleo Clifford certainly seems to use whatever serves as a thumb-like part of her paws to great advantage.)
Well, they do have noses. Plenty of noses.
NOSE!
I will allow the ballad its exaggeration.
You do know that not every city grows indefinitely? Some shrink (or disappear).

Alpine marmots in Hohe Tauern National Park, Austria
BING picture of the day, 2-2-2023
Are mountain hogs as good at weather forecasting as groundhogs?
Nope…
That middle one looks like he’s fretting about something….maybe the weather?
Maybe… cos the original animal in the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition was a badger anyway…
The groundhog is a variety of marmot, so those Alpine guys are much closer relatives of Punxsutawney Phil than is any badger.
Marmota marmota vs. Marmota monax vs Taxidea taxus — much closer…
