We proudly welcome Tony Orlando
The state fair marquee reads
Inside a thousand people with yellow ribbons sing
And clap on one and three

Watch him burn, he's dropping to his knees
Watch him burn, a medley, hits from Grease
Watch him burn, he never fails to please

Meanwhile in Tahoe outside Casa Tony
Wetting rags in gasoline
A jealous Frankie Valli says "Dawn, I want you back"
Lights a match and counts to three

Watch it burn, reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn, acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn, humming "Sherry," splits the scene

Watch it burn, reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn, acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn, humming "Sherry," splits the scene

We're sorry to inform you
Tony Orlando has been postponed

I like Yo La when Georgia sings! A definite 60s chamberpop sound, too. Had to bump this one up a notch.

I'm not keen on the song, but I love the title.

Wonder if this sells well in Branson Mo.
Well, no. Teaneck, NJ, yes. :)

Her voice is naturally very soft--and one of the reasons might be that she's also the drummer. Some musicians can't give 100% while doing 2 things. Even Sting admits that his bass was weak when he played/sung for the Police.

Sound like Astraud Gilberto with a Pop twist
