Mary gives us the prompts, we give her the songs. Such as:
A Song Parody: Allan Sherman, a George M. Cohan medley from 1963’s My Son, The Celebrity, with "Barry Is The Baby’s Name" ("Mary"), "Horowitz" ("Harrigan"), and "Get On The Garden Freeway" ("Give My Regards To Broadway").
A Song written for a girl: Oliver, "Jean." Written by Rod McKuen for the 1969 film The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie.
A Planet: Paul McCartney & Wings, "Venus And Mars." The person who made this video took the song and its reprise and did a fine job of sticking them together.
Play along, if you’d like. Color me gone…
Haven’t heard any of these before. Particularly loved the flute in Venus and Mars.

Glad I could widen your musical knowledge!

The parody was funny. I know I heard Jean before but don’t remember it. I never heard Venus and Mars before but I like it.

Excellent choices this week! Hadn’t heard this in forever, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard the parody before.

Glad you enjoyed my picks! I was a huge Allan Sherman fan before the Beatles. (I was what, seven?)

John,
“Jean” is a song I haven’t heard in a long time. Either I didn’t know or just forgot that Oliver did this song. Nice picks for this week’s challenge. 🙂 Come over when you can to sample my WSC picks. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

Around the time “Jean” was popular, I was developing an interest in a girl named Jeanne, so you can probably imagine it’s kind of a special song.
