I remember this...I really think Jacques Brel's style of ironic social observation was what awoke this in Scott too....thanks for putting this up its fab!
Oh, this is just so funny, from a 23-year old tongue-in-cheek wit. Thank you so much for posting the lyrics, and the lyrics of the other songs, too. It's very thoughtful of you.
this definitely has a Broadway musical sound to it. I picture a tenement on a summer's day. the singer sitting on a stoop, telling us the story. Plus, most definitely a late teen/early 20s guy's fantasy. Kind of like Summer of '42.
His sonorous voice is hard to beat. He just has a sense of conveying certain moods in the songs he sings. Whether it's melancholic or happy songs. Definitely an exceptional musician. There will never be another like him.
@guidofski you have an exceptionally good taste in music. That impresses me.🌈So you get a rainbow from me for you like the Rolling Stones song ''She's a Rainbow'' 👍one Rainbow is the highest in the all time greatest hits ranking. there is nothing more.
Probably one of the first songs I heard which started me off as a lifelong fan.
Rest in peace, Scott.
Beautifully orchestrated, and sung by a genius.
Oh, those stoop conversations of old. He observed everzthing around him, for sure. A real writer\s talent to observe......
