How many lameass wholesome songs do we have ingrained in our minds?I ask this question because today my eleven-year-old daughter, who attends an international school in my adopted homeland of Costa Rica,was going over the words of "Do-re-mi",from Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The Sound of Music".Now,I don't know about the rest of you kiddies,but as Woof and 85DJ can attest to,this was as much of a lunch or dinner time staple as stale bread and thinly sliced bologna during our tenures.Funny thing is,the song was probably dubbed in Spanish and the words were completely changed to make "Latin" musical sense.So,to complete this twenty minute flashback,I had to sing the original tune two or three times so she could hear the original English version.All I could think of was those hard chairs for the rest of the night.
