I always assumed (I don’t know why) that they were from Ireland, but apparently they’re from Northern England and were quite popular in the late 70s through early 80s in the UK. “Come on Eileen” was a hit here in the US with a lot of airplay on MTV.
The ♫Aileen, turiay, tura, tura-talura♪ reminds me of a lullaby my mom used to sing:
♪Tura-lura lura♫ tura luralai ♪ tura lura lura ♫ hush now done you cry♫
♪Tura-lura lura♫ tura luralai ♪ tura lura lura ♫ that’s an Irish lullaby♫
So if you heard that before, ir would give credence to Dexy being Irish.
Depending on the shooting schedule of “Them”, Leonard Nimoy would be 22 or 23 here.
His movie rank of staff sergeant is carried over from his real life. He achieved the rank of staff sergeant in the two years he was in the United States Army.
Imperial ~ please aka Kaiser’s crown. Different plant.
I recognized them at once because we had them in our garden. Different pattern compared to F. meleagris.
Feel free to delete and repost; I don’t mind.
I used to have a print of this painting, also labelled “Fritillaries in a Copper Vase”… I remember cos I’d never heard of “fritillaries”, and I liked the word.
Looking it up just now, I see it called that, or sometimes “Imperial Fritillaries in a Copper Vase” which might be what you mean it should be called… it’s a bit hard to follow.
That makes sense, but many sites do use the shorter name.
…
But if you’re saying it should have a different title, because somebody mislabeled the flower, it might have been Van Gogh, or its original buyer, or the museum where it resides, or in any case, not StelBel.
If Van Gogh called it “Six Blue Elephants” I’d call it “Six Blue Elephants.”
Thanks, Susan, for providing your response……my thoughts exactly and I couldn’t have said it any better.
Tigressy, I think your disagreement about the flowers in the painting should be taken up with Van Gogh’s estate, museums, and online search engines. I’ll let the title that I typed up above stay as-is since BING and Google offer that as the correct title, apparently intended by Van Gogh.
Sorry, but I have to wonder why we’re still talking about this…
If I find a picture online with a title, unless I truly have other information, I just post it with the title I found.
I’m pretty sure that’s what Stel did, too.
…
As I said, when I googled it, about half the results left out “Imperial”.
I don’t know those flowers, so years ago, with the print I had, it never occured to me to challenge it, or think it should be labeled differently.
And with that title so readily available in English, changing it to French or Dutch would be kind of affected… and even look rather pretentious around here.
So shall we just agree to disagree, please and stop discussing it?
As near as I can tell, this is the “Victory Drive-in Theatre” at 13037 Victory Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA.
If so, the telephone number is Sunset 1-8096.
“Invaders From Mars” was released in 1953, and “Distant Drums” was released in 1951.
StelBel?

My research indicates dusk begins when the Sun’s disk is just below the horizon, and lasts for 72 minutes.
On the longest day of the year in Los Angeles that means the movie starts anywhere from just after 20:00 hrs. to just after 21:12 hrs. P.D.T.
I always thought this song was kind of goofy. Now that I see the band, I am more intrigued. What a bunch of musicians for a rock band!

Never could make out the verses in this song, but I love the fiddle.
Me, too!
A collection of some long lost 1920’s era Indy photos:
Throwback Thursday: Indy 500 Racing in the 1920s – OnAllCylinders
we have no idea how far we’ve come until we see pictures like these!
Indeed!
I especially liked this one:
That must have inspired some scenes from “The Great Race”.
Back to yesterday:
Depending on the shooting schedule of “Them”, Leonard Nimoy would be 22 or 23 here.

Thanks for finding that! 😀
Fritillaries in a Copper Vase, 1887

Or “Kaiserkronen in (einer) Kupfervase”.

I’d stick to the French title (where he lived a long time)…
No need to keep nit-picking, is there? It’s not that important.
(And, btw, I was referring to the flowers, not the language.)

Fritillaries are also a subfamily of butterflies
Oooh … Sounds like a better word for butterflies than flowers.
I picture them gaily frittilating through the skies.
Wow… Another basset auto racing movie!
Riveting in orange, red and blue… with the title font racing across the page!
…
The thrills and agony, once more, of the Indy Basset 500.
Fast cars. A fast female dog or two… Fighting brother dogs…
all the expected elements of a fast-paced racing film.
Going so fast, I think Ann Sheridog must have fallen off the poster!
I think she must have climbed up into that black part on top…
there’s no roof on it, and of course, in those days, no seatbelt.
I’m sure she’s OK, though, cos she’s in the movie, and made many more afterwards.
…
Looking at their short legs and waddling gait…
who would think that basset hounds, over the years, have been so involved in a sport like auto racing!
Maybe it’s because of that, though…
maybe watching the sleek, shiny car bodies and slippery wheels…
or better yet, driving one of those cars…
pedals and steering gear specially built for basset control…
gives them a vicarious thrill that their pudgy forms can’t achieve on their own feet.
…
Virtually flying down the track… ears flapping in the wind!
Ann Sheridog is OK (thanks for inquiring!)! I think the poster artist just got tired…..
Susan, excellent review……AS USUAL!!!!
Car racing is a little more believable sport for a basset than foot racing…
blueberry cheesecake
I believe that one’s mine.
.
Photoshop gone mad.
or, one of our woodpeckers hitting a nail…
The nail is screwed.
You mean……that beak is not real??? I was so hoping it was and I was enjoying contemplating why a bird would evolve in such a fashion.

we had a Victory Drive-In in North Hollywood, which is a suburb in Los Angeles.
but the above poster says it’s on ”Hamilton”, not Victory Blvd.
I remeber all us kids rushing home from school to watch this movie when it was going to be on the “After School Special” on Channel 12… (ca. 1960)
wow! that sure looks like Cleo in the Weiner Mobile.
With the look on that basset’s face (Ann Sheridog?), I wouldn’t say the thrills are too sensational. But, I like the poster and the colors
Nope. Pat O’Basset! Ann Sheridog didn’t make the cut!! LOL
(see my reply to Susan!)
