Yeah! And wtf with starting a Hell thread about Louis Armstrong? Is he the only one who ever wrote a song about the world being wonderful? I doubt it, although I can't think of another song/songwriter off the top of my head at the moment.

I think that's the point.
And I know you're just being a shithead, Pyx, but you better back off my man Louie. You are not fit to sponge the dribble out of his water key.

Fold it five ways and put it where the sun don't shine, Pxy_e. If you gotta go after somebody, make it Bob Thiele and George Weiss, who wrote the tune (yeah, it's kind of sappy, in a charming way). Lay off Pops or Kelly and I will make sure your ass is grass.

Just because someone makes a happy positive song there's no need to hate them. McCartney wrote Good Day Sunshine.

... yeah, bad example.
Here's what sucks about being the quotes file mavin. The following? Brilliant.

It even required a bit of research, otherwise it would have been, "You are not fit to sponge the dribble out of that thingy that releases the spit from the trumpet." Will it ever be enshrined in our memory? No. Because as my mom always said, the lady who buys the birthday cards never gets a card on her own birthday.

Actually for me I genuinely do hate that song, its his voice that really grates on me. Was watching a TV show recently of Top 50 number ones of all time, and when that one came on, my companions were a bit taken aback with the angry tirade it prompted from me!

It's totally overplayed, true. Good Morning, Vietnam should have put the nail in the coffin. But it's just one dorky song out of an otherwise stylistic, jazztastic career.

I loved it Kelly, and read it out loud to my trumpet player husband who calls it a "spit valve," but knew the other, nicer term, too.
Now all together! Lets sing, "Put on a Happy Face," to Pyx_e, complete with hand motions.

I considered a "RooKs Strong Arm Tactics" thread in Styx to round it off but by my estimation I'm 99 yards done on the 100 yd dash in Styx.
Tommorrows sermon is based around sitting in the door of the plane, parachute on getting ready to jump.............. for 40 years. In case anyone was intrested.

Hey, Pyx_e, have you thought about leaving old dead soul crooners alone to moulder into dust, and ranting about the Ship's transformation from jalepeno salsa to marshmallows on white bread, though a spate of relationship/people as commodities threads which somehow missed their rightful home in the Ship's chatroom??? There is a thread about how to make friends (according to the Genesis creation account, you shape them from loose earth and breathe on them). There is a thread about how to make small talk (about which I will not comment further). I mean, what's next, a thread about selecting suitable forms of gossip while painting one another's toenails?

Completely un-hellish post about Louis and the subject song:
I do a pretty mean imitation of ol' Satchmo, bless his heart. My mother loves it. My very shy, never-do-anything-to-attract-attention-to-yourself dearly beloved wife can find it funny in the proper context.
We were all going to an Easter buffet and I had to drop back in line to help my mother in from her car. Said song starts playing over the intercom. My wife turns three different shades of red and say to her mother (thru grinding teeth) "I'm gonna kill him! I'm just gonna kill him!"
Ok, everyone, as you were...

I think the brother is trying to make you aware of the incredible karmic risk you put yourself in when you dog Satchmo, even in jest. A humbly whispered "Thank you" is your appropriate response.
