Dear All

Hello

This song is being played during a TV advert:

"Make Your Own Kind Of Music"


Nobody can tell you
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell you
Cause it hangs them up
To see someone like you


But you gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along


You're gonna be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough going
Just to do your thing is the hardest thing to do


But you gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along


So if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be going, I will understand


You gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along


You gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own kind of song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along


You gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own kind of song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along


No, no, no, no
Even if nobody else sings along
If nobody else sings along".

Hope you enjoy this.

Take gentle care
Love Elizabeth, EOS

Great song sung by Mama Cass (Elliot) in the late 1960s.

Haven't seen the advert Elizabeth but I loved Cass's recording of the song. Thank you for reminding me of it. :-D

It's a lovely song, Elizabeth.
I'm quite taken by this other 'blast from the past' - Labi Siffre's 'Bless the telephone', being used for some advert or another :-D

Yes, I remember Mama Cass' version. Paloma's version is on the Skoda ad and is on her cd The Architect

I have just had a great urge to go on YouTube and play 'Crystal Chandeliers and Burgundy'.

Feel better now!
