Colonel Bogey? (Think Bridge on the River Kwai.)

Nah.


Bet that shows up in between songs.  The late great Elmer Bernstein wrote that ...


Actually, no. Per numerous online sourcs, it was written by one Lieutenant F.J. Alford, a bandmaster in the Royal Marines, and published under the pseudonym of Kenneth Alford.

guess that's why the academy didn't nominate him, even though he was credited for it on the screen.

Did anybody mention "Love Is Like Oxygen"?  It's got whistling, don't it?

BOS for Focus, by virtue of it having in addition to whistling, yodeling, scatting (sort of), and accordion!

And laughing.  Does anybody remember laughter?

Say, there's an idea for a set.

Woo Hoo!  Dave whips out the DP "...the loo-oong version" clip for "Hocus Pocus"


The quintessential "Super Hit 6."

6 whistles in a leaky boat!

Well, I gotta give Dave props (since I needle him so often): he's had a VERY good week. Aside from Tuesday's dull '84 set, we've had a *spectacular* '68, a superb '74, a much-better-than-expected '86, and now this.  It'll be a pleasure to wake up to the marathon tomorrow.

Here's an annotation for you guys on GWF's 2nd verse:

Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai-yu

Andre is probably André Malraux, French author of Man's Fate a novel about a failed Communist uprising in Shanghai set in 1930 (and written before anyone heard of Mao Tse Tung)

Chiang Ching is probably a variation on Chiang Kai-shek, whose nationalists always use blue as their color

Lin Tai-yu is the name of one of the main characters in the ancient classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber.
