It's a Birthday! Come play "The ABC's of ELLEMENO"

[serious crayons]

So are we on Q, then? I'm totally lost. OK, well ...

I have often quoted Ellemeno's wise words in my posts.

[Ellemeno]

            LEE, you make me GIGGLE
        KATHERINE, you're HILARIOUS
    ANKE, you are so IMAGINATIVE
SANDY, I love your JOCOSERIOUSNESS
    SARAH, you're a LOVIE-PIE
        LEE, I admire your METTLE
            AMANDA, you're usin' your NOODLE
        MERYL, you are so KINDHEARTED
    JESS, you are NUMERO UNO
JANICE, you are QUENCHLESS
    CRAYONS, you are QUINTESSENTIALLY QUICK-WITTED

Thank you, Buds!  I had a really happy birthday, in RL and here.  Big

Elle, I had this song in my head all day on your birthday, but I couldn't remember all the words:

"A," you're adorable, "B," you're so beautiful,
"C," you're a cutie full of charms.
"D," you're a darling and "E," you're exciting
And "F," you're a feather in my arms.
"G," you look good to me, "H," you're so heavenly,
"I," you're the one I idolize.
"J," we're like Jack and Jill, "K," you're so kissable,
"L," is the lovelight in your eyes.

"M," "N," "O," "P," I could go on all day.
"Q," "R," "S," "T," alphabetically speaking, you're OK.

U," made my life complete, "V," means you're very sweet,
Double-"U" "X" "Y" "Zee."
It's fun to wander through the alphabet with you
To tell you what you mean to me.

[Ellemeno]

Paul, thank you so much for that good ol' song.  I have always thought it was fun.  Just goes to show, we're not the first to love the ABCs. 

I've been looking for all the words to the Alix Dobkin song from the 1980s, "A, you're an Amazon."  Do you know it?  THIS is the kind of music I was listening to in the 80s:

A, you're an Amazon
B, going Brave and strong
Clearly and confidently, you "C"
D, you Delight me
E, you Excite me
How Fortunate a Female Faculty
"G," I Guess it's Good for me
H, oh How Heavenly
I [something]
J for sweet Justice
K for sweet Kisses
L-E-S-B-I-A-N for Letting go of
M-e
N
Oppression is no longer Over me.
P is Political Power to the Personal
Q is for the Queer you fear you
R
[then I can not for the life of me remember the rest]

I always loved this song, except for the word "fear" in that last line.  And I only had a very brief separatist phase, and don't want to let go of ALL M-e-N. 

I'm going to go see if I can find MP3s of Chris Williamson, Meg Christian, Holly Near...thanks for the round about reminder.

Elle, I missed that g-e-m, but I was generally one of about three men attending Chris Williamson concerts in the 80s.  (I knew all the words.)  In fact, I have Meg Christian's greatest hits in my car right now ("Ode to a Gym Teacher" LOL).  I always found Holly Near annoying and too full of herself.  My friends gave me a button that says "dykeling" with a cartoon of a duck.  I was honored.

[Ellemeno]

I love "Ode to a Gym Teacher."     Do you know who Fred Small is?  He's from your neck of the woods, I think.

I love "Heart of the Apaloosa".   

I was a bit of a folkie before I was a Brokie. 

BTW, I couldn't find the lyrics to the Amazon ABCs song on google. 

[Toast]

One classic Dobkin piece, Amazon ABC, reworks the heterosexual classic
A You’re Adorable,  B You’re So Beautiful:


“A” you’re an Amazon
“B” -coming Brave and strong
Clearly and Consciously you “C”
“D” you’re so Dykey
“E” how you Excite me
How Fortunate a Female Faculty
“G” I Guess it’s Good for me
“H” how Heavenly
“I” never knew how butchy I could be
“J” for sweet Justice
“K” for sweet Kisses
“L” -e-s-b-i-a-n for Letting go of
“M” -e-
“N”
“O” -ppression is no longer Over me, Oh
“P” is Political: Power to the Personal
“Q” for the Queer you feared you
“R” Remember you gotta Respect your
“S” –sential Sensibility (sexuality)
Time and Truth Touch (Between us is a Tie)
“U” -terine empathy
“V” is for Vagina, the Virgin you can
“W” experience (a universe) until you can do (get through to)
“X” -actly what you want (where you want) to X-ist
“Y” let them drive you craaa- (not Y’s up? but it’s not e e-)
“Z”
Now I know my “ABC’s”


I found it at Link
