“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 🙂
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
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!
What the hell, I’m gonna go into conference w dibs, rob, and cgar and enjoy one. Mrs. D will be providing security, and you don’t want to piss off a Colombian woman!

Rob, I may beat you when I see you!
It’s called Last Exit.
Google it. I’m NOT telling you where it is or what train, bus or taxi goes near there!
Let’s see how resourceful you are. THIS IS A TEST.
Where is Conference Call? and what subway stop is it near?!
*rob*
“Denton, will you be sipping Pina Coladas? :-)”
What the hell, I’m gonna go into conference w dibs, rob, and cgar and enjoy one. Mrs. D will be providing security, and you don’t want to piss off a Colombian woman!
Glad I successfully showed how little I know, Snappy! One can never be too careful.
Time to make the tacos! Night everyone 🙂
