  1. “I’m sure I’ve mentioned my love of Diana Krall before (Ms. Krall, if you are reading this by any chance, please divorce Elvis Costello, become a raging lesbian and take me away from all this!).”

    Snappy, I can’t stand Diana Krall! Her first album was great, after that she decided to go for the big mainstream bucks and just sang some kinda pop pablum. I actually saw her in person at Westbury.

    She reminds me of Harry Connick in the way she co-opted jazz and then went after the mass market.

    As they say, YMMV. But if I see you and her swishing down the street together, I’ll give you a wassup 🙂

  2. Did ya enjoy that? Yeah, I did too 🙂 So, now on to our second and final number for the evening. I’m sure I’ve mentioned my love of Diana Krall before (Ms. Krall, if you are reading this by any chance, please divorce Elvis Costello, become a raging lesbian and take me away from all this!). One of my favorite songs that Diana Krall covers is “Peel Me a Grape.” This song has been recorded by a number of artists, but Ms. Krall brings a real sense of sass to this tune. I’ve always said that any man who wonders how to make a woman happen needs only to listen to this song! The lyrics are posted below and the link will allow you to listen to the song.

    Peel me a grape, crush me some ice
    Skin me a peach, save the fuzz for my pillow
    Talk to me nice, talk to me nice
    You’ve got to wine and dine me

    Don’t try to fool me bejewel me
    Either amuse me or lose me
    I’m getting hungry, peel me a grape

    Pop me a cork, french me a fry
    Crack me a nut, bring a bowl full of bon-bons
    Chill me some wine, keep standing by
    Just entertain me, champagne me
    Show me you love me, kid glove me
    Best way to cheer me, cashmere me
    I’m getting hungry, peel me

    Here’s how to be an agreeable chap
    Love me and leave me in luxury’s lap
    Hop when I holler, skip when I snap
    When I say, “do it,” jump to it

    Send out for scotch, boil me a crab
    Cut me a rose, make my tea with the petals
    Just hang around, pick up the tab
    Never out think me, just mink me
    Polar bear rug me, don’t bug me
    New Thunderbird me, you heard me
    I’m getting hungry, peel me a grape
    Slowly

    Here’s how to be an agreeable chap
    Love me and leave me in luxury’s lap
    Hop when I holler, skip when I snap
    When I say, “do it,”
    Mmmmmmmmm

    Send out for scotch, boil me a crab
    Cut me a rose, make my tea with the petals
    Just hang around, pick up the tab
    Never out think me, just mink me
    Polar bear rug me, don’t bug me
    New Thunderbird me, you heard me
    I’m getting hungry, peel me a grape
    Peel me
    Peel me a grape

  3. Good evening folks! DJ Snappy once again reporting for duty.

    Tonight I’m feelin’ jazzy….how about you? Yes? Ok…good! First up on the playlist is a great little toe-tappin’ tune by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Yup…it’s “Take Five.” There are of course no words to this number, so you’ll have to follow the link and have a listen. Be sure to sit on the edge of your seat so you can tap that foot!
