a few of 'My Favorite Things'
 

With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein and Julie Andrews....

Ancient Ford pickups with bias ply tires,
Real flathead engines and cloth covered wires,
Full floating axles with overload springs,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Flatbeds and flaresides with 6 volt ignitions,
Bench seats and cab lights and crash box transmissions,
Faded out paintjobs without any bling,
These are a few of my favorite things

Wheels with stock hubcaps and unaltered dashes,
NOS fenders without cracks or bashes'
Mufflers and tailpipes not tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

When the clutch slips, when the seal drips
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so Sad,
And then I don't feeeeel so bad.......

Did this on FTE about 3 years ago and many chimed in with verses of their own..... Just sayin' and we all have our own 'favorite things'.

Perhaps I'm the only 'motorhead' that likes musicals...... :D Back in the old days musicals like South Pacific, White Christmas and later, West Side Story were enjoyed by returning home GIs who saved the world from the hideous axis menace. I pretty much missed the music of the 80s because I was living in a one room cabin in the deep woods raising 4 kids. That goes a long way towards explaining my nerdiness.

Galveston for me... Wide taste in music from Country through to heavy metal ( Motorhead, Iron Maiden) and liking musicals does not make you a "nerd". Infact any music with the exception of "rap crap" and this poor excuse for music today that you see on the music channels that relies on scantily cladded girls wiggling their tushes to sell the stuff...ok to look at I suppose but totally talentless, the majority of them.

Love it, pretty clever.

Re: a few of 'My Favorite Things'
 

You're not the only one that likes old musicals. Your composition stirred some genuine emotion.

Re: a few of 'My Favorite Things'
 

Love it! We have some of the same favorite things!

Gotta say Barbara has it goin' on on that one. I sing it more like Julie Andrews. :eek: We saw the movie in about '65 when I was a kid in Seattle at the Martin Cinerama. My mom always bought the album from all the movies we saw. I can still remember being half way home from school and mom had the windows wide open, the hi-fi blarin' with the latest musical, bottle of seagrams on the kitchen counter and me hoping none of the other kids could see her dancing in front of the living room window. About ten years later she started in AA and 50 years atfer she is still a kick in the A$$. She was always an awesome mom. I'm glad they took me along with them to the current movies. How about it's a mad mad mad world? Don't get much better than that.

Good for mom GB. Funny how some things we always remember growing up. Sounds like you got a great mom for sure. A mad mad mad mad world,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ya. I remember when I was 17 going to the show when that first came out. Excellent humor and a great cast of characters. Just watched it last week on TCM.
