Where am I going with this? First, a 1953 hit by a 13 year old girl with a terrible Ponca City accent even when singing:

I want a Hippopotamus For Christmas - YouTube

Seven years later, Gayla Peevey, singing under the name Jamie Horton, skipped briefly across the bottom of the charts with a few releases including this song. Can't find it on YouTube, but there was also a version of "What Should a Teen Heart Do" by Joan Weber, that you're allowed to hear a simple of::

What Should A Teen Heart Do? - Joan Weber - Pandora Internet Radio

You might recognize the melody in a track was on the first Miriam Makeba album, also in 1960:

From a hippopotamus to Africa. Imagine that.

Something in this sound is something you wish you could hold in your hands....but it's the aural equivalent of vapor....you just have to let it in....like breathing. Totally ethereal.

Washed Out - Soft


Washed Out - Soft - YouTube

Such a marvelously romantic, theatrical song. Nerdy and sappy....what a combination. True Hollywood glamour....and also so relevant to stories within my own world. How did she pull this off?

The video is fantastic.

Default Hannah plays chopin Nocturne #20 in C sharp minor - The Next Mozart? 6-Year Old Piano Prodigy Wows All

Here I was looking for songs of love and ran across a comment from a 21 year old woman who was ragging on us guys about how she wished men her age knew “what it means to love and care for a lady." If I din't have a girlfriend I wouldve blasted (correction --- written) her back because really (trying not to cuss---stuff like this p me off) I'm gonna get it out right now. Well dudes got a lot to say about this too. And here it is---

Hannah plays chopin Nocturne #20 in C sharp minor

This 21 year old wished men her age knew how to care for a Lady--- well who are we supposed to learn it from?

--- for every one person who is willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, there are 50 trying to put you down, laughing at your efforts making fun saying you aint had none in a while --- and other derogatory garbage because we are so puny and weak and scared our itty bitty feelings gonna get hurt that I better wear this 300 pounds of armor to protect myself from possible imagined pain, like it's the worst thing in the world.

Here I am tryiing to learn how to be a gentleman and it aint easy because in this society it aint normal!

What I wish is for these "ladies" to get off our backs or at least try and understand that people are products of their environment---you want mass gentlemenly men then support an environment that produces them. Give a guy a break who is at least trying to learn pretty much on his own. Learning how to love is not natural in the society we have, in fact it is downright unnatural.

The Next Mozart? 6-Year Old Piano Prodigy Wows All

The Next Mozart? 6-Year Old Piano Prodigy Wows All - YouTube

Learning how to game on you, learning how to take, learning how to "get mine" is all over the place but learn how to love --- where? Where can a guy go to learn how to love without being dogged out? Because learning how to love means learning how to be responsible and take care of other people's feelings who love you. This society doesn’t respect vulnerability, it don’t respect innocence, either, since all kinds of trash is shown or done in front of little kids---Gawd forbid we deny ourselves anything for the sake of others.

What's left is a bunch of guys who hang out prefering each other's company, sleep around and talk about what's hot. I'm supposed to be satisfied with that or something is wrong with me. That's why I decided to go the old fashion way.
I'm throwing this armor offa me and try to understand what these virtues that used to be a part of the American culture mean.

Because really chasing (correction ---practice,practice, practice---) pursuing cultural habits has only left me jaded and empty and
angry when it’s all said and done. I feel like telling these ladies to stop blaming us and maybe blame the fathers who ignored Grandpa's advice because everybody was liberated--- to hump around without responsibility and bingo bango Our generation was born.

How about learning how to take care of our friends' feelings, or how to take care of a girl's heart?

Yea I'm definitely gonna get a journal to help out my future grandkids---

I can't wait for daybreak to come--- thats what I get for reading comments instead of Shakespeare---

jtur88,
This just is AWESOME!! I am picking myself off the floor!

Number 1, this hippopotumus song is cute---CUTE!! And then next (#2) you hear the woman voice from that little girl all grown up! (Too bad about not having the whole song!) A sweet teen song! I could relate to this!

Then Number 3, same MELODY ! In African language! So sweet and soft and lovely I could use it to play for my girlfriend! Awesome!

I went to get the picutres to make it easy for everyone to follow your story. Here it goes---

(this one does not have the picture---I agree it is NOWHERE around and this is a bit of it, but you get the sound of the melody.)

Thank you for the lesson in how music gets around and for the intro to Ms. Makeba who knocks me Out! I am happy that I got to listen to the same melody in unusual places.
