Shaboom

FTLComm - Tisdale - Saturday, July 28, 2001


When I see a cloud like the one above I immediately associate it with its potential capabilities and this morning as I was getting up the West had turned all a dark blue and there was the distant rumble of thunder. The clouds were singing.

When I took these pictures Friday night they reminded me of an old pop song from the fifties. The group was called the "Crew Cuts" and their song was best known for its nonsense tag line. But the line that was coming to my mind as I looked at this sky was the whimsical, "Life could be a dream, If I could take you up in paradise up above" so to accompany the pictures we have this odd little song ten or eleven lines long with its cheery sounds.

ta da de ding dong ta ling a ling a ling
don oh da ling a ling a ling

Oh Life could be a dream, (Shaboom)
If I could take you up in paradise up above, (Shaboom)
If you tell me I'm the only one that you love (Shaboom)
Life would be a dream sweetheart
Hello hello hello again Shaboom I'm hoping we'll meet again

Oh Life could be a dream, (Shaboom)
Before our precisous plans are coming true(Shaboom)
If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you(Shaboom)
Life would be a dream sweetheart

Now very time I look at you something is on my mind
If you do what I want you to, baby we'd be so fine

Oh Life could be a dream, (Shaboom)
If I could take you up in paradise up above, (Shaboom)
If you tell me I'm the only one that you love (Shaboom)
Life would be a dream sweetheart

Shaboom, shaboom, yada da da da da
Shaboom, shaboom, yada da da da da
Shaboom, shaboom, yada da da da da
Shaboom

Shaboom, shaboom, yada da da da da
Shaboom, shaboom, yada da da da da
Shaboom, shaboom, yada da da da da
Shaboom

Every time I look at you something is on my mind
If you do what I want you to, baby we'd be so fine

Life could be a dream, (Shaboom)
If I could take you up in paradise up above, (Shaboom)
If you tell me I'm the only one that you love (Shaboom)
Life would be a dream sweetheart
Hello hello hello again Shaboom I'm hoping we'll meet again

Hello de ding dong da ling a ling a ling

(originally recorded by the Crew Cuts)
